Previously on
The Big Bang Theory...

Sheldon, did you just

figure out a method for synthesizing
a new stable super-heavy element?

Did I?!

Well, that can't be right.

No one's ever done that before.
Except me because I just did it!

♪ Sheldon and his brain, yeah

♪ Sheldon and his brain, yeah! ♪

I've made a horrible mistake.

What are you talking about?

This table,

it's in square centimeters I
read it as square meters.

You know what that means?

That Americans can't handle
the metric system?

Amy, I was off by a
factor of 10,000.

But the Chinese team
found the element.

Yeah, well, they shouldn't have.
My calculations were wrong.

The greatest scientific achievement
of my life is based on a blunder.

I'm not a genius.

I'm a fraud.

You know, Sheldon,
in neuroscience,

we're forever finding something
in one part of the brain

that we thought was
someplace else.

Oh, great, now I'm
worse than a fraud.

I'm practically a biologist.

This is Science Friday.
I'm Ira Flatow.

My guest today is responsible
for the discovery of the first

stable super-heavy element.

Welcome, Dr. Sheldon Cooper.

Thank you.

Uh, the university made me come here.
I didn't want to.

Uh, big fan of the show.

So, I understand that you actually
discovered this element by mistake.

Yes.

And some people in the science community
are calling it "The Wonder Blunder."

Who? Give me their names.

I bet it's Wolowitz.

It's just such a fascinating story.
Your calculations are way off,

but they find
the element anyway.

It's like misreading a treasure map
and still finding the treasure.

Can we talk
about something else?

Do you know that I yodel?

That's interesting, but this could
be taking you down the path

toward a Nobel Prize.

And in chemistry, no less.

And wouldn't that be unusual?
Because you're a physicist.

Yes, yes, I'd be a physicist
with a Nobel in chemistry.

Everyone laugh at
the circus freak.

You know, I don't need to sit
here and take this, Flatow.

It is because of bullies
like you,

every day more and more Americans are
making the switch to television.

President Seibert, I don't
know why you're yelling.

You're the one who made
me go on the radio.

I was expecting a professional
science interview,

not an attack by some
morning zoo shock jock.

Well, if the university
needs money so badly,

perhaps you should
start a swear jar.

Whoa! That one's worth a dollar.

I know you don't like it, but
every time you do an interview,

it raises the profile
of the university.

That translates to funding.

Yeah, well, I'm not just some
trained monkey dancing for coins.

Of course you're not. People
love trained monkeys.

How can you not be happy?
You're tall, thin and famous.

Oh, my God, I'm
jealous of Sheldon.

Look, you're gonna be doing
this stuff for a while.

You're just gonna have to find
a way to get used to it.

But none of you know
what this is like.

Being celebrated for something
you wish you never did.

Mmm... you clearly haven't
been with me at Mardi Gras.

Want to pause the video game
and help me clean up?

I am cleaning up. Look at the mess
the Joker made of Gotham City.

Come on, it's your friend
who's coming to stay here.

Raj grew up in India. Trust
me, he's seen worse.

Howie.

I promise I'll help out
the rest of the week.

The rest of the week? You said it
was just gonna be a night or two.

Yeah, but if I told you a week,
would you have said yes?

- No!
- Then you left me no choice.

I love Raj, but that's a
long time for a house guest.

I know, but they're
tenting his building.

He can't find a hotel
he likes that allows dogs.

- He's bringing Cinnamon?
- For a whole week!

The nerve of some people.

Here comes the
Embarrassment Express.

With stops at Fraudville...

WonderBlunderberg...

and Kansas City.

Because it's a hub.

Sheldon, can I come in?

- Do you have cookies?
- No.

Good. I don't deserve cookies.
Come in.

- Wil...?
- Hey, Sheldon.

It's been a while.

Why are you here?

Amy said you were having a rough time,
and I thought maybe we could talk.

Is that okay?

Certainly.

