Season 1, Episode 13: Drumroll, Please

“My stomach was like, ‘Hey, bro, I don’t know what you’re eating ‘cause I don’t have any eyes, but it’s basically awesome.  So keep sending it down gullet alley.”

Ted tells the story of his amazing night at the wedding with a girl who he’s never supposed to see again.

Ted begins by reflecting that the wedding was supposed to be the night he and Robin get back together, but when Robin had to work, Ted ended up having the most amazing night ever.  The morning after the wedding Ted tells Lily and Marshall the story of how he met a cute girl.

When he goes to flirt with her, they discuss how meeting at weddings never works out and she suggests that they just have a great time that night and never see each other again.  “Tonight , we will make a memory that will never be tarnished.  And then, when we’re old and gray, we’ll look back on this night, and it’ll be perfect.”  So they name themselves Buttercup and Lando Calrissian.  And then Barney comes up and calls him Ted, and she introduces herself as Victoria (and they agree no last names). 

At which point Lily and Marshall interrupt and ask what’s wrong with him.

Continuing the story, Ted grabs some champagne and glasses, Victoria steals the bouquet to “do all the single ladies in this joint a big favor” and they run out.

“So that’s what happened to the bouquet!  That’s such an evil tradition.”

In a different room in the hotel, Ted goes to kiss Victoria but she says no, saying it will ruin the moment.  So instead, they have all the drum,roll to the kiss and don’t kiss.

And Lily and Marshall interrupt again to call Ted a doof.  At which point Ted realizes he has to find her.  So he calls the bride to find Victoria.  The bride first yells at him over the whole Robin debacle and then says there was no Victoria at the wedding.  They figure out she was at the bridesmaid’s table and call Barney to get in touch with the bridesmaid he hooked up with.  Barney finally calls the bridesmaid and finds out she doesn’t know.  Ted decides it was fate that he was never supposed to see Victoria again.

Robin comes over to see Lily and Lily tells her the whole story.  And Robin says she knows who Victoria is.  And Robin tells Lily she showed up when she was done at work and saw him almost kiss Victoria.  While she was in the bathroom trying not to cry, Victoria came in and tried to make her feel better.

And Lily realized Robin has feelings for Ted.  “What is wrong with the two of you?  Seriously!”  Robin says she can’t tell Ted because she still doesn’t want to get married and he’s Ted, so she should just tell him who Victoria is.  And off she goes to find Ted and tell him…something.

Robin and Lily meet-up with the guys at McClaren’s and before Robin can talk to him, the bride calls and she tells him, in answer to Marshall’s questions, that they got the cake at a bakery downtown, the Buttercup Bakery.

During a flash to Robin’s story, in response to her question of who she’s a friend of, that Victoria made the cake.

Marshall decides that Ted has to marry this girl (apparently the cake’s that good) but Lily, knowing what she knows about Robin says it’s a bad idea, and Robin tells him to go get her.  So they head to the bakery.  Finally, Ted goes in and they finally share a first kiss.

The Mother- Okay, I didn’t see Victoria as being The Mother.  And I don’t think this relationship is going to end well.  All the talk about messing up relationships?  They are really going to screw this up.
