Ep 15. The Comic Book Store Regeneration

After a fire destroys Stuart's comic book store, the gang tries to help by organizing a benefit to raise some much-needed cash. Howard organizes the event, making it a "nerd party" with comic-related activities, refreshments and a costume contest. The contest, however, is skewed when Stuart dresses as a superhero and wins despite owning the store that burned down.

Meanwhile, Raj tries to get over Lucy by dating two women at once. However, his guilt catches up with him when he introduces both women to his friends at the benefit. Penny encourages him to come clean, but it remains to be seen if Raj is ready to be honest about his dating habits.

Sheldon, for his part, is dealing with the aftermath of his breakup with Amy. He tries to distract himself by immersing himself in work, but this proves difficult as Bernadette and Penny indulge in a girls' night out, leaving him feeling jealous and left out. Leonard tries to help Sheldon, but his efforts only serve to make Sheldon more introspective about his relationship with Amy.

The benefit is a success, and Howard manages to raise enough money to help Stuart rebuild his store. However, the night takes a turn when Stuart's insurance company denies his claim, leaving him in financial ruin. The gang, feeling responsible, comes together to support Stuart, each offering him a small loan to help him get back on his feet.

The episode ends with Raj confessing to his dates about seeing them both, finally being honest about his actions. Sheldon, meanwhile, decides to call Amy and ask her to meet him to discuss their relationship. The final scene shows him holding the phone, unsure if he should make the call.