Although... right now,
I'm having a rough time

because there's three
people in my room,

and it's starting to feel
like a discotheque.

Sheldon, you said you were
unhappy getting attention

for something you wished
you never did.

Yeah, I know a little
something about that.

Oh, nonsense, Wil.

Your endless tweets
are not that bad.

I remember why
it's been a while.

Sheldon, I was actually talking about
when I was a kid on Star Trek.

How could you not like getting
attention for playing Wesley Crusher?

You were wonderful.

A know-it-all boy genius
with an eidetic memory.

Who couldn't relate to that?

Well, not everybody
felt that way.

A lot of people really hated the character,
and some of them hated me because of it.

I would do interviews, and
people would be mean to me.

That just happened to me.

Next time you're stuck
for a tweet,

feel free to say what
a jerk Ira Flatow is.

Sheldon, the point is
Wil learned to embrace

that part of his life and moved
on to bigger and better things.

Yeah, I'm an author now,
I do public speaking,

and I have my own Web series
about board games.

Uh...

We're trying
to cheer him up, so...

I'm just saying
that there was a time

when I thought I would never get
out of Wesley Crusher's shadow.

But now, it's just one small
part of a pretty great life,

and it's a part that
I'm happy is there.

I do see what you're saying.

That helps.

Good.

Would you two like to stay
and play trains with me?

- Sure.
- Okay.

Oh, great!

Now...

I work the controls.

I say "All aboard"

You sit quietly and watch.

Can I blow the whistle?

You should probably go.

You're gonna brush
your teeth on my couch?

No, I'm gonna brush
Cinnamon's teeth.

Why bother? She spends half
the time licking her butt.

And the other half licking my face.
That's why I'm brushing her teeth.

Hey, guys.
Sorry I'm so late.

- Did you already have dinner?
- No, we were waiting for you.

Aw, that's so sweet.

Yeah. So what do you
feel like making?

Howard, the poor thing
just got home from work.

Let me get you a glass of wine.
I'll cook dinner.

- Oh, Raj, you're our guest.
- Don't be silly.

Sit. You look like
you've had a long day.

No, she always looks like that.

Because she married an idiot.

Thank you, Raj.

Please, this is my way of thanking
you for letting me stay here.

Now, tell us all about your day.

Okay, um, well, first, I was late to a
meeting 'cause I was stuck in traffic.

Well, I keep telling you to put
that traffic app on your phone.

Hey, when you got home today
complaining that you felt sick

from eating too many jelly beans,
did I tell you how to fix it?

No.

I said, "Aw, that must hurt,"
and I rubbed your belly.

I thought of you the whole time.

All I'm saying is there's
a time to just listen.

- Thank you. - There's also a time to
stop eating too many jelly beans.

And it's when you're ten.

Hello, President Siebert.
Thank you for taking my call.

I just wanted you to know
that you can now expect

enthusiastic participation from
me regarding my discovery.

Oh, no, no, no, no.
No need to thank me.

Thank my friend, Wil Wheaton.

For your information, I
have nine friends, hmm?

Ten if we include you.

Nine it is.

Ah, it's ten. I'll
count Wolowitz.

Hello, friend Leonard.

- Hey, you're in a good mood.
- I'm in a great mood.

Well, you're about to be
in an even better one.

I didn't want to say anything
until I knew for sure, but...

I've been re-running the tests
on your element in my lab

and I disproved it. Your
element does not exist!

Yeah, but what about the Chinese
research team? They found it.

Yeah, it turns out someone added
simulated signals to the data files.

They faked the results.

- Really?
- Yes!

Do you know what that means? That means all
of this attention that you hate goes away.

- So no more interviews?
- No, it's all over.

- I can't believe it.
- Well, you're welcome.

You robbed me of my
greatest achievement!

- What?!
- I'm back down to nine friends!

Make it eight-- I'm
sick of Wolowitz, too!

I-I don't understand.

