Amy is away at a biology conference, so Sheldon wants to spend time with Raj looking at cosmological data. Penny is trying to make a sale to a psychiatrist. Stuart wants to move into the garage so he doesn't have to hear Howard and Bernadette have sex.
Tropes:
- Analogy Backfire: Sheldon calls asteroids "the fish fingers of space", then admits that he actually likes fish fingers.
- Compliment Backfire: Amy tells Sheldon she wishes he was there with her. Since she's at a biology conference, Sheldon thinks that's a bit mean.
- Parental Neglect: Leonard talks to a psychiatrist about how his mother neglected him.
- Wham Line: Played for laughs. Stuart comes into Howard and Bernie's bedroom to ask them something, and comments that he's never been in the room while they're awake.
