“Oh my God, is that a drifter with a hook for a hand? No, drifter, no!”
Ted gets a date with his perfect girl while Lily questions if she really wants to get married.
Ted & Lily- In honor of Ted’s birthday, Barney uses the “greatest pick-up line ever” which involves calling the “paramedics” for the girl and then saying something cheesy about her falling out of heaven and then everyone chanting, “give him your number” until the girl gives in. Meanwhile, Ted tells everybody else that he’s too picky about girls, so he’s just going to sit back and let fate take care of it.
The next day Ted hears from Love Solutions that they have found him a match. Ted sets up a date, but while waiting he gets a call from Lily. She’s very far away (New Haven?) and has a flat. So Ted goes out, and when he finds Lily he makes her tell him what she’s doing out there. So she tells him she started stressing over the wedding and got insomnia, and stumbled on an art fellowship in San Francisco, and the interview was that night. Ted accuses her of not wanting to get married and she denies it. Ted points out that she could have found a program closer to New York and she didn’t tell Marshall. She tells him the flat was a sign that she’s supposed to marry Marshall. Lily still wants to go to the interview after arguing about it, Lily leaves Ted on the side of the road. He calls Barney, but he won’t come pick him up, and when Marshall offers to Ted lies to protect Lily and says it was a prank. Ted calls Robin who brings the news van to pick him up. She’s wearing an odd hat and when he commits on it, she admits she got bad highlights. She tries to distract him by asking about his date, but he won’t let it go. Robin drops him off for his date and to cheer him up, shows him her horrendous hair. Ted realizes he still wants Robin, so he blows off his date. When he goes upstairs Lily and Marshall are there and Lily tells him, covertly, that she went to the interview, but she’s not going to take it.
Marshall & Barney- Poor Marshall hates working at Barney’s firm, but he needs the money. This day, Barney tries to recruit him in on his feud with a guy across the street, but Marshall refuses, so Barney shuns him. Barney manages to rope Marshall in and Marshall starts helping. They get a box and 100 white mice and are going to send it to the guy. But it backfires on them when the mice chew through the box.
The Mother- Ted pisses me off in this episode. What a jerk thing to do! He doesn’t even want to meet this girl? What’s to say he wouldn’t have fallen for this girl harder than he fell for Robin. Or maybe that spark wouldn’t have been there and he couldn’t gone after Robin anyway. Would it have hurt to find out? Yeesh.
