Leonard cheated on Penny by kissing his colleague Mandy Chow during a research trip at sea, which he confessed to her in the Season 8 finale ("The Commitment Determination") while they were on their way to get married in Las Vegas, causing a major conflict just before their wedding.
During the season, Kaley Cuoco's character, Penny, was absent from the fifth and sixth episodes after Cuoco fell off a horse and broke her leg.
Technically only one aka the Bowling Alley Incident, but if you want to get nitpicky about it then you could say two with Penny pulling the brakes after that first date when she got it in her head - thanks for helping with that Sheldon - that Leonard would get bored of her for not being educated or academically smart.
Sheldon Cooper: So we multiply 193... minus 21 men before the loss of virginity... so 172 times 0.18 gives us 30.96 sexual partners.

In The Big Bang Theory Season 3, Episode 8, "The Adhesive Duck Deficiency," the guys go camping for a meteor shower, but Sheldon's alone with Penny, who dislocates her shoulder and needs his help, leading to classic Sheldon-Penny interaction as he sings "Soft Kitty" and deals with her injury, while the guys have a "spiritual" experience (hallucinations from "special" cookies) in the desert.
Rajesh Koothrappali (Raj) from “The Big Bang Theory” represents a solid case of social anxiety disorder. In earlier seasons of the show, Koothrappali's social anxiety cripples him by rendering him speechless around women who aren't members of his family.
Sheldon's dad, George Cooper Sr., died from an unexpected, fatal heart attack in the final season of Young Sheldon, fulfilling the canon established in The Big Bang Theory, where Sheldon mentioned his father died when he was 14 years old. The death, which occurred off-screen but was delivered as news to the family, serves as a pivotal, heartbreaking moment connecting the prequel series to the original, highlighting the sudden loss and impact on the Cooper family.
Penny says that she had intercourse with Raj purely because she was drunk and that it was a mistake. She tells him that she wants to go back the way they were - as friends, which Raj accepts. Before they end the discussion, he claims to her that they didn't have sex in the "conventional sense."
After years of people begging for the big reveal, it's been made clear that this wasn't simply an oversight. With all the hype surrounding Penny's last name, the Big Bang Theory producers made an executive decision that her surname was going to have to remain an unsolved mystery that could keep fans up at night.
At the same time, there are several signs of deeper emotional affection between the two. In "The 21-Second Excitation", Penny reveals to Amy and Bernadette that she considers Leonard "a great guy", and only broke up with him because she was not yet ready for a serious relationship.
In Season 4, Kaley Cuoco wasn't able to make a full return to work even outside the two episodes where Penny was written out. The actress had a cast on her leg for a while following her recovery from surgery. If Penny had returned and been suddenly in a cast, the writers would've had to address the injury to audiences.
Kaley Cuoco isn't letting carpal tunnel syndrome keep her from getting some exercise. In a video shared to personal trainer Ryan Sorenson's Instagram account Monday, Cuoco opened up about her injury and how she's found a way to still get a killer workout in without the use of her hands.
Katie was deemed a poor fit for the original Big Bang Theory cast due to her harsh nature towards Sheldon and Leonard, unlike Penny. Amanda Walsh, who played Katie, had minor roles before Tbbt and saw the show as a career-defining moment despite being ultimately replaced.
Their interactions gave fans some of the show's most iconic moments: “Soft Kitty,” laundry night debates, and the surprisingly sweet “I love you, too” from Sheldon in Season 2. But behind those scenes, Jim Parsons and Kaley Cuoco developed a real-life friendship that was anything but scripted.
George's tragic passing was kept off-screen to maintain the show's lighthearted tone and surprise viewers until the end.
Sheldon definitely was grieving and he regretted not talking to his dad more or going with him on his dad's last day. Also, he became more withdrawn and isolated, something of which his family didn't notice. I hate it when people accuse him of not having feelings because he didn't openly show his grief to others.
As mentioned by Sheldon, the Koothrappalis' are "half-way between Bruce Wayne and Scrooge McDuck". Extrapolating data from the Forbes Fictional 15, the Koothrappalis' wealth would be about $37.3 billion.
Even though Parsons had no issues related to his weight prior to heading into Tbbt's production, the actor willingly resorted to an extremely restrictive low-carb diet in order to become more healthy. Moreover, the actor also dropped drinking alcohol for nine years, despite not having any history of alcohol abuse.
In the United States the season aired on Thursdays at 9:00 pm ET on The CW television network.
