Sheldon invites Wil Wheaton for a special Fun With Flags podcast about Star Trek flags. However Wheaton and Amy don't get along, prompting Amy to request Sheldon to ask Wheaton to leave. When he refuses, she leaves in a huff, creating a standoff between the two. After unsuccessfully trying to make Amy respect Wheaton, he confesses his relationship worries to Penny at the Cheesecake Factory bar, who chides him for not standing up for Amy when Wheaton was insulting her despite being a Texan. In the course of their conversation, he also gets drunk after Penny mischeviously offers him Long Island Iced Tea. Still drunk, he then goes over to Wheaton's house and forces him to apologize to Amy, challenging him Texan style. Wheaton, who is surprised by Sheldon's drunk behavior, does apologize, shortly before Sheldon comes to his senses and vomits in his shrubs. Later Sheldon and Amy, who have now reconciled, reshoot the special podcast with LeVar Burton as the special guest, but Amy doesn't get along with him either.

Meanwhile, Howard finally moves into Bernadette's apartment after Bernadette reminds him of his promise to her that he would move out of his house once he returns from space. While unpacking his things at Bernadette's apartment, he comes across his old magic set. He then reminisces about how he used to cheer up his mother by performing magic tricks after his father left them. On hearing this, Bernadette changes her mind and forces him to move back in with his mother, at least until he doesn't have mother issues.
