Robin is excited to hear that she'll be working with legendary newsman Don Frank, but is soon disappointed to find out that he isn't as professional as she thought he'd be, and seems set on taking Robin down with him.

Ted is humiliated when he sees a woman he's dating out on another date on the night they'd planned to meet up; Marshall is charmed by a man who is smitten with Lily.

When Robin confesses she is still angry with Barney, she enlists the help of a self-help author who plans to beat Barney at his own game.

When Zoey enrols in Ted's class, she tries to convince his students to help save the building from being torn down for his project; Marshall and Lily notice Robin marching in the Halloween parade of shame.
