A promo for the episode opens with Sheldon bickering to Leonard about Bert's achievement. He says, " I can't believe I was surpassed by a geologist." He then he takes a rock in his hands and asks, "If rock is so great, how come paper beats it?"

The voice-over declares, "Professional jealousy can be hazardous to their health." The scene changes to Leonard carrying a limping Sheldon back to their apartment.
