Season 1, Episode 16: Cupcake

“Everything here is dark and sketchy and seems illegal.  It’s like shopping in Barney’s mind.”

Ted contemplates his future with Victoria, while Marshall suits-up with Barney and Lily starts looking at dresses while helping Robin with her Victoria issues.

Ted- Ted is in the glory days with Victoria.  Everything is sunshine and rainbows and Ted making stupid jokes she laughs at.  Victoria is offered a chance at a fellowship at a culinary institute in Germany for two years.  Neither one believes long-distance can work, so she either stays or they break-up.  They agree to go think about it and while talking to the guys, Ted realizes he might not know Victoria as well as he thought.  Ted decides to tell her to go, and meets her for dinner.  While dress shopping Victoria decided to stay, and made Ted a cupcake to give him at dinner.  Cupcake in hand, Ted blurts out that he wants her to stay and Victoria blurts that she has to go.  So they decide to break-up.  But Marshall advises him to spend one last amazing day together and they do.  (In bed.)  Ted takes her to the airport and they say good-bye.  Just before she goes through security, Ted tells her they should try long-distance and Victoria agrees.

Lily & Robin- The girls are going wedding dress shopping, and Victoria offers to come with since she may be able to get Lily a discount seeing as she’s in the wedding business.  Robin is not dealing with Victoria particularly well and while Lily tries on dresses she tries to talk Victoria into going.  Lily convinces Robin to just let them be happy, and Robin tells Victoria to stay.  The dresses are hideous sot they put Lily in a dress she can’t afford and she manages to sit in a cake.

Marshall & Barney- Marshall has a job interview at his dream law firm (environmental, saving the earth stuff, yada yada yada, can you tell I drive the 1.5 miles to my work?) and Barney takes him to his tailor to get a new suit.  The place is sketchy (backroom of a pet shop) but the suit is great.  Barney tells him it’s suit for winners and offers to get him an interview in his offer.  When Barney gives him the bill for his amazing suit, it’s $4,000.  After finding out about the wedding dress, Marshall agrees to go for the interview.

The Mother- So Victoria is not The Mother.  As is evidenced by Future Ted saying long-distance didn’t work.  I knew it!
