The episode is one the best because it uses the story line it should have kept instead of making a wrong turn and making Penny and Leonard a couple.
The show provides a lot of laughs when a good-looking scientist visits and swoops up Penny while leaving Leonard to fret about the guy doing what he would like to do with Penny.
When this episode is compared with the last couple of seasons, it is easy to see why the show is a shadow of itself. Making Leonard and Penny a couple eliminated story lines that could parade various boyfriends through Penny's apartment and banished some of the best secondary characters like Zack because they do not fit since there is no room for Penny having a boyfriend.
