Sheldon and Amy have been together for two years. As stated in the relationship agreement, Amy demands a romantic dinner. Sheldon also invites Rajesh to do so. Amy, who hoped to finally deepen the relationship with Sheldon, is of course not very enthusiastic, but after a while Rajesh voluntarily vacates the field and goes to Penny and Leonard, who had planned a TV evening for two. Since Leonard had previously annoyed Penny with relationship talks, she is initially happy about Rajesh's appearance and both enjoy a football game with plenty of beer, while Leonard sits pouting next to them. However, when Rajesh begins to give the two of them relationship advice and asks Penny to finally tell Leonard that she loves him, he is kicked out and he seeks Stuart in the comic book store. In the meantime, Sheldon finds himself pressured by his angry girlfriend to give her the romance appropriate for the occasion, and actually manages to astonish her with his speech. However, he spoils the moment again by declaring that he has quoted from a film. In the meantime, Howard has arrived safely on the ISS , but cannot concentrate on his work there because his mother and Bernadette are constantly asking him about the planned housing situation. While Bernadette wants him to move in with her and finally tell his mother this, his mother wants him to stay with her. Howard does not want to hurt the feelings of the two and puts himself in a bind by not clearing the situation, but satisfying both of them with lies for the time being.

Penny tells Amy and Bernadette that she isn't sure if she really loves Leonard. Amy tells this to Sheldon, who, as always, has a big problem keeping the secret to himself. He tries to explain the situation to Leonard in a cumbersome way with a conversation about the Transformers , but Leonard thinks he is talking about himself and Amy. Sheldon later even wakes Leonard in the middle of the night to finally get rid of the secret, but decides not to say anything and instead wakes Penny to confront her. He hates change and therefore wants her to stay with Leonard regardless of how she feels so that everything stays the way it is. Penny is upset by Sheldon's interference and makes him realize that it is none of his business. Nevertheless, at the next dinner with Leonard, she dares to try to talk to him about her feelings, but has no heart to tell the truth and the whole thing ends in a night together. Meanwhile, Stuart, eyed critically by Sheldon, tries to take Howard's place in the group, while the latter is annoyed by the other astronauts on the space station and complains to Bernadette about it. Unfortunately, your advice to defend yourself against the others backfires.

After the Higgs boson has been proven and a Nobel Prize is in prospect for the discoverer, Sheldon suspects that he too wrote a work worthy of the Nobel Prize a long time ago. He had his mother send all the documents from his childhood to him and hired a young assistant named Alex Jensen to sift through his work. Amy calls Sheldon's office one day, discovers that Alex is a woman and is scared that she might attack Sheldon. You and Penny go to college to spy on Sheldon. To Amy's relief, the two see the group in the cafeteria, where Alex is flirting with Leonard. Penny is not very happy about this, and when Alex and Sheldon come to Leonard and Penny's apartment in the evening, Penny grabs Leonard in front of Alex's eyes and disappears with him into their apartment. In the meantime, Howard, who is starting to suffer from claustrophobia and paranoia, complains that his return journey from the ISS is likely to be delayed by seven to ten days. The other astronauts finally give him a syringe which overshoots the target.

Howard comes back from space, but nobody seems to have time for him or to care about him. When he returns, not all of his friends await him, as he had hoped, but only Bernadette, who persuaded the others that the first evening should be theirs. However, nothing comes of the night together, because Bernadette has caught the flu. Howard then first seeks out his mother, who has an unexpected male visit, and then Rajesh, where he finds out that he now seems to have found a new best friend in Stuart and has even let him move in with him. Sad and disappointed, Howard sits down alone in a café, where he finally gets a little bit of attention after the waitress recognizes him as an astronaut. After Penny and Amy win over Leonard and Sheldon because of Sheldon's overly complicated approach at the Pictionary, the two demand revenge. As a result, a competition between the two teams develops in increasingly bizarre game disciplines, from which Penny and Amy always emerge as winners.

The annual Halloween party in the comic book store is coming up. Rajesh helps Stuart with the preparation, but rather annoys the others with his ideas for food and decorations. Howard also makes himself unpopular because he uses every opportunity to talk about his journey into space, even in the evening when he is in bed with his wife. When Bernadette finally approaches him, he reacts angrily and does not want to see that he is no longer allowed to talk about the greatest event of his life. Reluctantly, he accompanies Bernadette to the Halloween party, where there is an argument. Only an embarrassing video about the former astronaut Buzz Aldrin finally makes it clear to him that Bernadette is right. Meanwhile, Amy and Sheldon cannot agree on costumes in a partner look for the Halloween party and finally reach a compromise. Penny's and Leonard's love life finally experiences an unexpected upsurge when Penny visits her boyfriend for the first time ever in his laboratory and he impresses her there with gadgets and his knowledge of the universe. Because this spontaneously arouses a strong desire for Leonard in Penny, the two of them subsequently meet repeatedly for "private lessons" in the laboratory.

