Alex: Okay. Alex: Well, um, I know she loves playing the harp, so I found this beautiful music box that plays one of her favourite songs. Amy: Happy Valentine's Day. And I managed to find this signed print. Bernadette: They do look happy. But a year from now, he'll be crawling under the sink looking for his Xbox. Howard: Oh, that's not bad, but as far as romance goes, I think my gift hits it right out of... (Bumps into chair and drops the slide)
Leonard: Want to come to dinner with us? Howard: She hid my Xbox like I'm a child. Howard: Well, I was trying to come up with something really romantic to give Bernadette for Valentine's Day since she's been such a pain in the ass. Leonard: I'm not saying that. Leonard: No, tell me. Leonard: Uh, where what is? Penny...
Penny: Get up. Penny: Until he cheated on me with my friend Gretchen, who's here with him now. Raj: Except on a date with anybody. Raj: Later, losers! Raj: Well, uh, how about you keep the store open late, and we throw a party for all the people who don't have dates? Sheldon: Now, Amy already has a real harp. Since Amy's a neuroscientist, I did some research and found out that Santiago Ramon y Cajal, the father of modern neuroscience, did lots of hand drawings of brain cells. Stuart: What? Um, I know she's a fan of The Canterbury Tales. We are a community, and as long as we have each other, we're never truly alone. We stay here, order a pizza and watch one of your beloved Star War Trek things. Well, he will. What I need you to do is find a Valentine's gift for my girlfriend. Yes, I still want to be your emergency contact.

Summary: On Valentine's Day, Leonard & Penny share a dinner date with Howard & Bernadette, who are in a foul mood as she hid his Xbox when he played Assassin's Creed instead of doing the laundry. Leonard & Penny are happy until she sees an ex-boyfriend propose to a girlfriend, triggering an argument with Leonard who later confronts her for ruining their date: she tells Leonard that she's really happy with their relationship and fears he will one day propose before she is ready. He says he will not propose again and suggests that she propose to him when she is ready. Penny accepts this and they reconcile. Meanwhile, Sheldon has Alex buy a Valentine gift for Amy. Alex buys three: a harp-shaped music box with Amy's favorites; a map of The Canterbury Tales journeys; a signed print of a brain cell drawing by Santiago Ramon y Cajal. He picks the print but keeps it. Amy suggests celebrating as he'd wish: no romance or gifts; a pizza; a Star Trek or Star Wars DVD. Touched, he makes her his emergency contact. Her delight turns to annoyance at frequent work interruptions to tend his hypochondria. Elsewhere, Raj and Stuart, both without dates that day, throw a store party for fellow singles, where Raj orates that singles are not truly alone, having one other - but when guest Lucy praises his speech, he asks her out for coffee, derides singles, and leaves with her.
