Sheldon邀请霍金玩填字游戏，对方接受了，他认为这是官方认可成为朋友了。他和霍金玩得很开心，把对方虐得佷狠，可是对方不玩了。
Bernadette说起洗澡出来拿了个类似浴巾的东西擦身，结果发现那是Howard老妈的内裤……只好重洗一次，重洗也洗不掉内心的创伤。Penny被大家发现在看历史书，原来她偷偷在社区大学上课，还瞒着Leonard。她终于告诉Leonard，自己第二天要提交论文，Leonard忍不住强迫症要看她论文，半夜起来偷看发现写得不好，想帮忙改又不敢。
两个人都很苦恼，Leonard和Sheldon自说自话了半天，决定拿出赛棋钟，轮流吐槽并安慰，结果Sheldon完全不安慰对方只顾着说自己的烦恼。
Leonard鼓起勇气把自己帮忙写的论文交给Penny，被Penny拒绝了，而且还很生气地叫嚣着让他别管。
Sheldon得到霍金的再次垂青后，不敢再赢他了。
Penny拿着自称自己写的论文得了B-来羞辱Leonard，十分得意。回头就告诉Bernadette和Amy，要继续努力，帮她写出好论文，争取得A。
Sheldon接到了霍金的电话，霍金赢了他很高兴，但也狠狠地讥笑了他，说他和黑洞有共同点——都很烂（黑洞吸收物质）。
