She discusses this with the gang, who argue that Marshall would be happy to move to Italy, but Lily stands by her decision.
Visiting Marshall at work, Lily finds most of the office empty as the firm lost a lot of business after the case against Gruber Pharmaceuticals, leaving him as one of only two workers remaining.
When the Captain offers the job again, Lily turns him down, and later admits to Marshall that after her bad experiences in San Francisco, she is apprehensive about such a big move, especially since they will have no friends and cannot speak Italian.
Robin is also curious about what's underneath the coat and when Liddy goes to the bathroom, Barney bemoans the fact that Marshall is not present.
