Synopsis: Sheldon and Leonard are eating lunch. Sheldon goes on a rant about digital transporters. Dr. Gablehouser walks over to their table with a young student. He is shopping schools for his doctoral. Sheldon is clearly a bit jealous. Gablehouser wants the two of them to show Dennis around. He brags that the school is the best for physics. However, Dennis disagrees and starts listing reasons why they are not the best. He then insults Sheldon’s work in physics. Leonard finds it funny. The two give him a tour. When they get to Sheldon’s office he goes in and asks them to leave. However, the two follow him in. Dennis looks at his board and tells him his math is wrong. Sheldon is now visibly angry. He finally gets him to leave and Dennis notices an award on the wall. He manages to turn it into an insult. At the apartment, everyone is eating. Penny tries talking to Raj, but it’s still a no go so she gives him a hug. Sheldon, however, is sitting on the couch pouting and wallowing in self-pity. Leonard reminds him that someone always comes along who is better. Penny tries to comfort him and he just insults her. She is not happy with him. Sheldon decides to give up. Later that night, Sheldon comes out of his room and tells Leonard he is not giving up after all. Now, he plans to work with Sheldon. He then starts picking apart what Leonard is working on. Leonard gets upset and tells him to go away. In Howard’s lab, he calls his mother upset that she left the ding dong out of his lunch. Sheldon arrives and he promptly hangs up. Sheldon asks Howard what he is working on. He’s building a sensor apparatus. Sheldon points out its just a shelf and Howard kicks him out. Next, he goes to Raj’s office. He kicks him out too. The three meet back at the apartment without Sheldon. He insulted Raj by designing software that replaces him. Suddenly, dealing with the teenager smarter than Sheldon becomes the goal.

One of them has to talk to one of them. But no one has the guts. Gablehouser makes a speech about Dennis. But his speech causes another melt down for Sheldon.
