Back home, Sheldon successfully runs a primitive physics simulation. But at 2 AM, the computer overheats and dies. Sheldon’s heartbroken realization: “I killed it with science.” George Sr. helps him carry it back, and Sheldon learns a lesson about respecting equipment that isn’t his. Meanwhile, George Sr. is coaching the high school football team, and they’ve lost five straight games. In a moment of desperation, he buys a cheap plastic rodeo pony from a garage sale, thinking it could be a fun “spirit booster” for practice. The team mocks him mercilessly. One player, Billy Sparks (yes, that Billy), actually loves it and rides it around the field.

Undeterred, Sheldon enlists Missy to help him “acquire” the computer after hours. Missy agrees on one condition: he must teach her how to cheat at Minesweeper . Their late-night heist is foiled when the janitor, Carl, is still there—playing solitaire. Sheldon ends up giving Carl an unsolicited lecture on algorithmic efficiency, and Carl lets them borrow the computer for one night in exchange for Sheldon fixing his VCR clock.
