Sheldon invites Wil Wheaton for a special Fun With Flags podcast about Star Trek flags. Wil and Amy don't get on, so she demands Sheldon ask Wil to go. Sheldon refuses, so she leaves in a huff. After failing to make Amy respect Wil, Sheldon admits his relationship concerns to Penny at the Cheesecake Factory bar. She chides the Texan Sheldon for not standing up for Amy when Wil insulted her, and mischievously gets him drunk on Long Island Iced Tea. He visits Wil and tells him Texan style to apologize to Amy. Wil, surprised by this drunken behavior, does apologize, shortly before Sheldon vomits in the shrubs and comes to his senses. He and Amy, now reconciled, reshoot the podcast with LeVar Burton as the special guest, but Amy cannot get on with him either. Meanwhile, Howard moves into Bernadette's apartment after she reminds him he promised to move out of his house on returning from space. While unpacking at Bernadette's, he finds his old magic set and reminisces on performing magic tricks to cheer up his mother after his father left them. So a sympathetic Bernadette insists on them sleeping over at his mother's house from time to time to remind her that she is not alone.
