"An electrical short is going to thaw the last meal that was cooked by Mrs. Wolowitz, and the gang will ponder what to do with it, while Leonard and Sheldon's work is featured in a magazine, but only one will get the lead credit. Storyline number 2: Friction ensues when a magazine fails to mention the brilliance of Leonard in an article about the paper he co-wrote with Sheldon. Also, a blackout at Mrs. Wolowitz's residence leads to a final family dinner in her honor," the synopsis wrote.

"The Leftover Thermalization" is set to air March 12, Thursday at 8 p.m. ET on CBS.
