We have two plot lines in this episode featuring our favorite couple - Marshall and Lily going off to Marshall's home town to visit his parents for Thanksgiving. However Lily has missed her period for the last couple of days and goes on holiday with a preoccupied mind. Once at Marshall's family home she is bombarded with all the Erickson family traits - like being huge for one and she freaks out. She goes to the local convenience store and purchases a pregnancy test but due to the lack of a bathroom and her desperation for an answer she takes the test in the alley - and just as luck would have it she gets arrested for 'public urination' and gets put in a holding cell. Marshall comes to her rescue and they find out they are not really ready for children but if the fates want it that way they would be able to do it because of their love for one another. Luckily she was not pregnant and they were saved.
Meanwhile back in New York, Barney disappears for Thanksgiving and Ted and Robin decide they want to volunteer on Thanksgiving. Funnily enough they choose the one place place to volunteer where Barney is as well - doing court appointed community service for 'public urination' of all things. First they don't get to do much but eventually get a sorting job - when Ted and Robin realise the volunteers take much of the given food home he revolts and gets himself, Robin and Barney thrown out of the soup kitchen. So they head off to the closest strip club to experience a Barney style Thanksgiving.
The quote of the episode takes place at the strip club while Ted stands in line @ the all-you-can-eat buffet after he bought a homeless guy a lap dance as a good deed:
STRIPPER: Hey, I saw what you did for that guy. It was really sweet. Do you want a dance?
TED: No thanks. You wants some yams?
STRIPPER: No thanks. I'm amber
{She puts out her hands and they shake}
TED: I'm Ted
STRIPPER: Actually I'm Tracy
TED: Still Ted
FUTURE TED V.O: And that kids, is the true story of how i met your mother!
YEAR 2030 FUTURE KIDS SUDDENLY SIT UPRIGHT ON THE COUCH - ASTONISHED
DAUGHTER, SON: What??!
FUTURE TED V.O: I'm kidding
BARNEY-ISM of the episode takes place during the volunteer work at the soup kitchen:
BARNEY: Man, its' amazing out there. I've done so much good today, I've got like a soul boner. And the way the faces of the less fortunate light up when you give then a hot nutritional meal, is there a better feeling on earth?
ROBIN: Yesterday you said the best feeling on earth was getting your toes sucked. Then you requested a high-five with your foot
Barney is truly a legendary character - so long until next time
