Mensa-fied best friends and roommates Leonard and Sheldon, physicists who work at the California Institute of Technology, may be able to tell everybody more than they want to know about quantum physics, but getting through most basic social situations, especially ones involving women, totally baffles them. How lucky, then, that babe-alicious waitress/aspiring actress Penny moves in next door. Frequently seen hanging out with Leonard and Sheldon are friends and fellow Caltech scientists Wolowitz and Koothrappali. Will worlds collide? Does Einstein theorize in the woods?

After their apartment is robbed, Leonard and Sheldon turn to their friends to create a state-of-the-art security system.

Unhappy to learn that Penny is seeing someone, Leonard summons the courage to ask another woman on a date.

Sheldon is determined to convince Amy they should procreate; Koothrappali is reluctant to tell the gang what the new woman he's dating does for a living.

Sheldon gets jealous when a co-worker wins an award; Wolowitz finds an old remote control Stephen Hawking action figure that he made.
