The Big Bang Theory season 11 episode 5 spoilers: Secret to Sheldon

How do you solve how to deal with Sheldon? On The Big Bang Theory season 11 episode 5, that’s going to be a key part in the storyline. He’s not often the easiest character in the world to tolerate, and some of his friends can attest to that for a wide array of different reasons. He’s incredibly smart, but at the same time also socially inept. If you watch this show with great regularity you already know all of this. The only thing that some of his friends can do as a result of Sheldon’s behavior is try to figure out some of the right ways to either help him or help themselves when he gets out of control.

Out of everyone to figure out Sheldon, doesn’t it make sense that it could be Penny? She’s one of the best of the group in terms of social interaction, and she also does probably help that on the October 23 episode she’s going to have some help in learning some of the best ways to get him to cool his jets. The synopsis below offers up some additional insight in terms of what’s coming.

“The Collaboration Contamination” – Sheldon and Koothrappali confide in Bernadette when they can’t handle Amy and Wolowitz working together. Also, Penny and Leonard learn new tactics for how to deal Sheldon from an unlikely source, on THE BIG BANG THEORY, Monday, Oct. 23 (8:00-8:31 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

So who could this source be? To CBS’ credit they are doing a good job keeping that a secret at the moment. They haven’t announced too many people in terms of the guest cast for the episode so it could, in theory, be just about anyone who is helping out. Maybe it’s a secret character, or maybe it is someone within the regular cast who has figured out an added secret or two of their own. One of the few things we know with some abject certainty is that CBS may want to keep a future cameo hush-hush after their big one in the premiere (Stephen Hawking) was announced in advance, therefore ruining a little bit of the surprise.

This episode should prove to be the last one for season 11 airing on Monday nights. Remember that after this the show will be moving over to Thursdays at 8:00 p.m. Eastern starting on November 2, which is where in turn it will be paired with Young Sheldon once more.
