Episode Summary

The group debates the logic behind the Terminator movies, specifically the creation of a teenage terminator by Skynet. Penny reveals she's replacing the lead in "Rent," but the others, except Sheldon, lie about attending her showcase, citing a fake symposium. Sheldon, uncomfortable with lying, concocts a complex deception involving a non-existent cousin Leo, leading to the introduction of Toby, who plays Leo. The lie spirals as Penny's showcase has a low turnout, and the group continues to maintain the facade around "Leo's" addiction issues.
