2000s (Earth-Prime)

* 2000, Pt. 1
* 2000, Pt. 2
* 2001
* 2003
* 2004
* 2005
* 2009

The **timeline** of Earth-Prime is a series of significant events listed in chronological order. The timeline is always in a constant flux when a person with access to some form of time travel goes backwards in time and changes events, creating a new timeline from that moment onward, though some events like the big bang are always supposed to happen.

Because of the nature of Earth-Prime, many events from its constituent Earths have also taken place but with slight changes to certain events. See Timeline of Earth-1, Timeline of Earth-3, Timeline of Earth-38, Timeline of Earth-42, Timeline of Earth-616, Timeline of Earth-666, Timeline of Earth-TUD5 to see more events.

This is a timeline of events that occurred during **2000s**.

The following events that takes place in these years; **2000 - 2009**, also known as **-2700 LY - -2691 LY** (according to the Lothal Calendar), **5958 BFE - 5949 BFE** in the Imperial calendar, and the years: **2000 AD - 2009 AD** (Anno Domini) in the C.R.C. calender, with the latter also being known as the original calendar, later known as **5977 BBY - 5968 BBY**.

	+ When they get off the plane in Philadelphia, Ted and Barney are taken into custody by airport security, since they left luggage on a carousel in JFK and purchased last minute plane tickets with cash.

They then go to Sascha's house (Sascha was a security guard at the airport), which is not much of a party (although Barney also claims that this will be "legendary"), mostly because her grandfather is sleeping upstairs.

However, Robin cannot get back in because a different guy is now a bouncer.

Ted goes down to the coat check area to hang out with the coat check girl, while Marshall finds Barney, who suggests going to the bathroom to find some aspirin. When Marshall comes out of the bathroom, he is miraculously no longer in pain, sporting a somewhat euphoric expression.
	+ Meanwhile, Lily comes to the club, having also escaped from their party in the same manner as Marshall after she called him and heard the music of the club. Robin convinces Lily that she doesn't have to mature like the other couples, while Lily convinces Robin to flash their breasts for the bouncer and some surrounding nerds to get back into the club (which works).

* **October 31**

Robin then informs the group that she has been dating a guy named Mike for a few weeks, who the gang hasn't met yet. Lily suggests that they go on a double date.
	+ Ted arrives at the bar and tells Robin that he will be waiting for the "Slutty Pumpkin", which he does every year on Halloween. Ted tells the story of how he met the Slutty Pumpkin four years earlier on Halloween night. He was at a party on the roof of his apartment building, where he met a girl who was wearing a sexy pumpkin costume, and made a drink she called a Tootsie Roll, which was a mixture of Kahlua and root beer. As Ted tells his story, Barney, Lily and Marshall continually interject, since Ted has evidently told this story many times. Ted continues, saying that he got the Slutty Pumpkin's phone number, but it was written on a Kit Kat wrapper, which Lily had unintentionally given away, causing Ted to lose her number.
	+ At the apartment, Lily and Marshall show off their Halloween costumes: Lily is a parrot and Marshall is dressed as a Jack Sparrow-esque pirate; they are certain they will win the costume contest at the bar. Ted presents his costume, a hanging chad, which is what Ted wears every Halloween since it is what he wore when he met the Slutty Pumpkin. Barney then arrives at the apartment, dressed as a fighter pilot straight out of *Top Gun*. He tells Ted to join him at a Victoria's Secret Halloween party, but Ted insists he will go to the party on the roof to wait for the Slutty Pumpkin. Robin arrives next, but isn't wearing a costume. She tells Lily she and Mike had talked about wearing costumes, but they decided not to dress up. Just then, Mike enters the apartment dressed as Hansel. Robin admits that she was just joking about dressing up as Hansel and Gretel. Barney follows Ted up to the party on the roof, noting that there are only six women there. As an a cappella group begins singing, Barney starts drinking.
	+ Lily, Marshall, Robin, and Mike are all eating at the bar. While Lily and Marshall enthusiastically share their food with each other, Robin does not want to share with Mike. Back at the roof party, Barney hits on a girl wearing a hula costume, but his crass pickup line fails.
	+ In the women's bathroom, Lily asks Robin if she actually likes Mike. Robin insists that she just doesn't like couple-y stuff, but Lily tells her that it's the greatest thing in the world to be a part of. Lily tells Robin that she could lose Mike if she doesn't start acting differently, so she suggests that Robin share her dessert with Mike. Robin agrees.
	+ After striking out with the hottest girl at the party, Barney changes his costume, now wearing a red devil costume, with hopes that he can make a "second first impression." Barney hits on the hula girl again, but he once again fails. Barney tells Ted that the Slutty Pumpkin is clearly not coming, so they must go to the Victoria's Secret party. Ted tells him that the Slutty Pumpkin represents hope for him.
	+ Robin tries to share her sundae with Mike, but it immediately becomes obvious that she cannot which leads to her finishing off the sundae herself. Mike decides to leave the bar, saying that he doesn't get the impression that Robin enjoys being with him. Robin denies this, but Mike says she much rather prefers being alone, not wanting to engage in any couple-y activities. Mike then breaks up with Robin.
	+ Ted sees someone dressed as a penguin, who mixes Kahlua and root beer, and wonders if this person is the Slutty Pumpkin. His hopes are quickly dashed however when it is revealed that it is Barney in the costume. Barney also reveals that he used this new costume to get the hula girl's phone number, but she realizes that he was the same guy from before, upset that he tricked her into giving him her number.
	+ Robin is not very upset that Mike broke up with her, saying that he wanted to be a "we" while Robin wanted to be an "I." Carl then announces the winners of the costume contest: Lily as a parrot and Marshall as a gay pirate.
	+ Robin then finds Ted still on the roof. She tells him about being dumped by Mike, and wonders if there's something wrong with her, that she's a cold person who cannot be head-over-heels for someone. Ted tells her that she just hasn't met the right person yet. Ted and Robin sit together under a blanket.

	+ Ellen Pierce, the owner of Love Solutions, is unconvinced by Barney but confident she can find a match for Ted - in three days. He is skeptical until Ellen calculates how small the percentage of available women is for him in New York.

* **November 10**
	+ After Agent 47's funeral, 47 wakes up and kills Alexander Leland Cayne, Rick Henderson and all of the FBI agent who are protecting them.
* **November 12**
	+ After hearing nothing for five days, Ted wants to know what the problem is. Everyone tells him not to "Ted out" about it (overthink something). He returns to Love Solutions, only to find out he cannot be matched to anyone. The closest match compatible with Ted was set up with someone weeks ago. Ellen tells Ted there's no chance for him and sees him out of her office. Ted sneaks back in when she goes to lunch, in order to steal information on his highest percentage match. The woman is a dermatologist, so Ted books an appointment with her. He learns she is engaged and will be getting married by the end of the week. He tells her if things change, he'll be available.
	+ Marshall and Lily spot it again, and try to kill it with bug spray and a phone book. They run away again when the phone book starts moving (meaning that the creature isn't dead), but get a good glimpse of the creature. The creature is described as having six legs, antennae, and an exoskeleton, but also has tufts of fur, whiskers, and a tail, and is roughly the size of a potato. Marshall and Lily call it the "cockamouse". Robin is skeptical of them, but eventually they catch it, and Marshall takes it to the *Columbia University Biology department*. When Marshall arrives, he finds the cockamouse has escaped, and must still be in the apartment.
* **November 13**

He reveals why he booked in with her and she tells him to not believe in matchmaking services. He then returns to Love Solutions, and finds a distraught Ellen. As Ted appears to have no soulmate, the company's 100% success rate is ruined. Ted, however, has hope that he will find his soul mate, and encourages Ellen to keep searching for him (at no extra charge).
	+ Robin finally sees the creature, and panicking, throws a drink at it. Marshall arrives, grabs it and throws it out of the window. To their surprise, the cockamouse can fly. The group watches it fascinated, until it attempts to fly back into the window. They scream and slam it shut, just as the cockamouse hits.
* **November 20**

Lily even sees many of her personal belongings still there. Lily and Robin immediately head over to Ted and Marshall's apartment to explain the situation, and Ted tells Lily that she is welcome to live with them, "since you practically live here anyway." Barney warns Ted that things will change when Lily moves into the apartment, and that eventually she and Marshall will force him out of the apartment. Ted doesn't believe him, but after he finds "Shocky" (his very old coffee pot that always gave him an electrical jolt and makes the lights flicker when ever it gets plugged into an outlet) in the garbage and replaced by Lily's coffee pot, he begins to think Barney is right. He feels even more threatened when Marshall tells him he wants to hang Lily's painting where the two swords hang. In order to try to reclaim his territory, Ted begins to label all of his food and then orders a life-sized English phone booth for the apartment. He begins to argue with Marshall about who should get the apartment, which leads to a duel with the swords that hung on the wall. Both consider this duel awesome even though they are fighting for the apartment and mad at each other. Events become tragic when their coffee table collapses under Marshall's weight because one of the legs was put on with wood glue, and he stumbles backward and stabs Lily with the sword. After she is patched up at the hospital, Lily tells them that she doesn't want to live there once they are married because she feels that it is a "boy apartment."
	+ Meanwhile, Barney has created a revolutionary idea in the dating world: The Lemon Law. Similar in nature to lemon laws for used cars, Barney's new lemon law for dating gives a person five minutes to decide if there will be a second date or not. They can call the date off for any reason in the first five minutes, avoiding bad dates. Barney goes on to say that it will become "a thing" after "lemon-lawing" two different women on dates. Robin argues that it takes longer for people to get to know each other, so she challenges Barney by taking Kevin, a nerdy guy obsessed with *Star Trek,* on a date. Barney calls her to try to get her to use the lemon law, but she refuses. The guy asks if it was a fake call from the hospital, and she tells him that she would never do that. Only a few minutes later, she gets a real call from the hospital telling her that Marshall has accidentally stabbed Lily, and leaves, with Kevin believing that she is indeed using a fake excuse to get out of their date, and tells Robin that she has no honor (in Klingon). At the hospital Barney reveals that his lemon law is now "a thing," as he had just been "lemon-lawed" by a girl earlier that night. He also regrets not calling it Barney's Law so as to get some name recognition or fame. Once Lily is released from the hospital, they go eat Shanghai dumplings at the restaurant in Lily's old apartment, and listen to a mixtape Marshall made for Lily on Valentine's Day in 1998.
* **November 24**
	+ On Thanksgiving day of 2005, Lily and Marshall go to Marshall's home in St. Cloud, Minnesota, which Marshall is very excited about, as he hasn't been home since last Christmas. Ted, Robin and Barney stay in New York.

Marshall, who is already very tall, standing 6'4", is considered the "runt" of the Eriksen family. Later, she finds that everything in the family is huge, including salads, bowls and spoons. Mrs. Eriksen tells Lily that Marcus was fifteen pounds when he was born, which frightens Lily because she fears she may be pregnant with a similarly giant Eriksen baby.
	+ At the dinner table, Lily insists that she will keep her name after marriage and that they'll raise their children in New York, much to the disapproval of the Eriksens. This leads to an argument between Lily and Marshall after which she runs out of the house. Lily buys a pregnancy test in a convenience store, and later got arrested for public urination. Marshall finds her in jail, and asks her what is going on with her. A distraught Lily begs Marshall to promise her that they won't move to St. Cloud. When Lily's personal effects are brought to her, Marshall learns that she took a pregnancy test. Marshall himself then begins to panic and declares that their children cannot be allowed to play Baskiceball. They soon find out that Lily is in fact not pregnant, much to their relief.
	+ Back in New York, Ted and Robin go to a kitchen to do charity work for the homeless, where they find Barney. They are shocked to see him and can't believe that Barney would possibly want to help others, though Kendall, his boss, claims that he comes every Sunday. While Barney was playing a busy and essential role in the kitchen, having been named volunteer of the year, Ted and Robin don't have much to contribute as the kitchen is packed with volunteers on Thanksgiving. They finally end up helping a woman named Amanda, but learn that she is actually taking the best donated items home for herself. When Ted tells Kendall about this, Kendall reveals that he also takes the best items home as well. Ted steals the portobello mushrooms and gives them to the homeless people, which causes himself, Barney, and Robin to be fired from the kitchen. To make it up to Barney, they end up at the Lusty Leopard, a strip club, much to Ted's chagrin. Ted meets a stripper named Tracy, who has the same name as Ted's future wife.

	+ Barney, Marshall, and Lily criticize Ted for overthinking what he's about to do rather than acting by the seat of his pants. They convince Ted to take five shots of a drink called the 'Red Dragon' (a special blend by Carl that resembles blood, causing Ted to state Marshall's theory that Carl is a vampire); Ted claims that he can still function cognitively even under the influence of the alcohol, but shortly afterwards he blacks out.
* **November 29**
	+ Ted wakes up the next morning with a brunette girl he doesn't remember beside him in bed, a pineapple on his nightstand, and a sprained ankle. He also finds out that his coat has been partially burnt. Ted asks Marshall and Lily about the night, and Marshall and Lily tell him that he sang along with the jukebox in the bar while standing on a table. He also was talking on the phone with Robin while he was singing. He fell off the table (explaining the sprained ankle), and Marshall and Lily took him up to his bed. However, they do not know why there is a girl on the bed and why there is a pineapple on Ted's nightstand, and the reason his coat was burned. Ted calls Barney, thinking that he might know what had happened.
	+ After finding Barney in the tub, Ted asks him about the night. It's revealed that after Lily and Marshall put Ted to bed, he got back up again and returned to the bar. Barney also tells Ted that he lit his jacket on fire because Ted called Robin. Barney then tells Ted that after some more fun, he put Ted back into bed. Ted then finds that someone wrote on his arm, saying to call the number if Ted was found passed out somewhere. Ted calls the number, and finds out it belongs to the bartender, Carl. Carl tells Ted that he once again returned to the bar after Barney had put him to bed. Carl also informs him that he went to the bathroom to vomit (ending Ted's "vomit free since '93" streak), and then told him the meaning of the word karaoke and that he wanted to go see some penguins at the zoo, but he had to make one more call first. Based on this information, Marshall, Lily, and Barney believe that the girl in Ted's bed is Robin, but as Ted goes to wake her up, Robin calls.
	+ The girl in bed, Trudy, wakes up, and explains her side of the story, telling Ted that he did not vomit after all, and that she exchanged numbers with him in the ladies' room of the bar. It's revealed that the person that Ted drunkenly called was not Robin as he had intended, it was Trudy, which explains why she was the one in his bed.
	+ Ted tells Trudy to hide when Robin comes over to talk, and Trudy leaves via the fire escape before Ted can show her to Robin to prove that he has moved on. In the end, Ted eventually pieces his night together (except for the mysterious pineapple).

Ted also plans for the gang, alongside Lucifer and Kara, to go to five separate parties, and to celebrate New Year's at the best party. Ranjit is the limo driver, having "moved up" in the world from a taxi driver. Robin leaves the limo because she has plans with her boyfriend Derek. Lucifer, who have his own plans for the New Year, tells they need to be at the fifth party, where he has planned to have fireworks go off at the stroke of midnight saying: KARA DANVERS. WILL YOU MARRY ME? in the sky.
	+ Lily is disappointed that Robin had to leave, so Barney presents his Get Psyched Mix CD, which, as Barney explains, is why he is always upbeat and "psyched." Barney puts in the CD, and "Shot Through The Heart" by Bon Jovi blares out of the speakers. The group goes to the first party, where Ted meets up with a co-worker named Marybeth, who is his date for the night. Barney also finds a date at the party, a foreign woman named Natalya. From there, they head to party number two.
	+ The gang leaves party two, disappointed. They also leave Natalya at the party, but when Barney asks them to go back for her, Lily says that no one liked her, and Ted says that they have a tight schedule to keep if they are to make it to every party before midnight. Ted receives a call from Robin, however, who tells him that Derek stood her up, because he had to work tonight. Ted instantly directs Ranjit to turn the limo around to go pick Robin up. When they get Robin, Ted offers to kiss her at midnight since she won't be with her boyfriend. Robin mentions that she is starving, so Ted suggests they stop off at Gray's Papaya for hot dogs. Lily, however, has to go home to change out of her uncomfortable shoes. She and Marshall vow to find each other by midnight.
	+ The group is about to head to party number three when they spot recording artist Moby outside. Ted rolls down the window and asks Moby what he's doing, to which Moby answers that he's going to a New Year's party. Ted offers to give Moby a ride, and Moby accepts. In the limo, the gang is excited to be hanging out with Moby, and he ends up inviting them to his party. Marshall, worried about Lily, goes to party three to find her.
	+ On their way to Moby's party, Moby compliments Barney's Get Psyched Mix, agreeing that it should be "all rise." Soon after that, however, the gang quickly learns that the man they picked up is in fact *not* Moby, after he brandishes a gun and speaks erratically. Holding the gun, Not-Moby says that there's a guy at the party who owes him money. The gang eagerly drops him off at the party, wanting to get away from this crazy person. Marshall's phone, which he had left in the limo, begins ringing, and Barney answers it, and tells Lily that Marshall went looking for her at party number three. Lily doesn't see Marshall but does see someone she thinks is Moby, who also happens to have a gun. Ted quickly grabs the phone and tells Lily to get out of there. Lily runs back to the limo, and they learn that she was actually at party number four, which coincidentally was also the party that Not-Moby was going to.
	+ The limo heads for party number three to find Marshall, and Barney realizes that Not-Moby stole his Get Psyched Mix, while the limo gets a flat tire. As Ranjit goes to fix the tire, Barney begins acting melancholy and introspective, apparently lost without his Get Psyched Mix. Robin, who realizes how hard Ted has worked to make this New Year's a great night, tries to keep spirits high by singing "Shot Through The Heart", and Ted voraciously joins in. Marybeth stands up through the sun roof to "get some air." Ted joins her, apologizing for the mishaps they've faced, and Marybeth bluntly asks Ted how long he has been in love with Robin. Ted insists he isn't, but Marybeth decides to leave.
	+ With fifteen minutes until midnight, still with a flat tire, Lily decides to "call" Marshall, and starts yelling his name out of the sun roof of the limo. Eventually, she hears Marshall call back to her, as he triumphantly returns to the limo. Marshall explains that when he couldn't find Lily at party three, he walked to party number four, where he found Barney's Get Psyched Mix, and also got "Moby's" autograph on his shirt (signed "Eric"). Marshall then went to party number five, which was awesome, and they definitely need to go there. Ranjit finally fixes the flat tire, and they also learn that Natalya was actually asleep in the front seat the whole time. With eight minutes until midnight, Ranjit vows to reach party number five by midnight.
	+ Three minutes later, the limo is stuck in bumper to bumper traffic. Accepting that the gang won't make it to party number five, Ted pops open a bottle of champagne and declares that the best party is inside the limousine with all of them. Right after they cheers their champagne, Derek appears at the limo's window, much to Robin's shock. As they count down to midnight, Ted, Lucifer and Kara leaves the limo and Ted walks down the street while Lucifer and Kara in front Ranjit's limo, where his backup plan of doing same as the earlier plan would take place.
	+ On the brink of New Year's Eve mere seconds before the clocks hit midnight, Lucifer prepares to propose to Kara. As the clock hits midnight and fireworks go off to celebrate the turn into 2008, Lucifer proposes to Kara with his fireworks spelling out "KARA DANVERS. WILL MARRY ME?, who overly happily accepts.

