A pregnant Bernadette is forced to spend her evening with Sheldon, while the gang goes out drinking. At the bar, Penny runs into her ex-boyfriend Jack, and he will hit on Raj's girlfriend, Claire. As per the latest promo for the episode, Penny tells everyone, "If you guys are free this weekend, I won a night of wine tasting from work."

Leonard says, "That sounds fun," and complains, "How come we scientist don't win free stuff like sales people do?" To which Howard replies, "Because we are not in it for the stuff, we are in it for the groupies."

Sheldon then joins the discussion and says, "Personally, I find the notion of external reward demeaning. I pursue science for the intrinsic joy of discovery." But Amy criticises him and says, "But you always say that you want to win a Nobel prize." And an annoyed Sheldon replies, "I also say that don't contradict me in front of my friend, but that you don't remember."

Rajesh agrees to go, while Sheldon declines Penny's offer and adds, "Wine again? No thank you. I like my grapes the old-fashioned way, in a juice box."

But Amy decides that she will go. Howard also joins the gang, leaving Bernadette behind.

Further, Sheldon says, "Well Bernadette looks like Saturday night, it's you and me!"

While the rest of the gang go wine tasting, Bernadette will spend her evening with Dr Cooper.
