It's been a long time since I saw Big Bang Theory. I had pretty much just forgotten about the show since the last season ended. My feelings about the show mutate with nearly every episode, and I constantly feel disappointed. But I keep watch for the occasional bit that feels good.
Sheldon has an anniversary date with Amy. This is as painful as it sounds. Amy wants to have a certain amount of romance, and Sheldon doesn't want to have anything to do with it. he ultimately keeps her from walking out by quoting a line from Spider-Man.
Leonard and Penny also have a peculiar night in, but it's nowhere near as unpalatable as Sheldon and Amy. Leonard wants the two of them to work through their issues, and put their relationship in order. Penny isn't comfortable with that. No further development here.
Raj is actually just a common thread to allow them to present these distinct stories. They close off Raj's night by having him stop by the comic shop, where he invites Stuart to join their clique at a movie the next night.
There's an implication that Stuart is gay (just as there have been implications of Raj being gay). Stuart is another painful character. He exists only to give self-depreciating remarks about how unsuccessful he is, and how lonely he is. He's Moe, but without any of the fun.
