"The Over-Correction" is the tenth episode of the eighth season of the CBS sitcom ''How I Met Your Mother'', and the 170th episode overall. == Plot == Robin, Marshall, Lily, and Ted are trapped in different closets. Future Ted narrates how things came to be. A week earlier at MacLaren's, Marshall and Lily tell Ted and Robin that Marshall's mother Judy is staying at their apartment. Judy later tells Lily that having gotten over the death of her husband, she is finally ready to date again. However, to Marshall's horror, she hooks up with Lily's father Mickey. Disgusted at the sight, Marshall seeks refuge in a closet. Noting Robin's frustrations over Patrice and Barney dating, the gang claims that Barney has "over-corrected" (going for the direct opposite of someone they broke up with). Robin says that Barney is just using Patrice to compensate for not trying to pursue her. Still in love with Barney, she tries to convince Patrice of his real intentions, but when it fails, she breaks into his apartment to steal a copy of the Playbook and show it to her. While trying to find it, she scrambles to hide in Barney's bedroom closet just as he arrives home. Desperate to slip out, she calls up Ted and asks him to distract Barney long enough for her to escape. Ted, who is already angry at the gang for failing to return anything they borrowed from him over the years, reluctantly helps out as Robin finally uncovers the Playbook. When Barney does return to the apartment to wait for Patrice in setting up a Christmas tree (with Ted's ornaments), Robin and Ted hide. Robin calls up Lily for help only to discover she is in a nearby closet; Lily needed a place to safely use her breastpumps after discovering that her father tried it out on himself. Robin leaves the Playbook on the bed for Patrice to see. While Patrice and Barney argue at the terrace, Robin, Lily, and Ted hide in another closet - just in time to see Barney confess to Patrice that he wants to change, starting by burning the Playbook. When they leave, Ted gets back his red cowboy boots and a label maker. He also declares to never again lend the gang anything because they do not respect him. Lily returns to the apartment, only to vomit after learning from Marshall about their parents hooking up. Barney later consoles them at the bar, saying that people can change. Still not convinced about Barney and Patrice, Robin asks Marshall, Lily, and Ted to hold an intervention for Barney - but the three hold it instead for her. Lily and Marshall tell Mickey and Judy that it's okay for them to date, but when the parents admit just wanting to have sex, Marshall and Lily throw up into Ted's mini-cooler. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Over-Correction」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
