“Ew, Ted!”
Marshall and Lily are starting to outgrow living with Ted. So, they start looking to rent a new apartment. But, Marshall decides they should rent. Little does he know that Lily has massive amounts of debt (See I'm Not That Guy). Lily tries to talk Marshall out of it, but he’s made up his mind so they go to look at the place. They get there and rather than admitting that the place is way out of their price range Marshall wants to get it. They invite everybody over to see it. Marshall’s super excited, but Robin pulls Lily aside and tells Lily she needs to tell Marshall about the debt. Lily ends up not telling Marshall and they decide to go for the apartment.
Lily tries to get the loan only under Marshall’s name, but they have to have Lily's info too. Their loan has a huge interest rate, and the banker tells them it’s because of Lily’s credit card debt.
When everybody else gets in the apartment they find evidence of Lily and Marshall’s blow-out fight. And Robin tells the boys about Lily’s debt and they don’t believe her. But when they hit redial on the phone it calls a divorce attorney. They’re horrified and Robin says that Lily’s going to get her and Marshall’s going to get Ted and Barney. Barney is especially distraught. Lily and Marshall come back and tell everyone what happened. Lily called the divorce attorney so they can separate on paper so Marshall can get the loan alone. But Marshall refuses, and he says he married her and her problems. They also announce that they got the apartment.
Marshall and Lily are horrified to find that their apartment is “Downwind of the sewage treatment plant” or “DOWISETREPLA”
Barney gets the lock box code for the apartment and brings a girl over. She wants a commitment, and he’s telling her everything she wants to hear. After he sleeps with her, he just leaves her in the apartment.
The Mother- Not my favorite episode, but I do love the CSI-esque figuring out the fight scene.
