漫画书店里Howard很高兴地宣布请客，因为他设计的太空马桶将用于国际空间站。Stuart过来找Leonard征求意见，因为他要跟Penny再次约会。Leonard很不是滋味，没说什么。过后也不接他电话。但执着的Stuart跑到门口要意见，Leonard就故意建议他慢慢来，矜持一点，希望他像自己一样失败。
Howard发现马桶的某个零件有问题，最多冲10次就会坏，召集大家一起想办法解决再通报NASA。Leonard根本无心解决，因为Raj嘲笑他做坏事要遭报应。
第二天一早他跑去问Penny进展，结果Penny不想谈，让他别管。他罪恶感更强了，跑去漫画书店，Stuart告诉他他的建议没问题，很快就亲热了，但是Penny喊出了Leonard的名字，一切都变糟了……闻听此言，Leonard高兴坏了，出门就开始蹦跳欢呼。
Howard修马桶时十分注意保密，中途还拿了他妈做的肉饼来模拟便便做实验，结果那肉饼直冲天花板并挂在那里，在某天他们吃饭时突然掉了下来。
