A bartender, Doug, gets Ted and Barney involved in a fight with a group of guys sitting in the gang's favorite booth.
Marshall and Lily try to warn them off, but Barney vows to join in when Robin reveals that she is turned on by violence.
Afraid of appearing unmasculine, they take the credit after Barney creates "battle wounds" by blackening his own eye and punching Ted in the nose.
Robin, Ted and Barney laugh Marshall off, believing his fights with his brothers to be gentle and childish horseplay.
Marshall is shown with Lily at his mother's house 3–5 years later for Thanksgiving and he pulls out a lightsaber to carve the turkey.
