.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/220?cb=20140117092702)
When Barney drinks too much, Ted and Robin take advantage of him and get him to reveal secrets he’s been hiding for years. Meanwhile, Marshall does everything he can to avoid fighting with Lily.
The first scene, a flashforward, is set 1:45 A.M. in the year 2017 where the visibly pregnant Mother and Ted are at the Farhampton Inn. The Mother has gone into labour and is experiencing contractions. Ted prepares to leave for the hospital with her.
The storyline flashes back to the latest development in Future Ted's story to his kids. Going back to Sunday at 2:00 am (16 hours before the wedding ), Barney is still feeling the slap from Marshall an hour ago. Robin wants to rest for the big day, but Marshall buys drinks for the group to keep them up and together, all because he wants to sustain the pause postponing his argument with Lily. Future Ted narrating recalls his mother's teaching of Nothing Good Happens After 2 A.M. as the clock strikes 2:01 A.M. and the gang are still drinking.
Barney quickly enters the 'Jabba-the-Hutt' stage of drunkenness, which Ted explains is high on a scale of various levels of inebriation he has witnessed Barney in during their friendship. Soon after with more Glen McKenna 35 from Marshall, Barney enters an entirely new level of drunkenness where he continually speaks the truth, especially when prompted. Seeking advantage of the opportunity, Ted and Robin grill him on topics that have left them desperate for clarity over the years. Questions and subsequent responses reveal: Barney and Virginia never got to where Ted imagined, Barney spends an exorbitant annual sum on suits accounting for the fact that Robin holds a lot of family money unbeknownst to Ted, Barney slept with Madeleine Albright when she was not the Secretary of State, and the details of what Barney does for a living. Encouraged to delve deeper, Barney sets the scene for a comprehensive explanation of what exactly he is employed to do beyond the word "P.L.E.A.S.E."
Back in 1998, after being dumped by Shannon for Greg, Barney went through his tranformation that left him awesome and decided to enter the corporate world, but with ulterior motives. He finds and asks Greg for a corporate job at AltruCell Corporation, and is given the 'please' task, an acromyn for Provide Legal Exculpation And Sign Everything. The task legally implicated Barney in all corporate mishaps and schemes. Barney then reveals the main motivation (besides morality) behind his employment record was to track Greg down, gain his trust, then destroy him for stealing Shannon from him.
At the same time, Marshall is told by Lily upstairs that they won't start fighting until after sex, which makes Marshall determined to bang Lily until she fell asleep. He even enlists the aid of some performance-enhancing drugs from Barney to sustain his bravado. Marshall is successful but inadvertently wakes her and they fight. Marshall explains he loves Lily and that the judgeship could be a huge benefit for their family's future, thus necessitating face-to-face discussion; he remarks the judgeship should not be given up in favor of Lily's 'hobby' of art consultation. Lily is adamant about 'following her dream' by going to Italy and refuses to budge. She claims Marshall acted more selfishly than she ever was to him for taking the Judgeship without considering or consulting her. A visibly taken aback Marshall calls her logic out by citing her incomparably selfish decision to break up with him, call off their engagement and wedding and leave for San Francisco. Lily refutes with the fact she apologized repeatedly and nothing is more important to her than her family and is upset Marshall is now saying he never forgave her for what she did. Marshall demands to know whether he, Marvin, and any future children they might have are acting as a consolation prize for what Lily was unsuccessful in finding in San Francisco. Unable to respond and without pausing, a broken Lily departs and calls an unrevealed figure to pick her up and leave the Inn immediately.
Meanwhile, Ted and Robin pose their last questions to truthful Barney, who assures Robin that there will be a ring bearer named Trevor Hudson at the wedding, since he wants her to have the perfect wedding. Touched, Robin leaves for bed and entrusts Ted with Barney. Barney admits to Ted that he really loves Robin, and without her he would still be broken. Fast forwarding to 2017, The Mother and Ted are leaving the Inn to go to the hospital with their daughter Penny. Future Ted admits while Virginia always said Nothing Good Happens After 2 AM, the one exception was his son, Luke being born. In the last scene before the credits, a husky animal keeper is dragging a chain in a dimly lit holding room for large animals and proclaims, "C'mon Trevor Hudson, it's feeding time," at which an audible growl is heard.
