[S12E21] The Plagiarism Schism
The Coopers invite their rivals to lunch with them expecting another apology. Instead Sheldon hands over the evidence on Pemberton's plagiarism. Pemberton first accuses them of blackmail. Amy says that it's the opposite. Pemberton cluelessly wonders if they are blackmailing the Coopers. Amy again yells at him asking him how he is up for a Nobel Prize? Campbell asks if the plagiarism is true. Yes. Then Campbell realizes that this could also ruin his career and he admits that he has been sleeping with Pemberton's wife, Linda. Pemberton throws a drink into Campbell's face which causes a brawl on the floor. AND he used Sheldon's ice tea!
[S12E21] The Plagiarism Schism
While Sheldon and Amy are having lunch together in his office the next day, Dr. Campbell stumbles into their office drunk. Campbell published the plagiarism evidence getting both him and Pemberton fired from Fermilab (and also ending Pemberton's scientific career and getting him disqualified from Nobel Prize consideration), though Campbell was no longer seeing Linda. He tries to weasel his way onto their team, but Amy pushes him out of the office, while Sheldon couldn't see what Linda saw in either of them. 041b061a72
