霍金要来大学发表演讲，Howard有幸为他的轮椅做维护，本想帮Sheldon争取个见面机会的，然而Sheldon又一次当面表达对Howard智商和理解能力的鄙视（就因为他没读博士），Howard一怒之下断绝了帮他的想法。
得知Howard手握霍金见面机会，Sheldon对Howard反复道歉，奴颜婢膝，只为Howard把他的论文给霍金看看。
Howard这下可来劲了，首先他让Sheldon把自己的一箱子皮带扣全都擦亮（其中一些还有尿迹），接着是让Sheldon穿着一套法国女仆装在大学餐厅招摇过市……
Bernadette得知后于心不忍，让他住手，然而听到Howard老妈重申要自己陪她逛街，于是机智的她把Sheldon推到了前台，让Sheldon去陪逛街……
陪逛街的Sheldon被Howard老妈叫到试衣间帮手，还被抱了一把……
历经这一切之后，Howard只想让Sheldon真心称赞自己一句，Sheldon却只说你的工作做得很好，但你的工作没意义。不过Howard没计较，说论文已经给了，霍金愿意见他。
霍金见他后，指出他的论文第二页有个运算错误，Sheldon先是不承认，发现之后当场晕倒了……

It's no big deal. 举手之劳呀
