Amy, it's Penny. Amy: All the time. Amy: You're sick of his nonsense and ready to move in with me. Howard: No, not that. I have to break up with my girlfriend. I mean, if you people want to eat at the table, then that's what you should do. Isn't that enough time to get your blood pressure under...
Howard: Look, my blood pressure's too high, okay? Leonard: But the mission wouldn't be for at least a year. Leonard: Hey, Penny and I are gonna go shop for a dining room table. Leonard: Nary an argument? Leonard: Well, he is here. Mike M: You know you're gonna have to go through survival training again. Penny: Oh, Sheldon, wait. Scene: Howard and Bernadette's apartment. Scene: The apartment. Sheldon's breaking up with you. Sheldon: At the bottom. Sheldon: Keep the table. Sheldon: She told you? Sheldon: Which I also figured out by myself. Sorry to disappoint you, but Amy pointed out that you were only trying to manipulate me. The telescope mount I installed on the space station got damaged, and they want me to go back up and fix it. This is the thing about me standing up to him and not letting him run my life?

Summary: Leonard and Penny decide to get a dining table for the apartment so that they no longer have to eat around the coffee table. Sheldon objects to the change, blaming Penny for changing Leonard, though she points out that Amy has changed Sheldon. Unhappy with this and that Amy told her about the kiss, he decides to break up with Amy. Penny alerts Amy, and agrees to break up, but blocks Sheldon's plan by convincing him that Leonard is manipulating him. Amy feeds Sheldon arguments against Leonard, but goes too far when she suggests they move in together. Finally, Amy and Sheldon eat together on the sofa, with the others at the table, until everyone pities Sheldon and all end up back at the coffee table. NASA asks Howard to revisit the International Space Station. He has forgotten his horrible first time, and eagerly wants to return. Bernadette holds an intervention where Howard is reminded he would have to go through survival training again. Howard finds a way out by phoning his mother during his blood pressure test, thus failing his physical.
