Twin Beds

Don asked Robin to move in with her—well at first just asked her to move in on the couch, but then asked her to move in after Robin got confused. As the group discussed this, Ted mentioned he wants Robin out because she leaves empty cartons of milk in the fridge to remind herself to buy more milk.

Don learned that Barney and Robin had dated and that Ted and Robin dated. Don thought Ted was gay—which may have happened because Ted watches Project Runway and is following Cher on tour. Lily spilled the secret, that’s not a surprise. Don is iffy about their relationship. Don leaves the bar. Later he comes back and admits to being a total drama queen, asking Ted if that’s offensive.

Barney decides he must have Robin back. Ted suspects its like a little kid who throws away a toy but wants it back when another kid has it. Ted tells him about the letters he writes a letter to remind himself why not to get back together with ex-girlfriends. He made Barney write one when they broke up, and he brings out that letter when Barney thinks about that, but its mostly about boobs, and only makes Barney want her more.

Lily and Marshall went on vacation and wanted to complain that they had twin beds, but ended up sleeping the whole time. They struggled at home when they had to share a bed again, so they agree to get a mini fridge (random, but funny) and separate beds.

They get separate beds, but plan on getting another bed to just be a sex bed, and a beanbag for special birthday activities.

Don also thought twin beds were a good idea to have like Lily and Marshall, but they made him and his ex-wife grow apart, and he says he’ll get a king size bed if Robin movies in.

Lily is worried the same thing that happened to Don will happen to them, but Marshall still likes the idea because Lily kicks and is a thousand degrees.

Marshall kicks Lily out of his bed, but they end up in the same bed before morning.

Don likes the empty container reminder, so when Barney eats wasabi to impress Robin because Don loves spicy stuff, there’s nothing to help him feel better because they’re out of milk.

Ted looks at letters that mention how he stole the blue French horn but Robin didn’t want a serious relationship so she wasn’t right, but also learns he wants Robin back. So they decide to hold a calm, rational discussion about who deserves her more, but it results in them yelling at each other, but ultimately determining they have to get rid of Don figuratively. Then Barney suggests they literally get rid of him, and begin to worry they are becoming killers.

Barneys says he’ll take her until she’s forty, then Ted can have her. Barney runs to the bathroom, and both guys call Robin at the same time, very drunk. Barney beats Ted up. Barney says he has to get out there before something bad happens, and they both run to Robin’s. Ted brings the blue French horn, and Barney claims Ted is just holding it for them. Don is there. Don and Robin have to go to work, but he suggests the two boys just sit and watch TV until the get back, but Robin sees it as him putting two kids to sleep in their beds, leaving the viewer to think this is going to make Robin dislike Don, but that isn’t the case.

Ted and Barney wake up in Don’s twin beds. They say they just want to make Don feel part of the group. But Robin says she can’t hang out with her ex-boyfriends, so she’s moving in with Don and distancing herself. Ted decides they can’t do something like this again.

Ted finds an empty container of milk in the fridge, but Robin has moved out, but the blue French horn is still there.

My promise to be a better blogger

I know I've missed a lot of recaps, but I promise, once this semester is over (and trust me, it's fast approaching) I'll be a better blogger and I'll post more often. I will.

But coming up tonight I will have a recap (as asked for!) and a review of the second last episode of this season of How I Met Your Mother.


What I want to know is, what TV shows would you like to see me feature over the summer? Although the summer is historically sparse on the options for television, there are always plenty of DVDs and online episodes to catch up on. Plus, I promise to check out anything you suggest at least once!