* **February 3**

* **February 4**
	+ When he tells Lily his problem, Lily suggests that Ted ask Stuart if he can bring a date. Stuart says that, of course, Ted can bring a date. Ted is excited that he and Robin will have a romantic evening that might lead to their getting together until Claudia calls to say that the wedding has been canceled. Apparently Stuart telling Claudia that he said that Ted could bring a date led to a huge argument and the couple broke up.

Her producer is calling to offer her the opportunity to anchor the news that evening. Though disappointed, Ted tells her to go to work. Ted goes to the wedding alone and Claudia shows him his RSVP and it proves that, contrary to his memory, he did indeed check that he would be attending alone. Thinking that mistake revealed that he really had given up on finding someone, Ted tells Barney that he is ready to just be single when he meets eyes with a pretty woman across the room.

However, just as Ted is about to accept his fate as a "single guy", across the room he spots a pretty woman, their eyes meet, and they smile at each other.
	+ Ted approaches the woman, who tells him that she never hooks up with people at weddings, because the heightened romantic feelings brought on by the event are not genuine. The two begin flirting, and they decide that after tonight, they will not see each other again; they plan to make this night a perfect memory, untainted by any of the hangups that come with the "next day." They agree that they won't exchange phone numbers, emails, or even names. They plan to use fake names, and the woman introduces herself as Buttercup while Ted introduces himself as Lando Calrissian - however, moments later, Barney ruins this by calling Ted by name. The woman reveals that her name is Victoria.
	+ Ted steals a bottle of champagne while Victoria steals the bouquet. They head to another room where Victoria tap dances and Ted plays the piano. They sit side by side on the piano bench and almost kiss.

* **February 6**
	+ The next morning, at the apartment, Ted tells Marshall and Lily that he just had the most amazing night of his life. Ted then tells the story about his night. Marshall and Lily interrupt the story to tell Ted that this is a terrible idea. Ted continues his story.
	+ Ted's story is interrupted again when Marshall and Lily tell him that Victoria sounds amazing and that he is an idiot for not getting her information. Marshall mentions that he ate the best cake he's ever had in his life at that wedding, and he will do whatever it takes to track that cake down and have more of it. Ted agrees that she is amazing, and realizes that he has to see her again. All that Ted knows about her is that her name is Victoria though, so he decides to call Claudia, who is currently on her honeymoon, to try to find out who Victoria is. Claudia tells him that no one on the guest list was named Victoria. Ted then asks Barney to ask the bridesmaid he hooked up with if she knew who Victoria was, but she doesn't know either. Ted then accepts it was his fate to never see Victoria again.
	+ Robin comes to the apartment and tells Lily that she has a new gig as the new substitute weekend anchor on the news. Lily then tells Robin about Ted's romantic evening with Victoria at the wedding, and Robin admits that she knows who Victoria is. Robin tells Lily that she showed up to the reception after getting off work to surprise Ted, but she saw Ted and Victoria together on the piano bench, almost kissing. Robin goes and cries in the bathroom, and Victoria hears her and goes to comfort her by giving her the bouquet. Robin says she doesn't know why she was crying, and Lily tells her that it's because she has feelings for Ted.
	+ Robin finally admits that she does like Ted, but also points out that they still both want different things. Robin resolves to tell Ted about Victoria, so that he can be happy. Lily suggests that she could tell him that she has feelings for him, which would make both of them happy. Robin leaves, unsure of what to do.
	+ At the bar, Ted, Barney, Marshall, and Lily are drinking when Robin arrives and asks to talk to Ted. Ted then receives a phone call from Claudia who apologizes for snapping at him on the phone earlier. Marshall tells Ted to ask Claudia where she got the cake from, and Claudia tells Ted that she got it from a bakery called the Buttercup Bakery. Remembering that Victoria gave the fake name "Buttercup", Ted realizes that she wasn't on the guest list because she made the cake. Marshall is excited by this, and tells Ted she must move in with them immediately. Lily tries to stop Ted from going after her, so that Robin can tell him how she feels, but Robin ultimately decides to let him go.
	+ Ted then remembers the end of his evening with Victoria. Sitting outside her bakery in a taxi cab, Ted wonders if he really should go inside to meet her. He wonders if this perfect memory is something that both he and Victoria needed in their lives. As he ponders this for way too long, Barney tells him to make a decision already. Ted goes inside, where he sees Victoria. She exclaims "thank god" and the two share a passionate kiss.

	+ Lily and Marshall are at the apartment, and are brushing their teeth in the bathroom.

	+ Back at the apartment, Lily and Marshall watch on as Ted and Victoria take an excruciatingly long time to begin their lovemaking, with Ted making pretentious comments about the beauty of fleeting moments. Victoria tells Ted that she wants to know him, to know his "*soul*", nauseating Lily and Marshall. Ted receives a phone call, and quickly dismisses it. Seeing this new relationship blossom, Lily starts to feel like she and Marshall no longer have that spark that Ted and Victoria have, and worries that they have run out of "firsts."
	+ Robin meets Barney at a cigar lounge, having suited up, and she orders her own scotch and cigar, impressing Barney. Barney then suggests they go play laser tag, which Robin agrees to.

Lily eventually does pee in front of him, but they get through it.

Marshall comforts Lily and tells her that they still have plenty of "firsts" and that their relationship is not getting stale.
	+ Back at Robin's apartment, Barney mistook her invitation to play Battleship as an invitation to have sex. Barney says that he got Ted's blessing to hook up with her, revealing that the phone call that Ted had received earlier was from Barney, who asked if he would be cool with him hooking up with Robin, which Ted was mostly dismissive of.

Marshall takes this to mean that he is given the liberty to create fun new games for game night. Because Ted asked Marshall to not interrogate his new girlfriend, Victoria, Marshall creates a game called "Marshgammon", which has rules bent around the idea of getting to know her better. Nobody really understands the game, beyond the fact that every time someone says "What?" they have to drink.
	+ Lily mentions a girl named Shannon whom she ran into. Barney immediately becomes agitated upon hearing her name, but denies the existence of this girl, even after Lily says that she remembers him. Lily says that she got a video tape from Shannon. Barney takes the tape in her hand and destroys it in the kitchen of the apartment. Lily tells him that the tape he just destroyed was Ted's graduation, and the real tape was hidden in her purse. The group watches the tape, which shows a long-haired Barney, weeping as he sings a song to Shannon. Barney steals the tape and runs out of the apartment.
	+ Later, they all meet up at the bar where Barney eventually tells the group his most embarrassing story in pieces after they each tell embarrassing stories of their own. Barney reveals to the group his first, and supposedly only, relationship with another girl. Before he became "awesome", he intended to go to the Peace Corps with his girlfriend, Shannon. She describes being in the Peace Corps with him as "legendary". They were both very environmentally aware.
	+ One day, a man in a suit entered the coffee shop where the two of them work and orders coffee. He and Barney talk about his girlfriend. Barney feels that the man is rude, stating, "Women aren't objects; they're human beings." They do not go to the Peace Corps. Shannon lies to Barney and breaks up with him, saying that her father does not want her to go. In reality, the man from the coffee shop hooked up with her, and she wants to move on from Barney. After seeing them kissing, and hearing her explain that he was her boyfriend, Barney loses his hitherto optimistic outlook on life. He composes a video cassette of him singing to her to get her back. Some time later, in the cafe, Shannon, now wearing a suit, comes back to get her last paycheck. Barney is happy to see her, and runs up to talk to her. He asked if she got the tape, and her boyfriend, the man from before, replies affirmatively. Shannon's new boyfriend mocks Barney for his embarrassing video. The shock of discovering the identity of the boyfriend causes Barney to stumble, and he storms out the cafe in tears to avoid his teasing. He is walking down the street when someone shoves a flyer advertising suits with the slogan "SUIT UP!" Barney then becomes "awesome" and transforms his appearance to that of the modern-day Barney. He cuts his hair, shaves his face, and buys what is likely his first suit.
	+ Marshall tells his most embarrassing story first, recounting the time he went to Lily's Kindergarten class to see Lily, but they were all outside at recess (probably). He then needed to go to the restroom. However, the toilet in the restroom was a smaller toilet that he wasn't used to, so he sits down, and he doesn't realize it's a shared restroom until a little boy walks in on him. He flees the restroom surprised and trips over and falls forgetting to pull up his pants, just as Lily and the younger kids return and all the little kids point and laugh at him. Lily adds "And the kids still call him Funny Butt." The next time Barney stops his story, Robin begins her story of falling in horse poop, but Barney rejects it as he already knows that story. Victoria then tells her story. Ted refuses to repeat it for his kids, only saying it involves a hot tub and a squeeze bottle of marshmallow topping. Next up is Lily, telling the story of the time she and Marshall were having "floor sex", not realizing Marshall's mom was still on the phone they'd forgotten to hang up and could hear everything. Finally came Ted. He begins to tell "the Green Testicle Story", but Barney interrupts, saying he wants the story of the Re-return. Ted explains that after the events of his disastrous first date with Robin, he, Barney, and Ranjit were drinking at the bar. Ted declares he's going to kiss Robin, but instead vomited on her doormat. Robin thinks it's sweet that he re-returned for her, but this puts some distance between Ted and Victoria, who had been previously unaware of Ted's feelings for Robin. Barney is amused that he got Ted to admit this and as a present, he decides to conclude his piece of the story of when he saw Shannon. He reveals after he stormed out of the apartment, and before he came to the bar, he went to Shannon, and caught up with her. He details that she wanted to make amends and reveals her talk of breaking up with Greg, being a mother, and notes if he stayed with her that could be his life. Lily tried to comfort him on feeling empty. However, he voices his joy at his bachelor life and lack of responsibilities like Shannon, stating he dodged a bullet with that life. He then states he had sex with Shannon after the talk. Barney proves it to a skeptical Lily by showing the gang and Victoria a video of the encounter on his phone. Barney says Shannon gave her number, but he declares that he won't call her, as revenge for her leaving him. He leaves overzealous by his actions, while Marshall states Barney wins the game, something everyone agrees with.
	+ At the end, Ted talks to Victoria about the night and she reveals that she got over it, and Ted bought Robin a new doormat.

	+ Marshall has a job interview for an internship at the NRDC, but his only suit has holes in it. Barney offers to introduce him to his tailor, but Marshall is too broke to buy a new suit. Barney insists that his "guy" will give him a good deal. Marshall, Barney, and Ted go to the tailor where Marshall gets fitted for a suit. Ted wonders what he should do about Victoria, and Marshall tells him that long distance relationships never work. He recalls how when Lily did a summer art program in Paris during college she had a male friend named Gabriel, who had a thin mustache, so Marshall intimidated him and told him to stay away from Lily. Marshall says that even though he and Lily are soulmates, long distance almost ended their relationship; Marshall advises Ted that if he thinks Victoria might be his soulmate, he should tell her to stay. Ted decides to tell Victoria to go to Germany, because asking her to stay would put too much pressure on their new relationship. However, when Ted meets Victoria for dinner, he changes his mind on the spot and tells her he wants her to stay.
	+ While the guys are at the tailor, Lily, Robin, and Victoria are shopping for wedding dresses for Lily. Robin is having trouble being nice to Victoria, since she still has feelings for Ted. Victoria says she doesn't want to lose Ted, and has even considered dating long distance, but Lily tells her that it doesn't work. Lily tells the girls about when she did the summer art program in Paris, and felt really lonely, her only friend was a homely girl named Gabrielle who was embarrassed by her mustache. For some unknown reason, about halfway through the program, Gabrielle stopped talking to Lily. Later, Robin decides to give Victoria some advice in regards to Ted. Robin admits that she always puts her career ahead of her relationships, and that it can get pretty lonely. She encourages her to stay with Ted, which Victoria agrees she will do. Lily comes out wearing a much too expensive dress, and accidentally ruins it when she sits on a cake. She is forced to use multiple credit cards to pay for the damage.
	+ When Victoria is at dinner with Ted, however, she also changes her mind at the last second and declares that she needs to go to Germany. The two then have a heated discussion about what they should do next, and they ultimately decide to break up.

They end up having sex the entire day.

When Marshall tells Lily about his plan, Lily doesn't think that it's a good idea, but Marshall thinks that he can keep his work persona separate from his real personality.
* **April 13**

	+ Barney shows Marshall how to act like the guys at work and Marshall gains their acceptance. Marshall's work persona begins to bleed over into his home life to Lily's displeasure. Marshall asks Lily to give his work friends a chance and they go out to a karaoke bar. Lily is not having a good time and when Marshall accepts a job offer at Barney's company Lily leaves the table. Lily asks Marshall when he decided to give up his values. He says that he hasn't abandoned his values but he wants to make good money for a couple of years so that he can give Lily a better life. Lily tells him that he can give her a great life with what he has already. The two make up by performing their favorite karaoke song on stage.
	+ Meanwhile, Ted struggles with his long-distance relationship with Victoria. He feels guilty that Victoria has sent him three care packages and he hasn't sent her any. When he calls to thank her for the most recent care package, he impulsively says that he sent her a care package a few days ago. Ted asks Robin for advice about how to cover up his lie. Robin suggests that he assemble a care package with New York-themed things and top off the package with a New York Times from three days ago. When Victoria calls Ted to thank him for the care package, he accidentally falls asleep on the phone.
	+ Feeling guilty and frustrated, Ted plans to fly to Germany to visit Victoria. But when he is buying his ticket, Victoria sends him an email telling him that they need to talk that evening. Ted worries that Victoria is going to break up with him, but Robin reassures him that he is worried for no reason.
	+ That evening Robin's coworker, Sandy Rivers, told her that they should have sex, making it clear that he has no interest in pursuing a relationship with her.
	+ Robin came home, drank a very large glass of wine, and decide to call Ted.
	+ The phone call from Victoria is four hours late. The phone rings, with Ted answering it, and Robin is on the other end, asking if he wants to come over.
	+ When Robin calls, Ted is awaiting a phone call from Victoria, who told him they needed to talk. Victoria didn't call when expected and Ted believes it to be an inevitable break-up call, so he agrees to come over, even though he knows that Robin might be asking for more than just a friend. He tries to rationalize the situation on his way to Robin's apartment and he has conversations with his subconscious, which appears as Victoria. He tells Victoria that nothing will happen, but Victoria doesn't believe him. Ted calls Marshall for a second opinion, and Marshall tries to convince him not to go, reminding him of what his mother says. When Marshall's attempts to dissuade Ted do not work, Lily takes the phone and tells Ted that he can't go to Robin's, something will happen because Robin has feelings for Ted. Ted is stunned that Robin likes him and tells Lily that he won't go to Robin's apartment. Lily hangs up the phone thinking that she convinced Ted, but Marshall and Barney both know that Lily just helped convince Ted to go to Robin's. Ted arrives at Robin's and they make awkward small talk about their shared model of cell phone. When Robin asks how his conversation with Victoria went, Ted lies and says that they broke up.
	+ At the karaoke bar, Lily urges Marshall to go home, but Barney decides to prove to Lily and Marshall that good things can happen after 2 a.m. Barney invites a Korean Elvis impersonator to come with the group to MacLaren's. Marshall calls Ted to invite him, and Ted admits to Marshall that he is at Robin's and just lied about breaking up with Victoria. Marshall and Lily convince Ted that he needs to leave before he starts a relationship with Robin while still involved with Victoria. Ted tries to leave, but as he and Robin say good-bye they kiss.
	+ Ted and Robin make out on the couch and Robin asks if they should move into the bedroom. Ted excuses himself and goes to the bathroom to call Victoria. His imaginary Victoria appears and asks him if he really thinks it's a good idea to break up with his girlfriend with the woman who he is about to have sex with in the next room.
	+ While Ted wrestles with his conscience, Marshall and Lily try to head home from MacLaren's, but Barney again pleads with them to stay because they have not done something legendary yet. Korean Elvis also tries to convince them to stay, whispering something into Lily's ear, which causes her to knee him in the groin. After a few seconds of silence, Barney then proclaims that the night has become legendary by asking "Hey you guys, remember the time that Lily kicked Korean Elvis in the nards?".
	+ Back in Robin's bathroom, Ted acknowledges to Victoria that he owes her a real break-up call. But when Victoria asks if Ted is going to go home, he asks if it will really matter if he sleeps with Robin the night before he breaks up with Victoria. He is tired of pretending that he isn't in love with Robin, and he admits that he just wants to get laid. Just as he has convinced himself that sleeping with Robin is OK, Ted realizes that he has Robin's phone. When he emerges from the bathroom, Robin is hanging up his phone (having answered thinking it was hers), having just finished talking with Victoria. Furious that Ted lied to her and was willing to sleep with her while involved with someone else, Robin gives him his phone telling him to call her back.
	+ As Ted heads back to his apartment, he finally calls Victoria and the two break up. Future Ted reminds his kids that nothing good happens after 2 a.m., and says that lying to Robin was the stupidest thing he ever did. Finally, Ted gets home and does what he should have done at the start of the evening... goes to bed, although it's clear neither he nor Robin will be getting any sleep.
* **April 16**
	+ A story that Robin did on her news channel was nominated for a Local Area Media Award (or as Lily calls it, a LAMA - pronounced LAME-a), and Robin has invited everyone to come to the awards banquet. Since she notified everyone three months in advance, Ted told her he would be bringing Victoria. Right before the awards banquet, Ted ended his relationship with Victoria and ruined his chances with Robin at the same time, and is wondering if he should still bring a date.
* **April 17**
	+ Barney suggests getting Ted a prostitute as a date, which Ted immediately dismisses. Barney shows up a bit later with a stunning blonde-haired woman named Mary for Ted, and Ted again refuses until he sees Robin's date for the banquet: Sandy Rivers, the guy who reads the newspaper on the news show every morning and requests that he always be referred to by his full name. Ted then agrees, and Mary is his date for the evening.
	+ At the banquet, Ted finds himself more and more attracted to Mary, who claims to be a paralegal at a law firm downtown. Ted tries to talk to Robin to restore their friendship, but fails. Robin wins the award, and thanks all of her friends for coming and supporting her, except Ted. Meanwhile, Barney has got Ted a room in the hotel for the night, and Ted is beginning to think about whether he and Mary should actually go up to the room. Marshall tries to stop him, but without success. Ted and Mary head up to the room, while Robin and Sandy Rivers get a cab. Shortly afterward, Robin returns, reiterating that she does not date co-workers, and she brought Sandy Rivers only to make Ted jealous, and Marshall tells her that Ted brought Mary to make Robin jealous. Marshall then (in an oddly telepathic manner) tells Lily that Mary is a prostitute, and Lily, who is asleep, wakes up and asks if Mary is indeed an escort. After a minute, Barney reveals that Mary is not really a prostitute, but actually a paralegal that lives in his building. Ted does not know this, and Mary eventually slaps him and leaves when Ted insists that she's a prostitute.
	+ At the bar, Barney insists to Ted that the reason he got on so well with Mary was because he thought he was on to a sure thing anyway, but Ted reveals that he's had the last laugh by never checking out of the hotel room, and leaves to increase the already hefty bill on Barney's credit card.

