- TriviaThe jewelry store in this episode is named Frank and Sons. Frank and Sons is a giant comic book, toy and collectibles market open on Wednesdays and Saturdays in the City of Industry, just outside Los Angeles.
- GoofsIn season 5, Sheldon states that he has a fondness for Koala bears. While Sheldon is apparently not fond of biology, someone as intelligent as he is and as fond of koalas as he is would surely know better than to call a koala a "koala bear". It is a marsupial, not a bear.

Amy Farrah Fowler: OHHH, IT'S A TIARA! A tiara! I have a tiara!
[to Penny, talking quickly as she dashes around the room]
Amy Farrah Fowler: Put it on me! Put it on me! Put it on me! Put it on me! Put it on me! Put it on me! Put it on me!
Penny: [helps her put it on] You... look... beautiful.
Amy Farrah Fowler: [Yelling happily] OF COURSE I DO, I AM A PRINCESS AND THIS IS MY TIARA!

Sheldon Cooper: [after he slowly, but not uncomfortably, puts his arms around her, to Penny straight-faced] You were right. A tiara was too much.

This episode was funny without a doubt. but the jokes aren't 'smart' these couple of episodes. too many characters to be seen in 20 minutes which made Leonard and raj near to invisible this episode. Howard isn't gross and disgusting ( though funny ) anymore. Bernadette used to be funny. Now she is taking the role of Howard's mom, which is making her more annoying.
perhaps this is on purpose. making the social awkward geeks more social. but they shouldn't forget raj. he is still there but nothing has been done with him.
