Last week Ted and Barney came to an understanding over Ted’s unresolved feelings for Robin and now it’s time for them to face off again: this time in a poker game with the whole gang.
Ted, Barney, Robin and Lily are still in Farhampton preparing for Barney and Robin’s wedding, but it looks like all wedding prep can come to a grinding halt when it’s poker time. Last week saw the beginning of the eponymous poker game that included Barney, Ted, Marshall, Ranjit, Tim Gunn and Karate Kid villain William Zabka. All figure to be back this week with two new entrants: Barney’s mom and Robin.
Barney will be forced to pick sides between his mom and Robin and things will get a little awkward.
Meanwhile, Ted and Marshall will get into a fight over wedding gifts and thank you notes. Knowing Ted, he’s likely on the side of meticulously crafted thank you notes.
