45 days ago, um, I embarked on a railroad journey of healing because my university was making me do string theory, and my favorite comic book store burned down, and when my room mate got engaged, my girlfriend wanted to move in with me, which was no doubt a ploy just to see my, well, excuse my language, but my bathing suit parts. A grown man in his thirties living with my mother. Amy: Sheldon, it's okay with me that you're not perfect. As soon as we get home, I want to have coitus with Amy. At the hot dog stand in the Indianapolis train station? Bernadette: Hey, don't you take that sarcastic tone with him. Dan: Wll, she is. How could you just go away like that without even saying good-bye, and then call Leonard for help instead of me? Howard: He was, but now that her cast is off, he moved out. Howard: I mean, he calls her Debbie, she calls him Stewie and they're all giggly around each other. Howard: It is. I'm ready to deal with any changes that come my way. Leonard: He got all of his stuff stolen. Leonard: Just tell her. Penny: I cannot believe you travelled the entire country and never left the train station. Penny: I don't have any experience in sales. Penny: Is he okay? Raj: It wouldn't kill you to pick up the phone. Raj: She feeds him out of her own mouth? Sheldon... Sheldon: Amy just hurt my feelings. Sheldon: I called Leonard because I failed. You're not his father, he's not your father. [SCENE_BREAK]

Summary: Forty-five days after leaving Pasadena, Sheldon finds himself in a train station in Kingman, Arizona with all of his possessions (and his pants) stolen. He calls Leonard to pick him up, and Leonard takes Amy with him. Heading home, Sheldon says that he never left any of the train stations during his journey. Amy is hurt he left without telling her, and that he called Leonard for help. Sheldon is not happy that she is there, and says he did not call her because he was too embarrassed to admit that he could not make it on his own; Amy accepts that he is not perfect. Sheldon thinks his trip was worthwhile because it has left him ready to deal with change, but as soon as he sees Penny's new haircut he immediately walks out of the apartment. Bernadette gets Penny a job interview with her pharmaceutical company as a salesperson, though Penny is very nervous about it, having no experience in sales. She does horribly in the interview, but gets the job anyway, after bonding with the interviewer over their shared fear of Bernadette. Howard and Raj find Stuart still living with Howard's mother even though she has recovered, which is very unsettling to Howard.
