How I Met Your Mother S09E04 – The Broken Code
While Barney works through his anger at Ted after finding out he still has feelings for Robin, Marshall Skypes in to act as a judge and help settle their dispute. Meanwhile, Lily realizes she is Robin’s only girlfriend.
Picking up from the previous episode on Friday at 3:00 PM, (51 hours before the wedding), Barney confronts Ted over his meeting with Robin at the Central Park Carousel, specifically the tender moment Ted had shared with her by holding her hand. Ted explains he was only there to comfort Robin as a friend, and Barney seemingly accepts this.
Lily has improved her Marshpillow to incorporate a video screen with Marshall communicating through video chat while he is en route to Farhampton. Robin is impressed with it, but wishes Lily had put more time in planning her bachelorette party, in which no one but Patrice had showed up (much to Robin's anger). Lily apologizes, saying she was too busy planning the move to Rome, but later reveals the reason no one came was because Robin doesn't seem to have any girlfriends. Robin admits she has trouble connecting with other women, and Lily decides Robin needs to have at least one other female friend while she is away in Rome for a year. Lily has Robin try to befriend women at the hotel bar, and eventually hits it off with someone who shares her love for hockey. Lily then imagines that they are both hanging out at Barney and Robin's apartment and Robin suggests that they start sleeping together, as friends and not unfaithful to their marriages (confirming Lily's bisexuality). Lily is immediately jealous and drives her away, and two decide they'll be fine as long as they have each other, seemingly ignoring the fact that Lily and Marshall are moving to Rome for a year.
As Ted boasts about being the best man, including planning a poker game for Barney and handwriting the table cards for the reception in calligraphy, Barney informs Ted he accidentally forgot the cards, which Ted promptly agrees to remake. As part of Ted's best man duties, Barney also asks Ted to move from his current room to the basement to make room for a relative, and to house the cages for doves to be used at the wedding. When delivering the cards to Barney (after having to correct them again), Ted realizes Barney is mad at him for holding hands with Robin. Barney has chosen William Zabka to be the best man, who, along with Tim Gunn (who, as previously seen in Girls Versus Suits, is Barney's personal tailor), and Ranjit have already started the poker game. Barney claims Ted's actions go against the Bro Code, which Ted disagrees.
Unable to decide who is correct, the two ask Marshall (via video chat) to weigh in. Marshall asks the two to recreate the events, with Ted asked to hold Barney's hand and offer comfort, and see if it feels weird or not. Ted admits he still sometimes has feelings for Robin, but promises Barney he won't do anything to get between them and that he will try to let those feelings go. Barney forgives Ted and during a poker game, Barney reinstates him as the best man, much to Zabka's evident displeasure.