* **April 20**
	+ Marshall finds out that Van Smoot, the dream place where Marshall and Lily would like to have their wedding, is suddenly available. They rush over and take the opening, but that sets the date of Marshall and Lily's wedding, which would be in 2 months. Lily is stressed out about everything, even to the point of almost being a bridezilla, and all she can think about is her wedding.
	+ Marshall finds a possible band for the wedding, The 88, but Lily will not sign off on them until she hears them play Marshall and Lily's song ("Good Feeling" by The Violent Femmes), and the only way she can hear them is if she sneaks into a high school prom. Thus, Lily goes along with an idea of Barney's, and decides to sneak in with Robin and Barney (Barney suggests the idea because he thinks there will be no issues for them sneaking in, since he tells Lily, "I'm ageless, Scherbatsky just needs a good night's sleep, and you have statutory written all over you."). Robin is excited, because she never got to go to prom in high school due to hockey tournaments. When they arrive, they find tight security, so Lily and Robin offer to be the dates of two nerdy high school seniors, while Barney decides to find another way in.
	+ Meanwhile, Ted and Marshall are stuffing wedding invitations on their "Guys Night Out" until Robin calls Marshall and asks him to bring the sheet music of "Good Feeling" to Lily. Lily remembers her senior prom and all she had thought she'd experience but never did, and begins to have doubts about getting married, since she never achieved a lot of what she wanted to do in life. She tells this to Robin, who convinces her that she is marrying her best friend in the world, and that she could possibly be an artist and live an artist's lifestyle later in life, and then kisses her on the lips to give Lily the "lesbian experience" she never had.
	+ Ted and Marshall sneak in the back, and find Barney dressed as a turtle mascot. Marshall asks the senior who is Lily's date for the night where she is, and he pulls out a pair of Nunchaku and hits Marshall with them. Ted then tackles the senior to show Marshall that he will always have his back in a fight. The two seniors, Marshall, Ted, and Barney are taken outside, but Marshall and Ted sneak back in when Barney grabs the head of the turtle mascot suit and runs off. Marshall and Lily dance together, and agree to have The 88 play at the wedding, while Ted dances with Robin, who now wants to try to restore their friendship.

	+ Meanwhile, Barney wants Marshall to help him wage a prank war against Clark Butterfield, a man who is Barney's target in such pranks. Marshall is appointed to help Barney with the mischief. Marshall realizes that even though he hates his job he would not be able to have fun like this with Barney anywhere else.
	+ Lily has found out about an art fellowship in San Francisco, and decides to apply, even though it could ruin the wedding plans. She is forced to reveal her plans and call Ted when a tire on Marshall's car goes flat. She tells Ted that she is still having doubts about marrying Marshall and wants to see if she can get into this art fellowship and see what happens. Ted tries to convince her not to go to the required interview in *New Haven*. Lily knows it is a mistake but she has to know for sure if she can do it, and leaves Ted on the side of the road quite far from town. Ted sends her an angry message but reminds her to pick up milk on the way home. He calls Barney, but Barney puts Marshall on the phone and Ted claims it was a prank because he does not want Marshall to know why he was all the way out in Duchess County.
	+ Robin (who has gotten ill-advised highlights in her hair) eventually comes to get Ted, and takes him back to the bar so that he can be there for his date with the perfect woman. Ted daydreams about his wedding day and sees Robin trying to restrain her sadness at not being his bride, and he realizes he doesn't want a perfect woman anymore - he wants Robin.

	+ Ted and Robin have their first big fight when Robin becomes tired of listening to Ted complain about his most recent project at work, a skyscraper that looks remarkably phallic. Ted resents that Robin won't listen to his stories about work when he listens to Robin's work stories. After the fight, Ted meets up with Barney and Marshall at MacLaren's. Encouraging him to forget about Robin for the evening, Marshall invites Ted to the first law school party of the year. Ted declines, saying that he has to work at his "apparently boring job." Barney tells him that his job isn't boring: women think that architects are hot. Ted just needs to present his career with the right attitude. As the three guys leave for their evening plans, Ted approaches a woman at the bar and asks her what she thinks about architects. She tells him that she thinks that architects are sexy, and they begin chatting.
	+ Meanwhile, Robin, having walked out of the fight, finds Lily at a nail salon and tells her about the fight. Lily says that part of being in a relationship is listening, even when you're not that interested, and dismisses Robin's notion that Ted is actually upset over her not ignoring him, but over her not liking *Field of Dreams*. (In fact, he is actually upset about both.) Robin realizes that she isn't very good at being a girlfriend because she has never been in a relationship this serious before. She and Lily head to MacLaren's so that Robin can apologize to Ted, but he isn't at the bar. Robin asks the bartender about Ted, and a woman at the bar tells her that Ted Mosby, the Architect, was at the bar earlier but left with her friend to go Marshall's law school party. Robin takes the news in stride, saying that she is glad that Ted found someone to talk about work to so that she doesn't have to hear it. Lily can't believe that Robin isn't jealous that Ted is hitting on other women. Robin says that she is picturing the other woman as unattractive, but when her friend says that she is a kickboxing instructor and looks great Robin begins to feel a little jealous.
	+ Lily and Robin go to the law school party and ask around for Ted. The party's host, Brad, says that he did see Ted Mosby, the Architect, earlier, but he left with his date and Marshall to go dancing at a club. Upset that Ted who hates clubs would go dancing with another woman, Robin tries to call him to apologize. When Ted doesn't answer his phone, Robin calls Marshall, who tells her that Ted is working. Amazed that Marshall lied to her, Robin realizes that Ted is cheating on her.
	+ Robin and Lily then go to the club to find Ted, and the bouncer tells them that Ted Mosby, the Architect, was there but he left with his date to go to her apartment across the street. After a bribe of her clutch purse, the bouncer tells Robin where Ted's date lives. Robin and Lily go to her apartment, and finding the door unlocked they sneak in and discover Barney in the woman's bed. Robin asks where Ted is and Barney replies that Ted is at work. Barney then tells them that he has been pretending to be Ted all night, introducing himself as "Ted Mosby: Architect" to the woman whom Ted chatted with at the bar. Lily tries to reassure Robin that everything is fine because Ted isn't cheating on her, but Robin says that she hates how crazy and paranoid she has been acting. Lily tells her that people act crazy and paranoid in relationships, and she really misses those feelings. Leaving his standard goodbye form letter for the woman he just slept with, Barney, Robin and Lily leave her apartment before she gets out of the shower.
	+ Robin brings donuts and coffee to Ted who is still at work. She apologizes for their fight and tells him that she wants to be the person to whom he complains about work. She asks him about his work and Ted shows her an alternate design for the skyscraper that he had been working on. In 2030, Future Ted tells his kids that it was the first time he'd ever shown his drawings to someone outside of work; what's more, the skyscraper ended up being built and he had pointed it out to them when they had previously visited Spokane as a family.
* **October 16**
	+ The team believes the Turkish consul is a cardholder, but realizes that his wife, Lisa Tabak who is also the General's daughter, is.

Meanwhile, Tancredi is informed of Bennett's death and gets depressed. She goes to a pub, where a man steals and uses her credit card, which is detected by the Company.

* **October 19**
	+ Ted and Robin go to Lily's new apartment to bring her a housewarming gift, but find that her new place is absolutely horrendous. Her bed, which folds out from the wall, makes contact with the door and wall, while her kitchen and her bathroom (as well as her stove, sink, oven, and refrigerator) are combined. Furthermore, she has a raccoon as a roommate, who eats the housewarming gift Ted and Robin brought over. Neither Ted nor Robin can invite Lily to their place, since it would be too awkward for her to live with Marshall again when they're not a couple, and Robin has a lot of dogs, which Lily is allergic to. Ted and Robin want Barney to let Lily stay over at his apartment—which none has ever seen—which he immediately rejects. However, when the wall falls down in Lily's apartment when she pulls the bed down, Ted gives her the spare key, and when Barney arrives after work, he finds Lily sitting on his couch. After some initial reluctance, he agrees to let Lily stay for two days, as long as she doesn't try to change anything. Barney gets annoyed with Lily when she buys groceries, saying that he would be in a relationship if he wanted a refrigerator full of groceries and fresh coffee in the morning. He then gives Lily a tour of his apartment, full of things that try to scare off relationships, such as a king-size bed with a full size blanket and one pillow, a toilet seat which will not remain down, and professionally lit bookshelves of porn. When one particular woman is not deterred by any of these things, Barney finds Lily helpful, as she can pretend to be his wife and scare off the woman. Barney then insists that Lily stay, which she will do only if he allows her to give his apartment a slight makeover so that it looks more like a woman lives there. Lily and Barney accidentally sleep in the same bed while watching *Letterman*, and merely cuddle together, Barney thinks that he and Lily are in a relationship, and he wants out. Lily gets to keep anything she picked out for Barney's apartment and takes it to her own apartment, and lives there instead of living with Barney.
	+ Meanwhile, Marshall finds that it is hard being single after being in a committed relationship for so long. He had originally bought tickets to an *Alanis Morissette* concert when he and Lily were still together, but was disappointed that he had trouble finding someone to go with him. He decides to hang out with Brad, a friend of his from law school who is also recently single. They go to the concert, brunch, and a *Broadway play*, insisting to a curious and skeptical Ted and Robin that it is merely two bros hanging out together. They go to dinner and Marshall begins to feel like he and Brad are in a romantic relationship: Brad pays for dinner, helps Marshall with his coat, and invites Marshall to go to a wedding in Vermont with Brad. Marshall arrives at Brad's apartment to go to the wedding, and sees Brad holding flowers. Marshall tries to break up with Brad, but it turns out that Brad has gotten back together with his girlfriend Kara. Marshall is finally relieved that he wouldn't have worry about Brad making advances on him. Later on, there is an awkward situation when Marshall and Ted run into Brad on the street.

Self enters the cardholder's room and fails to copy the card, but gives the specifics of the safe to the team and gets them in the building. Burrows notices Scofield's nose bleeding. They manage to copy the card while Oren, the cardholder, is meeting the General, who states that Scylla is the reason the Company has power. Meanwhile, Mahone finds the motel Mathewson was staying in and notices the acceptant calling Mathewson, and takes the number by force. Morgan manages to free herself. Sucre and Bellick search the nearby buildings for Bagwell and tell Smith that there is a prize for helping them find Bagwell; but she decides to get more from Bagwell instead. Bagwell is visited by Feng Huan, Xing's boss, who threatens to kill him if he doesn't get Scylla soon. The team deduces that the General is the head of the Company.

#### November

* **November 3**
	+ While riding the subway Ted found a penny from 1939. Believing it to be valuable, Ted sold it to a collector, but only got $1.50. He and Robin spend the money on hot dogs from the other side of town, which is where they saw the line for the dress store.
	+ Robin and Ted spot a line of people camping outside a wedding dress store for a big sale. When they tell Lily, she decides to go as well, and Robin agrees to camp out with her for the night. They cannot get any sleep because of a car alarm.
* **November 4**
	+ They couldn't get any sleep the entire night, so Robin decides to sleep at the apartment that day, where she finds and walks in on Marshall, surprising him so much he falls, breaking his toe.
	+ Marshall is especially disappointed, as he had been training hard in order to run the New York City Marathon. Barney complains about his moaning, and states that running a marathon is easy, even without training. Marshall then bets Barney he cannot complete the marathon, and Barney — who has a gambling addiction — accepts the wager.
* **November 5**
	+ The next day in New York City, to the group's surprise, Barney completes the marathon quite easily, and shows no signs of being tired. Marshall pays up on the bet, and tells Barney that marathon runners get to ride the subway free that day. Barney decides to ride the subway and show off the medal he was given for finishing the marathon.
	+ Later, Ted receives a call from Barney, who is stuck on the subway, after finding he is suddenly unable to move his legs. Ted agrees to come and get him at the 86th Street station, but in his rush, does not pay to use the subway, and so jumps the turnstile, explaining his court date in the present, but is tackled by a cop before he can help Barney, leaving him trapped on the train.
	+ In Los Angeles, the team manages to copy the next card with an elaborate plan; but Mahone is arrested by the police while recovering Glenn's device; and Self only manages to get the device. The team is divided whether to save Mahone or move to the next card. They finally choose to rescue him in the court, where Mathewson has also arrived to kill him. Mahone is saved successfully. He calls Mathewson and promises to find him before throwing the number away, which is recovered by Glenn. Meanwhile, Gretchen reunites with her sister, Rita, and daughter, Emily, who believes Rita is her mother. Gretchen recovers a gun and some money from a gift she had given Rita previously and proceeds with plans of working for herself. The General has found out Self's investigation on him and orders a DHS double agent to search his computer and Mathewson to warn him. Blauner finds illegal background in Bagwell's faked career and the latter clears the house and attempts to escape before being attacked by Gretchen.
	+ Later that night, Barney is still stuck on the subway with three thugs, forgotten by Ted. One toys with Barney's medal and he gives it up without a word, and the thugs leave.
* **November 7**
	+ Bagwell offers Morgan to work together. Mahone advises Self to take the fight to the General instead of hiding; and Self makes the latter cancel the assault on him. The team realizes that Scuderi, the next cardholder, is currently in Las Vegas, while they are informed by Smith of Bagwell's whereabouts. Scofield, Mahone and Bellick stay to find Bagwell while the others travel to Vegas. Burrows tells Tancredi of Scofield's condition, which resembles to what killed their mother at that age. The card is successfully copied; but Glenn's indiscretion results in losing the device. Meanwhile, Scofield's team realizes that the call was a ruse by Bagwell; only Mahone manages to escape. Bagwell forces Scofield to reassemble the blueprint hidden in the papers of the book. Mahone finds the house by the GPS devices; but they are already gone as Morgan spotted the devices in time. Morgan kills Blauner as a caution. Scofield manages to complete the blueprint and leads Bagwell to an underground accessed by Bagwell's office in GATE. Mahone arrives and Bagwell is locked in a room. Scofield gets a call from Morgan, who hid herself the whole time.
* **November 8**
	+ Since she came back from San Francisco, Lily has been struggling to find her place in life. While she explores various options — life coach, marine biologist, slam poet, and being a beekeeper — she works an embarrassing job at a Hawaiian-themed restaurant. When the rest of the gang find out and tease her at the restaurant, she finally quits. Ted offers her a job as an office assistant at his architecture firm.
	+ There, Lily is put off by Ted's boss, Hammond Druthers. Druthers is full of himself and extremely condescending to Ted and the other employees. To punish Druthers, Lily "takes away one of his toys" — she steals his prized baseball "signed three times by Pete Rose". Lily explains to Ted that her own form of justice works well on her kindergarten students and that she even used it on a salesperson who was mean to Robin: she stole a pair of khakis that Robin gave to Ted.
	+ Ted is horrified, even after Lily reminds Ted of how mean Druthers is. And the next day, after finding the threatening note "from" his baseball that Lily left behind, Hammond angrily threatens to start firing people until the thief comes forward. Ted urges Lily to return the ball but, when she refuses, he fires her.
	+ The whole time, Lily has been urging Ted to show Druthers his design for the skyscraper that they are working on. Druthers's design is incredibly phallic but he is oblivious. Ted doubts himself compared to the legendary Druthers and refuses to step up. However, when the client sees Druthers's skyscraper, he is scandalized by the "penis" and is about to walk out the door. Ted, realizing that he was wearing his "Justice Khakis" decides to finally show his own design. The client loves Ted's idea and Ted is promoted to project lead. He offers to hire Lily back but she declines explaining that she realized her true calling: being a kindergarten teacher.
	+ Meanwhile, Marshall is struggling with the particularly tough grader, Professor Lewis. In the bar, he casts blame on the fact that she divorced her husband over the summer and just needs to get laid. After confirming that she is attractive, Barney decides she is a cougar and he decides to seduce her, accepting it as a challenge.
	+ Barney manages to convince her to let him into her bed but after a strenuous night, she stuns him with a grade of 'C-'. Marshall says that Barney seems to have only made her angry. Barney sees Professor Lewis again and again she is unimpressed. Finally, he begs her for a final chance. In the end, the gang end up visiting Barney in the hospital because he has dislocated a hip in his efforts to please the cougar. Thankfully, his efforts were rewarded with a 'B+' for Marshall's paper. Barney wants to try to get Marshall an 'A', but Marshall tells Barney to let her go; a cougar belongs in the wild.
* **November 9**
	+ The battle of Raidaway occurs:
		- At the end of the battle, John Morningstar is born to Lucifer Morningstar and Kara Danvers in National City, California. They named their son after Lucifer's brother, John Morningstar.
* **November 12**
	+ The guys go to a coffee shop, where Ted points out that Chloe, the girl working there, has drawn a heart next to Marshall's name on his cup. Ted insists that Chloe has a crush on Marshall because she always laughs at his lame joke about how they fit a pumpkin into a pumpkin-flavored latte. When Marshall approaches Chloe, she gives him her number on a coffee cup. When Marshall introduces Chloe to Ted and Barney at the bar, they tell him that she has the "Crazy Eyes", an indicator of future mental instability. Both Ted and Barney give Marshall examples of their experiences with this malady; Barney's crazy-eyed date wanted a threesome with a teddy bear; Ted's crazy-eyed date picked up a long metal rod and repeatedly hit a car that nearly hit them as they were about to cross the street. Marshall shrugs it off. The next day, as Marshall is taking a test, he receives a call from Chloe who says that she is being followed by a hunchback with a limp. Later, Marshall takes Chloe back to his apartment and suspects that she broke a picture of him and Lily that was sitting on the end table. However, it turns out that Lily has been hiding in the apartment, and pops out (much to Marshall and Chloe's surprise). She introduces herself, and leaves the apartment dejected and crying. Marshall follows her out to the steps, leaving Chloe sitting on the sofa.
	+ Lily confides in Robin that she is scared by the idea of Marshall going out on a date with another woman. Despite hearing that Ted believes she has crazy eyes, Lily wants to see what Chloe looks like. It turns out that Lily was the hunchback following Chloe -- she was carrying a bookbag, then covered herself with a coat to shield herself from the rain (the hump), and limped because she hit her knee. Lily, while visiting Ted and Robin in the apartment, realizes that Marshall has moved the picture of the two of them. She then sneaks into the apartment before Marshall brings Chloe home to put it in a more conspicuous place, and it breaks. While hiding from Marshall and Chloe, she gets upset and then pops out. Marshall realizes that he should get back together with Lily even though he says that Lily has the craziest eyes he's ever seen. 6 months after Ted came back to the apartment and found Marshall alone and upset after the engagement ended, he returns to find Marshall and Lily happy and back together. The gang return upstairs to the apartment, finding it has been ransacked by Chloe who has been "searching" for her "lost" keys which are in fact sitting in plain sight on the coffee table in front of where she had been sitting. Marshall points out the keys and Chloe departs, leaving a nonplussed gang and apparently proving the "Crazy Eyes" theory.
	+ Meanwhile, Chloe writes Barney's name as "Swarley," prompting everyone to call him Swarley for the duration of the episode. Barney protests, but variations on the nickname become a running gag throughout the episode. Just prior to leaving the apartment, Chloe calls Robin "Roland", and Barney tries to use it as an opportunity to stop everyone from calling him "Swarley." In the final scene, however, Barney walks into the bar, everyone shouts "Swarley," and he turns and walks out dejectedly as Carl plays Where Everybody Knows Your Name.
* **November 16**
	+ Marshall and Lily are now back together after Lily proposes to Marshall. After having sex on the kitchen floor (with a creative use of Mrs. Butterworth's), Marshall tells Lily of how his family had harsh words about her when she left for San Francisco and canceled the wedding plans. Lily is embarrassed to have a ceremony in front of Marshall's family, out of fear that they will judge her harshly, so they decide to elope to Atlantic City. They immediately go and find Robin at the news station, Ted at his architecture firm, and Barney at a salon getting a pedicure. After all five get a pedicure, they go to Atlantic City. Lily goes looking for a bouquet and sends Robin to find some clothes that don't make her look better than the bride. Barney, after finding Lily a veil, takes Marshall and Ted to a strip club for an 18-minute bachelor party. When they approach the receptionist at the casino's wedding chapel, they find that the waiting period for a New Jersey marriage license is two days. They go to the courthouse to find a judge who will waive the waiting period, and finally manage to get into a judge's chambers after staking out a bathroom. The judge, impressed by Marshall and Lily's committed, nine-year relationship, almost grants the waiver on the waiting period, but Barney reveals that Marshall and Lily broke up for six months, causing the judge to change his mind. Running out of options, Lily suggests that they get married in international waters where they don't need a marriage license. They find a boat captain willing to marry them, but he wants $5000 to perform the ceremony.
	+ Barney runs into a few Chinese men who he has brief but familiar conversations with, leaving the rest of the gang puzzled. He finally tells the group that he used to visit 'the AC' on a regular basis, but he developed a serious problem and stopped. Barney is sure he can win them the money. He enters a confusing Chinese game Xing Hai Shi Bu Xing ("行還是不行", Chinese for 'Deal or No Deal') that no one else understands. However, after watching the game in action Marshall catches on, and counsels Barney to win enough money to pay the boat captain. Marshall's advice proves sound when Barney wins the game and the gang gets the money.
	+ Marshall and Lily are in the middle of their wedding when they decide they want to (and have to) face Marshall's family. They call off the wedding, however, the captain accidentally marries them. They ask him to undo the marriage, and the event becomes the story of the time that Marshall and Lily were married for 12 seconds.

