Leonard gives it to Penny for safekeeping, but Sheldon attempts to steal it while she sleeps and she punches him in the nose. The fight escalates at lunch at the university when all of the guys grab the ring and begin a holding contest, with the last one holding on the keeper of the ring. They somehow walk out the door of the university, get in a car and drive home. Leonard drops out when Penny tempts him with sex. The remaining three try several mind tricks on each other to give up the ring such as attacking their mothers or trying to make the other go pee, which works and Sheldon and Howard have to somehow urinate without letting go of the ring.

In the end, the guys fall asleep on the couch, with no one holding the ring. When they wake up, Leonard tells them he sent it back to Peter Jackson and berates them for their childish behavior and that they would take the ring over having friends, since most likely whoever got the ring would have been made an outcast by the others.
