    Sistah!

    Missy, Sheldon's fraternal twin (See Young Sheldon) is in town for a wedding and stays over at the apartment. She is gorgeous and the four musketeers do everything they can to get her interested. She is pretty formidable.. Sheldon is rather clueless but Missy would know all about that. The episode is worth watching just to see Raj's sight gags after he takes part in an experiment to change his fear of women.

    The Pork Chop Indeterminacy

    This is an episode that becomes more interesting now we have 'Young Sheldon', as we know much more about Sheldon/Missy's relationship when they were growing up.

    Even without that this is a strong episode of the show, with some nice lines along the way. It perhaps doesn't build to anything other than the other guys hitting on Missy, but it's so well played you forgive this fact.

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Missy (Courtney Henggeler) calls Sheldon (Jim Parsons) by his nickname, "Shelly", just like their mother (Laurie Metcalf).
    • Goofs
      Missy is having Sheldon sign papers to "settle (their) father's estate). However, their father died 10-15 years prior to this episode.

      While not common, it does happen that things crop up many years later that need to be resolved.

      Sheldon: Eat this cheese without farting, and you can sleep with my sister.
