Unpause - How I met your mother season 9 episode 15
Sunday 2 AM. 16 hours before the wedding
Marshall tries to delay the inevitable, his worst fight with Lily. Let's do a recap. Marshall and Lily had plans of living in Italy for a year after Robin and Barney's wedding. However a few days before the wedding, Marshall received a phone call regarding his application for Judgeship. The catch is, they needed the answer quick and could not wait for Marshall to return from Italy after a year. Marshall accepted the offer without consulting with Lily first. To delay the talk, Marshall ordered rounds of drinks. Eventually he had to talk to Lily leaving Barney, Robin and Ted in still drinking in the Bar.
They learned that Barney has certain tells if he is drunk. If he starts talking like Jabba the Hutt from Star Wars, he is pretty drunk. But after that, Barney enters a phase of truth serum like drunkenness that answers the questions about Barney that has eluded them for years. Starting with the secret behind Barney's magic trick, to what really happened between him and Ted's mom, to the x-ray machine that Barney claims that works. But the question that they really wanted to be answer is what Barney does for a living.
Over the years always replied the same way when asked about his job, "Please". Please actually stands for Provide LegalExculpation And Sign Everything. Robin and Ted was worried that his job could land him in jail but Barney revealed his plan. Barney tracked down the person named Greg who stole his girlfriend and cause his transformation. After accepting the job, he planned Greg's downfall. Eventually he gave information to the FBI that led to Greg's arrest months after their wedding.
Marshall and Lily then started to discuss Marshall’s acceptance of the Job. They got in a huge fight and Marshall brought up the incident years back when Lily went to San Francisco. He claims that he has to right to be selfish since Lily did that to him years back. Lily then got into a car and left Farhampton.
Marshall and Lily get to a fight that according to future Ted is one of the worst fights that they ever had. This episode reveals a lot of things about Marshall especially how he feels about Lily’s new job and the San Francisco events a few years back. It seems that Marshall has not completely forgiven Lily for leaving him for her dreams. The real question now is where is Lily going and who did she call.
On the lighter side, we finally learn about Barney’s job. It has been a mystery for the last nine seasons what he really does and now that he has told the truth, that is one question crossed out before the series ends. I think it was great that they have somehow brought back Greg and Barney was able to exact his revenge. I never thought that he would eventually make Greg pay for stealing his girlfriend. In fact I completely forgot about him.
