The multiverse chaos just got a lot more crowded. HBO Max’s The Big Bang Theory spinoff answers one of its biggest lingering questions in Episode 7, “Spoiler: Dexys Midnight Runners Get a Royalty Payment” — revealing exactly why Stuart, Denise, Bert, and Kripke keep running into other versions of themselves.
Stuart Fails to Save the Universe: Episode 7 Key Reveals
| Reveal | What It Means |
|---|---|
| Why they can’t get home | Sheldon and Leonard never finished the machine — it can jump sideways between universes but can’t steer toward the correct one |
| Why multiple Stuarts exist | Other versions of the group, from different universes, are also using the same unfinished technology |
| Groups Encountered | A lab-coat version and a military version of Stuart, Denise, Bert, and Kripke |
| Final Universe Reached | A world where the group is transformed into half-human, half-horse centaurs |
| New Twist Introduced | Everyone in this episode’s universe can hear each other’s thoughts |
What Actually Happens
The episode opens with the gang stuck in a universe where everyone can hear each other’s thoughts, forcing secrets into the open in awkward, often funny ways. While studying the machine’s instructions, Stuart finally realizes why their trips keep failing: the device only allows lateral movement between alternate universes, not travel back through time — the actual missing piece needed to get home.
Things escalate further when the group discovers another version of themselves already using the same technology, followed by a militarized version of Stuart’s team, who steal the device and vanish into another reality. The chase that follows drags Stuart and his friends through a war-torn universe before they narrowly escape by activating the machine once more — landing, this time, in a world where they’ve all become centaurs.
Why This Matters for the Season
Understanding the machine’s flaw doesn’t mean the group can fix it. Knowing they need to travel through time rather than sideways is progress, but without the missing components, getting back to their original universe remains just out of reach. The revelation also reframes the season’s earlier chaos — Stuart was never “the one” meant to save the universe; he’s just one of many versions attempting the same impossible task.

Final Word
Episode 7 turns a season-long mystery into real forward motion, even if “forward” still means bouncing between bizarre alternate realities. With multiple versions of the team now in play, the road home looks more complicated — and more entertaining — than ever.
