Removed plot for ep 10 since it has its own article. Believe it's easier to just have one place to maintain future edits, instead of two which could evolve different

|ShortSummary = While at the comic book store, Stuart is introduced to Amy, who accompanies the guys and is revealed to be bored by comic books. Stuart immediately develops a crush on her and proceeds to ask Leonard about the current state of Sheldon and Amy's relationship. He then gets Leonard to check if Sheldon is fine with him asking her out. Sheldon depicts the scenario as moot, assuming that a renowned neurobiologist like Amy would never be interested in a guy like Stuart anyway. When Leonard and Sheldon return to the comic book store, they meet Dale, who replaces Stuart while Stuart is out having coffee ''with a girl''. Sheldon, knowing that the girl must be Amy, conceals his true feelings and repeatedly states that he doesn't care, although actions like friending Stuart on Facebook (despite having disapproved of the site before) to spy on him and asking Penny out on a date to make Amy jealous suggest otherwise. After talking to Penny, he interrupts Amy and Stuart during a movie to change the paradigm of their relationship. He hesitantly asks Amy to be his girlfriend, which she gladly accepts. When Sheldon presents her a "relationship agreement", she is delighted and calls it very romantic. Amy later feels that she should've gotten a lawyer, when she finds out that her obligations as a girlfriend include taking care of her boyfriend's injuries. But nevertheless, they continue their relationship as boyfriend and girlfriend.
|ShortSummary = While at the comic book store, Stuart is introduced to Amy, who he later asks on a date.

Meanwhile, the guys find out that a new expansion pack for Mystic Warlords of Ka'a called "Wild West and Witches" has come out, which they initially turn down because of its theme and the price, but eventually buy after an argument about who would win in a fight between [[Billy the Kid]] and the Wizard of the North. Leonard also tries to return the new Mystic Warlords of Ka'a expansion pack, but Raj goes out to buy the "deluxe limited edition" of the pack in a collector's tin. Leonard once again turns it down, but then ends up buying it, while being annoyed with himself for doing so.

List of episodes

This is a list of episodes for the fifth season of the American sitcom The Big Bang Theory, which began airing on CBS on September 22, 2011.[1]

Cast

Main article: List of The Big Bang Theory characters
  • Leonard Hofstadter, Ph.D., portrayed by Johnny Galecki, is an experimental physicist with an IQ of 173 who received his Ph.D when he was 24 years old. He shares an apartment with colleague and friend, Sheldon Cooper. He and Penny dated at one point during the series, but they have since broken up.
  • Sheldon Cooper, Ph.D., portrayed by Jim Parsons, is a theoretical physicist. Originally from East Texas, he was a child prodigy, starting college at the age of 11, right after completing the fifth grade. He has an IQ of 187 and exhibits a strict adherence to routine; a lack of understanding of irony, sarcasm, and humor; and a complete lack of humility or basic empathy.
  • Penny, portrayed by Kaley Cuoco, is the attractive, blonde neighbor who lives across the hall from Sheldon and Leonard. She has aspirations to an acting career, but has not been particularly successful thus far, only boasting a few small roles as well as a part in a hemorrhoid commercial. To pay the bills, she works as a waitress at The Cheesecake Factory. She and Leonard dated during season 3 and broke up. In the finale episode of Season 4, she was thought to have slept with Raj after drinking, but Raj revealed to her they didn't. During season 5, Penny begins to date Leonard again. Her last name has never been revealed.
  • Howard Wolowitz, M.Eng., portrayed by Simon Helberg, works as an aerospace engineer. He is Jewish, and lives with his mother. Unlike Sheldon, Leonard, and Raj, Howard lacks a Ph.D. He defends this by pointing out that he has a master's degree in Engineering from MIT and the apparatuses he designs are actually built and launched into space, unlike the purely abstract work of his friends. He provides outrageous pick-up lines and fancies himself a ladies man with suitably unimpressed reactions from Penny. Though he finds that he has limited success with other women at first, he begins dating Bernadette in season 3, but they break up; they get back together in the Season 4 episode "The Hot Troll Deviation", and become engaged in the episode "The Herb Garden Germination".
  • Rajesh Koothrappali, Ph.D., portrayed by Kunal Nayyar, is an astrophysicist originally from New Delhi, India. Known commonly as "Raj", he works alongside Sheldon exploring the string theory implications of gamma rays from dark matter annihilations. He is very shy around women and is physically unable to talk to them unless he drinks alcohol. Despite this, he has much better luck with women than his overly confident best friend Howard. His sister, Priya, dates Leonard in Seasons 4 & 5.
  • Bernadette Rostenkowski, Ph.D., portrayed by Melissa Rauch, is a waitress and co-worker of Penny paying her way through graduate school microbiology studies. Bernadette is introduced to Howard by Penny. At first she and Howard do not get along, as they appear to have nothing in common. When they find out that they both have overbearing mothers, however, they feel a connection. She was upgraded to main cast status in the episode "The Hot Troll Deviation", in which she and Howard revisit their previously unsuccessful relationship. She and Howard get engaged, and much comical fodder is created through similarities between Bernadette & Mrs. Wolowitz.
  • Amy Farrah Fowler, Ph.D., portrayed by Mayim Bialik, Ph.D., is a woman Raj and Howard meet on an online dating site using a fake account for Sheldon. She is very similar to Sheldon, except that she is more open to social interaction and thus more susceptible to conventional behaviour. She becomes close friends with Sheldon, prompting regular assertions from him that she is a girl and is his friend, but she is not his girlfriend. However, she finally became his girlfriend when Sheldon decides to change the course of their relationship after he becomes jealous when Amy goes out on a date with comic book store owner Stuart Bloom. Amy also forms a quirky friendship with Penny, whom Amy frequently refers to as her "bestie".
