“You say things!”
Robin’s sister comes into town and Robin finds out she’s planning her first time with her boyfriend while she’s there.
Everyone- Robin is going through the stages building up to telling Ted she loves him. But when it comes down to it, she chokes and can’t say it. When talking to Lily the next day she tells Lily she’s never told a guy she loves him before. She’s always gotten out of the relationship before that .
Robin’s sister, Katie, comes into town with her boyfriend in tow and Robin finds out she’s planning on losing her virginity to “a douche with a faux-hawk.” So she recruits everyone to help her talk Katie out of it.
The next day they all go to the Empire State Building. Katie sees right though their “subtle” attempts to talk her into waiting. Talk turns to how old everybody was their first times.
Robin: 16
Ted: 17
Marshall & Lily: 18
Barney: ? (Six…four…how old were you?)
When they question Barney he tells them it was while he was teaching dance at a camp one summer in the Catskills. Cue the marvelous Dirty Dancing clip (seriously, you have to watch it). They call him on it and then Marshall and Lily tell about their first time together. They were planning on waiting and making it special, but whoops. In true HIMYM fashion, Ted was on the top bunk the whole time. Robin tells her, that just as she and her boyfriend were getting started, he confirmed that he was gay. Lily says, rather emphatically, tat it doesn’t count and it’s revealed that she might’ve had sex with her high school boyfriend Scooter.
Katie comes back and says she’s leaving to go see her boyfriend and the resulting argument has Katie asking Robin if she loves Ted. Ted pulls Robin aside and tells her she doesn’t have to say it. Robin tells Katie that she knows she’s not a good example, but she doesn’t want Katie to make the same mistakes she did. Future Ted says that Katie did have sex, got pregnant…with quintuplets and ended up dying a drunk. And his kids ask what really happened.
Robin comes home and says Katie didn’t go through with it and credits Ted. Evidently, Ted told her about his first time when he told a girl he loved her, slept with her and then never saw her again, because that’s what 17-year-old boys do. So Katie told her boyfriend she wanted to wait and he dumped her. And Ted reveals to Robin that his first time was kinda the exact opposite of what he told Katie. And Robin tells him she loves him.
They finally all go to the top of the Empire State Building. Later at the bar they try to get Barney to tell them about his first time and he lists off a series of movie plots:
Fast Times at Ridgemont High
Risky Business,
War Games (which didn’t have a sex scene)
and finally he tells them he was 23 and it was his mom’s 45-year-old friend Rhonda.
The Mother- I have to say, one of my favorites. I think it’s mainly because of Barney trying to pass off movies as his first time. My apologies for being so slow lately. Between working late and trying to get ready for the trip I have coming up this weekend, I just haven’t had a lot of time!
