“You don’t want to see what I’m like when I’m angry!”
Marshall finally comes to terms with being single, while Lily finally comes back to New York.
Marshall is declared finally over Lily when he checks Robin out one evening. Barney announces that Ted’s out and Marshall is in as his new wing man. Meanwhile Robin goes home to find Lily outside her apartment.
Barney keeps helping Marshall talk to girls and then Barney takes them home. Lily on the other hand is apartment hunting with Robin, telling her how great San Francisco was and how great her life has been. Ted bets Robin that lily still wants Marshall and they decide to et her drunk to get the truth.
Barney takes Marshall to a bar near NYU and Marshall gets the number of a cute girl, but on the cab ride home Barney takes it. After they fight over the card, Barney throws it out the window and when Marshall gets out to chase it down, Barney drives away and reveals he still has the card.
Ted and Robin are having drinks and dinner with Lily, and she is excitedly telling them stories when her phone rings. She finds out she didn’t get a great apartment she applied for and breaks down. When Ted and Robin question her, she admits the apartment is a metaphor for Marshall. The next morning she admits she was dying to ask them about Marshall and her summer was awful. She asks if they think Marshall would take her back and Ted tells her absolutely. But he warns her that unless she’s certain she wants Marshall.
Barney apologizes for taking Marshall’s girl and offers to set him up with her identical twin on a double-date. The date’s going well when Barney informs Marshall that he’s going to take both girls home. Marshall leaves and we see Barney lie to the girls that Marshall got food poisoning. When Marshall heads up to the apartment he finds Lily outside. She acts casual and then admits San Francisco was horrible. She asks to get back together and he tells her that everything she said three months previously about them finding out who they each are, was right, so they can’t get back together. They sit, catching up and when she asks if there’s anything she can do, he takes her up on the offer. The newly brunette Lily goes down to the bar and tells a surprised Barney he gave her Chlamydia and throws a drink in his face. Then she comes back in wearing a hat and says that he gave her twin sister Chlamydia and throws a second drink in his face. This prompts the twins to leave. “Well played Eriksen.”
The Mother- I love that this episode is not about Ted at all. It’s about Marshall and Lily with Ted, Robin, and Barney pushing the story along.
