The episode starts at the comic book store, where Howard is celebrating the launch of his “space toilet” (a special latrine for the ISS) by buying all of his friends new comics. Stuart tells Leonard he is having a second date with Penny and asks for advice. Leonard deliberately avoids Stuart’s request, because he doesn’t want Stuart to go further with Penny. Stuart visits the apartment for “last-minute advice” just before going to see Penny, but Leonard tells him to “go slow” with Penny, hoping that she will dump him. Leonard subsequently feels guilty about giving this advice, however, and goes to apologize to Stuart the next day. Stuart says that Leonard’s advice was perfect – at first. He managed to get Penny drunk and started making out with her, but she accidentally blurted out Leonard’s name. Leonard begins celebrating as soon as he’s out of Stuart’s sight.
Howard, who was earlier celebrating the launch of his space toilet, discovers that he made a “teeny tiny error” that will cause the toilet to fail, dispensing its waste through the ISS (instead of out into space) after ten flushes. He asks Raj and Sheldon to help him construct a fix with materials that are readily available on the ISS. They eventually do throw together a fix. The episode ends with all of the ISS astronauts asking to go on a spacewalk, presumably because their waste has leaked out of the toilet, causing the inside of the station to stink.
