Lorre & Prady wrote this story that became Aronsohn & Glickman's teleplay.  Howard begins a fling with Penny's visiting slutty frenemy, which throws the geek foursome off balance, especially when Leonard invites Penny to sleep over.

Kimberly D. Brooks, who provides the voice of the Automated Cell Phone, would later twice do the voice for a computer.  Carol Ann Susi, who was Ginger on Who's the Boss?, does the voice of Wolowitz's mother Debbie for the first of forty times.  (She died in 2014.)  James Hong, who's Chen the waiter for the first of two times, also did Who's the Boss?, as Thomas Ping, and he played a nameless man on The Bob Newhart Show, Peking Tom on Soap, and a different Waiter on Ellen; in fact his career goes back to the '50s and he was 78 at this point.  And, with the boost of his time on Roseanne, Johnny Galecki has now reached his 100th of my shows.
