In the episode, Amy and Sheldon are cuddling and kissing on the couch. Sheldon is thinking about his girlfriend and whether he should start investing his time watching the new Flash television series.

Meanwhile, Sheldon asks Leonard and Penny for relationship advice, and ends up convincing them that they are taking their relationship too slow, and that they have made no wedding plans.
