Episode Summary

[x] Remove Ad
Leonard and Penny return from their date (see ending of episode 1-17), but it ends in an odd matter when Penny wants to take things slower. While Leonard is living his normal everyday life, Penny is now worrying if she is smart enough for Leonard, as she has none of the same interests as him, so she seeks advice from Sheldon and even tells him a secret. However, when it turns out Sheldon can’t keep her secret, the relationship between Leonard and Penny may be broken forever.

After Sheldon folds the black and purple socks, he begins to fold a blue T-shirt. The next time we see the blue T-shirt it's all wrinkled on his right side and he begins to fold it again.

Rajesh is watching an Indian movie and Sheldon refers to the actress as Aishwarya Rai. The movie Rajesh is watching is "Kaho Na Pyaar Hai" and the actress is Amisha Patel and NOT Aishwarya Rai.
