Tim Gunn is out of the poker game so nothing good is going to happen. Lily is pissed at Ted because he never gave her a wedding gift. Marshall tried dropping hints months later, but Ted never picked up what he was putting down. A year and a half later, Ted got engaged (which is news to me), and Marshall buys him a gift wrapping station as the ultimate hint. In return, Ted sends Marshall and Lily a thank-you note in a giant, elaborately wrapped present. Anyway, Ted is getting Barney and Robin three wedding gifts, and it’s driving Lily and Marshall crazy.

Turns out Ted did give Marshall and Lily a wedding gift (a coffee maker), and they never sent him a thank-you note. Hence the oversized thank-you note for the gift wrap station. Marshall is determined to make it right. But Ted really didn’t send them the coffee maker—Stuart and Claudia did—and now Ted has to make it right. But Robin was with Ted when he got the coffee maker, so Lily confronts Stuart who confesses to writing his name on Ted’s nametag.

Robin wins James’s lightly used wedding ring in the poker match to prove some point about how marriage isn’t crap. When Barney gives James his ring back, he realizes that being married means being part of a team blah blah blah, and Barney semi-disowned his brother. And his mother. And blamed it on Robin.

To make up for the lack of a wedding gift, Ted had a pizza delivered to Marshall on the highway. And Marshall sent Ted a thank-you note four months later.

Next week, Barney and Robin steal Lily and Marshall’s story about how they met.
