Stuart's comic store becomes popular when a writer puts it on the map, changing Sheldon's bookreading browsing experience. The store is so packed with customers that Stuart is forced to cancel his babysitting shift, forcing Bernadette and Howard to stay home for the night.

Stuart hires Denise (Creator/LaurenLapkus) to help out at the store. Sheldon is initially suspicious of Denise and doubts her subject matter expertise, but she quickly wins him over. Amy gets tired of Sheldon constantly talking to Denise.

Meanwhile, Raj takes credit for a comet that Penny discovered.


Added DiffLines:

* BaitAndSwitch: Amy goes to Stuart's comic book store to confront Denise, maybe to make sure that Denise knows that Sheldon is Amy's man. But by now we should know better. Amy actually wants Denise to teach her about comic books.
