Theme Song!

After the break, we see a recap of the faceless woman tapping Ted on the shoulder as Saget!Ted narrates that it's a miracle that he ended up on that street corner at that particular time. For instance, when he left the apartment, he almost went right, but then changed his mind and went left. To explain why, we flash back to...

A Few Days Prior: Robin's on the air at COME ON GET UP, NEW YORK! interviewing a woman who custom-makes silk handbags.

Ted's apartment: Robin's lying on the couch with a blue mixing bowl right by her head. Oh dear, I have that bowl. I have three of them. But I use them for FOOD! Unregurgitated.

We always use a bucket as a safety, in case the sick person can't make it to the bathroom, but um... people are expected to make it to the bathroom if at all possible. My point is -- a bucket seems more appropriate. The scene's point is -- Robin has food poisoning. But we don't find that out until after she fakes out Ted that she's pregnant. He offers to marry her, but he'd still want to see other girls (really, Ted -- even if Robin were willing to marry you and have children -- well, things have changed) so they'd have to have "one of those" kinds of marriages. Robin tells him to stop it, and the real reason she's sick. Ted wants to know where she ate the bad food, but she doesn't want to say.
