All I want to do is present you as my boyfriend to my mother so she'll be satisfied that I'm in a relationship. Amy (off): Amy Farrah Fowler. Amy: That was rude. Amy: You wanted me to have a boyfriend, Mother. Bernadette: Joy, this is Leonard. Have to sign off now. He is tedious. Howard: You that desperate? Leonard (exiting the apartment): Keep going. Leonard: Because I don't need his girlfriend to set me up with one of her girlfriends. Leonard: I want to invoke the girlfriend pact, Howard. Leonard: Well, I'm off to meet Bernadette's friend. Leonard: Well, you know how you're always saying that Amy is a girl who's your friend, and not your girlfriend? Leonard: You realize he's just rubbing our noses in the fact that he has a girlfriend, and we don't. Sheldon: Amy Farrah Fowler has asked me to meet her mother. Sheldon: Amy's right. Sheldon: I'm removing my digital footprint from the Internet so Amy Farrah Fowler can't find me and compel me to meet her mother. Sheldon: The only flaw in an otherwise perfect plan. That would be a terrible, terrible thing. Which, now that I think about it, is not so good. You want a girlfriend, Amy wants to be someone's girlfriend.

Summary: When Amy decides to introduce Sheldon to her mother, he becomes worried as being introduced to Amy's mother would indicate that Amy wants to be his girlfriend, which he is not ready for. So he begins to avoid Amy, removing all possible contact with her and even disguising himself so that she would not recognize him. However Amy catches Sheldon outside the apartment building and then calms him down, assuring him that she only wants to introduce him to her mother so that she would be convinced that Amy is in a relationship and leave her alone. Later when talking to Amy's mother, a now relieved Sheldon and Amy lie to Amy's mother that they are in a "sexual relationship", which does not go too well with her. Meanwhile, as Howard now has a girlfriend, Leonard decides to invoke the "Girlfriend Pact" (from the Season 3 episode The Creepy Candy Coating Corollary) with Howard. Howard and Bernadette set up a double date with Leonard and one of Bernadette's friends, Joy. Joy behaves in an obnoxious and inappropriate manner during the date, which disgusts Leonard. However he later accepts another date with Joy due to understanding that sex is a strong possibility.
