TBBT episode 9.22 "The Fermentation Bifurcation" is interesting as that it shows Sheldon and Bernadette together. There are comparatively few Sheldon-Bernardette stories in TBBT. It would have been interesting if Melissa had played Penny or Amy. The height difference between Melissa and Jim could make some great physical comedy :-)
Everything belongs to Lorre and Prady. Story starts in mid-season 3 before Amy appeared.

Leonard came out of Penny's apartment and said "Penny isn't feeling well, she will not be at the Cheesecake Factory tonight."
Sheldon said "that's not acceptable, Penny may be a terrible waitress but at least she knows my burger order."
"Well someone else will serve us tonight, do you want a sick person serving food? Come on Raj and Howard are meeting us there".
At the Cheesecake Factory Sheldon said to Howard "We are going to talk Physics, I am sure you can find something to amuse yourself on your phone in the meantime."
"I have a Masters degree" but before Howard could say anything else a small blonde lady appeared.
"Welcome to the Cheesecake Factory, my name is Bernardette, what can I get for you gentlemen tonight?"
Sheldon said "Penny's replacement, another dumb blonde."
"Who are you calling dumb there Mr Skinny? Like your little friend there I have a Masters degree and I am studying for a PhD."
"Really, I am DOCTOR Sheldon Cooper, I have two PhDs. My friend here with the glasses is Doctor Hofstadter and the quiet Indian is Doctor Koothrapalli, we are all Physicists. However, Mr Wolowitz here is a mere engineer."
"I am studying for a PhD in microbiology of bacteria in yeast."
"Biology, well at least it isn't Geology."
"Would you like to see the menu?"
"That would be a good idea"
