While Ted thinks he is agreeing to pay for dinner, Stella tells her sister they will take over her wedding and all the arrangements, so they do not go to waste.
He tells Lily it will be a good opportunity to hook up with Robin, who is living in Japan but has agreed to return for the wedding.
Robin's job in Japan has turned out to be a ridiculous farce involving more camera time spend on her chimpanzee co-hosts than on news reporting, which disappoints her.
The day before the wedding, the group travels to Shelter Island only to find that the venue is a yoga resort, which disappointingly serves only vegan food and non-alcoholic drinks.
Marshall, Lily and Barney try to console Ted, while Robin sees Stella and Tony together on the ferry from Shelter Island.
Ted finally understands that Stella was not really worried about Robin coming to the wedding, but was thinking about her unresolved issues with Tony.
In an interview for Television Without Pity, series co-creator Craig Thomas praised guest star Jason Jones, saying that they "all just dorked out" when casting him because they were such fans of The Daily Show.
