HIMYM is getting pretty serious nowadays. I know they throw some comedy in there, but it seems like the story lines are not as light and airy as they once were. Let's dig in.
We start off with a new set of future children, Robin's. She is telling them the story of how she met their father. It goes back to the bathroom scene where she tells Barney she is preggo. He reacts badly "maybe you are just fat" and she punches him. He does this a few more times, a few more punches, until he begs not to get hit again. They go to the doctor to get a test and they find out she is not pregnant. They do a dance for joy with music from his ipod and the doc dances too.
She goes home to do things that pregnant women cant. She drinks scotch, has a cigar and eats sushi. She gets a call from the doc that she needs to come back in. She finds out that she can never have children.
Over at the Erickson's, Marshall is going to put his new suburban neighbors to shame by decorating his house. He gets up on the roof and sees a neighborhood kid Scott, asking if he can help since his dad is so busy. He then calls him Mr. E which makes Marshall smile. He is an adult now. Funny enough, Marshall drops his cell phone, Scott kicks the ladder so he is trapped on the roof and throws a house party as him and his friends dance and eat a sandwich. Nice with keeping the continuity.
Meanwhile, Lily is back registering for baby gifts at "We B Babies" with Robin and Barney. When they thought they were pregnant, they thought it was all cute until Barney runs into his old bro Insane Duane. Who is now married with 4 kids to the girl he picked up at the bar with one line "boner" and now goes by the name Sane Duane. Barney is applaud and doesn't want kids even more.
The second time they go registering, Robin is the only one who knows she cant have kids. She thought that was what she wanted, but now that its not on the table she is horrified. She is so upset, but doesn't want the gang to get too concerned (Ted will try to comfort her, Barney will try to make her laugh, Lily will get too upset and Marshall will try and question it all) so she tells them she is too tall to be a Canadian pole vault jumper.
Lily goes back home and sees Scott, gives him a $50 for helping out - little does she know she text her boobs to him not Marshall and Ted tries to cheer Robin up. She says he cant cheer her up and that is that. He even goes as far to light the entire apartment up in Christmas lights and does something really amazing for her. They hug.
She takes her carton of Egg nog and sits in the snow on a bench in Central Park as she goes back to the future kids as they disappear, because she says she never had them and they are imaginary.
My heart breaks for Robin. Does yours?
