Plot
[edit]The episode opens with Sheldon, Leonard, Howard, and Raj going out for Chinese food. Sheldon complains about the changes of the menu, mostly on the "Mobster sauce". Which everyone informs Sheldon that it is a type-o, which Sheldon calls nonsense. When Sheldon and Leonard return home they see their door has been damaged. After they enter, they see their TV and laptops are gone. Sheldon frightfully says "Oh my God!" numerous times and runs to his room. Leonard begins to call the police when Sheldon returns and assures Leonard that the robbers didn't take his comic books.
The police arrive and ask Leonard and Sheldon what items were taken. Sheldon names numerous gaming systems and video games. The questioning officer simply writes down "assorted video games". Sheldon then asks when the CSI team will arrive and takes a soda can that the robbers drank out of and gives to the officer. He also gives him his finger prints to rule him out as a suspect. Leonard asks why his fingerprints aren't being submitted, which Sheldon replies that he can't rule out an inside job. The police clear out, and Leonard and Sheldon sit on their couch. Leonard wonders out loud what they should do. Sheldon answers that they watch television on their phones until the robbers return to kill them.
That night, Sheldon cannot sleep and goes over to Penny's apartment. In her apartment, Penny and Leonard discuss the break-in, at one point she pulls out a bat and says "I would've gone all Nebraska on their asses." Sheldon enters and reveals that he is afraid to be alone. The three return to Sheldon and Leonard's apartment and play Pictonary. Penny begs that she and Leonard need to sleep. Sheldon agrees and decides to take turns standing guard. He give Leonard and Penny until 4:00 AM to sleep, which is only forty-five minutes. Sheldon watches a horror movie on his phone. After watching a gory murder, Sheldon turns his phone off and walks to Leonard's room and knocks frantically for Leonard and Penny. Which Leonard joyfully asks "Who is it?".
The next day Howard and Raj set up a state of the art security system, which Howard stole, ironically, from a security team. Sheldon is skeptical of the system and comes up with ridiculous scenarios. Howard assures the system will work. At that moment Penny walks in and a net falls on her. Sheldon once again shows doubt, until Howard tells him that the net will be electrically charged. Sheldon approves of the security system.
That night, Sheldon, once again, cannot sleep. He hears a noise and moves his dresser in front of the door. Sheldon then tries to go to sleep, but has to pee. Unable to move the dresser in time, Sheldon climbs out his window. He crawls on a ledge of the building to Leonard's room, where he and Penny are beginning to have sex. Sheldon knocks on the window and Leonard and Penny, nervously, open the window. Sheldon climbs in and tells the two he heard a noise. Which Penny reveals they knocked over a lamp, which caused the noise. Sheldon then leaves the room to have a drink. Penny and Leonard begin to pick up where they left off, until they hear Sheldon scream. They run out to the living room, where Sheldon is pinned on the floor by the electric net. He states he is alright and that he is no longer the master of his bladder.
The next day, Sheldon is looking for a new city to live in. After crossing out two towns, he asks if Penny she grew up in Nebraska, when Penny answers yes, he crosses out the entire state. Sheldon is then seen packing his bag and he tells Leonard that he will send directions and diagrams on how to pack his belongings and send them to him in Bozeman, Montana. When Penny begins to say goodbye, Sheldon cuts her off and tells his friends to watch a video he prepared. The video shows Sheldon saying goodbye to his three friends and his close acquaintance.
After he arrives in Bozeman, Sheldon is offered some help from a stranger, which he happily agrees to. The stranger runs off with Sheldon's bag. After briefly chasing the thief, Sheldon returns to the station and asks for a ticket to Pasadena. When Sheldon returns, Howard acknowledges Sheldon's return. Sheldon simply states that it's interesting that the acquaintance greeted him first.
