When you (unwittingly) relieve a genius of all his distractions, what happens?

This ^^ is a great question.
And... not to hijack your prompt, but it makes me wonder if, at the happy resolution, Rodney might say to John that they need to tone down their "closeness" while he finishes his latest genius project. And John goes "Wut??? (but I am beautiful and charming and I forgive you and all). And Rodney goes, "Sorry, Working, Busy now, cya". I'm smiling just thinking about it.