Burrows suggests an attack on Krantz' car and taking the last card, which is approved. Glenn is cast out of the plan because of his indiscretion that resulted in losing the device. He offers the team's whereabouts to Mathewson in exchange for money and proves his validity by giving the team's plan away, resulting in Sucre being critically shot, whose wounds Tancredi tends to. Glenn goes to meet Mathewson, who shoots and tortures him to tell the team's location. Having followed Glenn by a tracker Scofield put in his laptop, the team arrives and abducts Mathewson, everyone apart from Michael leaves Glenn to succumb to his wounds. Meanwhile, Feng tries to kill Bagwell as he promised; but Morgan convinces him to give them more time. Bagwell instructs Smith to investigate the others. Tancredi reconciles with Morgan because of the team. Deducing that the attempt was for his card not his life, Krantz decides to transfer Scylla.
* **November 18**
	+ The team tortures Mathewson to make him tell Krantz that they are dead while preventing Mahone from taking his revenge until the deed is done. Tancredi is chosen to convince Mathewson; but she fails. It is revealed to be a plan to record his voice using different words and Self assembles those words, making a sentence stating the mission's accomplishment, which Self plays to Krantz on the phone; and he gets relieved and cancels the newspaper coverage he planned. Mahone tortures Mathewson until he agrees to express apology to Pam, after which he is killed. Meanwhile, White starts investigating Blauner's disappearance; but Bagwell solves the situation by manipulating the records, showing the illegal background in Blauner's career, making White to close the case in order to prevent the scandal. Morgan apparently reconciles with Krantz, revealed to have been involved with him before. She finds out about the transfer. The team finds a water pipe blocking their way and manages to get across it, but at the cost of Bellick's life.
	+ The team forces Self to recover Bellick's body and send it to his mother. Sucre reveals that he would have died in the Sona riot, incited by Bagwell, if Bellick hadn't saved the former.

* **November 23**
	+ Ted, Marshall, Lily, and Barney find out that Robin does not want to go to *Willowbrook Mall*, or any mall, and refuses to say why. When the gang discuss it later, Marshall suggests that Robin was married in a mall in Canada, while Barney believes that Robin did porn. They agree to a Slap Bet (where the winner of the bet slaps the loser as hard as he possibly can) and appoint Lily the Slap Bet Commissioner. Ted thinks both ideas are ridiculous, but tries to find out if she had gotten married at a mall. Robin admits that Marshall is correct. Ted promises to keep it a secret, but tells Marshall and Lily. Marshall slaps Barney, but Barney still investigates the subject.
	+ Marshall tells Ted that a database search at *Columbia University* proves that Robin was never married. Robin admits that she lied to get him to stop asking her about it. As the Commissioner, Lily allows Barney to slap Marshall three times.
	+ Startling Robin, Barney reveals that a man in Malaysia has found a video with "Robin Sparkles", and it will appear on *Myspace* shortly. Ted is no longer interested in finding out Robin's secret, but Robin insists that it is time for the secret to be revealed. Barney plays the video's opening, in which Robin (dressed as a schoolgirl) seductively pleads with a teacher not to give her detention. Not wanting to further embarrass Robin, Barney pauses the video, says that he has proved his point, and slaps Marshall. Robin asks Barney why he slapped Marshall, and Barney tells her about the bet and that he thought that Robin had done porn. Robin plays the video, stating that she wishes it were porn. It is a music video where "Robin Sparkles" sings "Let's Go To The Mall", Robin's minor *bubblegum pop* hit in Canada as a teenage pop star.
	+ Marshall points out to Barney that he did not win the slap bet. Lily gives Barney the choice of either ten slaps from Marshall immediately, or five slaps at any time. Barney chooses the five slaps, which Ted refers to as a "horrible call", because Barney must now live in constant fear of being slapped. Robin tells Ted that she is glad Ted knows her secret now. They kiss and Marshall slaps Barney, proclaiming, "That's one". They all enjoy the video, and Marshall glares at Barney.
* **November 26**
	+ Scofield designates the plan for the team, as he will not join them because of his surgery. Morgan arranges a tryst with Krantz, in which she tries to steal his card; but he already knows and tries to kill her before she reminds him of their child; and he spares her and leaves. Scofield decides to join the team and finish the mission before surgery; and Tancredi goes to do her part, revealed to be involving Tabak. Morgan and Bagwell prepare to kill Scofield's team when they come back with Scylla. Smith intercepts Bagwell's call about a buyer and teams up with Self to enter the house, where Feng's men capture them. Scofield's team starts working silently because of the sound sensors. They get past the wall and make a ladder to reach the glass room while using nitrogen gas to avoid the temperature sensors. They finally enter the glass room, which contains a box. As Scofield touches it, Krantz finds out and takes a team to neutralize the threat.
	+ The team takes Krantz hostage and uses the six cards to open the box and recover Scylla. They proceed to Krantz' room, where, he tries to allure them to surrender, reveling that he and Aldo Burrows worked closely.

#### December

* **December 14**
	+ It's winter in New York and Marshall, Lily, Ted and Robin are in "couple's hibernation" leaving Barney out in the cold.
	+ Finally, Barney announces that he has asked his brother, James, to be his wingman. Lily explains to Robin (who has never met James) that James is exactly like Barney except that he's gay. However, when he comes in the door, Robin is shocked to learn that he also happens to be black.
	+ James reveals that he is, in fact, just like Barney: from suits, to laser tag, to blogging. Robin asks about their different color skin but they decline to explain.
	+ James convinces the rest of the gang to join him and Barney for night on the town.
	+ They go to a trendy bar where the two couples promptly find somewhere to sit leaving Barney and James to help each other pick up dates. But James keeps declining any potential suitors causing Robin and Lily to deduce that he's in a relationship. They tell Barney that his brother is in a monogamous relationship. Barney doesn't want to admit it but when he confronts James he finds out James is getting married.
	+ Barney is upset. He and James head back to MacLaren's where Barney demands to know how James could do this. While Barney has no problem with gay marriage in particular, he hates the idea of *marriage*. When James asks Barney to be his best man, Barney refuses.
	+ Barney decides to end the marriage by taking James and the gang to a gay bar and fixing James up with a new man. Lily and Robin enjoy not being hit on and Marshall and Ted revel in the attention they receive. However, the boys soon grow tired of the flirtations of men, and the girls miss the attention. Meanwhile, Barney has no success getting James to stray. Finally, James explains that he and his fiancé Tom are adopting a son. With a baby in the picture, Barney quickly changes his mind about the marriage, excited that he will be an uncle.
* **December 24**
	+ Its Christmas time in the apartment and the whole room is full of festive decorations. Marshall is heading to the law library to work on a report. He leaves with his hands over his eyes claiming that Lily's "Winter Wonderland" is his reward for a job well done.
	+ Lily comes across the old answering machine for the apartment. She and Ted find few messages remaining on the machine. One message was for Marshall, recorded by Ted when the former was still pining over Lily who had left him: "*Hey, Marshall, are you lying on the couch right now moping about Lily? You are, aren't you? Well, stop it! She's not worth it. You gotta get over that bitch!*".
	+ Lily is horrified. She demands to know how Ted could say such a thing. Ted struggles to explain that he had been desperate to get Marshall out of his slump during Lily's absence. He had tried to help him get over it by knocking her off the pedestal Marshall kept her on. He claims he was merely doing his duty as Marshall's best friend.
	+ Down at the bar, Ted recounts all this to Robin and Barney. Robin says that at least he apologized but Ted admits that he had not apologized to Lily. Instead, a fight broke out. Ted maintained that he was only trying to help Marshall after Lily left. In fact, he even states that he won't apologize because that summer she had been a "bitch." Lily says that he will be sorry.
	+ During Ted's conversation with Barney and Robin, it becomes apparent that Barney has a cold. He denies it but fails at picking up a girl when he sneezes all over her.
	+ Ted, Robin and Barney head upstairs with Barney continuing to deny that he is sick. Ted has a mug of beer in hand. He explains to Robin that the beer was an offering he used to make back in college when the two were fighting. However, when they enter the apartment they find that all of "Winter Wonderland" is gone. Lily stole Christmas!
	+ Robin tries to convince Barney that he belongs home in bed after finding him attempting to smoke a cigar out on the fire escape. He is vehement in his assertions of health. Ted gets Lily on the phone and learns that she has taken the decorations to her apartment. She explains that she would deal with a foul-mouthed student by calling their parents. But Ted should know better. She hangs up before Ted can finish demanding she return the decorations. Ted heads out to the Bronx to confront Lily at her apartment.
	+ On the way he speaks to Marshall who is excited about the Winter Wonderland and then is interrupted by a call from his mother who is angry about Ted's bad language. Meanwhile, Robin has convinced Barney to rest in Ted's bed. De-suited, he is miserable about his predicament but allows Robin to feed him soup.
	+ Ted confronts Lily in her apartment which is cramped with the decorations. He begs Lily to come home. He apologizes for calling her "that word" but Lily says he is faking the apology and is still mad. She explains that she apologized to Marshall who has forgiven her and they have moved on. Why can't Ted? Ted admits that he is mad because she never apologized to him. Ted was upset with her for leaving him too. "We're supposed to be friends," he says. They start to argue and Ted calls her a "grinch" again. Ted says that she can return to the apartment because he won't be there and instead will be spending Christmas Eve with his cousin.
	+ Marshall comes home with a package under his arm. Lily has returned the decorations leaving Marshall none-the-wiser. He tells her about the adventure he had getting her the package and then helping the delivery man bring presents to others throughout the day so people will have presents in time for Christmas.
	+ The present is an Easy-Bake Oven. Lily is surprised because, while she had always wanted one as a child, she had never told Marshall. Marshall explains that the suggestion actually came from Ted. One night, back in college, Marshall had gone out; Ted and Lily were high and Lily told Ted about it. Lily is touched that Ted remembered the tidbit and suddenly feels guilty for forcing Ted to spend Christmas with his family.
	+ Ted is on Staten Island spending Christmas with his pregnant, ultra-Christian cousin, Stacy, and her family. The doorbell rings and Ted finds Marshall, Robin, Barney and Lily holding a mug of beer. She and Ted exchange apologies and the gang heads home.
* **December 26**
	+ Gerald Ford dies.

