All: Surprise! Amy: And then they finish it off by staring into each other's eyes for four minutes. And sometimes, a mother. Bernadette: What? Emily: Um, it's kind of like interactive theatre, except you have to solve puzzles in a certain amount of time to get out. Honestly, if I could have one quality, I wish I could be as smart as you guys. Howard: The day she left for Florida. Leonard: Here it is. Leonard: Should we call Howard and Bernadette? Not even Amy knows. Penny: All that's left to do is stare into each other's eyes for four minutes without talking. Penny: And the wave is gone. Penny: I'm not gonna fall in love with Sheldon. Penny: Well, that's always been a secret. Raj: Hang on. She asked me to drive her to the airport. Sheldon: And I, you. Sheldon: Ha. Sheldon: Okay. There's one downtown where they trap you in a room with a zombie. You lost my mother's ashes? [ The apartment ]

They bond as Sheldon tells Penny a secret: that it is his birthday. They do not fall in love but happily reflect on their friendship. Sheldon is startled when his friends throw him a surprise party when he returns home. Raj, Emily, Leonard and Amy try a bit of interactive theater where participants have to solve puzzles to get out of a room.
