Usually the best momentos on the show (not comedy-wise) are thos little moments when they let Sheldon be a real person (with his own particular problems) and the forget to make him a joke of himslef. That's something that since Amy came to the show gives the character a tone that improves it so much. Obviously for the tone of the show they don't do it often but when they to (particularly on this episode) they do it pretty well because they're not making him a "normal guy on the inside" but they show someone who has a lot of troubles to manage himself in a social world he doesn't quite understand and it explains very well all those things that, when done in a comedy tone, makes us laugh (or at least that's their objective.
Sheldon can't control or understand how people feel arround him, and that's why he controls everything else (schedules, places to sit, etc). The rutine he creates, and even the work he does, with the laws that don't change and make the universe predictable...in the funny moments those things makes us laugh, but when they let the character be serious and honest, it explains all of him. Those moments would be the "uncertainty principle" of this show. Not even in the hardest of sciences can you be completly sure of everything, and no matter how much you try to control the world arround you, people are always an uncertainty principle for him.
The only thing I dind't like about this episode were the scenes in the puzzle house. The episode was about the different forms that love can take. Howard with his mother, Bernadette with Howard, Sheldon and Penny...for the other four something else would have been better...
