Ted and Marshall were off reliving a college road to get some horrible pizza, the kind of experience that always seems better the further away from it you get.Bringing a third wheel is just asking for trouble -- either there will be a lot of "you should have been here last time," or one of those folks who was there will get wholly ignored. It's a tough balancing act, and Marshall was a disaster at it.
Why would Marshall have thought bringing Lily was a good idea? Why would they have thought that Ted wanted to go to Crumpet Manor, the couple hotel from hell? Why wouldn't they just want to push on as fast and hard as they could to their pizza place, especially after drinking all that Tantrum? That's just not the way you do a road trip.
Sparky kidnapping Marshall was excellent, though. Helen certainly didn't miss him what will all the pampering she was undergoing back at the Crumpet. It's just sad that he spent so much time missing her instead of enjoying the pizza. The moral of the story? Chicago pizza may be delicious, but boy is it unhealthy -- it hurts intestines, it hurts arteries, and it even hurts relationships. Now, if it doesn't kill you, it may make you stronger, but that pizza looked like it could have been deadly, and even if it wasn't, it was artery-clogging.
I'm all for insanity in the show, but what sort of nonsense was this about Robin studying to become a U.S. citizen for a test the next day? Let's ignore the fact that it takes oh-so-much more than just a test and you can't decide to take the test one day before it's being administered. Let's just move on to the fact that the show didn't opt for the usual fake marriage thing.
Robin not being able to fully eliminate the Canadian from herself was probably also a good call ... especially since it led to Barney finding her on the floor of a room in Toronto surrounded by hockey gear the next morning. Barney must love that girl in order to actually follow her to the Great White North. Getting the stuffing kicked out of him, however, was just stupid. He should have known that Canadians can fight; after all, that's what hockey is all about.
