Ted arranges to meet her at the bar, and is determined not to screw up this time to make sure she comes in contact with as few other men as possible, even ordering her a taxi with a female driver.
Robin reminds Ted he still has to teach his evening class, and he is forced to leave Maggie with Marshall and Lily.
The rat-tailed, overalls-wearing 15-year-old insists that Future Marshall get an expensive vehicle, a hot wife, and that he never "sell out".
Robin shamelessly flirts with Jim and butts in on his invitation to take Maggie to an art show, trying to keep him distracted.
On the GNB basketball court, Marshall explains how sad he is to have never reached his dreams, but Lily insists that he has led a wonderful life.
Future Ted briefly retells their long-standing romance, the second-greatest love story he's ever heard, and flashes forward to their married bliss.
[2] Eric Hochberger of TV Fanatic said that the episode brought a few laughs regarding Marshall and Barney stories.
