Viewers learned from the first episode that Leonard had strong feelings for Penny.
The two of them being neighbors really gave them a fighting chance in their relationship.
From neighbors, they became friends, and that friendship soon grew into love.
However, these two had their fair share of ups and downs throughout 12 seasons.
Leonard may have done some incredibly nice things for Penny but he also hurt her many times.
She eventually quits her job as a waitress to focus 100% of her time on acting.
But when her car breaks down, so do her dreams.
This is, of course, confirmed when she explains how much debt she’s in.
It’s a simple scene but it’s often a fan’s favorite.
When the two first met, Leonard asked Penny to join them for dinner.
Through all their breakups and makeups, Leonard has only asked Penny for money a handful of times.
To make up for his foolish timing, he decided to throw her perfect version of date night.
Zack was, essentially, everything Leonard wasn’t.
He was tall and in shape but he was also veryfor lack of a better worddumb.
Unbeknownst to Penny, she thought those Las Vegas weddings for fake…
This enraged Leonard and he made her feel dumb for thinking her wedding was fake.
When he came back to California, he and Penny couldn’t keep their hands off of each other.
He even brought her back a gift from the North Pole: a snowflake.
Considering how rare snowflakes are, this was a gift she cherished.
He’s needy when he’s healthy but it’s a whole other ballgame when he’s sick.
Lucky for him, Penny forgave him but it was still an unjustifiable action.
