John Lithgow returns to How I Met Your Mother! This is so epic, I have to go back to my old recapping style!
We start on my home borough, Staten Island, in 1983. John Lithgow in a wig and clothes that the 70’s would like returned talks to a young Barney. He tells the kid that Loretta doesn’t want John hanging around Barney anymore. Barney is upset but John leaves him with some parting words—a magician’s best friend is a drunk audience and to never stop partying. Future!Ted says that young Barney watched his father walk out of his life and in 2011, he walked away from John.

Mind the Gap
I’ll eventually recap “Barney’s Heart”. Unfortunately, I have to wait until CBS reruns the episode. So, for now, we’re moving on!
The gang visits Ted’s house. You remember, the one he bought after his mother remarried. Since this is a fixer-upper, it’s nice to see that Ted is actively working on getting it repaired. Barney suggests that Ted install a stripper pole in the backyard. Ted, of course, shoots it down. The gang gets Barney out on to the patio where their intervention sign hung over the doors. Barney is happy to see it and thinks the intervention is about Ted buying the house. But the intervention is for Barney.
And the reason why starts a few days prior.
