In Season 3, Episode 22, a seemingly minor disagreement over the thermostat sends Leonard to Penny's apartment, where he explains how he came to live with Sheldon seven years earlier. Through a series of flashbacks, Leonard recounts answering Sheldon's advertisement for a roommate, meeting Sheldon's previous roommate, enduring Sheldon's unusual \"barriers\" for prospective roommates, and ultimately agreeing to move in despite numerous warnings about Sheldon's personality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe episode also reveals the origin of the apartment building's infamous broken elevator. At the time Leonard moved in, the elevator was still functioning. Later, Leonard, Howard, and Raj experiment with rocket fuel, and Leonard makes a critical error in his calculations. When the fuel becomes unstable, Sheldon realizes Leonard is in danger and saves him by putting the fuel into the elevator and sending it away. The resulting explosion destroys the elevator, explaining why the characters have been forced to use the stairs throughout much of the series.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe flashbacks also provide additional history about Leonard, Sheldon, Howard, and Raj, while showing the apartment building and its residents as they existed in 2003. The episode combines the explanation of two important pieces of the show's history—Leonard and Sheldon's roommate relationship and the broken elevator—into one extended flashback story.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor DVD Player (North American NTSC)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Warner Bros","offers":[{"title":"Used In Pamphlet","offer_id":51957086880022,"sku":"137042","price":149.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0083\/0377\/1710\/files\/2026092221221674085b33242e81.jpg?v=1790137824","url":"https:\/\/www.neverdiemedia.com\/products\/the-big-bang-theory-the-staircase-implementation-fyc","provider":"NeverDieMedia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