All you've done since you discovered
this stupid element was complain.

I was trying to make you happy!

By taking away my
only claim to fame?

Well, if you wanted to make me happy,
you could have told me a joke.

Or shown me a cute video of a koala and
an otter becoming unlikely friends.

Oh, there is no
winning with you.

And koalas and otters don't
even live near each other!

That's what makes
their friendship unlikely!

Hey! What's with
all the yelling?

Leonard disproved my element.

Now all the attention
is going to go away.

Oh, that's great.
You must be thrilled!

That's it! I'm down
to seven friends.

He's counting hobbits
and superheroes, right?

When I thought the element
was real, I didn't want it.

But now that Leonard
made it not exist,

I want it more than
anything in the world.

The-the element never existed. I didn't
take it away, science took it away.

Be mad at science.

Don't you dare use
science against me.

Science is my best friend!

Oh, good, I'm back up to eight.

Will you tell him
he's out of his mind.

- Actually, I get what he's saying.
- Oh, yes! Nine!

Welcome back, buddy.

It's like if you're dating
someone you're not that into,

and then they break up with you and
then you want them more than ever.

I have no idea what
she's talking about.

But we're ganged up
on you so I agree.

Okay, Sheldon, what do you want
me to do, hide the information?

If I don't publish it, it's just a
matter of time before someone else does.

No, no, of course
you have to publish.

That's your responsibility
as a scientist.

Doing otherwise would be unethical.
You have no choice.

- Fine, I'll publish.
- Can you believe this guy?

Aw! Raj did the dishes.

How do you know
I didn't do them?

Because once, when all the knives were
dirty, you cut a bagel with your keys.

Good morning, everybody.

I picked up coffee
while I was out.

Bernadette, here's your
soy peppermint mocha.

Aw, you didn't have to do that.

Oh, my pleasure, and don't worry
about your presentation today.

You're gonna be great.

Yeah, you're gonna
knock it out of the park.

What presentation
do I have today?

Just go.

He loves you.

What are you doing? Are you
trying to make me look bad?

- I'm just being a good house guest. - No,
you're being a better husband than I am.

Doing the dishes, getting coffee,
knowing about her life--

who does that?

Oh, come on, I brought
you one, too.

I don't want coffee.

- That's why I got you hot chocolate.
- Give me that.

Just stop showing me up.

Howard, listen to me.

You're a great husband.

Yes, your listening skills
could use some work.

But it's amazing how far
you've come given that you're

an only child raised by
an over-protective mom.

- Um, is this getting weird?
- Hang on.

So, yes.

Hey. I just wanted to let you
know that I-I posted my findings.

I saw.

And I just posted a
retraction of my paper.

Now the whole scientific
community knows I was wrong.

These things happen
all the time, Sheldon.

Not to me.

The only other retraction I ever
had to issue was when I was seven

and I conceded that my brother was
the greatest ninja in East Texas.

But that was just a ploy to get
my face out of his armpit.

There he is!

It's my favorite
superhero-- the Retractor!

Come on, don't give
him a hard time.

I'm sorry, Cooper. I retract it.

By the way, Hofstadter, nice job
disproving the Chinese team.

- It's not a big deal.
- It's a huge deal.

Cooper, maybe physics
just isn't your thing.

Have you ever considered
a career in retail?

That way you could take
things back for a living.

- Okay, Barry, that's enough.
- Oh, no, that's okay.

I can fight my own battles.
Isn't that right, "Bawwy."

Is...?

Is that a reference to
my speech impediment?

That's pretty hurtful.

I...

I can't control it.

You're right, That
was uncalled for.

I take it back.

Of course you do. Because
you're the Retractor!

Raj, this dinner was amazing.

If you're here much longer, I'm
gonna have to buy bigger clothes.

Nonsense. You need a little fattening up.
You've been looking too skinny lately.

Aw.

Howie, how come you never
say anything sweet like that?

