The synopsis for the upcoming episode states that Penny (Kaley Cuoco) will have the "opportunity to host Bill Gates at work" after the billionaire expresses his interest to collaborate with her pharmaceutical company. Of course, Leonard, played by Johnny Galecki, Howard, played by Simon Helberg, and Raj, played by Kunal Nayyar will all be clamoring to meet Gates.
The synopsis also states that Sheldon, played by Jim Parsons, will feel like he has fallen victim of an April Fool's prank. However, it is not specified if Gates' appearance is related to the prank in question, or if the prank could be something else entirely.
Episode 18's narrative can be considered lighter at this point, given that it is still six episodes away from the season finale. Gates' appearance should be a delightful one for the viewers and fans of the show. However, the highlight of the season will be when Sheldon and Amy, played by Mayim Bialik, decide to finally tie the knot.
"The Big Bang Theory" season 11 episode 18 will premiere on Thursday, March 29, at 8 p.m. EST on CBS.
