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?

Sheldon tries to make peace when Leonard and Penny get into an argument.

Leonard is pleasantly surprised when Beverly comes to visit, and she's genuinely kind to him, until he finds out the real reason she's there; Denise and Stuart overstay their welcome at the Wolowitz house.

Penny is forced to rely on Sheldon when she is injured while Howard, Leonard and Raj are away.

Sheldon, Wolowitz and Koothrappali post an ad online to find a new girlfriend for Sheldon; Penny and Bernadette decide to spy when Amy is secretive about who she is dating.
