When Stella comes over on the night that she is meant to have sex with Ted, Marshall and Lily accidentally reveal they know her secret.
When Ted jokingly picks up the phone to tell Marshall and Lily about it after the deed is done, Stella pushes him off the bed in a lighthearted manner.
He puts applications up on his blog and receives few responses except for an enthusiastic proposal from his colleague Randy.
After unsuccessfully resorting to calling up old friends and previous wingmen, he decides to be the "bro" to Randy and give him a chance.
After another bad attempt, Robin points out that Barney is trying to fill the void left behind by Ted by rushing into wingmanship with Randy as a rebound bro.
