Building on the last two years of dramatic changes for the series -- death, pregnancy, unrequited affection -- the episode finds Marshall (Jason Segel) and Lily (Alyson Hannigan) leaving their friends in Manhattan for a subdued suburban life in Long Island.
It throws a confused Ted (Josh Radnor) and Barney (Neil Patrick Harris) in the arms of Lily's stripper doppleganger, first seen in the fifth season, but as creators Craig Thomas and Carter Bays promised a small group of press last week, the move won't likely stick.
Marshall and Lily were struggling with her dad around all the time — and Marshall asked him to move out. Papa Aldrin didn’t take it well.
But while they were dealing with an added presence in their life, the rest of the gang (…and Kevin) were struggling with the lack of Lily and Marshall in their lives. Ever since moving, Marshall and Lily could no longer get to the bar like before. So they tried to replace them with Stripper Lily and scary, stabby foreign Marshall (Stripper Lily’s boyfriend), but that worked out pretty much how you’d imagine.
Everything worked out in the end. Lily’s dad helped Marshall out of a tricky situation involving the fuse box (and was invited to stay for a bit more), and the gang realized there was no replacing their friends. Instead, they all decided that if Marshall and Lily wanted to have a new life in the ‘burbs, that they’d learn how to be a part of it. “Our booth is wherever the five of us were together,” future Ted said. And ain’t it the truth.
What did you think of the episode, readers? How epic were the two new credit sequences? And what was your favorite part of the episode?
