Meanwhile, at the gambling den, Georgie is busy at the gambling den helping out people who win items. He then walks into the Video Store and helps and rings up his rental.

George reveals that she and Brenda talk a decent amount in the chicken coop.

Sheldon is told about roommates, as someone delivers bunks. Grant O’Brien finds a used mainframe and has it delivered to the school while Sheldon is in Sturgis’ office; this was an act to foil the roommate situation.