Sheldon plays the online word game "Words with Friends" with Stephen Hawking , who no longer reports after Sheldon's clear victory. Howard explains to Sheldon that Hawking is a very bad loser, which worries Sheldon. When Hawking does play again after a while, Sheldon is overjoyed and, contrary to his belief, lets him win on purpose so as not to mess with his new "friend". However, this leads to Hawking calling him and mocking him on the phone as a loser. Meanwhile, Penny tells Leonard that she is going to evening school and will soon have to hand in her first housework. She doesn't want him to help her, but Leonard's concern about the quality of her first housework outweighs it and he reads it secretly, which confirms his concern. He decides, despite Penny's express request, to completely rewrite her work, which the two of them get into an argument about. To get back at him, a few days later she gave him “her” corrected work with a good grade, but withheld the fact that she actually let Amy and Bernadette help her.

After Sheldon has understood the situation and his reconciliation gift does not have the desired effect, he asks Penny for advice, who serves him a special "tea" (an alcoholic Long Island Iced Tea ), even though he does not actually drink alcohol. In a drunk state, Sheldon sets out to confront Wil Wheaton and defend Amy's honor in a fight. He apologizes, but shortly afterwards Sheldon vomits in his front yard. Eventually Sheldon decides to use LeVar Burton on the set, but Amy doesn't get along very well with him either.

Howard notices that Sheldon leaves the group every day between 2:45 and 3:05 p.m., and not even his assistant Alex knows what he is doing during this time. As a result, he and Rajesh desperately want to discover the secret and secretly follow Sheldon to a small room in the basement of the university. The following night both of them break in there, but find only an inconspicuous room with a blackboard on which the number 43 is written. As a result, they rack their brains unsuccessfully about what the number might be all about. Finally, Howard installs a camera to watch Sheldon there. However, the latter discovers the camera and plays a bad trick on both of them, so that in the end only the viewer is revealed to the rather banal secret of the room. Meanwhile, Leonard is jealous of Penny's new classmate because he is handsome and has a British accent. The conversations about it with Sheldon (whose statements on the subject Leonard are even more unsettling) and Alex (who flirts with Leonard without him noticing) cannot prevent him from being carried away into an embarrassing act against the supposed rival. So it comes to an argument between him and Penny, in the course of which she tells him for the first time ever that she loves him.

A guerrilla war breaks out between the two, who each stubbornly insist on their points of view and want to get their way through by all means. Amy and Bernadette also get into an argument about it and Bernadette finally even has Amy's car, with which Sheldon wanted to block the parking lot, towed away. After the dispute initially escalated, u. a. with painful consequences for Penny, Rajesh induces Howard to give in for the sake of peace and pass up the parking lot. However, Sheldon cannot accept this outcome and leaves Howard his parking space for the time being so that he can portray himself as the smarter one who has given in.

However, this turns out to be difficult because of Rajesh's claims, and when he also offends Amy by saying that he already had a crush on Penny and Bernadette, but not with them, the evening seems completely ruined. However, they both discover some similarities and are reconciled after Rajesh begins to feel affection for Amy. Meanwhile, Leonard, Sheldon, Howard and Stuart continue to try to free Santa Claus in their role play. At first Sheldon can't do much with the story conceived by Leonard, because he doesn't think much of Christmas. Soon, however, the game brings back childhood memories in him and captivates him more and more, until the reason for his rejection is finally revealed: as a five-year-old he asked "Santa Claus" in a department store to bring his deceased grandpa back to him.

This is extremely undiplomatic and takes a biological point of view, which leads to Alex complaining to the HR department about sexual harassment. Sheldon is called in there and makes things worse with his clumsy remarks to the HR manager. He tries to put his offense into perspective by blaspheming Leonard, Rajesh and Howard and their misconduct, which is why in the end all four are informed about correct behavior in the workplace in the personnel office and Sheldon is also condemned to an online seminar on sexual harassment in the workplace. He finally apologizes to Alex, but passes the seminar on to her because he considers his time to be too precious.

Sheldon and Kripke are forced by the institute to work together on a research project and therefore have to share their previous results.

In order not to show his nakedness, he agrees with Kripke when Kripke assumes that it all comes from Sheldon's excessive sex life with Amy, which completely distracts him from work. However, this leads to the fact that Kripke is more interested in Sheldon and Amy's supposed activities than in the joint research project and holes Sheldon with intimate questions. Meanwhile, Rajesh and Howard have costly action figures created in their own likeness. But since these are not at all similar to them, they simply buy a 3D printer together so that they can produce some themselves. Howard falls back on Bernadette's money because the device is too expensive for his own budget. After the resulting argument with his wife, he lets Rajesh pay him off and from then on has to be content with the money his wife has given him.

Amy was chosen because she always felt like an outsider and has found a family through Sheldon and Leonard. At the meeting, however, Rajesh puts Lucy under pressure because he wants to know if she is his boyfriend. After he apologizes to her, she agrees to appear at Leonard's farewell party. There, however, Rajesh only receives an email from her in which she breaks up with him, and then leaves the party with a broken heart. The next day, Penny and Sheldon take Leonard to the airport, where they confess their love and Leonard gives her a farewell present. Penny then goes to Rajesh to comfort him. It turns out that through the emotional chaos with Lucy, he can finally talk to women without being drunk.
