In the car, Marshall is frozen in fear. Robin's ice cream is melting, which Ted points out, and he gets shushed. Barney changes the Chain of Screaming to the Pyramid of Screaming. Marshall frets that they're going to lose the apartment. He says he threw away their future. He fails to mention that it was Lily's debt that got them in this mess in the first place. Lily knocks on the window and scares everyone. Food and a cigar fly everywhere. Ted gets mad and tells everyone to get out. Barney throws in, "Ted, screaming never solved anything!"
Later on, Lily and Marshall are in the back seat of the car having a heart-to-heart. You don't need to be a comedy writer to know they're totally gonna do it later in this location. Marshall offers to go and beg for his job back. Lily won't let him. She doesn't want him miserable at his job. She just wants her husband back. They love each other.
Cut to MacLaren's. SagetTed says that they were able to make ends meet on the apartment without going bust. We see Ted hand over a check to Marshall. Very cool. "Who needs a car in New York City?" Ted asks. Marshall asks if he's sure. "Don't make me scream at you," Ted says. Ted asks if they did it in the car. "Oh, yeaaaaah," Marshall assures him.
Epilogue: Lily and Marshall sit up from where they were lying on the kitchen floor, presumably having sex. "Definitely this one," Marshall says, holding up one of the carpet samples. "Yeah," says Lily, her hair all tousled.
Wow, that was a short tag... to a great episode! Keep it up, show.
