Scientific American praises the paper Leonard and Sheldon wrote together, but does not mention Leonard's name. Sheldon fails to comfort Leonard over the omission, while Penny tries to cheer up Leonard by doing some online shopping for him.

Meanwhile, Howard, Bernadette and Raj arrive at Howard's mother's home to remove some of her belongings, only to be told by Stuart the power is out. A distraught Howard realizes the last food his mother ever cooked will defrost in the freezer and be ruined. He decides to invite his friends over to eat it all, so it will be like his mother is feeding everybody one last time. At the dinner, Sheldon and Leonard argue about whether an idea's inspiration or execution is more important. Bernadette takes Sheldon and Leonard to another room and scolds them for their bickering. Howard remarks that Bernadette's yelling sounds similar to his mother's, though the others claim to not hear it. Finally, everyone is over-stuffed from eating and lazing around the house. The group expresses mild excitement upon hearing that an online publication has mentioned Leonard's name in connection to the paper, but become much more enthusiastic when Bernadette finds more Tums.

Sheldon meets the middle-aged Dr. Lorvis who tracked down a flirty pharmaceutical sales rep, Penny. Leonard explains to him that Penny is his fiancée, so he walks away looking sad. Sheldon invites him inside for a hot beverage. He is a celebrity urinary specialist with a huge memorabilia collection which he invites the men to see. After Sheldon teases that the Penny-Leonard relationship is doomed to fail, Dr. Lorvis locks them in his basement to go after Penny again. He falls for Amy and then Bernadette. Penny explains to him that he is acting creepy, and cannot chase every woman that is nice to him. The girls march him back to let the men out, who are too busy playing Donkey Kong to notice.

Earlier Bernadette tells the girls that she has been picked as one of the fifty most beautiful scientists for an article in a magazine. The magazine cancels the article because Amy wrote an email of complaint about the article since they would not have written about handsome male scientists and are objectifying women. Bernadette claims Amy is jealous because she cannot express her sexuality. Bernadette returns to apologize when she gets hit on by Dr. Lorvis.

Guest star: Billy Bob Thornton as Dr. Oliver Lorvis

Sheldon is allowed to study what he wants in exchange for becoming a junior professor and teaching a class; he is not happy, and nobody signs up for his class because of his reputation. Howard decides to take the class to work on a doctorate, but Sheldon focuses on areas of physics that Howard does not understand to humiliate him. Howard gets him back by being a horrible student leading to an incident where he shoots a spitball into Sheldon's mouth, causing him to be reported to Human Resources. After dropping the class, Howard asks Sheldon engineering questions which Sheldon answers. The men eventually heal by celebrating their own genius, and asking each other questions.

Meanwhile, Bernadette feels Penny should start studying for her pharmaceutical job, but Penny wants to wait, which leads to tension. Amy loves being in the middle, pretending to agree with both of them. Now she can spend time with each one alone, and increase her bond of friendship by trash talking about the other woman and feeling immensely popular. Her good times are short-lived when Bernadette and Penny apologize to each other, and Amy ends up eavesdropping on her friends to see if they are getting along.

Sheldon claims the men have not invented anything significant recently because they had all been distracted by their girlfriends, so they plan a weekend of brainstorming. The girls use the free time to go to Las Vegas.

Reviewing their old brainstorming sessions they find only ideas that involve robot girlfriends. Next they work on the hover board from Back to the Future Part II, but keep getting distracted much to Leonard's frustration. Later at Leonard's lab they have further distractions from the internet and end up back at home watching Ghostbusters along with Leonard.

Meanwhile in Vegas, the girls are about to go out when Penny is given some home work by her boss. Bernadette and Amy leave and get drunk. When they return to their room, they find Penny still studying, but take her with them to a strip club, where Amy and Bernadette have fun while Penny keeps studying. The next morning a relaxed Penny heads to the pool and gets her revenge for last night by blinding Bernadette and Amy with the sun from the window while they both deal with extremely terrible hangovers.

Sheldon has a problem in his dark matter Proton decay research. After Penny says doing a fitness routine she hates motivates her, Sheldon seeks to do the same with his anxiety level while he works. The guys enjoy irritating Sheldon when he asks them to do so, while he annoys the women when he tries to listen to their mindless girl talk. Sheldon becomes exhausted and hallucinates among other things. A frustrated Amy throws him out of her apartment when he focuses on his research and anxiety during their date night. On the bus home he hallucinates a man is really a mix of an Armadillo and Isaac Newton. Leonard and Penny are able to get an exhausted Sheldon to sleep after singing Soft Kitty to him. Sheldon is able to continue his research afterwards.

Meanwhile, Howard has invented a game 'Emily or Cinnamon' where the rest of the friends try and guess whether an embarrassing quote from Raj was said to his girlfriend or his dog. Raj is annoyed, but Emily is okay with it, thinking it is sexy that Raj is sensitive. She kisses Raj and is turned off by the dog hair in his mouth.

Nicki is back in town, so she and Justin immediately hit the bedroom. Justin expresses insecurity over being good enough for Nicki, especially with her spending so much time away from him, so he reluctantly uses a sexual "move" that Danny offered to diagram for him. Nicki is thrilled, but Justin becomes infuriated upon learning that Danny took credit for the move in a conversation with Nicki. Elsewhere, Shelly resolves to make Burski cry, after the latter proclaims he hasn't cried since he was five years old.

After sleeping with Sabrina, Leslie's college friend who is back in town to attend a PhD program at the University of Michigan, Danny feels like he's actually made a connection with a woman. But Sabrina pulls a "Danny" on him, and evades his attempts to make a second date. In another twist, Justin, now in a committed relationship with Nicki, feels compelled to give Danny relationship advice. Elsewhere, Brett feels that his coming out has made Justin uptight about their friendship. When Justin denies this, Brett has an odd suggestion for making Justin prove it.

Justin meets her fiancee, a tech millionaire, who thanks Justin for never showing up to reconnect with Nicki – Nicki had told him that if Justin ever did show up at her home, she might have gone back to him. Danny convinces his Justin that if Nicki was the love of his life, he would have left everything last summer and moved to be with her. Elsewhere, the gang lists things Burski would do to get into Leslie's pants, but one of Burski's responses winds up hurting Leslie's feelings.

After initially saying Candace is a big girl and staying out of it, Danny eventually gives the same advice that Justin gave.
