How I Met Your Mother S01E09 – Belly Full of Turkey
Lily and Marshall head to Minnesota to spend the holiday with his
family. Robin and Ted want to volunteer at a soup kitchen and are
surprised to learn that Barney works there year-round.
It's Thanksgiving time, and Marshall and Lily are going to visit
Marshall's family in St. Cloud Minnesota. While Marshall is enjoying a
game of BaskIceBall (a combination of basketball and ice hockey put
together that the Eriksen brothers play, although Marshall later tells
Lily that he doesn't want their kids playing it because it is too
dangerous), Lily is in the kitchen. While helping in the kitchen, she
hears how big the babies Marshall's siblings have had are, and begins to
get scared thinking that she will have a huge baby (at 6'4", Marshall
is the shortest of his brother). Finally, at Thanksgiving dinner, Lily
feels completely scared when she sees Marshall's three-month-old nephew
is the size of a toddler, and runs off and buys a pregnancy test at a
convenience store. Later Marshall finds out Lily has been arrested for
urinating in public, and goes to the station to get Lily out and talk to
her. Lily tells Marshall her concerns about raising a family of
mayonnaise-eating giants in Minnesota, but Marshall assures her that
they are not going to settle down in Minnesota, and alleviates Lily's
fears. Finally, Marshall and Lily discover that Lily isn't pregnant, so
they return to the Eriksen home, much relieved.
Meanwhile, Robin and Ted have no plans for Thanksgiving, and
decide to help out at a soup kitchen. When they arrive there, they find
Barney volunteering there already, and ask to help. The organizer tells
them that they have enough volunteers, but after some pleading, they are
allowed to help. Soon after, they find out that not all the food
received as donations to the soup kitchen is actually distributed to the
needy; many volunteers walk away with food, especially rarer food
items. Ted, seeing that this is selfish, begins to distribute rare food
items to the needy. Ted, Robin, and Barney are kicked out, and Barney
(who was volunteer of the year) is pissed at Ted because Barney needed
to volunteer there because he was arrested for public urination one
night. In order for Ted to make it up to Barney, Ted and Robin agree to
go to the strip club
with Barney for Thanksgiving, and Ted, as an act of charity, pays for a
stranger's lap dance. Seeing this, another lap dancer compliments Ted
on his good nature, and reveals her real name: Tracy. In the year 2030,
Future Ted tells his kids "And that's the story of how I met your
Mother", shocking the kids before Ted reveals he was joking, much to
their relief.
