One Paragraph Synopsis: Barney still can't get Quinn out of his mind, but can't get the nerve to find her again- until he discovers that she's Karma, one of the top strippers at his favorite club. While Barney has doubts about dating a stripper, he and Quinn really seem to hit it off anyway- at least that's what he thinks, as Karma shows off some of her good moves on him. Ted lets Barney in on how he's being played, which he does realize after a while. The episode ends with the two meeting for coffee, away from the club. Meanwhile, Robin briefly moves in with Lily and Marshall as she tries to find her own place, but their increasing dissatisfaction with suburban life has them try to keep Robin close by, as much as she hates Long Island. Before long, no one has to stay in Long Island though, since Ted gives up his part of the apartment's lease for Marshall and Lily to stay in.
I wasn't sure how to feel about this one at first. It wasn't too funny, and I'm not crazy about Barney's hypocritical doubts about dating a stripper. But it picked up after a little, and allows for some good moments near the end.
I was more impressed with Marshall and Lily's stuff though, especially Ted's letter at the end. It was a big moment for him, so he can allow himself to move on. It will also help to keep the gang close, just as Lily and Marshall can easily adapt to raising a kid in Manhattan. I don't feel like saying much more, but Robin's narration was pretty funny, too.
