Ted asks what happened. Mickey laughs. "Sorry, Ted. Gall bladder burst! You move back three spaces." It is then that Marshall finally loses his patience. "You come in here, and you watch your daughter leave and you don't even care. And now you've destroyed Thanksgiving dinner! Lily -- Lily worked all day on this!" Mickey tells him to relax.
