How I Met Your Mother S09E01 – The Locket

On their way to Long Island for their wedding weekend, Robin and Barney come across a startling family discovery. Meanwhile, Marshall sees something online that changes the course of his entire journey back east, and Lily confronts Ted about letting go of Robin.
It’s Friday 11:00 A.M. (55 hours before the wedding) and Lily and Ted are headed to the Farhampton inn, however Ted's driving habits, such as driving too slow, wearing his driver gloves and slowing down to see the roadside attractions on the way annoys Lily.

Robin and Barney are also headed to Farhampton in a limo, with Ranjit driving. On the way, they talk about their wedding wildcards. They find out that they both have a "crazy cousin Mitch" and there is a chance that they might be related. They both talk to their families to find out how he is related to them. Robin later gets a call from her grandmother, explaining that Mitch was adopted into Robin's family after his parents died. Barney and Robin are relieved to hear this. Barney then says that he is not worried about wild cards anymore and their wedding is going to be legendary.

Sitting in an airplane in Minnesota, Marshall is in a dilemma about how to tell Lily that he took the judgeship. He wonders this out loud, annoying the woman sitting next to him (named Daphne). Just as the flight is ready for takeoff he gets a notification on his cell phone that his mother has posted a photo of Marvin. He opens it and sees a photo of him and Marvin with the caption about him becoming a judge. He realizes that if he got this notification, then Lily must have too.

In the car with Ted, Lily gets the notification on her phone but decides not to open it as Judy has been trying to convince them not to go to Italy through photos of her and Marvin. When Ted takes a detour to see another roadside attraction, he and Lily get into a fight with Lily demanding that he drop her off at the train station.

Still sitting in the airplane, Marshall calls his mother and asks her to remove the photo. He guides her how to remove it but she is unable to. The flight attendant asks Marshall to turn off his phone as he is delaying the flight. Daphne asks him to give her the phone and when he doesn't she tries to grab it from him. This results in both of them getting kicked of the flight.

At the airport, Marshall says that he got the password from his mother and will remove it himself. He tries to do so, but even with the help of everyone else at the airport, can't figure out how to delete the photo.

Lily walks in the train which happens to be the same one The Mother is taking to Farhampton. Missing Marvin, she starts mumbling which The Mother overhears. She offers her cookies she brought on the train as Lily looks stressed. The Mother comes over and sits next to Lily and Lily starts telling her about Ted's driving habits, which the mother also shares. When Lily wonders why Ted was acting this way, The Mother suggests that it seems like he wanted her to get out of the car. Lily wonders why Ted would do such a thing but then remembers about the locket.

A few days ago, Ted told Lily that the locket wasn't in the racecar pencil box, and Lily says that it's a good thing as the locket is trouble. Ted says that it's just a friendly gestures but Lily says that he thinks that getting the locket will help him win Robin back. He tells her that he has let it go, but a few seconds later says that there might be a slight chance that Stella has the locket from when they were living together. He emailed her, but she is living in L.A. and said that he'd have to fly out there and look for the locket in her storage unit. He promises Lily that he won't do that.

Lily calls Ted from the train, but he doesn't pick up. Lily then says that she has to beat Ted to Farhampton. She says that this is too stressful and she has to see Marvin’s photo. The Mother says that Lily made her promise not to let her see the photo and takes her phone away but Lily tries to snatch it back and they get into a fight. After the fight, they both apologize to each other and The Mother allows Lily to see the photo. However, at the airport, Marvin accidentally deletes the photo before Lily can see it. This upsets Lily even more, and the mother hugs Lily to comfort her.

Ted enters the Farhampton Inn with a wrapped up box in his hand. He walks over to Robin but Lily tackles him from behind. Ted gets up and gives the box to Robin. She opens it to see a photo of the gang from eight years ago. Robin is touched after seeing the photo. Lily then tells Robin that Marshall's flight just took off and he and Marvin will be here soon.

At the airport, Marshall learns that there is only one more flight to New York with one seat left and it is all the way across the airport. He and Daphne race to get there first.

At the Inn, Lily apologizes to Ted. She asks him not to do anything insane this weekend and Ted says that he won't.

A flashback to four days ago shows Ted at an airport asking for a ticket to L.A.