## *`2007`*

#### January

* **January 5**
	+ Robin realizes that she's in love with Ted, but she can't bring herself to say it, instead blurting out "falafel."
* **January 6**
	+ While recounting the story to Lily, Robin admits that she's never said "I love you" to a man before as none of her past relationships have progressed that far.
* **January 7**
	+ Robin's sister Katie is coming to visit New York for the first time, and Ted suggests that he and Robin take her to the Empire State Building.
* **January 8**
	+ When Katie arrives NYC, Robin is surprised to see that she is with her boyfriend Kyle who is in town visiting his cousin. Kyle acts very immature and goes around pointing out how hot he thinks other women are.
	+ Katie tells Robin she's planning on having sex with Kyle and Robin recruits everyone else to help her convince Katie not to.
	+ The gang takes Katie to the Empire State Building, which they use as a thinly-veiled metaphor for waiting for sex. Katie gets annoyed and accuses Robin of being a hypocrite. She says that she read Robin's diary and knows Robin lost her virginity when she was 16. Besides, she's been with Kyle for two months and they've already done everything else. Frustrated, Katie stalks off to smoke.
	+ Everyone reflects on the first time they had sex.
		- Barney tells them a story that turns out to be the plot of Dirty Dancing.
		- Lily and Marshall did it in college; they wanted to wait and make it special, but did it in his dorm room with Ted in the top bunk.
		- In the middle of sex, Robin's boyfriend admitted that he was gay.
	+ Robin says that they only "barely" had sex, and when Lily says it doesn't count, Marshall realizes that she went halfway with her high school boyfriend, Scooter. Lily doesn't understand why Marshall is mad at her, because she didn't really have sex with Scooter. She compares it to being in the Empire State building; they're in the lobby right now, and nobody buys tickets to get to the lobby. It doesn't count if you don't get to the top.
	+ Katie comes back and says she doesn't want to see the Empire State Building anymore and she's going to see Kyle. Robin says that Katie only has one chance to lose her virginity and that she should do it with someone special, not Kyle. Katie points out that Robin has done it with "a hundred" guys and she couldn't have been in love with them all.
	+ Robin insists that she had some kind of feeling for all of them, and Katie puts her on the spot by asking her if she loves Ted. Ted pulls Robin aside and tells her that it's no big deal. Robin says that she just doesn't want to do it too soon. Ted asks, "Like I did?" Robin calls him an "I love you slut" and he calls her an "I love you prude." Ted then takes his "I love you" back.
	+ Eventually, Katie decide to not sleep with Kyle and instead wait for the right guy:
		- Robin says that Katie admits this was because Ted told Katie about his first time, in which he told the girl, Molly, he loved her when he didn't and he never saw her again. He told her that all 17 year old boys just want sex and will say anything to get it, even the nice ones. Katie tells Kyle she wants to wait and he dumps her. Robin tells Ted that the story doesn't sound like him, and he admits that it happened the other way around (the girl didn't mean it when she said she loved him). Robin then tells Ted that she loves him and they kiss.
* **January 10**
	+ Days later, the group takes Katie back to the Empire State Building, and Marshall says that the last trip didn't count because they didn't get out of the lobby. Lily points out that, by that logic, he is the only one she's had sex with.
	+ Later that day, after Katie has left, they go to the bar and egg Barney to tell them the real story of his first time. He tries unsuccessfully to describe sex scenes from various movies (namely *Fast Times at Ridgemont High*, *Risky Business*, and *WarGames*) before admitting that he was 23 and it was with his mother's 45 year old friend Rhonda.
	+ Realizing how much this embarrasses Barney, the group decides to pretend they never heard the real story.
* **January 15**
	+ Self makes Stanton believe that the team has killed him and seized Scylla. The team deduces Self's plan, to sell Scylla and disappear. They unite with Gretchen to find Self, who unites with Bagwell and they take Rita and Emily hostage, forcing Gretchen to give the team away to DHS and find a new buyer. The team is attacked by DHS agents and Burrows is captured. Burrows manages to convince Stanton and Dallow of the truth. They offer a new deal for the team to testify against Self. Scofield instructs Mahone to get Tancredi and Sucre outside the city and proceeds to the warehouse to testify with Burrows. Stanton and Dallow decide to kill the brothers to prevent the scandal. The Company mole kills Stanton and other agents before Sucre arrives and saves them, with the mole being killed. They let Dallow leave. Meanwhile, Krantz kills Scuderi for humiliating him. Bagwell stays at Rita's while Gretchen and Self meet a conduit, who reveals that a piece of Scylla is missing. Self calls Scofield and demands it, who defies him to come and get it.
* **January 18**
	+ The team prepares for Self's attack. They capture Self, who convinces them to let him sell Scylla and the Company will be destroyed anyway. They let him leave, while Sucre hides in his trunk. Self and Gretchen arrive in a motel and Sucre informs the others, who arrive and attack the duo. Scofield's condition makes him collapse; and the duo escape. The Company recovers Scofield. Having put a camera in the warehouse, Self finds where Scofield has hidden the piece and obtains it before calling the conduit. Meanwhile, Bagwell is visited by a man pretending to be a bible salesman. The former finally decides to let Rita and Emily escape and is captured by the man, who is a Company man in fact. Self meets and kills the conduit in order to keep the whole money. Mahone meets FBI agents Lang and Wheeler, who can grant the team immunity in exchange for Scylla. The latter arrests the former after hearing that Scylla is gone. Tabak resigns from the Company. Burrows makes a deal with Krantz to return Scylla in exchange for Scofield's surgery.
* **January 20**
	+ Ted decides to fire his former boss, Hammond Druthers, who is always ridiculing his ideas for the building.
* **January 21**
	+ The first time Ted tries to fire him, he is stopped when his coworkers throw a surprise birthday party for Druthers. When Ted comes to his office later that night, he finds Druthers sleeping in the office since his wife threw him out. Ted tries to fire him again but ends up taking Druthers to the apartment, letting him sleep on the couch.
* **January 22**
	+ The next day, Druthers thanks Ted for letting him stay with him, but still ridicules his ideas in front of others. When Ted tries to fire Druthers the third time, he gets divorce papers from his wife, also telling him that their dog died. When Ted tries to fire him anyways, a few coworkers approach them and shout "Happy Birthday" to Druthers since they missed the previous party as they were in Montreal. Just then Druthers appears to be suffering from a heart attack, but thinking that he is faking it, Ted fires him anyways. Afterwards, Ted's coworkers start to hate him when it turns out that Druthers really did have a heart attack. Later, Ted gets a margarita machine for the office, and everyone forgives him.
	+ Barney finds a nude painting of Marshall at the apartment, and shows it to Ted and Robin. When they show it to Marshall and Lily, Future Ted explains that Lily painted it back at Wesleyan, because Marshall was uncomfortable with Lily painting another guy naked for her art class. To annoy Marshall, Barney hangs the painting at MacLaren's, but Marshall steals it later on.
	+ At the bar, when Lily and Barney are alone, Barney praises Lily's work, and asks her to paint him nude for $5,000. Lily tells him she will think about it and discusses it with Marshall, saying that they will be able to spend their honeymoon in Scotland, near the *Loch Ness Monster*. Marshall agrees, but later stops Lily when she is painting Barney. He tells her privately that they could stay in a castle for another $2,000, so he pretends that he doesn't want Lily to paint Barney, in order to get more money out of him. Barney offers them another $5,000. When Lily is done painting Barney, she quickly leaves with Marshall, and Barney complains that she didn't paint his genitals when they leave.
* **January 24**
	+ Burrows tortures Bagwell and finds Self and Morgan's whereabouts. The former and Sucre arrive at the location; but they are already gone. They keep searching using the Company's surveillance technology and track the duo to a place where they are meeting the buyer's henchman, Scott. The latter takes Scylla and escapes while Self and Morgan are captured. Meanwhile, Scofield goes under surgery and meets Westmoreland in his dream, where he manages to deduce what Scylla really is. The operation is successful and Scofield reveals to Tancredi that Scylla contains next generations technologies that can end the energy crisis and provide infinite energy; and that is why Krantz believes Scylla to be the source of power. Mahone escapes the transfer car and Lang stops him; but he convinces her to let him leave. Sucre departs and Krantz forces Burrows to team up with Self, Morgan and Bagwell in order to recover Scylla. Scofield blames Burrows for his decision. Burrows reveals that their mother worked for the Company and he will continue the family business.
* **January 25**
	+ Burrows' team arrives in Miami, where Scott has been tracked to. Self attempts to force a vote to depose Burrows as the boss and take the position, but it is negated by Mahone's arrival. The team obtains surveillance footage which Morgan investigates and finds Scott, but she doesn't inform the team and arranges a meeting with Scott on her own. Meanwhile, Michael wakes up in a countryside mansion where a Company psychiatrist informs him that his mother, Christina Rose Scofield, is still alive and working for the Company. Michael demands to talk to her, but the psychiatrist replies that they will talk when he decides to join the Company. Tancredi meets Tabak, who gives her Michael's whereabouts. Krantz gives orders for Michael to be given a medical treatment that could kill him, but which will certainly damage his mind; however, he manages to escape with Tancredi's help. He tells Tancredi that he believes his mother is alive. Morgan takes the team to a location where they are ambushed by Scott's men. Morgan changes sides again, being shot by Scott, who is killed along with his men. Morgan is left for the police. Burrows answers the call from the buyer, who is Christina.
* **January 26**
	+ Burrows' team members receive images of their loved ones, sent by Krantz to make them finish the mission. They possess a special key obtained from Scott. They track it and find two locations it is used. Self and Bagwell go for one that is in a church; but they are not allowed inside. Burrows and Mahone arrive in a house where they decrypt a message Christina has left for Burrows where to meet her. Burrows meets Christina in a restaurant, where she asks him to give her time to defeat Krantz, whom Oren attempts to kill as her plan. She has Oren killed for the failure, making Krantz suspect her. The other three attack the church and find guns and special keycards there. Meanwhile, Michael and Tancredi hide in a truck heading to Miami. They are attacked by a man, who is attacked and dies after stating that he doesn't work for Krantz. Michael recovers an encrypted note from him. Burrows decides to meet Christina again, what she instructed him not to. Thus she orders a sniper to shoot him. The team saves Burrows and kills the sniper. Michael and Tancredi arrive in Miami, where they meet Mahone and tell him that they will destroy the Company no matter the cost, making the two teams potential enemies.
* **January 27**
	+ Burrows' team tracks Christina to the Indian embassy and enter it at the cost of Bagwell being beaten. Christina convinces Naveen Banarjee, a politician, to talk about Scylla in the upcoming energy conference, promising him to take care of a scientist named Sandinsky from causing trouble. Burrows' team recovers a note from the embassy. Michael and Tancredi decrypt their note and arrive at the airport Sandinsky's plane is landing. Burrows' team arrives too and abduct Sandinsky while the duo take his cell phone, realizing that he has been in contact with Christina, a claim he denies when asked by Burrows' team. Bagwell secretly informs Krantz that Christina has Scylla; and he decides to go to Miami personally. Michael calls Christina, who tries to reason with him; but he hangs up. Tancredi finds out that she is pregnant. Michael calls Christina again and she manages to track him. She arrives with her men; but this was revealed to be a ruse by Michael, who along with Tancredi abduct her and leave. Krantz arrives and blames Burrows for not telling him about Christina. He gives the team, excluding Bagwell, another chance; and they go to a house and then a bank to acquire a suitcase; but they realize that it was just taken; and they give chase.
* **January 28**
	+ Christina reveals to Michael that Burrows is not his true brother and Aldo adopted Burrows when he lost his parents, who worked for the Company. She also reveals that Burrows is falling in a trap she has set; and Michael rushes to save Burrows before locking her. She finds out about the baby before locking Tancredi and escaping. Bagwell kills Sandinsky on Krantz' order. Burrows' team tracks the man to the energy conference, where Burrows enters before Banarjee is assassinated and Burrows is framed for it. Michael arrives and teams up with him. Michael and Burrows escape to one of the floors. Christina makes a deal with the Indian Prime Minister, who was also Banarjee's father, to sell him Scylla. Self tells Michael and Burrows how the police is going to capture them and kills a DHS agent who spots him.
* **January 29**
	+ Michael finds a countermeasure and they escape the attacking unit, but are spotted by the captain, who is killed by Krantz' operative, who captures the duo. Mahone frees Tancredi and informs Michael, who is brought to Krantz with the others. Krantz punishes them by performing a lottery. Self is picked and Krantz has Self's wife killed and Self escapes, but is critically shot. Michael, Burrows and Mahone find Christina and take Scylla; but Burrows is captured. Bagwell, who overheard Michael and Mahone's conversation, captures Tancredi and brings her to Krantz, who calls Michael and demands Scylla in exchange for her. Christina calls Michael and makes the same demand in exchange for Burrows, critically shooting him to force Michael to hurry.
	+ While walking in the streets of Chicago, Sucre meets Benjamin Franklin, who reveals that there is a man, called Paul, who has great power and is ready to grant Michael and the others immunity in exchange for Scylla. Michael arranges a location with Christina and tries to kill her there; but the police arrive and both parties escape. Burrows tells Michael about the baby and asks him to let him die. Christina loses the deal with Banarjee because of failure to deliver Scylla. Mahone apparently betrays Michael and calls Christina, making a deal to bring Scylla in exchange for his wife, Pam, being saved from the Company. Michael arranges a transaction with Krantz, who leaves without Tancredi, intending to kill Michael after taking Scylla. Bagwell tries to rape her; but Michael arrives and rescues her. Meanwhile, the FBI interrogates Self in the hospital until Christina's assistant, posed as a doctor, arrives and injects him with toxic substance. Mahone gives a device to Christina for testing and enters the room Burrows is held. The device is revealed to be a bomb instead of Scylla; and this is all revealed to be Michael's plan to save everyone.

#### February

* **February 1**
	+ The bomb detonates and Mahone and Burrows escape; but Christina survives. Michael, Burrows, Mahone and Tancredi reunite and decide to destroy Scylla before Paul Kellerman, revealed to have been saved by Aldo's men during his transfer, calls and offers them freedom in exchange for Scylla.
* **February 2**
	+ Self gets paralyzed as a result of the injection. Bagwell arranges a meeting with Sucre and is captured by him and Franklin. The duo starts torturing him to find the others. They take Burrows outside a hospital and Mahone covers for Tancredi to take the necessary tools, but is arrested by the FBI himself. The trio are captured by the Company operatives. Sucre and Franklin arrive and kill Krantz' men; Tancredi convinces Michael to spare Krantz' life and they lock him before leaving. They are attacked by Christina, whom Tancredi kills.
	+ Michael gives Scylla to Kellerman and Michael, Burrows, Tancredi, Sucre, Franklin and Mahone are given immunity. Krantz and Bagwell are arrested, with Krantz receiving the death penalty months later.
* **February 3**
	+ The gang is excitedly planning their traditional Super Bowl viewing party when Wendy tells them about the death and funeral of Mark (who the gang admit they don't even know once Wendy is gone). Because attending the funeral would mean missing the Super Bowl (and because they don't even know Mark) they decide they can just send flowers. That is, until Carl throws another patron out of the bar for suggesting the same thing.
* **February 4**
	+ The next night, after praying to the TiVo gods, they head to the funeral with plans to watch the Super Bowl after. But the wake at the bar lasts for hours and they realize they won't have time to watch the game that night. Lily says they should give up on watching it and check the score. But Ted reminds them of the importance of watching it together by talking about previous games and how they watched it.
	+ The first year (2003) the tradition starts with Lily excited about commercials and Marshall loving the wings. The next year (2004), Marshall gets Barney started with gambling. By 2006, it's a full-fledged addiction and Robin is becoming part of the tradition (where she fits in great). In deference to the sacred traditions, the gang make a pact to avoid hearing anything about the game until they can watch it together.
* **February 5**
	+ Ted decides to work from home to avoid contamination. Barney arrives and handcuffs himself to the radiator so he won't check the score. He explains he has a lot of money riding on the game. Ted leaves him alone while he goes to get the wings. He wears the "Sensory Deprivator 5000" to keep from learning anything about the game while he goes to the sports bar. He returns to the apartment, but realizes he has to make a second trip out for missing dipping sauce and heads back out. He slips on a stray pool ball and narrowly avoids hearing the score.
	+ While Ted is gone, Barney escapes. He races down the street trying to find someone who can tell him the score. However, no one seems to know anything. Not even Emmitt Smith. He finally gets the score to discover how much he has lost in a newspaper.
	+ Meanwhile, Robin has particular difficulties because she works at a news station. She cries about how she has lost her friend Mark and her coworkers sympathize and censor themselves. But a field reporter blurts out the winning team on an unrelated story ruining things for Robin.
	+ At the same time, Marshall is hiding out with Lily and her kindergarten class. But one of the students, Doug, sees an opportunity for profit when he learns Marshall is trying to avoid hearing the score. He extorts 10 bucks from Marshall but continues to torment Marshall because he is in love with Lily.
	+ Marshall finally gets Doug off his back by blackmailing him with a splash of juice in his lap and the embarrassment of being seen with wet pants and demanded Doug a refund along with his pudding snack pack. Marshall and Lily make it through the day without hearing the score until they pass by the janitor who is listening to it on the radio.
	+ The gang meet back at the apartment that night. Everybody but Ted knows the score but don't let on. However, Ted still learns the outcome of the game too early: Knowing who Barney has bet on means that Barney's devastated screams in the next room spoil the result of the game. However, they decide to watch the game anyway and have a great time.
* **February 8**
	+ Ted and Robin are running through the airport, trying to catch a plane to Chicago, where Ted has an interview with a large architecture firm for the job of running the New York branch of the company. As they reach their gate, the attendant tells them that she cannot let them on the flight. They explain that Ted had to attend a court date that morning for jumping a subway turnstile, and she asks them to wait while she talks with the flight. While they wait, Robin suggests that their lateness was in fact Barney's fault.
	+ Ted and Robin discuss the events of when Marshall had just broken his toe before Ted agrees the whole situation is Barney's fault. The attendant then tells them that their flight has already left, but they may be able to catch another flight leaving shortly. While making their way to the other gate, Ted remembers why Barney ran the marathon in the first place and realizes that it's actually Robin to blame for the lateness.
	+ Ted summarizes that if Marshall hadn't broken his toe, Barney would not have run, and not been stuck on the subway, so Ted would not have had to go to court, and they would not have been late. Robin tells Ted that she isn't to blame, and the reason why she was at the apartment that morning was because of Lily.
	+ Meanwhile, Ted and Robin reach the second flight in time, and ask if there are any seats. While the attendant searches, Ted realizes it wasn't Lily's fault.
	+ Knowing the story doesn't go back any further (since there's no point in blaming the person who lost the penny in the first place), Ted concludes it was his own fault for missing the first flight. Ted is then told there are no seats on the second flight, meaning that he has to miss the interview. Ted is upset, but Robin comforts him and tells him that if the firm wants him they'll reschedule the interview.
* **February 10**
	+ Lucifer Morningstar and Kara Danvers' wedding is held in National City, where it is attended by Amenadiel, Maze, Kara's adopted family, including Alex, Ted Mosby, Lily Aldrin, Marshall Eriksen, Barney Stinson, Robin Scherbatsky, the Queen family, including Oliver, the Lance family, the West family as well as a soon-to-be 18-year-old Barry Allen. Lucifer Morningstar and Kara Danvers gets married.
	+ Later that day, Lucifer and Kara's wedding party is held and is made a memorable day in their lives.
* **February 15**
	+ Ted has been confusing his memories of events with Robin with events with his previous girlfriends. To hide this, he repeatedly claims that he shared all of these experiences with his sister, so Robin does not get jealous. When he tells her this, she claims that he doesn't need to hide his exes, as they are both mature adults. When Ted reveals that a number of his possessions were given to him by old girlfriends, Robin is less calm and tells Ted to get rid of these things. Ted disagrees, so they ask Marshall, Lily, and Barney for their opinions. The group sides with Robin, and Ted eventually agrees to get rid of the gifts.
* **February 16**
	+ Robin later reveals that her five dogs are actually all gifts from ex-boyfriends. This sparks the fight again, as Ted starts to see her dogs as the actual boyfriends. Feeling that this might be unfair, Robin agrees to give her dogs to her aunt for a while to make Ted feel better.
	+ Ted, seeing that Robin kept gifts from her old partners, decides to reclaim the stuff from his ex-girlfriends. This causes a big argument, after which they decide to move in together.
* **February 17**
	+ Lily forces the whole group to come to her play, despite protestations from Barney. The play is shown to be extremely long and dull, and all four of them hate it, though Barney is the only one to actually tell Lily his honest opinion. Lily argues that friends are supposed to be nice to each other and tells Barney that, if he were in a play, she would watch it and have only good things to say about it. Barney sees this as a challenge and puts on his own one-man show. When the show begins, it is clear the show (titled *Suck It, Lily*) has been designed to get back at Lily. During in the show, he repeats the word "moist" (a word that Lily was shown to hate earlier in the episode), sprays the audience (in particular Lily) with a water pistol, dresses as a robot, and plays the recorder terribly. Lily eventually gives in and admits she has nothing nice to say about his show, and the group then decide to leave. Barney, however, still wants to perform a second act, which is so bad that Marshall slaps him for the second time, thanks to the Slap Bet.
* **February 22**
	+ Ted and Marshall begin the story in Marshall's Pontiac Fiero. The car is about to hit 200,000 miles on the odometer, and Marshall is excited, since the Fiero has served him well. He even has cigars in the glove box ready for the occasion, although Ted can only find two sets of chopsticks. However, Marshall hits a pothole, and the Fiero quits running just before it hits 200,000 miles. In the shop, Marshall is saddened, and everyone begins sharing stories about the Fiero.
	+ Marshall tells the story of how he had to prove himself worthy in the eyes of his brothers by ordering 12 cups of coffee at the drive-thru while sitting naked in the front seat (his brothers jumped out and surprised him, causing him to jerk the car and make the hot coffee spill all over him). He also uses this to tell why he has never allowed food or drink in the Fiero (not even groceries). Ted then tells his memorable moment with the Fiero, known as both "Fieroasco" and the "100k Fiasco" (the Fiero was approaching 100,000 miles at that time), which began during their freshman year of college, when Marshall offered to pick Ted up from his parents' house in Ohio on his way back to college from Minnesota after Christmas break. Ted tells of how they got lost on a back road and had to cuddle together to stay warm when a snowstorm hit, and then found out they were parked in front of a small bed-and-breakfast with people staring at them the next morning.
	+ Lily and Robin then feel the need to come clean about something, and they tell Marshall about the time they took the Fiero to get Thai food but spilled it in the passenger compartment. They carefully cleaned it up, smoked the cigars that Marshall had been saving for the passing of 200,000 miles, and wrapped two chopsticks in napkins, hoping Marshall would never discover what they did. Finally, Barney says that he doesn't understand any of their feelings for the car. Ted then tells of Barney's only memory with the Fiero, which was the time Ted taught Barney how to drive on it, and Barney was scared of driving ever again (even though he never left the parking lot or went much above 10 mph). Although all 5 of them attempt to push the car to 200,000 miles, they give up, and say goodbye to the car.
* **February 27**
	+ Ray Bulgarin tries to kill Niko Bellic, after one of the operations has failed.

