- Leonard tries to keep everyone from finding out that he spent the night with Raj's sister, but Sheldon finds out and concocts an elaborate story to help him keep the secret from Raj.
- Raj's sister, Priya, a corporate lawyer, has a 24 hour layover in Los Angeles on her way to Toronto on a work trip. When the guys met her the first and only time five years ago when she last was in Los Angeles, Howard and Leonard made a "pinky swear" pact not to hit on her, much to Raj's pleasure as he wanted and still wants to protect his little, innocent sister. Priya ends up not being so innocent as she wants to have a casual fling with Leonard on this trip, he who complies and would actually want it to be more than just casual. When Sheldon catches Priya in their apartment when she shouldn't be there, Sheldon devises an elaborate but totally implausible alibi for Leonard in the probability - at least in Sheldon's mind - that Raj and or Howard will ask. This incident brings up the issue of betrayal amongst the four friends.—Huggo
- At the Caltech cafeteria, the peach cobbler tastes like it's made of actual pieces of shoemaker which amuses Sheldon. Raj brings by his sister, Priya (Aarti Mann). She has a day layover in L.A on the way to Toronto. Leonard and Howard had agreed 5 yrs ago not to hit on Raj's sister (with a Pinky swear to preserve their friendship), though Leonard and Priya did have a history together and it quickly heats up on her return to U.S when she takes Leonard away from the group and ends up kissing him passionately.
That night, Sheldon is busy playing Zork via an emulator. Leonard helps distract him since Priya sneaked over from her brother's apartment to spend the night with Leonard. Leonard sneaks Priya in his room for the night.
In the morning, after a lovely night with Priya, Leonard wonders if he should get a job in India so that they could date. Priya doesn't feel that that is a good idea since her parents prefer her with an Indian man. Still trying to hide from Sheldon, Leonard tries to distract him (with the ruse of a rash and asking Sheldon to find the right ointment for him), but he still catches her walking out. Leonard then asks Sheldon to conceal his violation of a 2005 pinkie swear with Howard.
For Sheldon to keep a secret he must come up with a logical alternate explanation. He lies that Leonard went to a local Irish bar and hooked up with the fun loving and morally loose Ms. Maggie McGarry. She works at Lucky Baldwin's tending bar with a head full of curls and a heart full of dreams. Sheldon even has a phone number, an automated message and a lock of Maggie's auburn hair... from an orangutan in the university lab.
Raj first worries about Priya ever being attracted to Howard and then asks Leonard about the new episode of "Caprica" which he missed due to his night with Priya. Leonard tries the Maggie McGarry alibi, but end up telling the truth. He admits to Raj he slept with Priya with both Howard and Raj going ballistic. After Leonard told him he offered Priya his heart and she stepped on it, Raj felt much better. Then everyone starts exposing and confessing things better left unsaid such as Howard dropping Raj's IPhone into a urinal, Howard lying to Raj about foreigners giving present to Americans on Thanksgiving and washing their clothes on the 4th of July, Sheldon grinding up moths and mixing them in Leonard's food as an experiment, and Raj using Sheldon's toothbrush (much to Sheldon's disgust and horror) (he used the plastic handle to gently massage his gums). He nearly breaks his friendship with Raj, but forgives him when he learns that Raj bought him a talking Thomas the Tank Engine with real puffing smoke.
Finally, Sheldon preparing snow cones and serving one to Leonard, and confessing they were made with mango caterpillar. Leonard then spits out the snow cone and leaves the apartment, upset.
