This episode decides to show Ted's true colors when it comes to pursuing women, which is fine if it leads to a moment of self-understanding and growth. But in this episode when he turns his back on what is right just because he's not interested in the girl anymore, he just sickens me. There was no realization that he pretends to be something he's not for each woman he pursues, just a "Well, she's married, f*** her". He's doing exactly what Barney does. Yeah, Barney wants to just have sex instead of marrying, but it doesn't matter. Their attitudes towards women are similar. At least Barney is open about it. I lost all respect for Ted by the end of this episode, and that's pretty important for me in the series.
