Season 3, Episode 12: No Tomorrow

Look, it’s the Riddler.

That’s not the Riddler, it’s Gumby.  Hey Gumby, can we tie you in a knot later?

Hey NBA player sidelined by a knee injury!

It’s St. Patrick’s day!  The group has decided they’re going to have “board game night” at Lily and Marshall’s new apartment, except Barney still wants them to come out with him.

Barney calls Ted from a cab with a hot date for him, and tells him the world is going to end that night.  So Ted decides he’s going to go out with Barney.

Future Ted explains that he went to a big St. Patty’s day party, and The Mother was there.

Ted shows up and they’re trying to decide who’s getting which girl.  Ted says they’re not going to get into the club anyway because the line’s too long.  Barney goes up and asks the bouncer how much it’ll cost to get them in and the bouncer says that if it was just the two of them he’d let them in, but there’s too many girls in there already.  So Barney pulls Ted aside and says that there must be some kind of planetary thing going on because there’s never been a "shortage of dudes.”  So Ted asks if the girls in the club are hotter than the girls they came with and they ditch those girls and head in.

Ted is basking in the fact that he keeps getting rewarded by everything he’s doing and puts two bottles of champagne on somebody else’s tab.  And meets a hot girl, Ashlee.  Barney says that they have a free pass tonight, because “there is no tomorrow.”

Ted ends up making out with Ashlee after finding out she’s married.

Ted’s questioning their theory because the girl’s married but Barney tells him it’s not cheating if 1) you’re not the one who’s married; 2) her name has two adjacent vowels; and 3) she’s from a different area code.

Ted ends up running into the guy who’s been buying them champagne all night.  Ted gets punched out and tells Marshall the next morning that the cops arrested the other guy and Ted got to drink for free the rest of the night.

Marshall’s disgusted with him and plays all the pocket messages that Ted left for him.  Ted’s an idiot and a jerk on the messages. 

Future Ted explains that later he found out The Mother was at the party the night before he just didn’t meet her.  He goes back to the club to try and find his lost phone and when he finds out it’s pouring down rain, leaves with a familiar yellow umbrella.

Marshall, Lily, and Robin go to Lily and Marshall’s new apartment and while Lily’s exploring the apartment Robin and Marshall notice that the new apartment is crooked.  The floor is definitely on a tilt.  Lily hasn’t notice and Robin and Marshall agree to keep it quiet just for that night.

When Lily starts figuring out that something’s up in the apartment Marshall tells her that he and Robin saw a ghost.  And they convince Lily that it’s true.

Lily’s freaked out by the ghost, and finally Robin points out that the apartment is crooked.

Marshall and Lily are questioning if they can live in the apartment, when Robin shows them a fun new game on the skateboard they found in the apartment.  Future Ted explains that how the game “Apartment Roller Luge” was invented.

Marshall and Lily are going to be at Ted’s for awhile longer while their floor is fixed.

The Mother- So it’s a little bit of Mother back-story this episode.  For one thing we know the yellow umbrella plays into them meeting, and Ted got the umbrella that night.  I do have a theory though.  At about 13:45 in the episode Ted bumps into this girl and apologizes to her.  It seems just a little too long of a moment.  And we know she was there…
