How I Met Your Mother S08E15 – P.S. I Love You
Barney uncovers the lost episode of Robin’s “Underneath the Tunes” as
Robin Sparkles. Meanwhile, Marshall and Lily are concerned that Ted’s
new girlfriend is a stalker.
While riding the subway, Ted notices a woman reading the same book as he does (One Hundred Years of Solitude), however she exits the train before he can even talk to her.
At the bar, Ted tells this to Marshall and Lily, then tells them that he listed a few details he remembered that would help him find her. They tell him that this is creepy and he should let that girl go. Ted tells them that this is destiny, but Marshall tells him that Lily and him meeting at Wesleyan was destiny. He takes the pad (and the back-up pad) from him. However, the next day, he sees the girl outside the university where he teaches. He tells the gang that the girl's name is Jeanette. He tells them that she wanted to find him too, listing the things she remembered about him, which lead her to the university. However, she wasn't able to find his class and was going to give up when the fire alarm sent him out. Lily says that Jeanette is a stalker, but Ted tells her that there is a fine line between love and insanity, and explains a theory he came up with; The Dobler-Dahmer Theory. "If both people are into each other, then a big romantic gesture works: Dobler, but if one person isn't into the other, the same gesture comes off serial-killer crazy: Dahmer." He further explains by applying this theory on how Marshall asked Lily out by singing her a song he wrote. He further says that he was charmed by Jeanette finding him, thus she is a Dobler. Marshall and Barney tell him that they think that she was the one who pulled the fire alarm so she can meet him. However, Robin says that they shouldn't be so cavalier about the word "stalker". Barney thinks that she has a stalker and asks her about it. But Robin tells him that she was a stalker. Back in Canada, she liked a guy who wasn't interested in her and she got obsessed over him. She filled up her journals all about him and eventually got a restraining order put up against her. Barney says that she must have been a nut bag back then, but Robin says that she wasn't and agrees with Ted about there being a fine line and anyone can cross it and get obsessed. Barney asks her who the guy is. However, Robin tells him that she will only tell him about the guy if he admits that anyone can become obsessed.
Barney later breaks into Robin's apartment to read her old journals. He then flies to Canada to find the guy Robin was obsessed with. He then meets two of Robin's exes, neither of whom is the guy Robin was obsessed with. He then meets Simon. He tells Barney about a video documentary, "Robin Sparkles: Underneath the Tunes", which tells the whole story. Barney runs out of the restaurant to find the documentary. Barney then goes back to The Apartment and tells the others (minus Robin) that he found another Robin Sparkles related video. They watch the video, which tells the story of how Robin Sparkles changed, and includes talks with other Canadian celebrities about what happened at that time. The video explains that Robin cracked and wrote a grunge song P.S. I Love You as Robin Daggers, a darker alter ego. The song was so dark that Dominant Records refused to release it. The gang then see the video to the song and are shocked to see Robin's darker side. The video then shows Robin performance during the half time show of the 84th Grey Cup. Robin tells the spectators that Robin Sparkles is dead and she will be known from that point on as Robin Daggers. She then takes off her Robin Sparkles wig and jacket to reveal a darker look, and starts singing P.S. I Love You. The video further says that the one name that comes more than any other about who P.S. I Love You was about is Alan Thicke. Barney goes to his apartment to fight him, but returns with a black eye. Robin asks what happened to him and he tells her that they saw "Robin Sparkles: Underneath the Tunes" and that lead him to Alan Thicke who he fought. He tells him that "P.S. I Love You" song was not about him. Robin then says that it looks like he has become obsessed, which he realizes is true. He admits that anyone can become obsessed. Robin then tells them that P.S I Love was about P.S.; Paul Shaffer. She is sorry about scaring Paul Shaffer who was sitting in the front row of the Grey Cup, but she has no regrets as she was done being Robin Sparkles.
Meanwhile, Ted asks Jeanette if she pulled the fire alarm. She tells him that she was so close to meeting him, so she pulled the fire alarm as she couldn't stand the idea of not meeting him. Ted is charmed by this and tells Marshall and Lily that Jeanette is still a Dobler. Marshall and Lily later go to the university and see that there isn't even a fire alarm in the lobby and Jeanette must have started a fire to sound the alarm. Ted later asks Jeanette if she started a fire, and she says she did so to meet him, and Ted is charmed by this as well. Marshall keeps saying that what Jeanette did was not okay and asks Lily to support him. However, Lily says that she has been living a lie; back in Wesleyan, she saw Marshall at orientation. She made up the excuse of needing someone to set up her stereo and knocked at many doors before she found Marshall's room. However, Marshall is charmed by this. He apologizes to Ted and says that Jeanette is a Dobler and so is he.
Later, at his apartment, Ted tells Jeanette that if she hadn't been reading the same book as him, they would never have met and that's destiny. He then finds a receipt her book and realizes that she bought the book at the same store he did, within ten minutes of him buying his. She tells Ted that she followed him to the store. Ted asks how long she has been following him and she tells him a about year and a half ago, when he was on the cover of New York magazine. Future Ted then says, "Before a man meets the woman he will marry, he'll make one final horrible mistake. For me, that was Jeanette." Ted then starts making out with Jeanette.
