One Paragraph Synopsis: Barney is ready for the rest of the gang to meet Quinn, but first, he talks to Ted to convince him to not tell the others that she's a stripper, and how she made him lose a lot of money. He does instantly, as they begin to interrogate her, while she gets Ted and Robin to fight about her apartment, as Quinn is moving in with Barney. An intervention brings this to the center, when it seems like Barney does, in fact, mind that he's dating a stripper, as they break up. When the gang make things up to Barney, he and Quinn then reveal to them that they were playing the group the whole time, just to watch them burn. As Barney himself likes to do. And Robin decides to allow for Ted to move into Quinn's apartment, as her co-anchor position at work, and subsequent raise, allows for her to find a better place.
Really funny stuff, but if I have a problem with it, the explanation of Barney and Quinn's scheme in the last act was a little too on the nose. But the previous group broath was too humorous to not make up for it.
The ending's bit of foreshadowing is interesting, though. It makes it seem likely that Quinn is Barney's wife, but hopefully Quinn's stripper job will stop being a detriment to Barney. There's no reason that she should have to quit for his benefit. They seem to work pretty well though, at least for now.
