Ted's on the lookout for baggage regarding the new girl he's been dating and in doing so finds his own in a newly released blockbuster movie called The Wedding Bride, written by Tony Graffanelo. The movie hilariously recounts the love triangle from Shelter Island....this is a can't miss.

The group (sans Robin) get tickets to Robots vs Wrestlers but are sidetracked by an upper crust party where Ted bonds with the elite while Barney, Marshall and Lily make hilarious doofuses of themselves. We also ultimately get to see the 4th doppleganger.

In a baseball metaphor heavy episode, Barney tries to have a perfect week bedding women to distract himself from problems at work. Ted alienates a girl in his class, Robin stings from being rejected by a dork and Marshall and Lily's personal hygiene freak people out.

A TOP EPISODE OF HIMYM!!! As Marshall retells adventurous stories of Jenkins, his new coworker, most of the gang assumes it's a man but then find out Jenkins is a woman (Amanda Peet). Marshall and Lily fight over which one of them is the reacher and which the settler. Ted and Robin fight over who is more popular with his class.
