Scientific American magazine reported the papers of Sheldon and Leonard. The main concept of the paper was put forward by Leonard, but the report did not mention Leonard. Amy told Sheldon not to provoke Leonard, lest Leonard get angry. Sheldon thinks there's nothing to be angry about. Amy used other examples to make Sheldon think differently, and Sheldon realized the seriousness of the matter.

Leonard was very angry when he saw Sheldon and his team members in the magazine. It was obvious that Sheldon was the creator, but Sheldon stole the show. It happened that Sheldon couldn't comfort people, so he choked up. Leonard complained about it to his girlfriend Penny, who had to divert his attention by buying a remote-controlled plane online.

Howard has been depressed since his mother died. Bernadette tried to comfort him. According to his idea, Raj is as dumb as ever, and he often accidentally steps on Howard's thunder spot. When Howard was packing up his mother's belongings, it suddenly occurred to him that he could never talk to his mother again. He almost cried sadly.

Howard took Bernadette and Raj back to his mother's house. Stuart told them the power went out. Hearing his words, Howard excitedly rushed to the kitchen to open the refrigerator. He found that all the food cooked by his mother had thawed. Bernadette asked him why he didn't take the food back to their house and freeze it again. Raj explained that thawing and freezing food would affect the taste.

Howard decided to eat all the food in the refrigerator. Bernadette saw twenty pounds of food in the refrigerator. She suggested inviting her friends to dinner. Howard accepted her proposal and invited Sheldon and others over for dinner. Amy drove Sheldon, Penny drove Leonard, and the two girlfriends kept cleaning up all the way, but there was no sign of improvement.

Sheldon and Leonard are still stiff because of the magazine report. They taunted each other at the dinner table and Bernadette called them out to criticize them severely. After dinner, everyone was speechless and could not move. Sheldon told Leonard that his name was reported in the latest issue of Scientific American, and Leonard laughed it off.
