“One of my worst fears has come true, I just saw Marshall grabbing himself naked.”
Ted deals with his old boss while Barney has a proposition for Lily.
Ted & Robin- Future Ted explains that all he’s ever wanted to do in his life is design a skyscraper and now he’s doing just that. Except that Hammond Druthers, his old boss, (See Aldrin Justice) is on his team, and he’s a complete douche. Ted used to be just one of the guys, but now he’s the boss, so he decides to fire Druthers the next day. Ted’s going to go through with it, but then he finds out it’s Druther’s birthday. Ted goes back to work that night and finds Druthers at the office, where he’s been sleeping because his wife kicked him out. So instead of firing him, Ted brings him home. The next morning, Ted and Druthers are getting along great, until they get to work and Druthers goes back to his douche ways. Ted is really going to fire him, when Druthers gets served with divorce papers, and finds out his dog is dead. And then they’re celebrating his birthday a second time, because people missed it the day before. And just as Ted fires him, Druthers has a heart attack.
Everyone hates Ted, until he starts “Margarita Fridays.”
Barney, Lily, & Marshall- Barney finds a painting of Marshall, naked, behind the piano and they proceed to torture Marshall with it. The story is that back in college, Lily wanted to do a nude study for her art class, but Marshall didn’t want her to see any other guy naked, so she said he’d have to do it. When Marshall goes to destroy the painting he finds out Barney hung it up in the bar. Marshall steals the painting back and presumably destroys it. Barney compliments Lily on how well it was painted and asks her to pain him. She talks to Marshall and agrees to do it after Barney offers to pay her $5,000, which they’ll use to have a real honeymoon. Lily starts painting Barney (with his boxers on) and just as Barney is about to completely strip down, Marshall comes in resolutely saying no. But then he quietly tells Lily (in between the yelling) that they should get more money for their trip. And of course, Barney offers them more.
Lily finishes and leaves the room. She asks Marshall if he has the money and then pulls him out the door. And then a horrified Barney comes out with his painting, in which Lily gave him the “Ken doll.”
The Mother- Hmmmm, no idea how this episode pertains to The Mother, but I do like it. As usual, I hate the Ted part and love the Barney part.
