Spoilers Ahead
The Basics:
The boys teach someone a lesson, while Robin starts to panic about her wedding
The Analysis:
While there still wasn't much in the way of story progression, tonight was one of this season's better episodes. After last week's reveal that Robin's mom was at her wedding, we get some time for her to spend with her mom. I didn't enjoy this part of the story too much as it really seemed like they were throwing problems that didn't really need to be there. Just cause Barney had some experiences in his life that were similar to Robin's dad's, doesn't mean he isn't right for her. It was a bit unnecessary, but Barney's brief second meeting Robin's mom was sweet. As for Ted, Marshall, and Barney they realized Lily went to the Captain's house when she disappeared that night. Ted's detective bit was very funny, especially Barney and Marshall's reaction to Ted's reveals. At the end of the day Marshall found out Lily was pregnant and they are moving to Italy. We also found out they named the baby girl Daisy.
The Takeaways:
I loved Marshall's story and Ted's detective story. It also adds more weight to Marshall's line about him and the kids being a consolation prize from a few weeks ago. Still they need finish up some stories and need to just move forward with this. They are at kind of a stand still story wise. Just three episodes left. I hope they bring the big guns the next three episodes.
