In Howard's old bedroom after dinner, Bernadette wants to know why he does not keep his stuff at their home.

Sheldon shows up at the Cheesecake Factory bar to talk to Penny about women. He wants something more than chamomile tea because he had a rough day. Penny suggests a Long Island iced tea to calm him down. Sheldon says that the trouble is with her gender and that their second X chromosome contains nothing but nonsense and twaddle. Sheldon can't understand why they don't like each other since they are both crazy about him and he likes them. He downs one Long Island iced tea. Penny explains that the problem is not Wil Wheaton; the problem is how he treated Amy. She continues that Amy had been insulted and Sheldon did not stand up for her. They start talking about how those in Texas are supposed to defend their women-folk. Sheldon replies that he has evolved beyond his simple rustic upbringing; however he says: That low down polecat done wronged my woman. (Penny: Welcome to Long Island, Tex.)

He put on a show and asks someone to come up and be his beautiful assistant and she would come up and smile. For a few moments she would forget how lonely she was. Bernadette says "Oh, crap" and starts to get some of his things so that they can spend that night at his mother's house. Howard insists that he wants to live here.
Sheldon stumbles up to Wil Wheaton's door and knocks twice forgetting how many times he had knocked.

Sheldon tells him that he is from Texas and is here to defend his woman's honor. Finally, he remembers that it was two knocks and does his final one. Sheldon puts up his fists to fight Wil who asks if they are really going to fight. Wil apologizes and Sheldon remarks that that was a long bus ride for not very much.
