Sheldon and Howard have always had a rocky relationship. Sheldon insults Howard and Howard pranks Sheldon, however, on this episode of 'The Big Bang Theory' Bernadette thinks it's time for these two to put aside their differences.

After having a talk with Howard, Bernadette convinces her husband that it's finally time to make peace with Sheldon. Taking her advice Howard goes to Sheldon and apologizes for all of his past pranks. Surprisingly, Sheldon apologizes for all the times he has insulted Howard, followed in typical Sheldon-style by an insult.
