Ted's Apartment. Ted tries to console Robin over finding out Don's a rabbit, after all. Robin snaps on rubber gloves as she says, "Ted, this may hurt a little." Hold the phone. What's she going to do to the poor little duckling? Oh, never mind. She clears that right up. She's going to recycle his old architecture magazines and otherwise clean the apartment. "You go on your date. Happy Valentine's Day." A funny look comes over Ted's face. Robin smiles and looks down. Ted's return smile looks full of regret. We cut to...

Manhattan Street: Ted meets up with Marshall and tells him maybe they should call off the whole thing. Marshall says he can't. They found a girl. "We were searching all week," liar "and a couple of hours ago..."

We flash back to Lily and Marshall sitting in MacLaren's reviewing a list of Ted's exes: Trudy -- married; Blah Blah -- committed (not to someone; in Bellevue); Natalie -- hates Ted." Just then YKW comes in and slams the phone down in front of Lily and Marshall, begging them to get rid of it. He says it's cursed -- maybe that explains the nearly offensive levels of over-acting, here. YKW screams: "It ruining my life!" I scream back, "You're ruining other people's story lines now, too. Go back in the dumpster and finish your time out." Ahhhh, blessed Ranjit -- who is now wearing his hand-knit hat, scarf, and hand-warmers, grabs YKW by the shoulders. "[YKW] let it go... to voice mail." He scoops YKW up like a little baby and carries him out of the bar and off my screen. I hope he gets a big tip. Let's start an untainted paragraph, shall we?