#### March

* **March 5**
	+ Ted and Robin have decided to move in together. Initially Barney likes this idea, and asks Lily and Marshall if he can use the apartment to sleep with other women, since his apartment is a 23 minute cab ride away, and that has ruined several opportunities for him (women have fallen asleep on him, made up with their boyfriends, or even been arrested for indecent exposure). Barney then decides it is the wrong thing for Ted to do, and takes the moving truck (which has all of Ted's belongings, except one of the swords on the wall and a bunch of lids), and will not give it back to Ted until Ted completes a series of challenges. After having some "bro time" with Barney, Ted cannot get the truck back, but once he returns to Robin's apartment, he realizes where the truck is (behind the bar and being used as a second apartment for Barney), and gets it back from Barney. However, at the same time, Ted and Robin have realized that moving in together was not a good idea, since Robin was not excited of the idea of Ted moving all of his things in to her apartment, and always suggested that he should put his stuff in her basement storage area. Also, unbeknownst to Ted, Robin smokes and has a subscription to *Guns and Ammo*. They decide that it is best for Ted to move back in with Marshall and Lily.
	+ Marshall and Lily were initially excited that Ted was moving out, since they would now have the place all to themselves. They enjoy lounging around naked and having sex on the couch, but soon find out that things have changed a lot. Ted took all of his stuff, which included the microwave, a lot of the food, the towels, and other things Marshall and Lily did not realize that Ted owned. Marshall decides to try being the provider, but after forgetting toilet paper after he got a lot of other things they now needed, realizes that he and Lily need Ted to survive. Although Lily is against the idea of them marrying Ted, she also realizes how much they need Ted, and when Ted comes back and tells them that things did not work out and he is moving back in, they give Ted a group hug and tell him not to leave.

* **March 25**
	+ Cailey Fleming is born.
* **March 30**
	+ Ted's planned bachelor party involved watching a boxing match and eating large steaks from a cow he bought online. Barney foils this by amazingly getting a stripper called Treasure into the hotel room (even though Barney thought that they were going to Atlantic City rather than Foxwoods). To make matters worse, Treasure breaks her ankle, causing everyone to miss the boxing match as she must go to the hospital, and then Barney demands that she continue on with the rest of her show, as she wants to do it. The rest of her show causes everyone but Barney to lose their appetite, and to top it all off, they are kicked out of the hotel. Marshall and Ted return to MacLaren's Bar, mad that Barney ruined the bachelor party.
	+ Meanwhile, Robin is in an awkward position at Lily's bridal shower, since (under Barney's advice) Robin has gotten her a "battery-powered adult recreational fake penis" (instead of a see-through nightie), and most of Lily's guests are much older family members. Robin tries to stop Lily from opening the gift and finally switches cards with another present to disguise her gift. When Lily opens Robin's gift (which Lily believes to be from her grandmother), Lily is shocked, but then Robin reveals that it was actually her gift, and Lily, as well as the other women, react much more mildly than Robin expected.
	+ Lily and Robin go down to the bar afterwards and are surprised to see Ted and Marshall there. They explain that Barney ruined the bachelor party, and Marshall is even considering not inviting Barney to the wedding. Lily reveals a story: During the summer of 2006 when the engagement was broken off, Barney flew out to San Francisco and told Lily to come back, as he thought they belonged together, and that she would lose Marshall forever. Barney tells Lily that he cannot keep stealing girls from Marshall forever, implying that he has been trying to provide an opportunity for Lily to return. At this point, Barney is made co-best man with Ted, and Marshall is happy that Barney cared about their relationship.

The proposal was actually meant for a couple at another table; when the mix-up is clarified, the other woman accepts, but Robin's horror and subsequent relief unearths unresolved issues between Ted and her.
	+ The restaurant owner recognizes Ted is the man who stole his blue French horn. Ted runs away, but runs into a waiter, food getting all over Robin and him. The restaurant owner forces Ted to return the blue French horn in order to get his credit card and driver's license back. They go to Robin's apartment, and Robin discusses that she doesn't want to settle down, and that she has always wanted to travel the world, going to places such as Argentina.

Since he just finished a big project at work, he feels that now is as good a time as ever to travel the world.
	+ Ted and Robin then discuss the issue of kids. Robin doesn't want to have kids, but tells Ted that "if I were to have anyone's kids, I'd have yours." They start to kiss and initially decide to hold off on sex because neither one has a condom, but then decide to take the risk.

	+ While living with Robin, Lily tries on her dress, only to find she has lost so much weight that it no longer fits. Since fixing the dress is too expensive, Robin puts Lily on a diet where she is forced to eat as much as possible before the wedding. Lily enjoys it at first, but finds that she has actually lost weight, causing Robin to put more pressure on her, until she gives up.
	+ Meanwhile, Ted is having trouble writing a best man's speech which Marshall is happy with, as he wants no mention of sex or drinking. Ted then tries a funny story about how Marshall accidentally first said "I love you" to Lily, but Marshall doesn't want her to hear it. Finally, Ted tries to censor a night out by replacing shots of alcohol with chocolate milk, and sex with holding hands. When Marshall complains this story is boring, Ted states that this is the best he can do with Marshall censoring him.
* **May 2**
	+ After being called on down by TPIR announcer Rich Fields, Barney's knowledge of prices is shown to be excellent to the point where, while playing Clock Game, he spends most of the 30 seconds he is given showing Barker pictures of himself. He tells the price of his prize at the last second, gets a dollar on the Big Wheel in the Showcase Showdown, and bids the exact price of his Showcase (thereby winning both), but in the end loses the nerve to tell Barker that he believes the host is his father; instead, Barney congratulates him for "35 years of hosting *The Price is Right*". He then gives most of his prizes to Marshall and Lily for their wedding.

	+ Lily, who had been looking onto the bright side, finally falls apart when she can't find her bridal panties that say Property of Marshall.
	+ Meanwhile, Barney discovers that he can get people at the wedding to do anything he wants without question simply by telling them "it's for the bride." He uses this trick to get drinks and a girl's phone number, among other things.
	+ Marshall is also having a bad time, one of Lily's relatives gave him highlighted tips in his hair, and in an attempt to correct it, he shaves off a patch of hair. The guys try to come up with a plan to hide the bald spot.
	+ When Marshall and Lily see each other outside, and are ready to admit defeat, Ted comes up with a plan. Since both Marshall and Lily always wanted a small wedding in a park, Ted suggests that they go outside, hold a small ceremony like they always wanted, and then go perform the ceremony in front of all of their guests.
	+ With Barney recently licensed to marry people, the gang borrows a hat from a passerby and a person starts to play a guitar.

	+ Later, Ted is making his speech, and is telling them about his difficulties writing the speech, until he found Marshall coming back to the apartment in the middle of the night. It is revealed that Lily and Marshall had been sneaking out every night and meeting at a hotel to spend time together, and also for Lily to eat enough to fit into her dress.
	+ With Marshall and Lily's wedding reception in full swing, Ted and Robin begin discussing a big announcement, and when Barney overhears, he harasses them until they relent, telling him of what happened 2–3 weeks before the wedding. Ted and Robin say that they haven't revealed it before because of the wedding.
	+ Barney reacts in horror at the thought they might marry, and Ted reveals Robin reacted with similar horror. The proposal was actually meant for a couple at another table. Barney is again disgusted by this idea, not on the terms of their relationship, but due to concerns of his being lonely in New York and Argentina being economically unstable. At one point, Barney is absolutely scared, seeing Marshall and Lily getting married and Ted and Robin raising kids. Furthermore, while Ted is drinking at the reception, Robin has a bottle of water instead and also catches the bouquet, leading Barney to believe that the rumors are true.
	+ As Marshall and Lily leave on the honeymoon, Ted and Robin then reveal that after they had sex that night, they realized that their relationship wasn't exactly heading in a direction either of them wanted to follow. After exactly a year of being together in a relationship, Ted and Robin had broke up. This further stuns Barney, who wondered why he hadn't heard. They explain that they decided to hold off announcing the breakup because of Lily and Marshall's impending wedding. As Robin is asked by a little boy for a dance at the wedding reception, Barney tells Ted that even though he had always publicly stated that Ted and Robin weren't meant to be together, he thought that they were a good couple. Ted agrees, but says that they weren't headed in the same direction. Ted then gets a drink from the bar and a cigar from Barney, and tells Barney that he's going to need a wingman again, at which point Barney is excited.
	+ Meanwhile, Marshall and Lily could not eat at their own wedding reception because of things such as food being taken right out from under them and relatives congratulating them just as they were about to get a bite. Lily also becomes drunk, and misses in her attempt to feed Marshall some cake. In the limo, which is driven by Ranjit, Marshall asks to stop at a fast-food restaurant so that they can get something to eat. At the restaurant, Marshall begins to fully realize that Lily is his wife, and his realization makes him very happy. With Ted accepting Barney as his wingman, and Barney declaring the summer is going to be "Legen— wait for it..... dary!" and he tries to get Ted out to help him "conquer New York" but Ted says he is not ready yet, prompting Barney to ask when he will be ready.

	+ Marshall finally tires of Ted's never-ending presence and his invasion on the married couple's personal space, so he decides to buy a new apartment with Lily. He begins searching in a neighborhood called 'Dowisetrepla', which is explained as part of New York City's tendency to shorten neighborhood names, and is supposedly an up-and-coming neighborhood in the city.
	+ Marshall falls in love with the apartment in Dowisetrepla, imagining himself playing drums in a band with his future sons. Lily feels guilty because of the huge credit card debt she hides from Marshall, but still imagines herself painting with two daughters, and so eventually ends up saying that she loves it.

* **November 12**
	+ Ted thinks that he has found the perfect girl, Cathy, but the group disagrees.
* **November 13**
	+ At first they refuse to give a reason so as not to "spoil" her for him, but eventually Marshall tells him that she talks too much. Now that Ted knows, he cannot stand her garrulousness. The five friends then let slip each other's flaws until all are "spoiled", and thus are more annoying to those who had previously not noticed the flaws:
		- Lily: chewing loudly (pointed out by Ted)
		- Marshall: singing about whatever he is doing at the moment, or nonsense (pointed out by Robin)
		- Ted: correcting people (pointed out by Lily)
		- Robin: overusing and misusing the word "literally" (pointed out by Ted)
		- Barney: speaking in a falsetto, overusing catch phrases, and spacing out when his friends are talking to him (pointed out by Marshall, Robin and Ted)
	+ Whenever one or more of the group has these quirks pointed out to them, the sound of glass shattering is heard whomever's flaw is discovered. This represents the shattering of their illusions about one another.
	+ Meanwhile, Marshall's bar exam results have been released, but he cannot remember the password he needs to retrieve the results online (thus saving him from waiting months for a notification by mail), even while classmates Brad and Kara have passed. Barney offers to help but this is only a ruse, and, with Marshall angry at Barney and the whole gang annoyed with one another, the arguments reach a climax.
	+ The argument is halted when the group mockingly sings one of Marshall's 'nonsense' songs; the song was actually a mnemonic device to help Marshall remember his password for the bar exam results website. He enters it and proudly announces "I'm a lawyer." The group then celebrates with champagne at MacLaren's, with each sliding back into their bad habits.

They fight, but end the night by having sex.

After the two discuss how weird it is to be around each other they come to the realization that they're not friends, and sadly agree that after the dinner they shouldn't see each other again.
	+ Later, over the dinner Bob uses the phrase 'major buzzkill', causing Ted and Robin to salute without thinking, making them realize there's still a connection between them and they can still be friends. Future Ted tells his kids that he had a great evening with his friends (and Bob), and that's why he takes them to Marshall and Lily's to spend Thanksgiving every year. Barney begins to taunt a dismayed Marshall as the countdown enters the last ten seconds. Lily warns him not to but when Barney keeps going regardless, she allows the slap to happen with only three seconds to go. Overjoyed, Marshall slaps Barney immediately sending him flying across the room before singing 'You Just Got Slapped' (a song of his own creation).

Barney highlights the eight stages which this relationship inevitably goes through and applies his theory on three previous failed relationships: his dating of Wendy the Waitress in 2005, Marshall and Lily befriending their neighbors in 2006, and Robin dating co-anchor Curt Irons in 2007.

	+ Marshall and Ted are working on filling in the brackets for the college basketball playoff games when the girls come into the living room and ask what they are doing. Lily asks where he got the blackboard and Marshall tells her that he found it, but Marshall recounts in his head that they stole the blackboard from Lily's classroom. Barney walks in and tells them that the team that they bet on just lost. Barney tells everyone that he went to the hardware store to pick up girls. He hits on a girl in the store and when Barney returns after getting something, she slaps him. This also happened at the dog store and the museum; every time he returns, he gets slapped. Barney can't figure out what is going on.
* **March 31**
	+ Barney and Lily meet up at the bar and when Barney walks off to get something, a girl approaches Lily and tells her that he will say whatever just to get into her pants. Lily is upset and tells Barney, but they can't find her and Barney can't figure out who it is. Barney tries to think about who it could be and goes through hundreds of girls in his mind and he gets overloaded.
	+ Barney complains to everyone and Ted suggests that he looks at the list of girls that he has slept with. Barney brings everyone to see the scrapbook he has made and Lily can't find who the girl is. Barney gets an idea that he put the girls on the bracket chart that Marshall and Ted have and he suggests that they discuss the girls and figure out who it is. No one wants to do it, but Barney brought beer. They all argue about who has the most reason to hate him and sabotage him. After several hours, they have come to the final four and decide to contact all of the women. Lily and Barney first visit Meg, the girl that he slept with in the first apartment that Marshall and Lily bought. Barney wants to hide from her, but Lily makes him apologize to her. When Meg sees them, she runs up to Barney and kisses him. When Lily breaks them up, she tells Barney that she isn't the one, but he has to apologize to her, but he quickly walks off in the other direction. The next girl, Anna, got lied to that Barney was Ted. She tells him that she has a website, tedmosbyisajerk.com. Barney stands on a table and tells the whole restaurant that Ted Mosby is a jerk and to go to the website.
	+ The next girl is Kate, whom Barney told that he had a twin brother, and had sex with her twice. She immediately attacks him and Lily makes sure to get a picture. The next, and last girl, is Holly. Barney recalls the story of leaving her in the woods by herself and a bear comes after her. Lily gripes at him and tells him that it is the worst thing he has ever done. Holly answers the door and meets Mark, her fiancé. They invite Barney and Lily in the house and have coffee. Barney says that that was the worst Fourth of July, but Mark reminds Holly that they started dating in June. This reveals Holly was cheating on Mark with Barney, as she nervously smiles.
	+ Lily gripes at Barney when they get back to the apartment that he never apologized to any of the women. Barney doesn't think that is bad, but what he does think is bad is that he still doesn't know who the woman is. Robin suggests that they set her up and Robin will be the girl that Barney is hitting on. Robin sets up the scene that Lily will be at the jukebox, the guys will be at the booth having a normal conversation, and Robin will walk up and get hit on by Barney. Robin asks what he tells women to get them to have sex with him and he tells her and she gets a little turned on. When Robin sees someone coming in, Barney walks off to the bathroom and the girl approaches Robin. Barney returns from the bathroom and looks on the bracket to find her, but she isn't there and he doesn't recognize her at all. When she walks off, Barney intercepts her and tells her that he doesn't recognize her and he apologizes to her. Lily walks up and tells him that she isn't the girl and the girl walks away. Lily takes a picture and names it "Barney's Redemption." There is a montage of what Barney has done to girls over the years.
	+ Barney writes in his blog on the computer: "Sometimes we search for one thing but discover another. Even though I didn't find the mystery girl…I did find out something very important about myself…I'm awesome." A girl interrupts him and asks him to come back to bed with her since he has to go in outer space tomorrow.

