The guys are playing rockband, but their sound hurts Penny’s ears. She comes over and informs them of this. Leonard comes out on the phone. No one knows who he is talking to. Sheldon does a live analysis of the call. He ends the call and tells everyone his mother is coming to visit. It’s another day and Penny finds a woman standing in front of the elevator. The woman then gives an extended analysis. She asks if she is Leonard’s mother. She confirms that she is. Penny tries to ask what Leonard was like when he was a kid. It’s another analysis. Penny tells her she is an actress and her only response is “why?” Then Leonard’s mom turns the conversation into a therapy session. Penny tells Leonard his mother is here while she is in tears.

Leonard and Sheldon went to the hospital to do a brain scan. Penny then tells Leonard about her audition this morning. She didn’t get the part because she was too perky.
