On tonight’s Big Bang Theory Leonard thinks he has had a scientific breakthrough. He runs over to show Sheldon his theory. Sheldon thinks that Leonard is on to something, so he gives him a “good job” sticker.
When Leonard wakes up, he find that Sheldon had worked out the math and even wrote a paper, taking partial credit for the idea. Sheldon suggests that they post it online to see if anyone else has come up with it before. Leonard agrees.
The next day, they look over the positive comments the article is getting but do come across a negative one. This bothers them and Sheldon decides to retaliate, starting a comment war. Raj and Howard tell Sheldon that he should just focus on the positive comments they are getting. Instead, Sheldon confronts the commenter saying he will meet him at anytime and any place. This prompts the commenter to send Sheldon a video chat. Sheldon gets scared and closes the computer quickly.
Raj encourages Leonard and Sheldon, saying that they actually did something worthy of them being proud and shouldn’t be bothered by comments online. Sheldon decides to call him back. To their surprise, Professor Steven Hawking answers. He says he does like their paper, but he insulted them because he does get bored being in a chair for 40 years. Leonard and Sheldon get excited that he thinks what they wrote is intriguing.
In tonight’s subplot, the girls have a movie night. Bernadette and Amy want to watch Penny’s movie Serial Ape-ist 2, even though she is embarrassed by it. During the movie, Penny comes across a video on the Internet of Bernadette in a beauty pageant. Bernadette begs her not to watch the video, saying she has learned her lesson, making fun of people is wrong. Penny plays the video, showing Bernadette in a large puffy dress. She tells the audience why she should win complete with a rendition of the Spice Girls “Wannabe.” Amy excitedly tells Penny to play it again while Bernadette buries her face in her hands.
Bernadette tells Penny about Amy’s Little House on the Prairie fan fiction that she writes online about her and Sheldon, who is a time traveling physicist that she falls in love with. After initially making fun of it, they get into the story hanging by Amy’s every word. That is when Leonard barges in, wanting to tell them the good news. Bernadette and Penny yell at him to get out, anxious to hear how Amy’s story ends.
At the end of the episode, we see Penny and Leonard in bed. Penny is reading Leonard the fan fiction. He is enjoying it until he hears Amy start to get sensual with Sheldon. That is when he decides he doesn’t want to hear anymore and it is time for bed.
