SagetTed walks us through Modern-Day Ted's next few sessions. At Session Two, he told Dr. Stella about how he spent a summer working with inner-city kids. Session Three, they spoke nothing but French. Hey, just like me! Session Four, she laughed so hard she fell out of her chair. We see her fall out of a chair. Session Five, Ted juggles some balls. Yeah, not such a good fiver. "Still no," she tells him. At MacLaren's, Ted still can't believe the juggling didn't impress. That's more a Session One or Session Two, Ted. Sorry. You don't want to work backward. Barney agrees with me. Ted asks how Barney's magic is any better than juggling. Barney asks if this is lame. He uses a little flash explosive that makes everyone jump. "No fireballs at the table!" Lily tells him. Marshall barks, asking what the Hell is wrong with him. Wendy the Waitress comes by to tell Barney that it's a fire code violation. Lily puts Barney in Time-Out. He has to go sit at another booth. Ted thinks Dr. Stella should be falling for him by now. Lily presents her non-bitten fingernails with a, "Kablamey!" and says she believes Ted can do this. Lily thinks it must be hard to impress when your butt's in the air. Marshall sticks up for baboon asses. "It's called 'presenting,' " he presents. From the other booth, Barney says a you can't change a "No" to a "Yes." Robin thinks persistence sometimes pays off. She says she eventually said yes. Barney says she always answers that they're friends and it'll mess up the dynamic of the group. "To Ted," she answers. Sorry, Barney. Ted says he's figured out the right angle.
