07E08 - The Slutty Pumpkin Returns

Ted, who came across the costume in a costume rental shop and discovered its rental records, finally tracks down the potential woman of his dreams that he met at a Halloween party 10 years ago. He coined that woman the Slutty Pumpkin because of the costume. She is Naomi, and once Ted tracks her down, he finds that she is as beautiful as he remembers and she is as eager to hook up with him as he is with her. But after a decade of anticipation, Ted finds that something isn't quite right with their relationship. He's willing to endure some problems after a whole decade of waiting, but one can only endure so much. How will Naomi feel if and when Ted tells her things aren't working? Meanwhile, Marshall and Lily dread receiving yet another "used" gift from her grandparents (previous gifts included a lawnmower) that they can't use in their city life. But this time, Lily's grandparents offer them their house in the suburbs, as they are moving to Florida. Lily is excited to think of raising their child in the suburbs, but Marshall doesn't want to move to the suburbs and he knows that Lily really doesn't want to either. Robin convinces Marshall that Lily currently has "pregnancy brain", a state in which she shouldn't operate heavy machinery or make important life decisions. Marshall must try to convince her that her current thoughts, including wanting to move into the house, aren't rational. And Robin learns something about Barney that she's more than happy to share with him: he's one-quarter Canadian on his father's side. Barney, who has always mocked Robin for being Canadian, resists his Canadian ancestry with all his might, but will the Canadian force be too much even for patriotic American Barney to handle?
