**The Price of Love** is the second half of the sixth episode of season 3.

The episode was produced in 2005 and premiered on Nickelodeon in the United States on October 25, 2008.

## Plot

When Sheldon watches a romance film in a movie theater, he gets an idea about how to make Jenny realize that she loves him; he tries to make her jealous by paying Pteresa to be his girlfriend. Meanwhile, Jenny has a screw loose in one of her ponytails, which interferes with her advanced auditory systems. She continually tries asking Sheldon for help, only to find him showing off with Pteresa.

The plan backfires when Jenny is inspired to ask out a popular boy instead, named Sebastian, and she suggests a double-date, which Sheldon is forced to agree to. Even though he's broke, Sheldon can't back down or he'll risk losing all of his money for nothing. To get the cash, he puts almost everything that he owns into a garage sale, including a time machine that took 9 years to develop, and a special gift, a mechanical flower built for Jenny.

At the restaurant, Sebastian gives Jenny the artificial flower, which replaces the screw in her ponytail and actually improves her hearing further. Jenny is elated, but Sheldon becomes angry when Sebastian lies about where it came from. Sheldon tries to get a confession out of him, but Sebastian is more interested in talking to Pteresa. Then Jenny argues with Sheldon for being rude, until the two popular kids leave together, effectively dumping their respective dates. A mishap causes Jenny to leave alone, but when she looks at the broken flower, she realizes that Sheldon created it, and she begins considering him in a new light.

The next day, she goes to Sheldon's house, to find out what Pteresa saw in him that Jenny hadn't noticed before. Sheldon immediately apologizes and explains what happened, while he repairs Jenny's loose ponytail with her missing screw, but she only hears the last thing that he says. Then Jenny storms off, believing that he rejected her, because he thinks he could do better. Sheldon tries to catch her, but accidentally destroys his underwear in the process, leaving him stranded behind a bush in his front yard.

Pteresa walks by, holding hands with Sebastian. She tells Britt and Tiff that popular people always win, but a quick flash-forward to 20 years in the future shows the girls don't have a good life. In the background is Tuck, sitting in the time machine, who laughs as he sees their fate, before going back to the present.
