Now that Priya has moved back to India, Leonard is trying to maintain the relationship by dating over internet video chat. Since Leonard is having dinner and Priya is having breakfast, Sheldon suggests that they call it a "dinnfast" date.
While Sheldon leaves the apartment to give Leonard some privacy, he finds a comfortable new chair over at Penny's ... only to discover that she found it abandoned on the street. This triggers his obsessive germophobia. He spends the episode attempting to get Penny to throw it out, enlisting Amy's aid in the process.
Based on suggestions from Howard, Leonard begins trying to spice up some of his video chats with Priya. He isn't particularly skilled at video sexy talk. Priya takes charge but video buffering issues ruin the mood. Howard attempts to provide some further help with digital enhancements that would allow tactile sensations at a distance.
