How I Met Your Mother S07E10 – Tick Tick Tick…

Barney and Robin find themselves in an uncomfortable situation when they hide a secret from their significant others. Meanwhile, Marshall, Lily and Ted attend a concert.


The episode continues after Disaster Averted, starting with Barney and Robin in bed regretting what just happened. Robin says that she can't believe she cheated on Kevin and Barney says the same about Nora. Barney says "What's the expression..two wrongs make a right?", but Robin corrects him with "Two wrongs don't make a right!". They talk about how that have to go on a boat for 3 hours with Kevin and Nora later that evening.

Meanwhile in Ted's apartment, Lily, Marshall, and Ted are going to Groova Palooza. Ted says that he got a 'Sandwich', but Lily says that Marshall can't have it. At the concert, before Lily comes, Ted and Marshall eat the sandwich. Marshall says that it was probably a special sandwich with "hard meats" because he isn't getting paranoid like usual. When Lily sits down, Marshall, while high, whispers to Lily; "Lily has no idea I'm high", then realizes what just happened and whispers it to Ted.

Back on the boat, sponsored by Sandy Rivers (so he can sleep with a new intern), Barney and Robin realize that they like each other. Barney is nervous about it but Kevin thinks Barney is nervous about meeting Nora's parents. Later when a band plays, Future Ted swears that the singer was telling Barney and Robin to tell the truth. They agree that they must tell their dates. Sandy tells the female intern, Erica, that he intends to sleep with her, and she throws her drink at him. Sandy ducks and the drink hits Kevin, causing him to fall and hit his head - giving him a concussion. That's why Robin did not tell Kevin about her and Barney. While Barney argues that he can't tell Nora, because she spilled sauce on her outfit. Barney and Robin then agree to tell their partners about the night before when they get off the boat, they are then to meet at MacLaren's at midnight to talk about their relationship.

At the concert, Lily asks for some nachos, and Ted and Marshall look for nachos. Since they 'ate a sandwich', they think the line for the women's bathroom is the line for nachos, after realizing this they walk around and find that they walked around the whole stadium. They continually see a weird man with a guitar, and they also continually think the women's bathroom line is the line for nachos. The creepy guitarist guy talks with Ted and gives him nachos. Ted says it doesn't matter since the concert is almost over and he walks away. Then Marshall sees the guitarist have a heart attack, and decides to forgive Ted for an earlier conflict. They sit down and are annoyed because they think they have been gone so long the concert is over, but Lily comes out to find them and tells them it hasn't even been 2 minutes. The truth is then revealed, with a security camera showing footage of the last two minutes. Ted and Marshall are shown walking round in a circle and shouting to each other. The creepy guitarist was really a life-size stand, and the nachos he "gave" Ted were actually pulled out of the trash, which resulted in Ted knocking him over accidentally - this was the cause of the 'heart attack.'

In the hospital, Kevin tells Robin that he loves her, for the first time. Robin then begins to tell Kevin about Barney, but Kevin stops her and says; "There are some things that need to be said, but not everyone needs to hear. I don't care about your past... I just care about the present."

At Nora's apartment, Nora's parents showed up a day early. Barney thinks, 'Why didn't I tell her on the boat [about sleeping with Robin]?'When Nora's parents say that when you met someone you love, you'll always think about them, Barney suddenly thinks about Robin. While Nora's parents are in the kitchen getting coffee, Barney tells Nora, and she asks if it meant anything, and Barney said yes, it did. Barney meets Ted, Marshall & Lily at the bar and tells them about breaking up with Nora, but he doesn't want to talk about it. Robin then comes into the bar looking glum, followed shortly after by Kevin. Barney looks at Robin as if to say 'What happened?' and she looks shakes her head. Barney then announces he should head home while Ted also tells the gang he should go to bed.

Ted goes up to his apartment and sees Barney blowing out candles and removing rose petals off of Robin's bed. He goes to his room, slightly confused.
