9* DatePeepers: Penny and Bernadette (and Leonard, to a lesser extent) to Amy and Dave.
10* {{Fanboy}}: Dave turns out to be one for Sheldon, much to Amy's chagrin.
11* JarPotty: When Leonard asks to go to the bathroom, Bernadette hands him a bottle to pee in.
12* MinorFlawMajorBreakup: A woman actually answers Sheldon's ad and the two seem to hit it off. Then Sheldon rejects her for arriving two minutes after the deadline, and for finding atomic spectroscopy boring.
13** Though this can be read as Sheldon using an excuse to reject her because he still isn't over Amy. Knowing Sheldon, either interpretation is reasonable.
14* OnlySmartPeopleMayPass: Howard and Raj develop a complicated quiz for Sheldon's prospective dates to answer.
