This week's episode was a special Valentine’s Day
episode. I have seen every episode to
date and never once in the series have they done a Valentine’s Day episode.
It is probably because Ted is never in a relationship long enough to have
an episode with him and one of his significant others’ on Valentine’s Day.
Aside from noting how funny and pathetic Ted's love life has been
recently, Future Ted recalls to his kids about his experience with the “Drunk
Train.” This episode starts off with the
gang at the bar; Marshall and Lilly have to leave to go back to Long Island because
they do not want to catch the last train back.
This train is known as the “Drunk Train.” In desperation of trying something new, Ted and
Barney tryout the drunk train to help their chances of
meeting women. After a couple of
attempts at it on the train, they have the chance to score but Barney is unsure
of himself because he likes this girl he recently met, named Quinn (guest Star,
Becki Newton). Meanwhile, couples,
Marshall and Lilly, and Robin and Kevin (reoccurring guest star, Kal Penn) go
on a couple’s weekend. Marshall and
Lilly contemplate about keeping score as a couple. Ultimately, when
they return home they decide as impending parents that they should work
together as a team and no longer keep score. While, Marshall and Lilly deal with
their own issues in their relationship, Kevin wants to go further in his with
Robin. Kevin decides to pop the question,
which forces Robin to tell the secret she has been hiding from everyone the
last couple of months. At the end of the
episode, Future Ted tells his kids, “Sometimes you realize the journey you have
been taking has reached its final stop.
So the question becomes, where do you go next?” That is the best way to say the life lesson
in this week’s episode. I believe there
really is no better way to put it. Relating
to this episode, I know from the experiences in my life that sometimes we never
know where to go next really, but we always have choices of where or how to
move forward despite how unpromising the future looks. I do not know about you all, but I am really
looking forward to next week’s episode because it will be interesting to see
how this turning point unfolds. Till’ next week.
