I actually got excited about this."

In episodes 6 and 7, The Slutty Pumpkin and Matchmaker, Nick and Miki witness Ted “Ted out” in his quest to find the One–with some cringy results. Robin gets introspective about whether she would rather be a “we” or an “I.” Meanwhile, Lily and Marshall have a harrowing brush with the supernatural–luckily, Nick has some credible theories on the mystery of Bigfoot and UFOs. Barney…is basically just Barney.
