Previously on
The Big Bang Theory...

We conclusively proved super-asymmetry,

and yet somehow we,
we still feel like impostors.

There should be a term for that.

Oh, for crying out loud,
there is a term for that!

It's called "imposter syndrome"
and you don't have it!

Because you can't have it
if you are impostors, and you are!

We're the ones
who discovered super-asymmetry!

So if anyone's gonna feel like
they have imposter syndrome, it's us,

because we're not impostors! They are!

You're impostors and you're frauds!

- Is that what I would've sounded like?
- Yeah.

Yikes!

Sheldon, look at this.

Yeah. Wait a minute,

how do I know this isn't one of those
joke phones

that squirts water in my face?

Because that's not even a thing. Look.

You got called
into Human Resources?

I'm sure it's because I insulted
Pemberton and Campbell

in a room full of Nobel Laureates.

You did do that.

It was awkward,
people didn't know where to look.

This is a twist. Usually you're the one
getting called into HR.

Yeah, now it's Amy.

Who knew you were married
to such a bad girl.

I suppose the signs were always there.

I mean, she did recently go to that rave
at the mall.

- It was a Spencer's Gifts.
- Yeah...

There was music and a strobe light.

If that isn't a rave,
then I don't know what one is.

You don't know what one is.

Guys, come on, I think I'm in trouble.

It's no big deal, I used to get called
into HR all the time.

Ms. Davis is great. Pro tip,
if you find strong women sexy,

do not say it out loud.

Oh! She wants to see me, too.
All right, let's get our story straight.

This is all your fault.

Relax, you're probably just gonna get
a slap on the wrist.

Maybe, but do not ask for that.
On the wrist or anywhere else.

Our whole universe
was in a hot dense state

Then nearly fourteen billion years ago
expansion started...

Wait!

The earth began to cool

The autotrophs began to drool

Neanderthals developed tools

We built a wall
We built the pyramids

Math, science, history
Unraveling the mystery

It all started with the Big Bang!

Bang!

Thank you both for coming.

President Siebert asked
that I be a part of this conversation

to help us calmly discuss
what went wrong

and how we can better move forward.

We are not here to point fingers,

so, Dr. Cooper, please stop that.

President Siebert,
would you like to start?

This is all my fault.

I assumed you knew the Nobel Prize
was good and we wanted to win it.

So that's on me.

Oh. So...

No.

I think what President Siebert
is trying to say

is that this is a setback and we should
adopt a different strategy.

Like, maybe you two
keep your traps shut.

"Traps." That's a fun old word.
Where's that been?

I'm sorry,

I just, I snapped.

Oh, you're sorry,
it's all better, then.

Listen up, you have a shot to win
a Nobel Prize and you're blowing it.

I think what President Siebert
is trying to say is

that you have a shot to win
a Nobel Prize and you're blowing it.

That's exactly what he said.

Yes, but I said it in
my calming HR voice.

The science world is a small community,
people talk.

I'm sure by now everyone knows
about your tantrum.

All right, well, what can we do?

Nothing. Let me make this absolutely
clear for you, you two are done talking.

We're canceling your speaking
engagements and your interviews.

You're going to lie low
and let us do damage control.

Well, if that's what you want,
that's what we'll do.

You two winning the Nobel Prize

is very important to us.
And not just to the university.

Dr. Fowler,
you would be only the fourth woman

to win a Nobel Prize in physics.

I don't need to tell you

just how inspirational that would be
to a generation of young women.

Yes! Of course, I know.

So, the next words out of your mouth
should be on a stage in Stockholm

when you're saying,
"Tack för denna ära,"

which is Swedish for,
"Thank you for this honor."

Jag visste det, which is Swedish for
"I knew that."

Dr. Cooper?

- You want me to shut my trap?
- I do.

Hey, check it out, that looks like
the moped you used to have.

Wasn't a moped. It was a scooter.

How's that better?

You do not wanna walk into a scooter bar
and ask that question.

Well, it does take me back.

Yeah, the two of us cruising around town

looking for women.

Yeah, looking and looking and looking.

Remember that time,
one looked back and said hi?

Ah. Yeah.

We drove away so fast.

Hey, I forget,
why did you sell the scooter?

I finally got my woman.

Then my woman made me sell it.

So apparently if we win,

I'll be the fourth woman
ever to win a Nobel in physics.

Wow. That's a big deal.

Yeah. Tell me about it,

this morning I blew through
my antiperspirant in like an hour.

Plus, Sheldon's freaking out
'cause we got in trouble.

Well, I got him distracted for a while.

Wait, doesn't he know
how to solve those?

Normally, yes, but I switched
the stickers around. So...

I don't even think it's possible to so...

Solved it!

What? No, you didn't.

Not the cube, but the puzzle
of why I couldn't solve the cube.

