Ted has made a list of things to do before leaving New York before leaving Chicago. When Lily learned about and asked why Ted has informed the Gang he simply said that it would ruin the mood of the wedding. There is only one item on the list that he still has to cross out which to have one last scotch with Barney.
Lily learned that Ted and Marshall were responsible for ruining Lily’s favorite dress. They were sword fighting in the apartment when they accidental sliced the dress. Lily started punished Ted and Marshall. Marshall got the worse of it when she told him to dress up with Wisconsin Packer’s outfit.

Ted has been saving a 30 year old Glen Mckenna for his last scotch with Barney. Later he learned that the contents of that bottle is not the Glen Mckenna but a mixture of Ketchup, dishwashing liquid, water and what is left of the scotch. Lily and Robin broke the bottle while they were sword fighting in Ted and Marshall’s old apartment. When Marshall learned of about it he removed the Packers head gear and called an abomination. Daphne quickly advised him to put it back on as hard core Packers fan were looking at them.

When Ted was finally ready to have scotch with Barney, Barney informed him that he saw Ted and Robin holding hands in the rain while trying to look for the locket. Ted dropped the 30 year old Glen Mckenna that Lily just obtained illegally. 

It seems like Ted and Barney’s friendship or Broship would be strain because of the locket incident. It is quite nostalgic seeing those fencing swords again. We have seen the swords in the previous seasons and Lily asked Ted and Marshall to get rid of them.

The mother is a no show in this episode. I guess we will have to wait for the next episodes to see her again. What do you think of Last time in New York?
