Raj worries a probe he designed will not work in outer space, while Leonard and Sheldon go shopping with Penny and Amy.

Raj was part of a team which launched the New Horizon Space Probe nine years ago to collect data about Pluto, the probe which is now within distance to provide its first data... that is if it is still operational. While waiting to hear any news about the probe with Howard and Bernadette, Raj can't help but feel totally stressed. He makes a surprising decision on how to calm down. Meanwhile, Penny and Amy, who feel that they always have to do what Leonard and Sheldon want to do, are given the privilege of deciding what the four will do for the day. As Penny wants to do something that she knows Leonard and Sheldon will hate, Sheldon comes up with the answer to appease Penny: dress shopping. While Penny and Amy are in the change rooms, and Leonard and Sheldon wait outside, each pair talks about their respective friendships, most specifically the issue of compromise.—Huggo

Amy and Penny are ready to leave for a Sunday outing. The guys' "good" news is that they have already ordered lunch and the four of them can play the Lord of the Rings version of Risk for the next eight hours. The girls want them to agree to do something they want to do since they usually do what the guys want to do like video game nights, game night and watching movies with director commentaries. Even Sheldon agrees to let the girls decide. Penny suggests horseback riding (Kaley's hobby), but Amy has a narrow pelvis as a direct result of riding a thin pony and falling off after hitting a bump. Amy wants to do basket weaving at a Wilshire Boulevard craft store. Penny then insists that they find something that the guys will hate to do since she went with Leonard to the Dr. Who convention. Sheldon starts to make suggestions because he is a problem solver; he suggests ice skating to trigger Leonard's asthma and bring out his fear of Zambonis.

At Howard and Bernadette's Apartment, Raj is worried about the New Horizons spacecraft which he worked on. It is scheduled to be turned on as it approaches Pluto and he is worried that it will not operate. The spacecraft could have been hit by space ice, which could have destroyed it. He can't even bear to watch the movie "Frozen" anymore.

Back in apartment 4A. First they talk about seeing the Philharmonic which has a Beethoven concert. Amy always goes along with Penny which Leonard finds interesting since they want the guys to follow her ideas (also, the guys are accused of controlling their activities, while Penny hypocritically does the same thing to Amy). Sheldon then suggests that they go back to the basics and go clothes shopping while the guys sit in uncomfortable chairs holding their purses. Both of them would hate that. Finally they decide on shopping, Penny's favorite past-time.

Raj is getting more nervous as it is still over two hours to go. Raj then decides that if he makes a basket shot into the waste can he can assume that the space probe will operate. After he makes his shot, Howard tells him to settle down; however, he HAS to try the best two out of three shots.

Sheldon and Leonard are sitting outside the dressing rooms. Sheldon is uncomfortable staring at all the panties in the lingerie section. There is also no cell phone service in the store. Sheldon thinks that there must be things to do before smartphones were invented so he tries to look them up on his smartphone. Son of a biscuit. Now he wants to complain to their corporate office that they have no Wi-Fi, but he can't call him either. Son of a biscuit! Sheldon surprises Leonard when he says that he makes compromises for him all the time. He didn't mention the lettuce that was stuck in his tooth at lunch even though others were laughing at him. Leonard explains that he drives Sheldon everywhere because he won't learn how to drive. Amy has taught Sheldon to drive, but he finds it scary and doesn't want to take away what he thinks is Leonard's purpose in life.

Howard and Raj go out for a drive to calm Raj down. He wants to go to a temple. Howard is worried that they might rip his heart out like in "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom". Even though the imperialistic movie makes the Hindu religion seem like barbarians, Raj still loves that film. Raj admits that religion is a sensitive subject for him, and that he does go to temple whenever necessary. Even though he's a scientist, Raj still has reasons for having a religion, just like Blaise Pascal, Michael Faraday, and Albert Einstein did (Howard only thinks that Einstein believed in God after having coitus with Marilyn Monroe).

Penny and Amy are trying on clothes. She asks Amy why she does everything Penny wants. Amy replied that if she got friends, she would do exactly as they asked. Penny says that was then and now she is a woman who is smart, has great friends, a boyfriend, but zero fashion sense as Amy exits the changing stall. Penny agrees to do what Amy wants to do and that's basket weaving at the Crafts Festival Museum.

Leonard and Sheldon are still talking about compromises. Sheldon put the apple pancake mix out of alphabetical order on a lower shelf so Leonard could reach it and make Sheldon his breakfast. Leonard compromises because he can't adjust the temperature in his own home, he can't whistle, he can't wear squeaky shoes, and he hasn't moved in with Penny because the last time he mentioned it, Sheldon ran away. Leonard explains that Sheldon has no idea how much he inconveniences the lives of everybody around him due to his behavior, which is exhausting. Sheldon feels that Leonard is mean to him due to his sarcastic comments and eye-rolls. Then Sheldon tells him that if he wants to move out and live with Penny, he should. Leonard doesn't want him to get upset; however, both start to cry over losing their roommate and best friend. They agree that he should do it in stages and the two nights a week at Penny's apartment gets reduced to once a week and Leonard can whistle in the apartment when Sheldon is not there.

Howard and Raj arrive at a Hindu temple and Raj starts to describe the architecture. Howard is worried that he is dressed right. Raj always feels that when entering the temple, everything is going to be all right since we are all part of the same cosmos and are all interconnected. His philosophizing stops when someone hits his car with their car door. He starts yelling at the older Indian man who did it. In the middle of this outburst, Howard gets a message and tells Raj that the probe is working fine. Raj calms down. He becomes a suddenly benevolent and respectful Hindu and gives Grandpa a folded hand Namaste! bow.

Shamy and Lenny are making baskets at the Crafts Festival Museum and Leonard doesn't find it boring. Penny tells Leonard not to let Amy know or they'll be there every Sunday. Sheldon is not making a basket; he's making a 16th-century Chinese warrior hat. Leonard briefly rolls his eyes at Sheldon, which he sees due to his "excellent peripheral vision".

Finally, Leonard and Penny are celebrating their new life living together in Penny's apartment. The both are really proud of Sheldon who is sleeping on the couch and calls out for them to keep the noise down.