Solution, you switched stickers two,
nine, 32 and 51.

Really, this thing has numbers?

Anything has a number
if you assign it a number,

friend number four.

Top five, not bad.

Now this is so frustra...

I can't believe the university expects
us to just sit back and do nothing.

Sweetie, you just need to relax.
You know what I like to do?

Numb your brain with alcohol
and watch a reality show

where wealthy people pick fake arguments
with each other?

Hey! Don't knock it until you've wasted
a couple hundred hours of your life.

I'm sorry, but this is...
It's hard for me.

Usually I self-soothe by doing science,

but now science reminds me
of the Nobel Prize

and the idea that we may not win one
and that makes me angry

which makes me wanna self-soothe
by doing science and on and on and on.

So that's been my today.

Hey, how about a massage?

No, the only person who touches me
is my wife.

And even I have to let him
smell my hand first.

Okay, well, what about Reiki?

It's like massage but without touching.

Then what is it?

Well, I place my hands near your body

and allow the universal energy field
to manifest its healing powers.

Yeah, okay, I know it sounds crazy
but it really works, ask Leonard.

- No... it really does.
- Yeah.

Oh. How about
a sensory deprivation tank?

Oh, that's interesting.
It's supposed to be very calming.

Floating in a warm pool of liquid
in a dark, soundless space.

I don't know how I feel
about being deprived of all my senses.

What're you talking about?

All you ever do is complain
about how things smell, feel and sound.

Oh, I'm right here,
why are you shouting?

What do you say?

We could both use a break.
Come on, I'll do it with you.

Okay, but not in the same tank.

I already shared a uterus
with my twin sister,

I don't need to go through that again.

Are your eyes closed?

Yes. What is it? Show me.

Okay, open 'em.

You bought me a scooter?

No. I bought me a scooter.

Then why'd you make me close my eyes?

I wanted to see the expression on
your face when you saw how happy I was.

Wait, one second.

Won't Bernadette be mad
when she finds out?

She's not gonna.
I'm keeping it here at the university.

Ah. My dad kept a secret at work too,

but it was his receptionist.

Hey, would you mind
if I ride it sometimes?

Yeah! Whenever you want.

Check it out.

That there, son,
is twelve horses of Eye-talian thunder.

Have either of you done
sensory deprivation before?

- Never.
- No.

Okay. Just a heads up,
people have different experiences

in the tanks.

Some people experience perfect calm.

Some people sleep,

some people even reported
having visions.

But if at any time
you feel uncomfortable,

just press the panic button and say,
"Bebe."

That's a stupid word.

That's my name.

What do we push
if we feel uncomfortable?

All right, are you ready?

I'm not saying this is why we came,

but can I close the lid on him?

No.

No.

Shall we?

I... One second.

Is the pH between 7.2 and 7.8?

Yes.

Is the water drained
and replaced after each use?

Yes.

- Is the saline level 30%?
- Yes.

Does your filtration system use
ultraviolet light to kill bacteria?

Yes.

I don't need to get in,
I'm relaxed already.

Bebe.

What's wrong?

Nothing I just wanted to make sure
it worked.

Also, I changed my mind,
it's fun to say your name.

Bebe. Bebe. Bebe. Bebe. Bebe. Bebe.

Hey, whatcha got there?

Oh.

I... Just tossin' out this

old helmet I don't need.

I thought you were at the park.

We were. The kids got sleepy.

Great story.
I need to make a phone call.

Howard, why do you look all guilty

like when I catch you
deleting your browser history?

Never mind.

Hmm.

This is nice.

Sort of like floating in space,

but better because
my eyeballs haven't frozen.

Ooh. Colors!

It's infinite iterations of

the "Nautilus" section
of the Mandelbrot set.

That's some good stuff.

Wow, this is really dark.

There's no difference
between my eyes being open or closed.

Open. Closed.

Open. Clo...
Nope, same thing.

Ooh. Pretty!

You winning a Nobel Prize would
be an inspiration to all women.

All women, Amy. And you're blowing it.

I was gonna be a scientist,
but since you lost,

I'm just gonna give
make-up tutorials on YouTube.

Look at all the infinite
Mandelbrot sets.

Here a brot, there a brot,
everywhere a Mandelbrot!

Thanks for letting us down.

I'm gonna marry a dope
and have his dopey children.

You're such a disappointment.

I can't do science.

Way to not go, girl.

Disappointing.

Math is too hard.

I am woman, hear me bake.

- Disappointing.
- You're letting us down.

- Disappointing.
- You're blowing it.

- Thanks for nothing.
- Disappointing. You're blowing it.

You let me down.

Mmm. Mmm-mmm.

Okay, hour's up.
Let's see how they're doing.

Hey, buddy, how ya feelin'?

Aww!

Five more minutes?

Hey, Amy.

Relaxed?

