HIMYM - catching up (eps 20-22)

Hey y'all, I've been super-busy with exams and whatnot, so it's been really hard to catch up on EVERYTHING, so here's what I'm doing - a short recap of every episode I've missed, all in one post. Here goes!!

The Time Travellers - Episode 20 (aired March 25th)
Barney is trying to convince Ted to go to Robots vs. Wrestlers, and Ted is reluctant, so they call in 20-years-from-now Barney and Ted, who look the EXACT same except they're wearing silver suits. And then 20-hours-from-now Ted comes in all hung over and weepy begging Ted not to do it.
Meanwhile, Marshall has invented a drink (and I'm not one for alcohol, but it sounds delicious, by the way) and Robin kept ordering them, so the bar named them after her and he's all jealous and challenges her to a dance battle.
I mean seriously. I'd drink that.

I would have loved to see that, but Lily thinks he's being silly and tells him not to do it. Boooo spoiling my fun... Anyways, then he goes and writes her (Robin's) name and number on the wall in the men's room.
She busts into the men's room and scribbles it out and then writes him a lengthy apology blaming her childhood for wanting attention, and while he's reading it, we flash back out to the Teds and Barneys at the table, who are then joined by 20-minutes-from-now Barney, who has a huge stain on his shirt. Current Barney gets spaghetti on his shirt. So now they match.
Back in the bathroom, the end of Robin's apology reads 'maybe I just wrote this so you'd stand there to read it long enough that a lady would walk in, causing you to freak out and hide in a stall.' Then a lady walks in, and he does - and written on the back of the stall is this: 'GOTCHA!! Signed, Robin, the creator of the Robin Sherbatsky' and a smiley face.

Kelso always says it best.
The Teds and Barneys at the table all look at the door when 20-minutes-from-now Barney tells them to, and in walks a girl! And open went my jaw!!! Because it's Jayma Mays, the woman who plays Emma Pilsbury on Glee, and who (for serious HIMYM followers) was the coat check girl at that noisy club the gang went to in season 1!!! That Ted talked to and really liked!! I mean, holy continuity, Batman!!! But everyone except for current Ted remembers her - even all the Barneys., which is weird considering he never remembers the women HE sleeps with, let alone random ones Ted chatted up that random night 7 years ago. Anyway.
Marshall scares a bunch of women in the bathroom and the bartender refers to a guy being creepy as 'pulling a Marshall Erickson' - and then Marshall doesn't know Carl's last name.
Ted goes to talk to coat-check girl, and then gets pulled aside by 2 copies of Coat-check-girl-20-months-from-now, one who he's gotten sick of, and one who's gotten sick of him. And that means it wouldn't have gone well. So she leaves. 
HAHAHAHAH then Robin and Marshall actually did a dance-off, after some ridiculously lame trash talk, including the following gems: 'You're gonna lose, because I'm Sparkles, bitch!' and 'Oh, you think you can step to me? Step up to the streets? Step up, over me, into the streets?' (from Robin and Marshall, respectively).
And then Barney tells Ted he was sitting there all alone because he's dwelling on the past. And now he tells his kids that if he had that night to do over again he would go tell his future wife the following:
How I met Your Mother 8x20 "Time Travellers" - how-i-met-your-mother Photo
There's more to the speech but it made me cry...
 And then her boyfriend shows up and punches him in the face. It's complicated. BUT THEN this moment happens, and as a Billy Joel fan, it made me SO HAPPY!!!!!
