How I Met Your Mother S05E12 – Girls Versus Suits
Barney must abandon suits to sleep with a hot bartender. Ted gets closer than ever to The Mother.
Future Ted again expounds on the unknowable nature of destiny, and tells the kids about the time he almost met their Mother . After leaving class, he intercepts a series of frat boys inviting a woman (Cindy ) up to the roof to drink. Confiscating the alcohol, he sits down to drink the beer with Cindy, a PhD student roughly his own age to whom he can relate. He asks her out on a date and when he comes to pick her up at her apartment, it turns out Cindy has serious issues with her roommate (who Future Ted reveals to be the Mother ); her dates keep falling in love with her roommate, and her roommate's strange habits annoy Cindy. Ted promises Cindy to never fall in love with her roommate - something to which future Ted says, "oops."
During the date, Cindy explains more about her roommate's strange habits which she dislikes but Ted secretly thinks are awesome. Cindy tells how the Mother paints pictures of robots playing sports and has breakfast foods singing show tunes. Future Ted reveals the painting of robots playing volleyball is still hanging in the den and that an English muffin singing "Memories" is the most hauntingly beautiful thing he has heard to this day. Even though she complains about her roommate throughout the evening, Ted wants to continue dating Cindy.
After the date, Cindy tells Ted she can't see him again, blaming the University policy preventing students and lecturers from fraternizing, as she fears it could cost her her scholarship. At first Ted tries to rationalize her decision as being for the best, especially as the others point out that Cindy's future and Ted's job are in jeopardy. Ted is inspired to try again, and shows up at Cindy's apartment and tries to persuade her to go out with him again, unwilling to miss out on the chance of her being the right woman. She takes Ted to talk in her room as her roommate is just about to leave the shower. As he tries to convince Cindy that their paths are meant to cross, he picks out items from her room which show how much they have in common. Cindy reveals that all three objects (the bass guitar, the Unicorns - 'Who will cut our hair when we are gone? ' album and World's End by T.C. Boyle ) are really connected to her roommate. Frustrated that Ted is already more compatible with her roommate, Cindy tells him to leave. Ted does not meet her roommate, although on his way out he does catch a glimpse of her foot, as she disappears into her bedroom. Ted forgets to take the yellow umbrella he brought with him, revealing how the Mother gets it back.
MacLaren's has hired a hot female bartender, Karina, and Barney seeks to add her occupation to his list of conquests. But she doesn't like men in suits, having dated insensitive Wall Street losers. Barney is forced to choose between the girl and the suits. For a while he attempts to dress casually, convincing the hot bartender she misjudged him. He even sneaks away to the bathroom to wear his suit, where he accidentally rips the back. The suit is damaged beyond repair, but his tailor transplants the buttons to save another suit and Barney cremates the remains.
Meanwhile, Lily, Marshall, and Robin argue about the bartender's hotness. Robin is jealous, and even gets behind the bar to show how the location amplifies natural beauty. Carl soon kicks her out from behind the bar. Marshall insists that the bartender is not that hot, saying that Lily is the most beautiful woman he has ever met. Lily tries to get Marshall to say that she is not as beautiful as the bartender, and eventually even implies that the bartender is hotter than Marshall, actually upsetting him a little.
With the urn of suit ashes and his real tears for his lost suit, Barney convinces the hot bartender to go home with him. In his apartment Karina accidentally opens his closet full of suits and realizes he deceived her. She forces him to choose between her and his suits. The scene then transitions to a fantasy sequence, during which she is shown angrily leaving the building while Barney breaks into song, professing his love of suits. He explains how he couldn't possibly choose one women over his suits that give him so much. He fires beams of magic at people on the street, transforming everyone so that they too are wearing suits. They and the rest of the cast all join in as the song grows to a big Broadway song-and-dance number. The sequence ends and we return to the moment where she gave him the ultimatum, where this time he admits his doubts to himself, saying she is "pretty hot." He tells her she is more important than the suits and they will go first thing in the morning. As they fall into bed, he turns to his suits and whispers, "you guys are fine."
