As Lily goes into labour Robin and Ted arriving, attempting to calm her down, as Ted yells don't panic. She is stressing out that Marshall is not there, and Ted and Robin both have peculiar ways in which to try and sooth Lily. Robin, offers her sugar cubes, and Ted unveils his kick-ass labour announcement video e-mail. Lily says all she needs is a distraction, and they proceed to tell her short stories of memories they've shared.
In Atlantic City, Barney and Marshall are stranded at a casino. They are unable to get a taxi to the train station because of the big event their that weekend, and the valet long is four hours long. Barney comes up with a plan to win a motorcycle and drive out of there. When the plans fails, he takes the motorcycle and just to ride out of the casino anyway before been caught by security. Left alone, a drunk Marshall has a hilarious journey trying to claim two steps and has a fight with an ATM machine. Barney returns and they find a buss heading back to New York with two spares seats. Unfortunately the bus is going to Buffalo and the driver refuses to stop unless there is an emergency.
While i was a little annoyed that Marshall got to the hospital, I loved how all the old people on the bus claimed they were having heart-attacks in order for Marshall to stop at the hospital.
Marshall arrives in time for the birth of Marvin Waitforit Erickson.
It the waiting room, the stories Ted and Robin have shared will Lily have brought them closer together than they've been in a long time and they agree to stop avoiding each other and be friends.
Was it really appropriate for Ted, Robin and Barney to make jokes about Marvin's name so soon after the birth? Yes, everything they said was true, but have some tact guys.
Ted starts getting clucky and tells Robin he wants a family, to which she candidly responds that while Ted says he's always looking for 'The One', he constantly chases women who are unable to fulfil his family dreams. Robin suggests he calls Victoria, the only woman he's dated who could have been 'The One'.
Barney returns home to Quinn, uncertain of what he will find. She's still their, although she's had his apartment redecorated. It is now pink and contains numerous large plush Hello Kitty toys and lots and lots of flowers. Barney doesn't care, and thanks god that she is still there.
Back at the apartment Ted tells the others he meet a girl on the train and he doesn't know what to text her. Lily and Marshall, now responsible for another human being, tell Ted he can't always come to them with his minute problems. Robin scolds Ted for not trying to see what Victoria is doing. Later he calls her, and she agrees to meet him at MacLarens.
Meanwhile, Barney and Quinn are off to Hawaii for their first getaway as a couple. They are stopped at security and they ask Barney to open his luggage. Inside is a mysterious box. The officers ask Barney to open it, but he says he can't because it's a magic trick and he can;t break the magicians code. Oh god... Quinn asks him why he was taking a magic trick on their romantic holiday and he tells her he was planning to shot up to Honolulu for the world wide magic convention.
At MacLarens Victoria arrives in a wedding dress. She tells him that she had previously thought about leaving her fiance Klaus for Ted, if it wasn't for Robin. Ted tells her that she has moved out and that their relationship is over. Victoria says she got a car, and is willing to drive off into the sunset with him, if he hasn't closed the door on their relationship.
Back at the airport, Barney agrees to tell the magic trick to one of the officer's because he is a magician. The officer is impressed, but when Barney magics his way out of a pair of handcuffs that have been placed on him, another officer tases him.
Ted calls Robin when Victoria goes to the bathroom, and Robin, Lily and Marshall meet him at the bar to help him decide what to do. Robin tells him to go for it, but Lily is concerned that Victoria might just be having pre-wedding jitters and will regret her decision later on. They flee when Victoria comes out of the bathroom, and Ted agrees to go with her.
In a holding room at the airport an officer comes to take Barney and Quinn's details. Quinn tells him she is unemployed, revealing to Barney that she quit her job as a stripper for him, and asks him because of what she's done for him if he could please show the officer the magic trick. He refuses.
In the car with Victoria, Ted tells her he's taking her back to her wedding. He tells her that while be would be willing to get back together, that he's been left at the altar before, and that the right thing to do is for her to go to her wedding.
The officer tells Quinn she is free to go, and she almost does, but Barney agrees to show them the trick. After a silly an elaborate performance, the trick produces an engagement ring, and Quinn agrees to marry him.
Barney and Quinn arrive at Lily and Marshall's to reveal their engagement. Robin tells Barney she's really happy for him.
Meanwhile, Ted passes by the church Victoria is meant to be having her wedding at, and they drive into the sunset.
A little while down the road, as the subtitle states, Ted as one of Barney's groomsmen, goes to meet with the bride before the wedding, Robin.
