Amy tells Sheldon that Penny might not be Leonard's girlfriend for too much longer, but Sheldon must not tell Leonard. Predictably, Sheldon is torn between his need to blab and Amy's request not to blab.

Sheldon tries to tell Leonard but doesn't quite exactly. Then he goes talk to Penny in the middle of the night, asking her not to hurt his friend, and to go back to using her green apple shampoo.

The next day, Leonard goes talk to Penny, worried that she might dump him. But instead she has sex with him.
