This Lorre & Prady story, turned into a Aronsohn & Prady teleplay, introduces Sheldon's twin sister Missy, who's as tall as he is but gorgeous. Courtney Henggeler is actually quite good in the role, and it's a surprise that she's never returned in the almost decade since. She's not a genius but she is a lot better at assessing people than "Shelly" is. All three of Sheldon's friends want to go out with her, so Leonard tries to make a genetic argument that Sheldon should have some say in who his sister mates with, but Missy sets Sheldon straight. It's also nice to see Penny actually interact with another woman. I understand that more of the regular cast would become female over time, but the imbalance is glaring in the first season, and this is definitely a series from a particular male perspective, where women have to point out that they're people.
