Leonard and Penny decide to get a dining room table for the apartment so that they no longer have to eat in the living room where someone is always sitting on the floor. While picking out the table, Penny suggests that maybe Leonard should try to be more assertive in handling the disagreements he and Sheldon have. Sheldon objects to the change blaming Penny who has changed Leonard. They point out people change in relationships and that Amy has changed Sheldon. Unhappy with this and the fact that Amy told Penny about the kiss, he decides to break up with Amy. Amy, who has been alerted, agrees with Sheldon to break up but stops his plan by manipulating him into thinking Leonard is just trying to make him forget about the table. Leonard points out buying the couch was a change that gave Sheldon the spot he loves so much. Amy suggests Sheldon could move in with her, and Sheldon decides to keep the table. Finally, Amy and Sheldon eat together in the living room with the others at the table, and despite Leonard saying Sheldon is a baby, the others go back to the living room out of pity. Sheldon smiles and says that sometimes the baby wins.
