Trivia
This episode premiered just five days after the fourth anniversary of Melissa Rauch's first appearance as Bernadette Rostenkowski, thus the anniversary of her and Howard's first date.

Goofs
Sheldon takes a chocolate chip cookie from Leonard's tray in the cafeteria. Leonard is lactose intolerant so he wouldn't have a chocolate chip cookie since chocolate chips contain milk. Also, Sheldon wouldn't touch food that has been touched by another person.

Leonard absolutely can have chocolate chip cookies. Many people who are lactose intolerant can eat or drink small amounts of dairy without an issue. In most, it just causes gas or bloating so even larger amounts, occasionally, aren't an issue. As for Sheldon eating off of Leonard's tray - it was established early on that since Leonard often prepares Sheldon's food at home, Sheldon trusts Leonard and would eat something off his plate.

Quotes

Leonard Hofstadter: Sex doesn't count.
Penny: Oh.

Penny: I know; what about that bed and breakfast?
Leonard Hofstadter: Well, I took you there. All you did wa...
Penny: I know what I did.
[pause]
Penny: I bet they had to throw out that rocking chair.

Crazy credits
CHUCK LORRE PRODUCTIONS, #427

I went to the movies today. While standing in line to buy a ticket I noticed a sign on the ticket booth window that indicated I was eligible for a senior discount. For some reason I was surprised. I don't know why. I'd been eligible for quite some time, but until that moment I'd never once considered availing myself of this somewhat dubious perk. Anyway, I jokingly pointed out to the young girl in the ticket booth that I was indeed old enough to be treated as a senior. She nodded and proceeded to give me the discount. I asked if she wanted to see proof of age. She glanced at me, shrugged and said, "Nope." The movie was a comedy, but I was in no mood to laugh. I just sat there and sulked until I fell asleep.

Howard sets up a celebration for the anniversary of he and Bernie's first date. Penny wants to do something romantic for Leonard but can't fathom how to do it. There's a lot of sweet stuff here.
