(Pulls a puppy out of her bag.) A vintage, mint in box, 1975 Mego Star Trek transporter with real transporter action. And she's a lesbian. Gotta tell you, it was a lot more fun taking it out and playing with it. He switches the two toys. Howard: Her. Howard: So you're seriously thinking about marrying someone you're never going to have s*x with. Howard: Well, can you make it soon. I might never find another one who does. It's about Lakshmi. Lakshmi: I know a fake marriage isn't an honest way to live, but you of all people must know how difficult it is to come out in our culture. Lakshmi: I'm on the one where I'm on a lot of pressure from my parents to get married and settle down, and have a family, and I'm going to do it so they don't find out I'm gay. Lakshmi: Nice to meet you too. Lakshmi: That's disappointing. Leonard has his toy, and he's never going to open it, so he won't know it's broken. Raj: Ready for lunch? Raj: Thankyou. Raj: What, you told her? Raj: Yes. Scene: A restaurant. Sheldon: Leonard, Penny, I just, I want you both to know that I regret my actions toward the two of you. Sheldon: Look, it was actually designed for my vintage Mr Spock action figure. Sheldon: My Mr Spock doll came to me in a dream and forced me to open it. Sheldon: My problem is that I don't want you to break Leonard's toy, which you probably did by shaking it. Sheldon: To be played with. Spock: It is not the only logical explanation. The only logical explanation is that this is a dream. This is Bernadette. Wakes up.) We thought you two would hit it off. You broke your toy and switched it with Leonard's. You got him for me? You need to play with the transporter toy.

Summary: After Sheldon complains about Penny's constant mooching of their food, she buys him and Leonard each a mint-condition vintage Star Trek transporter from 1975 with the residual check from her hemorrhoid commercial. She is disappointed when both refuse to take them out of their boxes since they want to preserve the toy's value. That night, Sheldon has a dream where his Spock action figure tells him to open his transporter and play with it. When Sheldon does this, he breaks his transporter accidentally. He then exchanges his broken toy for Leonard's toy, figuring that he will never find out since he does not plan to open his. Later Sheldon has a nightmare where his Spock action figure chastises him for switching the two transporters. When Leonard decides to play with his toy since it is a gift from his girlfriend, Sheldon admits to breaking his toy and switching it with Leonard's. Meanwhile, faced with the prospect of attending Howard's wedding alone, Raj tells his parents to find a suitable girl for him. He meets the prospective bride Lakshmi in a restaurant and both hit it off immediately. It soon turns out that Lakshmi is a lesbian and accepted to meet Raj as it is difficult to come out in Indian culture, but nevertheless decides to marry him as she thinks he is gay. Raj too contemplates marrying her, despite the fact that he is never going to have sex with her, and rebuffs Howard's advice to find some other girl. Finally, Howard and Bernadette give Raj a Yorkie puppy to cheer him up and make him forget about Lakshmi.
