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?

A wealthy donor makes Leonard question what he is willing to do for science.

Wolowitz considers taking things with Bernadette to the next level; Leonard and Raj's sister rekindle their relationship.

Leonard decides to run against Sheldon for president of the tenants' association; Bernadette encourages Wolowitz and Koothrappali to find the owner of a drone after they find it in the backyard.

Sheldon creates a monster when he introduces Penny to online gaming.
