It’s a dirty story, isn’t it? You guys went out to dinner, did it in the kitchen and got caught. Scherbatsky reeks of someone who likes to get caught.
Okay, now I have to wash up for two reasons.
With the wedding approaching, Lily and Marshall try to spend time apart, Ted struggles with his toast, and Barney goes on the Price is Right.
Lily and Marshall’s wedding is only weeks away and they are becoming increasingly co-dependent. Exhibit A: Marshall ate ice cream earlier and now Lily’s stomach hurts. Exhibit B: They were cooking in the kitchen together, Lily needed eggs, so Marshall walked over to the fridge with her. It’s horrifying. They don’t see anything wrong with it. They tell everyone they decided to not to spend the last two weeks before the wedding sleeping apart, because of “wedding logistics.” But they insist they could if they wanted to, so Robin invites Lily to stay with her. And so they give in.
Ted and Robin come home covered in tomato sauce, but say they’ll tell everyone later.
When Lily’s looking at their registry, they find out Barney knows the retail price of everything. He tells them he’s been training because he’s going on the Price is Right.
Lily's spending the night at Robin’s and puts on her dress, then finds out it comes right off if she raises her arms, because she’s too skinny.
Ted tries out his best man toast on Marshall, but Marshall is horrified when Ted’s going to tell an embarrassing story about Marshall getting pulled over while Lily was doing something dirty to him.
Lily finds out it will be $300 to get her dress taken in, but Robin tells her it’s a license to eat, so they go to put some weight on Lily.
Ted revises his speech, but instead it’s a story about how as Freshmen in college they were drunk and Ted had gone to get food, and when he came back with Funyuns Marshall told him, “I love you” and Lily thought he was talking to her and told him it back. Marshall is still horrified, especially because Lily’s never heard that story.
Barney is stressing out over getting on The Price is Right, because the big wheel is not something he can memorize. When they press him they find out that when he was a kid his mom told him Bob Barker was his father. SO now he’s going to LA, win the showcase showdown, and tell Bob Barker he’s his son. The group does not think this is a good idea.
Lily has to gain 5 pounds in a 10 days (lucky her) but the next day finds out she lost a pound.
Ted revises his speech again, this time telling the story of how Marshall and Lily got back together and afterward they all went to the bar where they did shots of milk and stayed up until 10 PM! Then they all credit Marshall’s parents for teaching him good values. Then Marshall holds Lily’s hand. It’s totally boring.
Flash ahead to two weeks later, when Ted is giving his toast, talking about how both he and Lily achieved their goals, and how the the perfect Lily and Marshall moment was two nights earlier when he found Marshall sneaking back in and found out that Marshall had been sneaking out all week long to a hotel where he was meeting Lily. And there, because she was less stressed out, they were eating and she was gaining weight. Ten years into their relationship, they couldn’t spend a night apart.
Future Ted starts to tell the story of the wedding, but stops to finish Barney’s story. Barney gets called up and is totally in awe of Bob, and bids perfectly on everything. And in the middle of things is showing Bob pictures of him as a kid. He keeps giving everything he won to Lily and Marshall for his wedding. When he comes to the big wheel, Bob calls him “son” (Like he does for a lot of guys) and Barney manages to spin a dollar. In the Showcase Showdown, and Barney bids exactly and wins both showcases. During Bob’s normal speech about spaying or neutering pets, Barney flakes out and doesn’t tell him. Because he doesn’t think Bob could have handled the truth, because he spent so long thinking one thing and to find out the truth would be devastating.
The Mother- Yay for Bob Barker’s cameo! I love that Barney just naturally believes anything his mother told him, and I love how awkward Barney’s stint on the show is! I also love that Marshall and Lily can’t stand to spend a night apart. It would be annoying, but it’s really sweet at the same time.
