(He does. (Sneezes) Perfect. All: Not now! Amy and I will beat you at anything. Batman and Robin. Bernadette: Took some Benadryl. Besides, he gives us a twenty percent discount at his comic book store. Great to be back on Earth. Howard is screaming. Howard: Former dentist. Howard: Ma, who is in there? Howard: Yeah, well, Bernadette's a little under the weather and my mom's kind of under my dentist. I mean, the nose doesn't light up, but if the corpse is fresh enough, sometimes you can get the leg to jerk. Leonard: Because he's hard to find. Leonard: Sheldon, we haven't won a game all night. Leonard: Snort it down and keep eating! Now, hold on to your hat. Penny and Sheldon have their foreheads on light sabres and are spinning. Penny: 37. Raj: Just until he gets back on his feet, which are looking pretty good in the boots I bought him for his birthday. Ready, set, go. Scene: A diner. Scene: Howard and Bernadette's Bedroom. Scene: Raj's apartment. Scene: The Airport Arrivals Hall. Scene: The Apartment. Scene: The apartment. She starts snoring)
Howard: Bernadette? Sheldon: Amy, do something. Sheldon: He left a boy, he returns a boy-sized hero. Stuart: Raj is taking me to the Sound of Music sing-along. That nut job was telling everybody on the plane he's an astronaut. That used to be our thing, but that's cool. That's not the kind of hero's welcome an astronaut should come home to. There he is! There's Penny and Amy. Waitress: Good for you. We leave that to your rock stars and your athletes and your Howie Mandels. We still have another six miles to go. You're welcome.

Summary: After they lose badly to Penny and Amy at Pictionary and Penny declares she can beat them at anything, Sheldon and Leonard challenge the women to a series of games and the girls proceed to easily defeat the boys each time. Meanwhile, Howard returns to Earth and expects a grand welcome from friends and public, but only Bernadette greets him at the airport, the grand public welcome being reserved for Howie Mandel, who was on the plane with him and doesn't believe that Howard is actually an astronaut. The couple go to Bernadette's apartment to enjoy their "honeymoon" which is cut short when Bernadette quickly falls asleep, having taken Benadryl for her cold. Howard leaves for his home, where he is shocked to discover his mother having an affair with his (now former) dentist. At Raj's apartment he finds Stuart now stays with Raj and has replaced him as Raj's best friend, both even planning to go to a Sound of Music singalong, something he used to only do with Howard. He leaves for Leonard and Sheldon's apartment, but immediately exits when Leonard, Sheldon, Penny and Amy, still engaged in their contest, shoo him away. He finally ends up alone in a diner, where a waitress recognizes him from the news and gives him a free piece of pie. However, as he starts eating, he sneezes and realizes he caught Bernadette's cold.
