At the Big Bang Theory's season finale, we witnessed the union of Howard and Bernadette. Afterwards, he was sent off to space.
This season opens with the guys, sans Howard, at the comic store. Stuart, our friendly comic book guy still could not believe how awesome Howard's life is at the moment. Even Sheldon admits to a tinge of envy thinking that Howard's looking through a window and is seeing the majesty of the universe from outer space.
Howard, meanwhile, is at the space station speaking to his mother. She wants to talk to Howard about him and Bernadette moving out of the house to live on their own. His mother is disappointed about it, having to live with each other for what seemed like forever. Because of it, Howard says his entire space trip is now ruined.
Back on Earth, Leonard and Sheldon talks about anthropic principle. Since Howard isn't there for Sheldon to belittle, he resorts to ridicule Leonard instead, having the humblest position amongst them three physicists. Raj comes in and invites them to a spa night. However, Leonard refuses because he'll be hanging with Penny that night. Sheldon declines his invitation as well, telling Raj about his anniversary date with Amy. Raj went on about his life being alone and Sheldon instead invites him to join him on his date with Amy.
Bernadette calls Howard and tells him about her talk with Howard's mom. Bernadette just found out that Howard never mentioned to his mom about them moving out of his mom's house, upsetting his mom, which in turn upsets Bernadette. She threatens Howard to fix the mess he created between Bernadette and his mom or she won't do you-know-what to him when he comes home from space.
Sheldon and Amy goes to their date, surprising Amy upon finding out that Raj will be joining them as third wheel. Sheldon tells her that he found a loophole in their relationship agreement, therefore allowing him to bring Raj to their date without violating any rule in the contract. So he outsourced his role to engage in a conversation to Raj, pissing Amy even more. She confronts Sheldon in front of Raj, making Raj realize that it's actually their second anniversary. Raj feels guilty, tries to make up for it by buying them champagne. Unfortunately, he still doesn't get a clue on how angry and disappointed Amy is, so he stays for the rest of the date.
Leonard and Penny hangs in the boys' apartment to make up for all the awkwardness that's going on between them since the night he proposed while having sex. Leonard prepared all her favorites so they can watch sports together. Penny thinks it's awesome and it made up for the crappy day she had. Leonard ruins it by asking Penny about where exactly are they in their relationship. Raj comes home a bit drunk and wants to hang with him and Penny on their date instead since he doesn't wanna mess up Sheldon and Amy's anniversary date.
At the space station, Howard's mom calls him about something important that Bernadette says he's gonna tell his mom. So he tells his mom that he is going to leave her home so he could start his life with Bernadette. His mom didn't take it nicely and cries on the phone, making Howard feel guilty. He tells his mom that he'll talk to Bernie about it. His mom now thinks that it's Bernadette's idea and suddenly becomes furious.
Back at Leonard and Penny's date, Leonard gets pissed and wants to kick Raj out of the house so he could have a proper talk with Penny. Drunk Raj then lectures them about their relationship. He gives them a very sensible advise. Raj finds out that Penny has never said "I love you" to Leonard ever since and he forces her to say it while looking at Leonard's eyes. Penny gets mad and kicks him out of their date at the apartment.
Amy gets drunk and tries to seduce Sheldon. Sheldon doesn't buy it and Amy gets mad, storming out of their date. She gives him an ultimatum to say something meaningful and from the heart, or she breaks up with him. Sheldon then tells her that whenever they look into each other's eyes, everything feels not quite normal. That he feels "stronger and weaker at the same time"and "excited and at the same time, terrified". Amy was so touched, until he tells her that he was quoting the first Spiderman movie.
Now that Raj has nowhere to go, having kicked out of both couples' dates, he goes to the comic book store. He walks in to see Stuart. He's about to close up, but still invites him in to hang out. Stuart invites him to drink coffee liquor in a Chewbacca mug. Stuart and Raj finds company on each other, after finding out that they both are lonely persons drinking and doing most things alone. Later on, Raj invites Stuart to hang out the next day. At first, Stuart hesitates as he is low on funds, but finally says yes when Raj tells him it's his treat.
The last scene shows Howard talking to Bernie about his conversation with his mom. Dimitri butts in after the call, letting Howard realize that he both lied to his mom and his wife. He asks Howard what he's gonna do about it when he comes back home. Howard answers that he's never coming back.

Howard: Who is it?
Dimitri: A woman who says she's your mother but she sounds like your father.
Howard: Hey Ma! You know, we could see each other if you'd turn on the computer...
Mrs. Wolowitz: I'm not going near that fakakta thing! I'll catch a computer virus.
Howard: You can't catch a computer virus.
Mrs. Wolowitz: Oh so now you're an astronaut AND a doctor?!
