In one unforgettable episode, her brainy, lovable persona took a bizarre detour into backstabbing territory.

InThe Big Bang TheorySeason 8, Episode 7,Mayim Bialik’s Amy hit a major low. When Bernadette got picked for a list of the 50 sexiest scientists in California, Amy flipped out. She was all about celebrating brains over beauty—and thought the whole thing was tacky.
