“Wow! Nine years? Your relationship’s a fourth grader.”
Ted and Victoria experience firsts, while Lily and Marshall question if they’ll have more firsts, and Barney and Robin bro-around for an evening.
Ted- Ted, newly in love with Victoria, spends the first 48 hours he knows her, with her. Only while being grilled by Lily and Marshall on Monday morning he admits they haven’t had sex, which was her idea.
3 Weeks Later
Ted and Victoria are waiting a while month to have sex, which no one understands, and it’s killing him.
On their way to dinner, Victoria realizes she will be out of town in a week (on their 1-month anniversary and sex night) so she suggests they have sex that night instead. Trapping Lily and Marshall in the bathroom. Ted and Victoria drag the experience out, until finally they’re moving on, but Ted’s cell rings. They end up just doing it on the living room floor.
Lily & Marshall- Celebrating their 9-year anniversary, Lily and Marshall are heading to a maple syrup festival in the Berkshires. As they go to leave they realize all they really want to do is stay home, so they bail on their weekend. Trapped in the bathroom because of Ted and Victoria, they eavesdrop, laughing over the corniness. But watching them cases Lily to realize that she and Marshall aren’t romantic anymore. And then lily has to pee. They’ve gone 9 years never doing that, and now they’re afraid it’ll totally change their relationship. Finally, Lily can’t wait, and when it’s over they realize they feel the same, but different. Lily accidentally flushes the toilet, so they come out into the living room and find that Ted and Victoria are gone. And they realize they’ll still have firsts, and they resume their mocking of Ted and Victoria.
Robin & Barney- Because everyone else has plans Barney asks Robin to be his bro for the evening. Robin shows up at barney’s cigar bar, suited-up. The two then take on the 12-year-olds at laser tag, making an awesome team. After getting beaten, they head back to McClaren’s where Robin uses a little girl rivalry to get a woman to go for Barney. But Barney turns her down and the two go to play Battleship. They go back to Robin’s and when she takes the dogs in the other room, Barney strips down to his skivvies. But when Robin comes back she yells at him because she thought they were hanging out as friends. Barney explains that he thought they’d work well together (for a few different reasons) and he even check with Ted (thus the phone call Ted received) but when she finds out Ted didn’t care, Barney realizes she likes Ted.
The Mother- I love that Ted’s story line is not the main story and instead is the set-up for the other two storylines. And the other two stories are hysterical. I think this episode is the first time Barney and Robin really spend time together alone, and honestly, they’re really great together. Lily and Marshall are like, my idols in relationships.
