- When Howard hooks up with Penny's old friend, his absence in the gang causes problems for the rest of the guys.
- Penny receives an unwanted visitor from Nebraska named Christy. In Penny's eyes, Christy is a loose woman with no morals. Hence, Christy is ripe for the picking by Howard. As Howard and Christy have a spontaneous get together using Penny's bedroom, Penny decides to ask Leonard and Sheldon if she can sleep overnight at their place, which elicits different responses from Leonard and Sheldon. Beyond Penny's sleeping problem, Howard hooking up with Christy causes more issues. First, Leonard, Sheldon and Raj are now missing a fourth in their regular activities. And second, they can all see that Christy is only using Howard. They have to figure out how to get Howard back.—Huggo
- Penny's promiscuous acquaintance Christy (Brooke D'Orsay) from Omaha, Nebraska, "kind of family" since she slept with Penny's brother whilst engaged to her cousin, arrives to visit Penny indefinitely, and immediately beds Howard in Penny's apartment which the pair take over. Penny is disgusted as Christy and Howard have sex in her bed.
Penny replaces Howard as a Halo 3 player and displays natural talent, to Sheldon's disbelief. She responds by blowing up Sheldon's game character multiple times during the game, causing Sheldon to quit the game commenting that "nobody can be that attractive and talented at video games at the same time"
To avoid the noisy "lovers", Penny sleeps on Leonard and Sheldon's couch that night (after Sheldon explains his morning bathroom schedule and tells Penny which way to sleep on the couch - feet pointing towards the door). As Penny retires for the night, the camera pans to Raj, whom everyone had forgotten and who slowly and quietly exits the apartment Next day Sheldon complains to Leonard about missing Dr Who on TV at 6:15 am on a Saturday since Penny is sleeping on the couch. Meanwhile Penny wakes up due to the commotion and is angry at being woken up so early Howard (wearing Penny's robe, and having admitted to using Penny's loofah and having sex on her collection of care bears) invites Christy to move in with him (and his mother), taking up all of Sheldon's Dr Who's time (Penny warns Howard that Christy will sleep with anyone till they keep buying her stuff. Howard cashes his Bar Mitzvah bonds to buy her stuff).
Distraught at the odd number in the group (they need pairs of players to play Halo 3), Sheldon invites Penny to play Halo again, but she prefers to go dancing with her friends instead
The guys believe their group is falling apart and go to speak to Howard. There they hear Howard's mother (Carol Ann Susi) arguing loudly with Christy (Howard's mother calls Christy a Gold Digger, but Christy is not willing to back down either), causing her to leave. Howard, single again, goes to play Halo with the guys, and the group is restored, completely ignoring Penny and her three attractive dancing friends who briefly appear at the door and offer to have sex with them. Penny uses this experiment to demonstrate to her friends that the guys are big nerds who would rather prefer video gaming over a group of sexy females throwing themselves at them for sex..
Title reference: The scene where Leonard, Sheldon, and Raj are at the Chinese restaurant and do not know what to do with the spare dumpling which Howard would normally have eaten. The group discusses various options like going for Indian food (which Raj dislikes), or not ordering dumplings (but the waiter dismisses that idea saying eliminations from the normal order are not allowed either) The waiter offers to drop a dumpling on the way, but Sheldon says he would know.. They cant order soup either as the same issue is there with Wontons.
