Ted's friends discourage him from going on a date with his tattoo removal doctor because they warn that if it doesn't go well, he'll still have to see her in everyday life. Elsewhere, Barney tells his friends about his `Platinum Rule' in an effort to convince Ted to cancel the date.

Lily and Marshall tire of Ted's intrusion on their personal space and look for a new flat, and Marshall is delighted when he falls in love with the first flat he sees. Lily can't share in Marshall's joy because she knows they won't be able to afford it because of her hefty credit card bills.

Ted prepares to move to New Jersey. He also argues with Marshall over an outstanding bill for the flat, the gang recount their many interventions on each other throughout the years and Barney poses as an old man.

Ted's views on life and love change when he re-evaluates a shirt he previously disliked. Meanwhile, Barney offers Robin money to say outlandish things live on air.

Ted and Barney get involved in a fight at their local bar to experience one and impress Robin respectively. Their friend Doug does all the fighting, but allows Barney and Ted to take credit in the fight.
