The episode started off with Sheldon and Leonard entered a high IQ sperm bank to donate sperm for some extra money. Sheldon then decided that he didn't want to do it anymore, so they both left.

When they got to the ex-boyfriend's flat, they asked him to give them Penny's TV, but he refused and stole their pants.
