Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaSheldon's statement that unresolved issues are like an itch in his brain that he cannot scratch would explain a lot about his obsessive compulsive need for closure seen throughout the series, and described in The Closure Alternative (2013).
- GoofsIt is well established that Sheldon is incapable of lying, keeping secrets or deceiving anyone (The Loobenfeld Decay; The Irish Pub Formulation; etc...). However, in this episode he manages to keep the fact that he paid for the DVD secret for seven years.It totally goes against his character. Perhaps, it it's also in his character to get one over on someone, obey the rules, and proving himself the victor.

Featured review
One of the worst episodes of Season 7
The episode was so bland and very mean spirited.
Sheldon being mean to Leonard was downright cruel
The Raj and Lucy story didn't really go anywhere.
