The Leonard and Priya relationship finally ran its course when Leonard takes a liking to a wanna-be comic book artist. The humorous irony is that he turns to Penny for advice, thinking that his closest male friends aren't qualified and rightly so. Penny knows what kind of person Leonard is, and would hate to see him not do the right thing. We could completely understand Sheldon turning down another woman, even before he and Amy became a more conventional couple, or turning down sex entirely, but Leonard doesn't come off as sympathetic while he berates himself for backing out of a night of carnal bliss with Alice. And then he compounds it by striking out with Priya. Sheldon, meanwhile, is baffled by yet another form of social interaction around Halloween. Despite one failed effort after another, he finally gets the last laugh with Leonard. Through a twist fate, this episode aired opposite one of the most memorable World Series games when the St. Louis Cardinals dropped a huge *BAZINGA* on the Texas Rangers.