What are you talking about?

Remember last week, when I asked you if
you were wearing Spanx and you weren't?

How's that different?

Maybe you could try being more
thoughtful, like your friend Raj.

Yeah, well, maybe you could
try being more like Raj.

- Oh, really?
- Yeah, yeah.

He packed me
a lunch this morning.

And there was a note inside
that said, "Go get 'em".

Like I don't do enough around here.
Now I need to pack your lunch?

And by the way, why do you
need a note telling you

to "go get 'em"? You're a grown man!
You should know to "go get 'em"!

I do know to "go get 'em"

but sometimes it's nice to have emotional
support when I'm going and getting them!

Hey, hey, do you
hear yourselves?

Let's just, you know, all calm
down and take a step back.

- This is stupid. Why are we fighting?
- I don't know.

I guess I was just feeling
like I'm a lousy husband.

You're not a lousy husband.
You're a great husband.

I was the one feeling
like a lousy wife.

Are you kidding?
You're the best.

I know what the problem is.
It's him!

Oh, what did I do?

You made us feel like we're
not trying hard enough.

Yeah, we were totally fine half-assing
our marriage till you showed up.

Look, I'm sorry
you're upset with me,

but I just have to say it's nice to
see the two of you on the same page.

Oh, it does feel good to have
you backing me up for once.

- I back you up all the time!
- That is not...

- He's doing it again!
- What is wrong with you?!

I can't believe
they kicked you out.

I can't believe they're
still married.

Oh, no, I forgot Cinnamon's
toothbrush at Howard's.

I guess you're sharing
with Daddy again.

Bark once if you need
me to call PETA.

What's that animal doing
in our apartment?

Oh, relax, she's in her crate.
She can't get out.

I have two words for you:

Jurassic Park.

This day just keeps
getting worse and worse.

- You know, if it makes you feel
any better... - It probably won't.

You're probably right.

Sheldon, it's a beautiful night.

Why don't you and I go for
a nice walk together?

Oh, everything is just
sex with you isn't it?

Sheldon, I think you might find
the support you're looking for,

if you realize that relationships
are a give and take.

She can only be there for you
as much as you are for her.

Thank you, Rajesh.

And, Amy, you need to be
patient with Sheldon,

instead of pressuring him to
accept intimacy on your terms.

You should probably go.

I'm Ira Flatow, and
this is Science Friday.

I'd like to welcome back
Dr. Sheldon Cooper,

who thought he had discovered
a new super-heavy element

only to have it disproved by my
next guest, Dr. Leonard Hofstadter.

Welcome to Science Friday,
gentlemen.

- Thanks.
- Thank you.

Ira, if I may, I'd like to apologize
for my behavior last week.

It's all right.

Now, isn't there something
you'd like to say to me?

No.

Now, Dr. Hofstadter.

Can you walk us through the process
you used to disprove his theory?

- Well...
- I believe I can answer that.

He asked me.

Fine.

- As I was saying...
- You're telling it wrong. Ira...

to really understand the story here, you
have to start at the very beginning:

A small town in East Texas,

- where a young genius named...
- Sheldon...

That's right, Sheldon Cooper.

He was bitten by his
neighbor's dog,

leading to his first
scientific breakthrough--

the doggie death-ray.

Which, sadly, he couldn't build because
Santa wouldn't bring him enriched uranium.

I mean, I'd really like to hear it from
Dr. Hofstadter, if it's okay with you.

What a surprise.

Did-did you invite me back
just so you could ignore me?

Actually, I didn't invite you.
You came in, you took a seat,

and I'm not comfortable
with confrontation.

Sheldon, this interview is
supposed to be about me.

Well, that seems like a snooze.
Even for public radio.

You know, if we did a shot every time
they said something embarrassing,

this would be one hell
of a drinking game.

A little early for
alcohol, isn't it?

You know, I don't just say smart
things about science. I also yodel.

I'll get the vodka.
