The Big Bang Theory season 3 episode 2 is titled "The Jiminy Conjecture." In this episode, Sheldon and Howard are tasked with a challenge from former colleague and current enemy, Dr. Eric Gablehauser. The challenge? A game of cricket. Despite both Sheldon and Howard initially dismissing the game as "boring," their competitive natures ultimately drive them to jump at the chance to prove their worth in the sport.
While Sheldon and Howard prepare for the game, Leonard and Raj take on a project of their own - sabotaging Sheldon's time-sensitive research to make room for their own projects. This leads to some tension between the group, especially when Sheldon discovers what's been done to his work.
Meanwhile, Penny is dealing with relationship drama as her new boyfriend Zach continues to clash with Leonard. Despite his attempts to be nice and make amends, Zach just can't seem to fit in with the group - much to Penny's annoyance.
As the episode progresses, tensions come to a head both on and off the cricket field. Will Sheldon and Howard be able to best Gablehauser and his team? Will Leonard and Raj come clean about their sabotage? And will Penny be forced to choose between her new relationship and her old friendships? All this and more in "The Jiminy Conjecture."
