** Despite being a physics prodigy, Sheldon seems to not know about the so-called imaginary and complex numbers. Surely an even younger Sheldon would have no problem solving an equation like ''x''^2 − 6''x'' + 7 = 0, one solution of which is ''x'' = 3 − √2, the other is ''x'' = 3 + √2; one can obtain a reasonable approximation of either solution with a calculator. On the other hand, a typical calculator might have trouble with ''x''^2 − 4''x'' + 7 = 0, one solution of which is ''x'' = 2 + √(−3). That involves taking the square root of a negative number. Centuries ago, such numbers were derided as imaginary. But science nevertheless progressed by pretending that such numbers exist, as Billy suggests Sheldon should do with zero. To be fair to the writers, however, most of their viewers would have been as lost as Billy if the plot involved imaginary numbers, and even Sheldon might have never encountered imaginary numbers in a high school math classroom.

** Going by mathematical terminology, zero is not just real, it is purely real, it is also purely imaginary, and we can even go nuts and say it's purely complex. This is because 0 is between the aforementioned −''i'' and ''i'', which are labeled as purely imaginary, just as it's between −1 and 1, which are labeled as purely real.

** Sturgis has the right reaction at first. "You're being silly," he says to the young genius, "zero is a number, like every other number." In response, Sheldon confronts Sturgis with division by zero, though he phrases it by asking "can you divide ''with'' it?" (emphasis added). Although no number is divisible by zero, neither Sheldon nor Sturgis have any similar unease about −1 and 1 being divisible by all numbers, including 0, which divided by any nonzero number is 0. It is only dividing ''by'' zero that leads to the paradox of a directionless infinity that is neither positive nor negative. So yes, you can divide with zero, just as long as it's the dividend, not the divisor.

Sheldon starts tutoring Billy, andfinds it to Sheldon's surprise, Billy makes progress. However, Billy eventually asks Sheldon whether zero is real or not, and Sheldon doesn't have an answer. Sheldon, Dr. Sturgis (Creator/WallaceShawn), and Dr. Linkletter (Creator/EdBegleyJr) then try to figure out whether zero is real, and they can't reach a conclusion.
Sheldon later realizes that as long as one accepts zero as real, they can do all of modern mathematics with it, and therefore, he should just accept zero, like how Christians accept God. He also realizes that since the Universe originally came from nothing, that makes zero (not God) the ultimate creator. He then prays to zero alongside Billy.
Meanwhile, Missy is having trouble with Kevin, a boy at school who she likes. Missy won't talk to Mary about it, and so she talks to Connie, who tells Missy to ask her friend Heather to find out whether Kevin likes her. However, this backfires after Heather asks out Kevin. Mandy then tells Missy that she should have asked one of Kevin's friends, or slipped a note in his locker. Missy then asks for advice on how to deal with Heather, and Mandy encourages her to continue being her friend in order to find out embarrassing things about her. Missy really appreciates Mandy's advice, and the two of them start going out and doing this together, as Mandy is like an older sister to Missy; Mary and Connie are both jealous of this.
Mandy then tells Missy about how verydifficult.
