Episode 8 - The 21-second Excitation
Sheldon, Leonard, Raj, and Howard excitedly plan to attend a screening of Raiders of the Lost Ark that includes 21 seconds of never-before-seen footage. However, they delay reaching the theater, resulting in a lot of complaining from Sheldon. After a short time, Wil Wheaton arrives for the show.

After unsuccessfully attempting to retract his statement, Sheldon apologizes to Howard, but Howard does not accept his apology.
Episode 6 - The Irish Pub Formulation
Raj's sister Priya (Aarti Mann) visits and inadvertently causes trouble for the friends. She and Leonard apparently have a history, despite Leonard's pinky swear with Howard that they would not interact with her in deference to Raj. They hook up, but are discovered by Sheldon, who tries to devise an elaborate, flawless lie to cover it up. Leonard cannot persist in the deception and reveals the assignation.

When Leonard reveals to him that he can't actually say that anymore, it freaks him out and he tries to "break up" with her. When she tells him it is only to please her mother, and that she doesn't actually want to be his girlfriend, he is happy again. He goes along with her idea and tells Amy's mother via webcam that he is having regular sex with her daughter, which freaks her out just like Amy wanted it to. Sheldon then asks Amy if they actually want to have sex, and then says "Bazinga!" She leaves and he goes to bed.
Episode 4 - The Hot Troll Deviation
When the guys run into Howard's ex at the Cheesecake Factory, he ends up confronting his lingering feelings for her. He seeks help from Penny, who agrees on the condition that Howard reveal the reason behind his breakup. He confesses that Bernadette caught him engaging in cybersex with a fellow World of Warcraft player, later revealed to be a male colleague at the university. Howard and Bernadette discuss their relationship at the restaurant and make amends, deciding to give it another try. They go out on a date and are last seen making out in her car.
Episode 3 - The Zazzy Substitution
Sheldon and Amy Farrah Fowler are very compatible with each other, as evidenced by how well they can play "counter-factuals", a game they invented requiring them to know what the other is thinking would be the answer to a question about "an alternate world that differs from ours in one key aspect" (Leonard flunks miserably when he attempts to play this game). Bringing Amy into the group is a source of consternation, as the guys can barely handle Sheldon by himself, let alone with Amy who is his female equivalent.
Episode 2 - The Cruciferous Vegetable Amplification
Sheldon's estimate for his life expectancy leads him to the conclusion that he will miss by only a few years "the singularity ... when man will be able to transfer his consciousness into machines, and achieve immortality". He therefore changes his diet to eat cruciferous vegetables and starts to exercise in hopes of extending his life expectancy. Since the diet of brussels sprout gives him a bad case of flatulence, and he tumbles on the stairs going down for a jog, Sheldon decides on an alternate plan to extend his life expectancy.
Episode 1 - The Robotic Manipulation
The episode starts with the five main characters having dinner and then oscillates between two plots. In one plot, Howard demonstrates during dinner the capabilities of a robotic arm, that he "borrowed" from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory by showing off how the robotic arm can serve dinner. He later uses the robotic arm to give himself a massage. Since the arm feels so real, it gives him the idea to use the robotic arm to masturbate.
When Bernadette receives her Ph.D., the guys take joy in reminding an emasculated Wolowitz that he is the only one in their group who isn't a doctor. Meanwhile, Koothrappali becomes Sheldon's new roommate after hearing Leonard and Priya engaging in a "Star Trek" bedroom fantasy.
