Season 3, Episode 8: Spoiler Alert

Lasagna!  Just get the lasagna!

Ted is dating a new girl and is introducing Cathy to the group, but during dinner the group seems incredibly hostile.  Later that evening, Ted asks them what’s wrong, but when Lily realizes Ted doesn’t see what they see she says they should just keep him in the dark because otherwise she’ll be ruined.

Marshall took the bar over the summer and was about to find out whether he passed.  Unfortunately, he cannot remember his password.  Barney finally offers to introduce him to a guy at work who can get him in through the firewall.

Ted can’t stand not knowing and keeps imagining horrible things she could have said to them when he left the table.  Ted pushes and they finally tell him, Cathy talks a ton.  HIs perception of her shatters and all of the sudden Ted sees just how much she talks.  She just keeps talking.  Then Ted can’t see anything but how much she talks.  He’s mad at everyone for telling him.

Ted points out to Marshall that Lily chews loudly and Marshall’s perception of Lily shatters, and then all he can hear is her chewing.  Marshall points it out to Lily and she goes to vent to Robin.  Robin’s perception shatters and Lily points out to Robin that Ted corrects everyone.  Shatter!

Barney shows up with the disk, and Barney shows Marshall a video he wanted him to see of a dog pooping on a baby.

Robin points out to Ted that he always correcting people (shatter for Marshall and Barney), and he shoots back that she always uses the word literally (shatter for Marshall, Barney, and Lily) and Robin points out that Marshall sings whatever he’s doing (shatter for Barney and Lily).  They all point out that Barney sometimes talks in a weird high voice, uses catchphrases, and sometimes he spaces out and isn’t paying attention (shatters).  They're all fighting and they end up singing a phrase that Marshall was singing for like 3 hours, and it turns out it was his password.  Marshall’s a lawyer!

Future Ted explains that three years later he runs into Cathy again and turns out she’s engaged to a deaf guy.  So perfect for her!

The Mother- This is one of my all-time favorite episodes.  I love the shattering illusions and the fact that they use the sound of glass breaking through the episode!
