Quotes
Notes and Trivia
Near the end of the episode, when Penny is telling Leonard that she supports his decision, the front of the refrigerator is clearly visible behind Penny. Attached to the freezer door are two pictures of Leonard and Penny. One is of them in her apartment on her couch. The other appears to be a still image from The Nerdvana Annihilation (2008). It shows Leonard, without his glasses, holding Penny in the elevator shaft. Other items on the refrigerator include a periodic table, the apartment's official flag, post-it notes, a notepad, and multiple take-out menus.
Title reference: Zack asks Leonard to be a sperm donor so that he and his wife can "propagate" (reproduce).
