Later, Sheldon is relaying this to his mother, and suddenly comes up with the concept of super asymmetry.
13* ExtremeDoormat: Mr. Fowler, who is never given a chance to speak by his domineering wife. His only spoken line is when he thanks Penny for standing up to Mrs. Fowler.

15* OpinionFlipFlop: Denise politely turns down Stuart's invitation to be his wedding date, citing the awkwardness of crossing romantic potential with their employer/employee relationship...until she finds out that Mark Hamill will be there.
