Sheldon's mother, Mary Cooper, is going on a Christian cruise called the "Born Again Boat Ride". Before the cruise, she has a weekend in Pasadena and visits Sheldon. However, he is upset when she does not do anything on his itinerary. Instead of his mother making fried chicken and making pecan pie, they go out to a restaurant for sushi; when doing laundry with Sheldon, Mary is distracted by Penny and leaves. The following day, Mary rejects a Saul Perlmutter lecture to go sight-seeing and even leads the rest of the gang to a Roman Catholic church for a prayer session. After she makes a short prayer about Sheldon, Penny prays for her brother to stop cooking meth, Leonard's prayer relates to his relationship with Priya and Raj, despite being a Hindu, prays that he can lose weight. Howard does not pray as he is a Jew.
Sheldon denies to Amy that he is in a bad mood because of his mother neglecting him. Amy tells Sheldon that he experiences emotions like everyone else. Later, when sitting next to a stranger in the rain, Sheldon makes a soliloquy about them being very similar, despite his intelligence. He gets a cold from the rain and his mother takes care of him, putting VapoRub on his chest and singing "Soft Kitty", though she urges him to act more mature as he is no longer a child.
