Leonard打电话努力想推迟某事，大家都竖起耳朵听并且判断着。Sheldon认为Leonard很抗拒，一定是某种令人不快的侵入性检查，比如结肠镜检查。结果答案揭晓——Leonard老妈Beverly要来了。
Beverly是一个资深精神分析学家，初来乍到就在与Penny一起上楼的过程中把Penny说哭了，进屋后与Sheldon相见恨晚，对对方欣赏得不得了。
到大学参观，餐厅里Howard对Leonard老妈热情招呼同时贬损Leonard，Raj也跟着起哄，Leonard反唇相讥，把他和Raj的弱点暴露给Beverly，Beverly三言两语就把俩可怜的弱鸡说得目瞪口呆，怀疑人生。
备受打击的Leonard来到Penny处借酒消愁，两个Beverly精神分析的受害者相依为命，玩起了斗酒游戏，玩到上床。可是多嘴的Leonard又提起什么童年阴影，被生气的Penny赶出了门。
Leonard回到家发现老妈和Sheldon正在疯狂地唱卡拉ok，什么世道。
Beverly终于要走了，在门前遇到要上班的Penny，下楼过程又把Penny说哭了，Penny抹着眼泪回忆当初自己老妈多差，Beverly面不改色地建议她坐飞机去自己那里做脑扫描再进一步深谈，Penny眼泪汪汪问有帮助吗？Beverly冷冷地说“对我有帮助”。