I'm a failure!
I can't do this!

Can somebody close her lid?
She's kind of harshing my mellow.

That tank was amazing.

Yeah, it was like Disneyland

but the rides were
in 35 dimensions,

and instead of Mickey,
I had my picture taken

with the concept
that time is an illusion.

That's great.
I'm so happy for you.

Yeah, a little constructive criticism,

you're saying you're happy
but you're using your mean voice.

Thanks for pointing that out.

Now you got it.

Sheldon, I'm freaking out.

Well, is this still about
the Nobel Prize?

Yes,
it's about the Nobel Prize.

And back to the mean voice.

It's just... It's too much pressure.

You know, it was bad enough
when I was letting us down.

But now if I don't win, it's like
I'm letting all women down!

Hang on.

What...
What're you doing?

I'm googling what to do
when someone's freaking out.

Huh. Oh, oh.

It says here that a walk can be calming.

Bye.

Hey.

You still mad?

Are you still a jackass?

Now, now, I asked you first.

I can't believe you were sneaking around
my back like a child!

I just didn't want you to worry.

No, you just didn't wanna get caught.

I'm sorry, but you telling me
what I can and can't do

is pretty damn emasculating!

Emasculating?

You were about to ride bitch on a moped
with another man!

It's a scooter.

It can go on some highways.

What if you fell?

What if you got hurt?

I don't wanna raise two small children
and one large vegetable!

I'm sorry, but I need to have something
in my life that reminds me

I'm still a man.

You do! You have a wife,
and two children who need their father!

I know that.

Well, you don't act like it.

Why do you wanna ride
that stupid thing anyway?

I don't know.

Maybe I just miss the freedom I had
as a younger man.

What freedom? You lived
with your mother.

You had a curfew!

Wasn't a curfew.

It was just a time of night
where if I got home after that,

she would be mad.

You know what, I'm done talking
about this.

- Do whatever you want.
- Yeah, I will.

I just want you to ask yourself
if that tiny, ridiculous scooter

is the hill you wanna die on.

Oh, yeah, this feels good.

Born to ride, buddy.

Yeah, watch out, ladies.

All right, well, wish me luck.

You won't need luck.

Yeah, only condoms.

He sees that car, right?

I tried to console her,
but nothing seemed to work.

Okay, when you say you consoled her,

what exactly does that mean?

I took a walk, I came back,

she was still upset, so I came here.

Well, I don't see
what else you could've done.

You know, I know she's unhappy
but I don't know how to help.

Maybe you can't.

Sometimes people are upset
and all you can do is be there for them.

And while I'm there, what do I do?

Nothing.

Oh. So like what you're doing right now
to help me.

You're up.

Sheldon, maybe you don't know what to do
because Amy's always taking care of you.

Of course.

And by calming down I've taken away
the one thing that gives her comfort,

caring for me.

That's what you heard?

Yes.

Yeah, I need to have
an emotional meltdown

so she's forced to focus on me
and forget about herself.

No. That's not even close to what...

You know, actually, that might
be your best move. Yeah.

Amy, thank goodness you're home.

I don't know if you can tell
but I am literally losing my mind.

You are?

Isn't it obvious?
I just used "literally" figuratively.

Like a crazy person.

What is going on with you? Are you okay?

No, I'm not okay, so I suggest

you start focusing on me
to the exclusion of your own feelings.

Sheldon, whatever you're doing,
I don't have time for it right now.

I'm sorry, I know you're upset,
but I don't know how to make it better.

I don't know how you can, either.

I don't know if anybody can. I just...

I feel like I'm letting everybody down.

I'm about to hold you,
would you like to smell my hand first?

I'm fine.

Thank you.

Soft kitty, warm kitty
Little ball of fur

Happy kitty, sleepy kitty
Purr, purr, purr

That helps.

- Shh. I'm singing.
- Oh.

Soft kitty, warm kitty
Little ball of fur...

Raj said you got $800.

Jerk.

On a positive note,
the scooter helped Bert meet a girl.

Oh. That's nice. What does she do?

She's an ER nurse.

- No.
- No.

It was a real meet-cute.

She popped his arm back in the socket.

And when he came to, they exchanged
phone numbers.

Aww.

Ms. Davis?

Dr. Fowler, how can I help you?

You were right about this Nobel Prize
being bigger than I am.

And you were right that, like it or not,
I am a role model.

But you are wrong to keep me
on the sidelines.

I am smart, I am capable
and I can make a difference.

Well said. You make a strong case.

Damn right, 'cause I'm a strong woman
wearing a strong man's deodorant.

Well, how about have a seat?

Maybe you'd like a glass of water?

Do you have anything
with a little more kick?

Seriously, Dr. Fowler,
this is Human Resources.

You're right, I don't know
what I was thinking.

You want ice, you're outta luck.
