Ted realizes that living alone is the best thing that has ever happened to him as he has the liberty to do all kinds of silly stuff and live every American's dream of spending the night with ribs and beer. Barney decides to make every night "Legen-dary" by doing something awesome like starting a Mariachi band, bringing a horse to the bar etc. We later learn that this is just a scheme of Barney's to distract himself from having bad, worrying thoughts of Quinn while she is on her 'stripper' job. He admits (not for the first time) that he is really in love with her.
Meanwhile, Lily sleep-cheats Marshall by having a sex dream about Ranjeet and Robin becomes an overnight celebrity as she successfully lands a helicopter after it's pilot falls unconscious.
This is one of those rare episodes where every primary character gets equal emphasis and screen space. But those who stand out are Barney and Robin. Robin has had a tough year and it is heart warming to see her fulfil her dream and achieve happiness. Although any HIMYM fan would prefer the old-Barney, it is still good to see him mature and fall in love. His contemplations seem genuine and are definitely heart warming. The best thing about Quinn is that unlike Nora (remember her ??) she is not hell bent on changing Barney, so we get highlights of both the ladies man Stinston and the mature-love ridden Barney.
Barney's legendary nights and his rating system, Lily's embarrassed vermilion face, Ted's dress and Marshall's insecurity all contribute to making the episode mildly amusing. Ted and Robin also move a step further towards solving their problems.
Comprehensively, it is good episode which takes the story forward while inducing a Level 3/4 laughter (Check out nine levels of laughter on the internet) !!
Star Rating : ★★★1/2 (3.5)
PS. Two episodes left :P
