Staring at a plate of turkey and mashed potatoes, Raj picks up his fork and drags it across his plate. Drawing several swirls in his potatoes he then takes a fork full, about to put it in his mouth and drops it back down on his plate. Sad and broken he slouches in his chair rubbing his hand through his hair, just as Howard, Leonard, and Sheldon walk up and sit down.

"How're you doing, buddy?" Howard asks.

"I don't feel like being bothered, I just want to eat alone." Raj says about to leave the table. Howard in an attempt to talk to him pulls him back down into his seat.

"Look, we're sorry about what happened the other night, but you have to talk to us. How long do you plan on ignoring us?"

"Raj, I really tried to be nice and welcome Leslie." Leonard says. "I don't have a problem with her at all, but Penny's my girlfriend...and you don't want your girlfriend upset with you."

"At least you still have a girlfriend. My girlfriend broke up with me because all of my friends are asses."

"I guess I owe you an apology also," Sheldon says. "I did enjoy Leslie's lecture but I let our lifelong feud get in the way."

"Lifelong feud? You've only know her a few years." Raj reminds him.

Leslie walks past the table refusing to make eye contact with any of the guys sitting there. She takes her coffee and salad and sits alone at a small table on the corner of the room. Raj watches her, wanting to say something to her but is afraid she won't want to speak to him.

"Excuse me." He says to his friends as he grabs his tray and slowly makes his way across the cafeteria to the little table in the corner.

"Leslie, can we talk...please?' He asks as he sits down at the table with her.

"Raj, this isn't the time." Leslie says.

Raj tries to take Leslie's hand, but she pulls it away. "I'm gonna go eat in the lab." She says as she grabs her food and walks out of the cafeteria.

Raj sits alone at the table and slumps down into the chair. Howard, Feeling sorry for his friend walks over and sits down with him.

"What did she say." He asks.

"She doesn't want to talk now. She went to eat in the lab."

"Just give her some time, she'll come around."

"I think I'm going to go talk to her."

"Just leave her alone. She will talk when she's ready."

"I'm gonna go back to my office." Raj says as he gets up and leaves the cafeteria.

Howard watches him go, and then goes back and sits with Leonard and Sheldon.

"I don't know what else to say to him." Howard says

"Maybe we should talk to Leslie and apologize. Hopefully she'll listen to us.

"Raj said she went to eat in the lab, you want to go now?"

"Yeah, let's go."

Howard and Leonard stand and get ready to walk to the lab to talk to Leslie when Leonard realizes that Sheldon is still sitting at the table.

"Sheldon, come on."

"Oh, no thanks. I would rather sit here and finish my lunch."

"Come on Sheldon." Howard urges. "Our friend is hurting and we all caused it. We need to fix this."

"You two go ahead, maybe I'll catch up."

"Fine, suit yourself."

Leonard and Howard leave Sheldon and continue to walk to the lab to see Leslie. When they get there they see Leslie sitting at a lab table eating her salad. Leonard starts to walk in and knocks on the door. Startled by the knocking, Leslie jumps and turns around to see Leonard and Howard walking in. She rolls her eyes, lets out a sigh and turns back around without saying a word.

"Hey Leslie..." Leonard says waiting for a response.

"Hi Leslie, can we talk to you for a minute?" Howard asks.

"So now you guys want to talk to me? I guess its okay now that Penny and Bernadette aren't around." Leslie sneers at the two.

"Look, we're really sorry about that." Howard says. "You know we don't have a problem with you, the ladies were just feeling a little insecure. Everybody feels bad about how we treated you."

"Yeah, ok." Leslie says unimpressed.

"And Raj is really torn up about all of this. He laid into all of us after you left the other day. Like Howard said we are all really sorry about everything and we definitely don't want you to take it out on Raj." Leonard says.

"Look, I was already having second thoughts from the beginning considering my past with the two of you. And you two know that I really don't do serious relationships... maybe this is why. It's just not worth the emotional investment." Leslie says. "Now if you guys will excuse me I have a lot of work to do today and I would like to finish my lunch."

"Alright, we'll talk to you later. Howard says as he walks towards the door.

Leslie gives a sarcastic wave and once again rolls her eyes and continues to eat. Leonard starts to walk out and then stops and turns back to Leslie.

"Um, Howard I need to talk to Leslie alone for a minute. I'll catch up to you later." He says.

"Alright." Howard says before walking out the door.

"Look Leonard, I just want to eat in peace...is that too much to ask?" Leslie says growing impatient.

"I just want to talk to you one on one and apologize for everything. I want to apologize for what I said the night we went to the salsa class, and I definitely want to apologize for everything that went on the other night. I feel like I'm responsible for this mess. I know that I said that I didn't want you and Raj together and I was being selfish, to be honest I think the two of you make a great couple and you seem to bring the best out of each other. You guys are my friends and I feel really bad about hurting both of you. I just wanted to tell you that." Leonard says looking to Leslie for approval. Leslie turns away from Leonard without acknowledging anything he said. Leonard looks down and quietly walks out of the lab.
