The group decide to go to "Shinjitsu", a teppanyaki restaurant, for dinner, where Barney insults the cooking style, claiming he can do with ease all the techniques the chef can do.
Barney unnerves Marshall and Lily throughout dinner with suggestions that he is as adept at cooking as he claims and has gone to the effort to take the Shinjitsu training course.
In desperation, Lily pulls up her shirt and flashes her breasts at Barney, which distracts and prevents him from succeeding at the final cooking technique.
When Ted offers to help Victoria wash the dishes at her bakery, he learns that she is getting engaged to Klaus, a classmate from Germany.
He becomes upset when he further learns that she got together with him a day and a half after she and Ted broke up, meaning that he spent years feeling guilty for kissing Robin when Victoria was planning on leaving him for Klaus anyway.