#### April

* **April 4**
	+ Meanwhile, Ted has bought himself a new car. All of his friends think a nice car is totally unnecessary in New York City and proceed to eat ice cream and smoke cigars inside the car, despite Ted's protests.
	+ After Marshall witnesses a work buddy get yelled at after handing in a report, he becomes paranoid that his boss, who is nicknamed "Artillery Arthur," will do the same to him after failing to complete a report on time (which is nicknamed the "Ninja Report" for easier understanding for the gang).
	+ Marshall explains that he doesn't know how to face Mr. Hobbs the next day.
	+ Robin suggests that he threatens him with a gun, but Ted comes up with another solution of talking like Abraham Lincoln. Marshall tells Ted that it isn't possible and tells him what he would say to Arthur, but he just calls security.
	+ Marshall doesn't think that any of these ideas would work, but Barney gives him an example of Gary Blauman and what happened to him during a meeting. Bilson yells at him in front of other people, but he interrupts him and tells him to "Kiss my ass!" since his cousin just had a website start up and was making money. He then stands on top of the conference table and tries to pee, but he gets performance anxiety and then eventually gives up. Barney tells him that the cousin's website eventually ended, Gary started working as a janitor, and eventually died (however, this turns out to be untrue as Gary Blauman is still alive.
	+ Barney tells Marshall that the moral of the story is to not yell at your boss because there is something called the "chain of screaming" and that it starts at the top. He gives an example of Artillery Arthur and tells everyone that Arthur's boss's boss screams at Arthur's boss, then on down the chain it goes until it gets to Lily who screams at a student who then screams at her father who turns out to be Arthur's boss' boss.
	+ Barney explains that Marshall *shouldn't* deal with it - the way that the chain (or circle) of screaming works is that one person screams at someone "below" him, then that person screams at another person, and so on.
* **April 5**
	+ The next night, Lily and Ted are in the apartment looking at carpet samples for the new apartment and Marshall calls Ted and tells him to come downstairs without letting Lily know that it is him.
	+ Ted walks outside and finds Marshall stuffing his face. He explains that he and Barney went to a diner and was urged by Barney to scream at the waiter, but couldn't do it - the waiter screamed at Marshall instead.
* **April 6**
	+ The next day, Marshall finally lets out his feelings towards Arthur and, in the end, quits his job at Nicholson, Hewitt, and West.
	+ Eventually, Ted sells the car and gives the proceeds to Marshall to help pay for the apartment since he no longer has his high-paying job.
* **April 12**
	+ While in Afghanistan, John Diggle saves terrorist Gholem Qadir, and he meets Lyla Michaels.
* **April 14**
	+ At MacLaren's, the gang notices how dressed up Robin is. They compliment her stunning cleavage, then ask the occasion and Robin announces her first boyfriend, Simon, plans to catch up for a drink. Simon was also a famous teen star, fronting a rock band and winning Mr. Teen Winnipeg in a beauty contest.
	+ After some Canada themed virginity jokes, Robin tells the gang about Simon's cruel break up method: He waited until she had loaded all of his band's equipment into their van, then told her he was leaving her for Louise Marsh, because her parents had just installed a pool. When Robin goes to leave, Simon tells her she still has one piece of equipment left to load into the van. The gang is disappointed to learn she loaded it, despite just being cruelly dumped.
	+ The group agrees that when exes meet up for the first time after ending the relationship, there is always a clear winner and a clear loser. They begin to tally points for who will "win" Robin and Simon's reunion. Robin receives two from Barney for her cleavage, one from Ted for Simon still living with his mother, one from Lily because Simon never became a rock star, and a final one Marshall initially gives to Simon because he now works at a water park, but gives the point to Robin when she tells him the water park doesn't have a wave pool. The gang is convinced Robin will clearly win. Robin says there is no way Simon could come back from a 5-0 deficit, unless he somehow got more attractive.
	+ Simon walks into the bar, and it is immediately clear that Robin is the winner: Simon is balding, overweight, and wearing clothes that weren't even in style back in the 80's. While the whole group looks at Simon with disdain and prepare for Robin to realize she's the winner Robin instead reverts back to being 16 again, giggling uncontrollably and exclaiming "Oh my god!" when Simon says "Hey babe."
	+ After Robin's reunion with Simon, the group retires to the apartment and begins criticizing the way Robin handled the meeting. Several flashbacks follow, including Simon calling Robin "old", his refusal to pay $4 for a beer (pulling one out of his cargo pants instead), bragging about his job at the water park as being more important than Robin's journalism, and his claim that his band, The Foreskins, are about to take off (just as he did when he and Robin were teenagers). The meeting ends when Barney asks how the two met. Simon says he was in her music video. When Barney notes he's not in Let's Go To The Mall, Simon clarifies that he was in "her other one." Barney bolts out of the bar when he realizes there's a second Robin Sparkles video out there somewhere. In the apartment, Barney initially tries Googling and kindly asks Robin to just hand the video over. She refuses and he vows to not eat or sleep until he finds it.
	+ When Robin attempts to defend her actions around Simon, the group discusses how being around someone from your past can cause you to revert back to the person you were when you knew them then - a phenomenon Marshall dubs "revertigo." Marshall and Ted tell Robin and Barney that Lily suffers from this more than anyone else; to prove it, they have Lily invite her high school friend, Michelle, to hang out with them.
* **April 15**
	+ Michelle, who is almost done with her dissertation to get her Ph.D. in behavioral psychology, later states that the proper psychological term for revertigo is "associative regression."
* **April 16**
	+ The group is hanging out MacLaren's the next day when Robin tells them Simon came to her apartment the night before, claiming that breaking up with her was the biggest mistake of his life. He asks her out on a date, which she happily accepts. The gang is disappointed.
* **April 17**
	+ The next night, after a show with only Robin in attendance, Simon demands that Robin play a demo of his band's new album on the news the following day at work.
* **April 18**
	+ The news agrees to play Murder Train over images of dogs in need of adoption. Robin explains it got all the dogs adopted because the song made people think the network was going to kill them.
	+ Michelle, Lily's high school friend arrives. She is African-American and Lily, upon seeing her, immediately begins speaking in the most unrealistic, but highly amusing, "urban" style imaginable, as does Michelle.
	+ The group continues to discuss other members' "revertigo", which also includes Ted and his high school friend, Punchy, who challenge each other to fights the minute they see each other.
* **April 19**
	+ After another show, Simon once again breaks up with Robin as she loads his equipment into the back of his van — and once again tells her it's because Louise Marsh's parents have installed a jacuzzi.
* **April 20**
	+ Robin tells the rest of the group back at the bar. They all do their best to console her, but are ultimately unsuccessful. They all eventually have to leave one by one. Robin remains in the bar drinking alone and becoming emotional, until Barney arrives to complain about not being able to find her music video.
	+ Upon realizing Robin is crying, Barney asks what happened. Initially, he finds it funny that Robin got dumped for the same reason twice, but when she continues crying he rushes to console her. He tells her she doesn't need to be 16 again because now she has become the most amazing person he knows (besides himself).
	+ Robin asks him if he'd like to come back to her place, whispering something to him to make him say yes. They sit nervously on the couch before Barney asks "Should I just put it in?" Robin says yes and Barney puts the music video tape into the VCR. Robin reveals her second music video to him - her "big artistic follow up" called Sandcastles in the Sand. It was not a hit single. Barney loves the video, making snarky comments throughout. They watch the video over and over, with Robin gradually sitting closer and closer to Barney, and suddenly "they stopped watching", Barney and Robin have begun making out.
	+ In aftermath of watching *Sandcastles in the Sand*, Barney and Robin are in bed together after hooking up.
	+ Robin proposes that they pretend their tryst never happened, and Barney agrees.
* **April 21**
	+ However, Barney feels quite awkward and uncomfortable around Ted at MacLaren's later in the day.
* **April 22**
	+ Hoping to find an excuse for his and Robin's actions, Barney seeks out Marshall to help him find a loophole in the Bro Code, a document very important to Barney's life as a bro (including articles placing bros before hoes, banning bros from hooking up with each other's mothers, and banning eye-contact between bros during a Devil's Three-way). Allegedly written by Barnabus Stinson in the 18th century when *Benjamin Franklin* and *George Washington* were too busy to write it themselves, the Bro Code proves to be a very tight document that Ted has followed flawlessly and Marshall fails in finding a loophole.
* **April 25**
	+ Though she seems fine with it at first, Robin finds the secret even harder to keep than Barney and eventually admits to Ted that she and Barney slept together.
	+ That night, when Barney picks up Ted in a limo to take him to Ted's 30th birthday party, an outraged Ted yells at Barney, telling him how wrong it was to sleep with his best friend's ex-girlfriend and that Barney has always tried to use Bro code against Ted but didn't even have the decency to stand by it and that he is the bad Bro and that he always thought that he was the limit to Barney's ridiculous antics.
	+ Ted ends his rant by telling Barney that he not only does not want to be Bros anymore, but also does not want to be his friend anymore.
* **April 27**
	+ Grace Gibbons is born.

	+ After spending three months being trained by Wilson, Oliver and Slade begins to infiltrate the airstrip.
* **May 12**
	+ Ted decides that it is time for his relationship with Stella to take the next step. Stella is strangely reluctant, however, and she tells Ted a secret: she has not had sex for five years.
* **May 16**
	+ Ted shares this with Marshall and Lily, as he does everything, and when Stella comes over on the night that she was meant to go out with Ted and they accidentally reveal that they know her secret, Stella is upset that Ted betrayed her trust and leaves.
	+ Meanwhile, Barney tries to find a "Rebound Bro" to whom he can be a wingman to help him bed women. He misses Ted and, unwilling to admit it, puts applications up on his blog. Receiving few responses except for an enthusiastic proposal from his colleague Randy, Barney resorts to calling up old friends and previous wingmen. After many unsuccessful attempts (one already has a wingman, one is married and has settled down, etc.) he decides to be the "Bro" to Randy and give him a chance. Unfortunately, he discovers that Randy hasn't had sex in thirteen years and Barney is repeatedly unsuccessful at getting him together with a woman, since Randy is uncomfortable with talking to women, and gets nosebleeds whenever he gets an erection. Barney is unsuccessful until he enlists Robin's help to make Randy comfortable with small-talk with women, telling Robin that he may have a sex tape with her to convince her to come and help Randy. Barney then discovers that Randy was a police officer, albeit one that was fired for incompetence; nevertheless, Barney knows being in the 'force' impresses women, and quickly finds a woman who takes Randy home with her. Barney seems happy until Robin comments that "Ted doesn't know what he's missing." Barney then tearfully remarks, "You had to mention Ted, didn't you?"
	+ Stella comes to Ted's house and admits that she left because she was afraid it was getting too serious and she was looking for a reason not to get too close to him. Ted and Stella's relationship goes even further than expected as Ted meets Stella's daughter Lucy and gets to know her. Later, Stella tells Ted that her sister (who was previously meant to take care of Stella's daughter while Stella and Ted had sex) is still in town and can take care of Stella's daughter. Stella and Ted rush to a motel, where they finally have sex. When Ted jokingly picks up the phone to tell Marshall and Lily about it after the deed is done, Stella pushes him off the bed in an equally lighthearted manner.
* **May 18**
	+ After infiltrating the airstrip, Wilson reveals plans to send in an airstrike to wipe out all of Fyers' operation. Oliver heads out to save Yao Fei, but is recaptured by Fyers.
	+ Before he can be executed, Wilson arrives, rescuing Oliver and killing Wintergreen. Although they miss the supply aircraft, Wilson and Oliver decide to continue to work together to get off the island, with Wilson stating that Fyers is hired by another party for a purpose.

	+ Fyers fires a missile at an approaching airlines, but Oliver and Shado manage to override the coordinates and destroy the missile. Afterwards, Oliver kills Fyers, revealing to have gained relative skill with bow.
* **June 25**
	+ Marshall and Lily learn that it will cost $1,500 to fix the slanted floor in their new apartment. Marshall suggests that they sell some of Lily's designer clothes to raise money on the web on a site called lilyandmarshallselltheirstuff.com. Lily counters that it should be named "guyforceshiswifetodressinagarbagebagforthenextthreeyears.com" (and, to their surprise, the site already exists). Lily instead suggests selling some of her paintings. After many failed attempts to sell one painting, it is finally bought on the street by a G-CWOK (Gay Couple Without Kids), an integral demographic in the art world. A thrilled Lily calls the G-CWOK later that night about hosting an art party to sell more of her paintings, but is devastated to learn that the couple only bought her painting because of its vintage and valuable frame; when Lily asks if she could at least have her painting back, she learns that the couple had thrown it away.
	+ Marshall and Ted confront Lawrence, one of the "G-CWOKs", which leads them to a nearby veterinarian's office. The veterinarian tells them that he took the painting out of the dumpster and hung it up in Examination Room 3, excited over finding a free painting. However, he was surprised and excited to find that Lily's painting had a soothing, almost hypnotic effect on the dogs being examined (birds, on the other hand, do not get the painting at all). The veterinarian offers to buy more than enough of Lily's paintings to pay for fixing the slanted floor. Marshall goes on to start up a website where Lily can sell more of her paintings to other vets.
	+ Meanwhile, Barney is still plagued by the mysterious woman who has been informing his conquests of his true intentions, leading to a slap from whoever he is attempting to seduce. However, he is on to the saboteur and follows her from the bar and to a taxi. Upon confronting her, he discovers that it is Abby, Stella's secretary, who is in love with Ted and was subject to one of Barney's one-night stands. Barney tells her that Ted dumped him as a friend and ignored Abby over Stella, and a Ted-bashing session ensues, followed by Barney and Abby sleeping together again.
	+ The two plan to destroy Ted by showing how terrible he is to others when he is in a relationship. Setting their plan in motion, Barney and Abby arrive at the bar wearing matching blue sweaters. They announce that they are dating - but Abby can't help but tell Ted she misses him. Ted tells Barney to stop because he is on to them, but Barney takes it to the next level and proposes to Abby. Abby doesn't realize it's part of the joke, says yes and runs off excitedly to call her mother.
	+ Barney goes to Abby's apartment looking for a tie he thinks he left there, and she immediately starts talking about planning their wedding. Barney needs an out and tells her he can't marry her because he promised Ted he wouldn't. Barney tells her Ted is still in love with her, gives her Ted's address and tells her to stop by at 2am since Ted works late.

#### July

* **July 2**
	+ Ted is coming home from brunch with Stella. He tells the gang that Stella invited Ted to her sister's wedding in 6 months. Ted reminds them of Barney's rule about planning ahead in relationships.
* **July 8**
	+ At dinner with Stella, Ted has a little breakdown, and says 'We need to talk' to Stella. Stella is angry, and walks away.

* **July 26**
	+ Ted is waiting for a cab and he bends down to tie his shoe and misses three cabs, but finally gets in one. As Ted is sitting in the cab when the cab is hit by a speeding car that drove through the intersection.
	+ Everyone is being informed of Ted's accident, including Lucifer and Kara in National City, and they all rush to the hospital to see that Ted is fine. He reveals that he wants Stella back, and that the accident let him re-examine his relationship with her. Marshall declares it's a miracle, to which Robin scoffs. Marshall is puzzled at why she doesn't believe in miracles, and he flashes back to when he, Ted, and Barney are all sitting at a bar, throwing pencils in the ceiling. One falls down and bounces off the table and into Barney's right nostril and he survives. Marshall says that that was a miracle, and Robin's explanation is "a drunk jackass with a box of pencils."
	+ Lily thinks she should call Barney to tell him about Ted, and Barney hangs up before she can tell him that Ted is fine. Barney leaves an important business meeting to get to Ted, and he misses a cab and has to run all the way to the hospital. Ted then says that when he was in the car crash, instead of his whole life flashing before his eyes, he just saw the things he loves, and that's why he wants Stella back. Marshall exclaims "Miracle!", and again Robin disagrees. Marshall flashes back to when he was returning to the United States from Amsterdam, and is carrying a backpack full of illegal drugs, and has to give it to the customs officer, when all the sudden the officer's shift ends, and the new customs officer lets him through. Marshall yells "Miracle!" again. Now it flashes to Barney, who is still running full speed to get to Ted. Stella comes to the hospital to see Ted, and she tells him their breakup is "forgotten" and she kisses him on the bed. Marshall says it's a miracle, and Robin is sarcastic about the miracle.
	+ Marshall tells them of a time a few months when he was talking to Lily while she is teaching her kindergarten class. Marshall goofs off with the kids, and wears their tiny *Pilgrim hats*. When he is asking for his job back at Nicholson, Hewitt, and West, his former boss Joe Hewitt is going to hire Marshall back, when Marshall realizes he got lice from the children. He keeps scratching his head, and is clearly uncomfortable in his boss' office. He screams out, "I HAVE LICE!" and is kicked out of the office. Marshall says the lice made it so he couldn't get his job back, and it was a miracle because two weeks later, his boss was arrested.
	+ Lily tells Stella that she is glad to see them together again, and Stella realizes it was a breakup even though she thought it was just a small fight. She is upset at Ted, and she tells Ted that they are really broken up now. Immediately after that, the hospital calls Ted and tells him Barney has been in an accident. Barney was crossing the street to the get to the hospital when he is hit by a bus *driving the wrong way* down a one way street. Barney lives, but all the bones are broken in his body, except "one bone downstairs." Ted gets very emotional about what Barney did for him, and they become friends again. Marshall says that there were "two miracles in one day," and Robin again says that it isn't a miracle.
	+ Robin then reveals her reason for not believing in miracles: when she was a kid, her dog Sir Scratchewan was just about to die, and when her parents took him to the veterinarian, the vet said that he had learned of a new operation earlier that day that would save her dog's life. Marshall says that this is a miracle, but Robin reveals the one major side effect of this operation: her dog "turned into" a turtle.
	+ The orderly tells Ted he can leave, and he rushes out to meet Stella, who is at Kiddy Fun Land with Lucy. Marshall and Lily ask Barney about what he saw before he was hit by the bus. They joke about him seeing a giant boob wearing a suit of money that is lactating scotch, but while they are saying this, he's looking at Robin. Marshall says "I guess that's pretty much all you love, right?" and Barney says "Yeah, pretty much."
* **July 27**
	+ The next day, Ted is talking to Stella at Kiddy Fun Land, and he gives her a small orange kangaroo stuffed animal. Ted tells her he's ready to give her what she needs, and that's why he spent ten minutes at the claw machine trying to get a fake diamond ring, but he could only get an orange kangaroo.
	+ Stella is confused why he would need a diamond ring, and Ted proposes to her. After a long pause, Stella accepts.

