Sheldon sulks in his room, holding Fish’s bowl. He tells Fish that the world is illogical. Mary comes in and sits on his bed. She doesn’t try to cheer him up with platitudes. Instead, she says, "You know what I think? I think you’re sad because you wanted to win for you. And Missy wanted to win to help someone else. There’s nothing wrong with wanting to win. But there’s something special about wanting to help."

Sheldon considers this. Then he quietly goes to Missy’s room and hands her his half of the $200 savings bond (which their parents insisted they share). Missy looks surprised. Sheldon says, "You earned it. Your project had practical application and emotional resonance. Mine was mathematically superior but lacked human impact. I’ve adjusted my hypothesis." She doesn’t try to cheer him up with platitudes
At home, Mary tries to mediate between the twins. George is distracted by the family’s actual dog, a lazy beagle who refuses to learn any tricks. George tries to train the dog, fails miserably, and ends up yelling at it to "stay" — the dog leaves the room.
Missy smiles and says, "You’re still a weirdo."
