*** This review may contain spoilers ***
This is not one of the best ever episodes of How I Met Your Mother, but definitely the top of the list of season 5. It wasn't the storyline, creative dialog, or a fantastic episode all together, but the ending is the best ending to an episode this season, by far.
The storyline is decent and there are good lines in this episode, but Barney becoming the Barnacle again and prowling on every female in Manhatten again is so relieving. Marshall, Lily, and Ted were all good, but the most important characters in this episode were Robin and Barney and its fantastic to see the show back to its legen- wait for it...-dary self!!
