How I Met Your Mother S09E18 – Rally
When Barney suffers from the world’s worst hangover the morning of his
wedding, the gang tries to figure out the far-fetched ingredients to
concoct the Stinson Hangover Fixer Elixir.
In the beginning we can see The Mother and Ted going to a New Year's Eve party in a limo in 2021. We find out that The Mother wrote a book that, according to Ted, could end poverty in our time. When Ted wants to "go big tonight", The Mother says that he is going to be hungover the next day. In response to that, Ted mentions the vow he took the day of Barney and Robin's wedding.
After that, the show goes back to the day of the wedding and we see the gang trying to fight Barney's hangover to make it to the family wedding pictures since the time is 8:00 am (10 hours until the wedding ) and they start at 10. Ted suggests the Weekend at Barney's play, but Robin is against it. But they then remember that Barney makes the Stinson's Hangover Fixer Elixir that can cure any hangover, but can't figure out what the secret ingredient is.
Seeing how miserable Barney is, Marshall vows not to get that drunk again as sure as he is never going to lose his hair. We can immediately see a flashforward to the day he broke his vow. We see him competing with Brad Morris to the New York State Supreme Court in 2020. Brad has a lead over Marshall. We also find out that in the very stressful three weeks of the campaign Marshall lost his hair. Four hours later, Marshall wins the election, but at that point he is really drunk, reacting to the news with: "Come again for Judge Fudge?" and telling the reporters how proud he is to be the next commissioner of Gotham City.
Back on the day of the wedding, Ted and Marshall pick up the ingredients for Stinson's Hangover Fixer Elixir which is shown to have helped the gang in their hangovers. Meanwhile, Robin and Lily try to wake Barney up to find out the secret ingredient of the elixir. Lily and Robin accidentally throw Barney down the stairs. When that doesn't wake him up, Robin decides to use some of her father's methods for waking her up to school: she puts his head in a bowl of ice-cold water, tries to scare him with a footage of a wild bear and threatens to cut his tie.
At that moment Lily vows to never get that drunk again. We can immediately see a flashforward to the day she broke her vow. It was the day Marvin went to college (Wesleyan University). After lecturing him about not drinking under age, she and Marshall go to a nearby bar to get drunk. After a shot, they see Marvin coming into the same bar. Marvin's reaction is: "You son of a bitch" and Lily's reaction is: "You son of a me".
Back on the wedding day, we see Marshall and Ted having picked up almost all of the ingredients for the Stinson's Hangover Fixer Elixir. The list includes ginger, bananas, Funyuns and Tantrum. The next ingredient is grease which turns out to be hard to obtain in the kitchen because the menu is organic. The only grease is bacon grease which is thrown out. The chef says that they won't make any more bacon that day unless someone eats the whole prepared bacon before the breakfast is over. Ted expects Marshall to step up to the task because he was able to eat an eight-pound block of fudge in 12 minutes when he got accepted to Columbia (that's how he got the nickname Big Fudge). Ted also states that he is allergic to bacon, but Marshall tells him that his mother was lying to him to get him to eat healthy. After finding that out, Ted eats the whole batch of bacon himself and gets a stomach ache. Future Ted says that it was the first and the last time he ever ate bacon.
Upstairs, Robin vows not to get that drunk again. We can immediately see a flashforward to the day she broke her vow. It is in Argentina in 2016. Barney and Robin wake up on the floor and decide to stay quiet for the rest of the day. At that moment, a baby starts crying. Barney smiles and says that this happens every time, and Robin picks up the baby. After a moment, she realizes that she doesn't know whose baby is it and an Argentinian woman comes into the room and throws Barney and Robin out.
Back on the wedding day, Robin says that there is one thing they haven't tried to wake Barney up. She suggests that Lily and her "make out" which makes Lily very excited. Robin tries to make the moment special for her by acting sexy. She compliments her looks and continually strokes her hair and cheek, then leans in for a passionate kiss. They stop when Barney abruptly wakes up and begs for more action and reveals that the elixir was actually a lie that was supposed to make them all believe that they could rally in the hardest moments. The gang realizes that Barney loves them and they decide to lie to him, telling him that they did Weekend at Barney's for the family pictures, when in reality they had to cancel the photos, and Robin Sr. got so angry he kicked Barney in the his crotch. When Robin and Lily walk up to the bar to get more drinks, Robin says that she felt bad about Ted and Marshall missing it, and suggests that they do it together, tied up. Lily says no, saying that once was enough. Robin then asks Lily where they should do it, to which Lily replies admitting that it felt weird for her and leaves. Robin then implies that she enjoyed the experience and would like to do it again.
At that moment, Ted vows never to get that drunk again. We can then see a flash forward to the New Year's day 2022. The Mother wakes up with a horrible hangover and Ted brings her the Stinson's Hangover Fixer Elixir, reassuring her that it really works. After she takes a few sips, Penny and Luke run into the bedroom and The Mother starts hugging them.
In the last scene, When Robin and Lily walk up to the bar to get more drinks, Robin says that she felt bad about Ted and Marshall missing it, and suggests that they do it again, and this time, tied up. Lily says no, saying that once was enough. Robin then asks Lily where they should do it, to which Lily replies admitting that it felt weird for her and leaves. Robin then implies that she enjoyed the experience and would like to do it again. That leaves Robin feeling "stupid, so stupid...".