#### August

* **August 2**
	+ Barney goes through physical therapy.
	+ Marshall copes poorly with unemployment.
* **August 14**
	+ Weeks later, the gang are in the bar, while Robin expresses discontent with her non-profound newscasting job, describing herself as a bogeyman with a teleprompter. In response, Barney laughs too hard at this joke.
* **August 15**
	+ The next day, Barney gets Lily to come over to his apartment and confides that he is in love with Robin. She agrees to help him if he will stop having one-night stands with bimbos. He then tries to call Robin but panics and leaves a high-pitched gibberish voice mail instead, followed by another awkward, unsuccessful phone call.
* **August 17**
	+ Lily then sets Barney up on a dinner date with Robin, where he behaves quite unlike himself: not taking advantage of opportunities to make sex jokes, ignoring their waitress's generous cleavage, and being interested in the goings-on of Robin's day.
	+ Afterward, Robin gets April (their waitress) to go home with Barney by telling her that he is the second baseman for the New York Yankees.
	+ Barney then tells April that on any other night, he would try to convince her that he was a Yankee, but he can't because he is in love with the girl who just left.
* **August 18**
	+ At Barney's apartment, where he has been telling Lily about what happened. Lily is sympathetic until April comes out of Barney's bedroom. He admits that he lied about not hooking up with April but that all the other stuff he said is true. Lily is disappointed and leaves. Barney then checks his watch and turns on Metro 1 News, affectionately watches a brief segment of Robin's newscast, and then goes back into his bedroom with a smile on his face.
* **August 19**
	+ Marshall asks Ted for some wedding shower gift ideas for Stella. He asks if Stella likes to cook, what her favorite color is, or if she has any hobbies, for which Ted doesn't know the answer to any of those questions. It is determined that Ted doesn't know Stella's eye color, so he says they are the color of the ocean after a storm, though he doesn't actually know what color that is.
	+ Ted later makes dinner for Stella and uses peanuts as the "secret ingredient", which, unknown to him, Stella is deathly allergic to.
	+ After they go to the hospital, Ted and Stella ask each other their "firsts" (first kiss, etc.) and Ted finds out that Stella has never seen *Star Wars*, his favorite movie of all time. Marshall is shocked when he learns this, saying that "nobody" hasn't seen *Star Wars*. They end up watching it and Ted concludes that it is the best movie ever and that if Stella dislikes it, he cannot marry her.
* **August 20**
	+ The next night, Ted and Stella watch *Star Wars*, but Ted is really watching Stella to gauge her reactions. She mistakes this for foreplay and tries to kiss him, but he rebuffs her with "great scene, great scene."
	+ Eventually, Stella asks him to leave the room for the time being, so she can watch the movie alone. When it is over, she tells Ted and Marshall she loved it. After an ecstatic Ted leaves, Stella then confides to Marshall that she hated it.
	+ Marshall is very concerned by this because Ted really, really loves *Star Wars*. Stella is convinced that she can pretend to love *Star Wars* for the rest of her life with Ted.

#### September

* **September 2**
	+ Things started to change around his neighborhood when new businesses started popping up, like the bank Barney's company just bought, Goliath National Bank which he advises Marshall to get a job with. Lily rebukes this suggestion, saying even though Marshall had been to a lot of bad job interviews, he was still going to be an environmental lawyer.
	+ Later, the group go to the bar, and are advised by Wendy the Waitress to have the burger, a new special from the new cook. After an argument, they agree to try the burger, mainly because Robin hadn't eaten anything in two days due to a "seven day cleanse." Once the burgers arrive (Robin's is late), the group all say how good the burger is, except for Marshall, who says it's just 'okay', seeing as he's already had the best burger in New York eight years ago.
	+ When Marshall first moved to New York, he was scared at first, but quickly finds the city is nicer than he thought. On his walk, he accidentally finds a burger joint, and has the 'best burger in New York'. He also notices an autographed picture of Regis Philbin on the wall, saying how good the burger was. Afterwards, he rushes to tell Ted about the place, but quickly forgets where it was, being new to the city. Since then, Marshall has tried every burger joint he can in an attempt to find the place, even meeting with Regis, who says he can't find where the place is either, and is also desperate to find it. Regis gives Barney his number so he can call him if he finds the joint.
	+ When Robin says she knows the place, the group rush downtown to find it (before Robin can try her burger). On the way, Barney texts Regis telling him where to find the place, causing him to leave a TV show recording. They all order the burger (Robin's is late, again), and once more they agree it's an incredible burger. Unfortunately, Marshall says it's not the right burger. Marshall becomes desperate, and Lily says he's upset about not getting a new job. The group resolves to find the place for Marshall, and ask a waitress for help. She tells them this burger joint was modeled after another one, uptown.
	+ Again, the group rush to the new joint. On the way, Regis calls, and Barney tells him about the new place. Once they arrive, Marshall is sure it's the right location, but in its place is an ATM from Barney's bank. Lily attacks Barney, and Marshall admits the reason Barney's been talking up the bank is that Marshall got a job there. While they talk, a guy nearby promoting a strip club tells them the place isn't gone, but has just moved. After paying him, thanks to the ATM, he tells them where the place is.
	+ Finally, the group reach the joint, and Marshall says it's the right place, and the group enjoy their burgers, Regis then claims it's not the right place, and goes to leave only realize that it was the right place complimenting the burger's aftertaste.
* September 8
	+ Ted is complaining about having to travel so far to see Stella in New Jersey, as she is often asleep by the time he gets there. It also means he misses some key events with the group, like Barney trying to pick up a lesbian by dressing in feminine clothing, and Robin getting promoted.
* September 11
	+ When Ted tells Stella about this, she suggests the group comes to New Jersey for a night out.
* September 14
	+ At first, the group rejects this idea, making fun of New Jersey, and also reminding Ted of how much he hates the place himself. He talks them into accepting, and says that soon he won't have to go back again, as Stella and her daughter will move in with him after they are married.
	+ Robin is sick of her job, as she often reports stupid stories and has to make bad, and sometimes insensitive, puns.
* September 18
	+ After being offered a major anchor job, she immediately accepts, and makes her farewell broadcast, with a terrible speech (written by Ted).
* September 21
	+ On Saturday, Ted, Marshall, Lily and Barney head to New Jersey for a night out, but instead find that Stella's babysitter canceled, and they have to stay in. Ted reminds them that being together is what's important, but Marshall, Barney and Lily are desperate to get back home. Stella overhears their complaining, and takes them into the basement, saying it's 'the coolest bar in New Jersey', with some board games and half a ping-pong table. Barney, after making a bad joke, asks someone to give him a fist bump, but no one agrees. He declares that he will not lower his arm until someone gives him a fist pound, but is still ignored.
	+ Robin arrives, and explains her new job was not an actual job, but an audition, and says she has to go back to her old job. Lily and Barney manage to stop her, reminding her of how humiliating it was there, and Robin relents. Ted is shocked to find Stella expects him to move to New Jersey, and didn't want to move in with him, thinking he was joking, as Manhattan is not a safe place to raise her daughter. She asks Ted to go to the local store to get some beer, where he continues to worry about living in New Jersey, as he feels he'll never go back to the city. Marshall, however, seems to love the idea of living out in New Jersey. Barney, meanwhile, continues to make jokes, hoping for some 'respect', as he seems to be in some pain.
	+ Robin manages to sneak a call to her old studio, and asks for her job back. Since her replacement is terrified of going on air, her producer agrees, but only if she can make it to the studio in time for the broadcast in half an hour. She steals Stella's daughter's bike, and sets off.
	+ When Ted and Marshall get back, Ted confronts Stella about moving to New Jersey, and she responds that she doesn't want to uproot her daughter. She also states New Jersey is better than New York, a statement that upsets both Ted and Lily. They begin to argue over which is better, while Barney desperately asks someone to bump him.
	+ Robin, meanwhile, is seen performing incredible stunts in order to make it to the studio in time, even backflipping on her stolen bike over a cab that has crashed in the road.
	+ Lily suggests that Stella will grow to love New York, as Marshall did. Marshall, however, reveals he hates New York, as the city is designed for people who are smaller than him, and actually loves New Jersey, with its big stores, lawns and cupholders on everything. Ted refuses to relent, and Stella storms out.
	+ Ted goes to find her, but instead finds Stella's daughter Lucy, who was woken up by the argument. He reads her a bedtime story to get her back to sleep, and realizing how much Stella and Lucy mean to him, he then finds Stella, and agrees to move in with her, saying New Jersey wins.
	+ Robin arrives at the studio just in time, pushing her nervous replacement out of the way, and immediately going on air. However, after her first story again contains a bad pun, she decides she was right to quit, and leaves. Barney and Lily watch, and Lily says they helped her do that, giving him the fist bump he desired. Despite this, he quickly makes another bad joke, and asks for a high five, which he doesn't receive, and is still asking later at the bar.
* September 24
	+ Robin reveals she didn't get the job she auditioned for, but was offered another, and is going to move to Japan. Barney, shocked, lowers his hand, referring to the fact that Barney is in love with Robin.
* **September 30**
	+ Alex Danvers is personally recruited into the D.E.O. by "Hank Henshaw".

#### October

* **October 3**
	+ Barney, in old man makeup, tells a bimbo that "young Barney Stinson" cannot solve global warming unless she sleeps with him. He then comes back a moment later and hooks up with the bimbo. Soon after, the gang is packing their things for Lily and Marshall's move to the new apartment and Ted's move to New Jersey. Robin says that she does not understand all the gang's sentimentality about their stuff, saying she packed for Japan in just half an hour the other day. Ted and Marshall end up arguing about who should pay the security deposit for the apartment.
	+ Marshall says that Ted should pay it, citing a piece of missing plaster in the wall (it fell off when Ted put his shelf of World Book encyclopaedias on it) and a chip in the ceiling (made when Ted recklessly swung his Renaissance flail). He also counts a piece of damage which he blames on Robin: Robin was very drunk and acting extremely Canadian, speaking with a heavy accent and reenacting great Vancouver Canucks moments in full uniform with stick and puck. She tried to make a play through the door, but Lily stopped her and they got into a fight. Ted broke up the fight just as Barney was about to record it on his phone; he was extremely angry because the Bro Code states to never break up a girlfight. As a result, he punches a hole in the wall.
	+ They then get to a scorch mark over the fireplace; also discussing multiple interventions from the past; interventions for Marshall's Seussian hat, Lily's fake British accent that was a product of watching all the *James Bond* movies, Robin's tanning addiction, and Barney's excessive use of pyrotechnic magic tricks. The last caused the "Intervention banner" to become scorched as well as the fireplace. Soon afterward, there was an "intervention intervention", which consisted of Ted saying "We're having too many interventions."
	+ Ted finds in a box a new, unscorched "Intervention banner"; he asks the others why it is there. After a little hedging, they admit they were planning an intervention for his engagement to Stella. Ted demands that they hold it and asks them to read their letters: Lily mixed hers up with a student's, Robin did not write one because she thought, as his ex-girlfriend, she would be biased, and Barney accidentally sets his on fire before getting past the "marriage is the biggest mistake of your life" part. Marshall then reads his letter, which feared that Ted and Stella were rushing into things and did not know each other well enough. He says that he doesn't feel that way anymore and that Stella is awesome.
	+ After this, Ted ends up getting caught up in a bout of nostalgia and proclaims he'll never leave the apartment. Marshall and Lily at first oppose him but then quickly jump onto the bandwagon. Robin tries to stop them and then repudiates moving to Japan. They then enthusiastically go down to MacLaren's to order the usual.
* **October 8**
	+ At MacLaren's, Barney is trying to attract young women while in old man makeup to prove to Marshall that he will still be hooking up with 22-year-old bimbos when he is 80. Eventually, he gets the attentions of a 22-year old. While mocking Barney for her nationality ("She's French. That's like playing tennis with the net down"), the gang realizes that they are trying not to grow up. Ted says that he will pay the security deposit because each of those damages represents a precious memory, and they all decide to move to the places they will move to. They then kick a couple out of their usual booth and swear to each set aside ten dollars a week and, this time next year, have a $2500 bottle of scotch.
* **October 10**
	+ Two days later, Barney enters the apartment in his old man makeup to see the group with letters and the "Intervention banner" up. They tell him to stop doing the old man thing, at which Barney pretends he is hard of hearing.
* **October 16**
	+ Marshall, Lily and Barney are at the bar, when Ted and Stella arrive. Stella grabs Barney's drink out of his hand and finishes it. She then starts ranting about how her sister Nora is stealing her dream wedding on Shelter Island at sunset. She explains they were just at dinner with Stella's sister, whose wedding is identical to Stella's dream. Stella's sister also mentions that she's a vegan, after which Ted proceeds to order the lamb.
* **October 17**
	+ Back at the bar, Ted swears that they will out-do Stella's sister's wedding and Stella says she hopes the wedding goes downhill.
* **October 18**
	+ At a restaurant, where Stella's sister is eating steak and swearing against her former fiance, who ran off with a "vitamin consultant from Whole Foods." She had given up make up, showering, and shaving her armpits for him. The wedding was supposed to be that weekend and she can't get all her deposits back.
	+ Using couples telepathy, Ted believes they should pay for Nora's meal and thinks he's agreeing with Stella across the table. Stella believes they should take over the wedding and pay her sister back for every dollar she has spent. Ted isn't sure, but Stella says that she wasted years trying to get Lucy's dad ready, and that she used to dream that Tony (Lucy's dad) was spontaneous enough. Ted agrees and tries to be spontaneous, throwing water in his face.
* **October 21**
	+ Robin is in Japan "finally doing serious news" on the number one English news channel in Japan, where she sits next to a chimpanzee with a giant bowl of marshmallows which the monkey throws at Robin while she is talking about the stock market. Another newscast features a "Giant Fan" blowing Robin's notes and hair everywhere while she struggles to talk about the news. Ted calls Robin and asks her to come to his wedding. Although she's unsure at first, she agrees to come.
	+ Barney, Ted, Marshall, and Lily are at the bar, where Barney is being unusually supportive of Ted's marriage. Lily asks Barney why he hasn't tried to stop the wedding, and Barney explains it's a lost cause. He also says he's been working on a problem of utmost importance concerning Ted's marriage: he wants to have sex with Robin again, and the wedding is the best chance to hook up with her. Lily doesn't believe he'll be able to ignore the other women at the wedding.
* **October 24**
	+ The day before the wedding the group, including Lucifer and Kara, make a trip to Shelter Island, only to find the venue is a Yoga resort, where the bar has a no alcohol policy, and the all inclusive meals are 100% vegan. Lucifer and Kara, knowing that the yoga resort on Shelter Island was all vegan and with no alcohol, brought all the alcohol and meat needed for Ted's wedding.
	+ With no alcohol, Barney doesn't know how he's going to get Robin back into bed, as his plan depends on her being drunk. Barney, Lily, and Marshall are also frightened by the Spin Doctor-looking bartender.
	+ Soon, Ted tells them there's a problem: Stella doesn't want Robin at the wedding, as she thinks it's weird and brings up unresolved issues, saying the spark may come back between Robin and Ted. Ted swears they are just friends and already had their time.
	+ As a compromise, Ted suggest inviting Tony, but Stella completely disagrees. Marshall says he agrees with Stella, and thinks Robin shouldn't come, while Barney disagrees for his own sake. Lily breaks the tie by saying the bride's wish is final so Barney offers to call Robin. After talking to her and confirming she's coming, he lies to the others, saying he couldn't reach her.
	+ Lily scoffs at Stella's wedding jitters and Marshall puts her in her place with a few flashbacks on Past Lily freaking out about her own freakouts at her wedding. Lily tells Ted to wait for the next crisis, solve it, be the hero, then try to convince Stella to let Robin attend.
	+ Four minutes later, Tony refuses to bring Stella's daughter to the wedding. Ted decides to go convince Tony to allow Lucy to come to the wedding.
	+ Barney, meanwhile, meets Stella's sister, who wants to do dirty, depraved things to forget that this was supposed to be her wedding.
	+ When Ted arrives at Tony's house, Tony is a little wound up, but eventually agrees to let Lucy come, but only after Ted asks him to come as well, despite Stella saying this is the one thing she didn't want to happen. They get back to the wedding, where Stella is upset to see Tony, before Robin arrives to make things worse. Ted argues with Stella, and they agree to tell their ex they cannot attend the wedding. At first, Stella wants to talk to Robin and Ted to talk to Tony, but in reality Ted goes to talk to Robin.
	+ Robin agrees with Ted that it is weird for her to be at the wedding. She tells him that she quit her job in Tokyo, and is moving home, and that he shouldn't rush into getting married because he deserves an amazing ending to his quest for a wife. She also adds that she thought, if she ever changed her mind about wanting to get married and have kids, she wanted him to be there, and that there may still be something between them.
	+ Ted disagrees and storms off. Robin tries to hang out with Barney, but he has a woman tied to his bedpost, so Robin leaves. Stella's sister arrives, and it is revealed the woman tied to the bed is actually from the front desk, and Barney ends up having a threesome with the two women.
	+ Suddenly as Stella runs off with Tony, Lucifer feels a disturbance of something unfamiliar (the fact that Stella ran off with Tony).
	+ Ted goes to talk to Stella, but instead finds a card saying she has run away with Tony. Marshall, Lily, Lucifer, Kara and Barney try to console Ted, while Robin sees Stella and Tony together on the ferry from Shelter Island. Ted understands that Stella wasn't worried about Robin coming to the wedding, but was thinking about her unresolved feelings for Tony.
* **October 25**
	+ The day after Stella ran out on their wedding, Ted is unusually happy. The rest of his friends (other than Barney, who is happy Ted isn't married) are worried about him, thinking that he is repressing his emotions.
	+ Over the course of two weeks, the group tries to be there for Ted, but he insists he is fine until November 29th.
* **October 28**
	+ Lucifer's angel wings grows back.

This forces Rocco to go into hiding and leave Liberty City; he later ran to LS.
	+ The Russians show up ensuing in a huge gunfight within the club against Luis Lopez. Tony blames Luis for contemplating to kill him and flees to his apartment to pack and move to the desert. Luis convinces Tony that he chose not to kill him because it is them against the world, and that they need to resolve their situation.
	+ Luis ventures to Firefly Island to ambush a Russian heroin exchange, telling Tony to hide out by the Monoglobe in Meadows Park. Luis destroys the heroin and kills Timur Ovchinnikov, who mentions that Bulgarin is fleeing the city by plan within two hours. After an opportune phone conversation, Yusuf shows up in the Buzzard and eliminates the pursuing Russians while Luis drives to the airport.

When he actually goes to talk to her, he sees her and Tony with their daughter, and decides that they were meant to be a family, his anger quickly subsiding.

After hearing from Lily that the blind date had been going badly, Ted goes back and confronts Mitch again, who tells Ted about his "move", *The Naked Man*, where one takes advantage of a distraction in order to get naked in front of their date in hopes of sex, by means of confidence or by pity.

	+ Robin, still trying to defend herself, brings Mitch with her to the bar. Marshall takes back what he said, to Robin's relief, and she lets Mitch leave.
