- Sheldon has to choose between joining Amy at her aunt's birthday party or playing videogames all weekend with the guys.
- Raj comes up with the idea of going down memory lane by the guys having a weekend long gaming marathon like they used to do, this time playing the new game, Star Wars: The Old Republic (2011). Despite Howard, Leonard and Sheldon being in relationships, they all agree. However, the three respective females in their lives may have some say about what happens on the weekend. Leonard hopes that Penny will care and have something to say about not spending the weekend with him, which means that their relationship is progressing back into true boyfriend/girlfriend status. Howard may not be able to choose between spending the weekend gaming or spending it with Bernadette. But Sheldon, who previously agreed to go to Amy's aunt's 93rd birthday celebration, has quite an easy decision between spending the weekend with the guys or with Amy and her aunt: he chooses the guys. A hurt Amy has to decide what to do in light of Sheldon's obvious disregard for her feelings. But someone other than Amy may be even more hurt by how the weekend progresses.—Huggo
- Raj wants to have a weekend marathon playing the new Star Wars online game like they used to before everybody got girlfriends. Sheldon is very excited except Amy informed him he already agreed to attend her aunt Flora's 93rd birthday party at her nursing home, even following the Relationship Agreement of 72 hours notice, checking the tire pressure on her car, and calling the Center for Disease Control and Prevention to see what kind of inoculations are required for Orange County. (There aren't any). Sheldon reluctantly agrees.
Sheldon tries to find Amy's aunt a gift at the comic book store. Stuart can only suggest an Excalibur sword with a tennis ball attached to the end as a cane or a Batman utility belt to carry pills. Howard thinks Sheldon should just ignore Amy and join them. He's a grown-up, he should be able to have a sleepover and play video games all weekend if he wants. Sheldon laments, "I always thought I would be enslaved by some advanced species from another planet, not by some hot girl from Glendale." Howard pulls out his phone & a "whipped" sound app.
Leonard checks with Penny and she was fine with it. He thought she'd have another reaction so using her acting she humors him telling him that he is stallion that has to run free. Sheldon comes by and asks her to manipulate Amy into letting him off from going to the birthday party. Penny refuses to do it despite (in Sheldon's view) a bribe using either Gummy bears or "Cooper Coupons".
On Saturday morning Sheldon gets into Amy's car determined to come, but using his laptop and WiFi connection to play off site. Amy doesn't want him ignoring her relatives and mistakenly tells him (in a sarcastic tone), if his gaming means more to him, he might as well stay. He then thanks her and leaves, though not before asking her to bring back a piece of birthday cake.
In the apartment, the guys prepare for their gaming session. Howard reveals that he mentioned his weekend plans to Bernadette in passing and she thought that it sounded like fun. When he explained it was just going to be with the guys, she then insinuated that he doesn't want to have her there or spend the time with her. To disprove it, he ended up knuckling under and inviting her to join them, buying her a laptop and a copy of the game. Sheldon plays the whipped sound app on Howard.
After Amy returns from the party, she ends up at Penny's telling her sad story. Amy was given crap about her lack of a boyfriend throughout the party. They thought he wasn't real like her made-up boyfriend Arman, the miniature horse breeder. Amy mused, "Think about it, I'm dating Sheldon Cooper. He's Physical handsome, he's lanky, he's brilliant, and his skin has that pale, waxy quality."
Bernadette is really enjoying the game killing bad guys by pointing her finger at them and going "pew! pew! pew!" and shouting "whee!" to make the land speeder go faster. After clearing a group of enemies, they divide the loot and Bernadette gets a purple robe she likes: she convinces Howard to change into a matching robe, even though he worked hard for his current, better armor. Sheldon uses the whipped app on Howard to the other guys' amusement and Bernadette clearly doesn't get it.
Penny suggests she and Amy play quarters, but then they have to stop before Penny gets really drunk because Amy is really good at it. Then Penny tries to help Amy with her problem. Withholding sex will only work with Sheldon once he hits puberty, and the "silent treatment" doesn't work because Sheldon actually loves the quiet. Plan C: make a scene.
Raj reminds Bernadette that she's the team healer and is responsible for healing all of them, not just concentrating on her fiance, ("My Howie Wowie has an Owie."). Sheldon comments on how sickeningly sweet that is, like how he's using a Red Vine as a straw for his Kool-Aid. Penny and Amy interrupts, Amy threatening to leave Sheldon for Arman. Sheldon asks "Arman who?" throwing off her tirade. Penny takes over telling Sheldon how much he hurt Amy. Sheldon understands and concedes that calling him her boyfriend isn't enough if she can't lord it over others. He gives her some Cooper Coupons as restitution. Penny tells him that she doesn't want his stupid coupons, though Amy immediately redeems that one for a trip to the California Science Center. Raj then complains that he was very much looking forward to this weekend. It was going to be just like the old days. The four of them, hanging out, playing video games, before everybody got girlfriends. Even if he gets one someday, he'll still be the guy who got a girlfriend AFTER SHELDON COOPER! Penny then tells Amy that that's how a girl makes a scene. Penny apologizes to Raj and all the girls leave.
The next day while everyone is asleep, Howard's mother stops by and screams at him for turning off his phone and making her spend a half-hour walking up those Ferkakta stairs. Howard tells them that his ride is there and immediately prepares to leave. Sheldon fits in one last "whipped" before he and the others roll over to go back to sleep.
