Marshall starts his internship at Barney's office and hates his
coworkers in the legal department. They tease him about Lily making his
lunch and Marshall is uncomfortable with the fictional scenarios that
they construct that make Marshall choose between two women. At the end
of his first day, Marshall is ready to quit, but Barney manipulates him
into staying. Barney convinces Marshall that he would be happier knowing
that he could provide a better life for Lily with a bigger income.
Marshall asks Barney for advice on how to deal with his coworkers, and
Barney suggests behaving more like his coworkers and blending. When
Marshall tells Lily about his plan, Lily doesn't think that it's a good
idea, but Marshall thinks that he can keep his work persona separate
from his real personality. Barney shows Marshall how to act like the
guys at work and Marshall gains their acceptance. Marshall's work
persona begins to bleed over into his home life to Lily's displeasure.
Marshall asks Lily to give his work friends a chance and they go out to a
karaoke bar. Lily is not having a good time and when Marshall accepts a
job offer at Barney's company Lily leaves the table. Lily asks Marshall
when he decided to give up his values. He says that he hasn't abandoned
his values but he wants to make good money for a couple of years so
that he can give Lily a better life. Lily tells him that he can give her
a great life with what he has already. The two make up by performing
their favorite karaoke song on stage.
Meanwhile, Ted struggles with his long distance relationship with Victoria. He feels guilty that Victoria has sent him three care packages and he hasn't sent her any. When he calls to thank her for the most recent care package, he impulsively says that he sent her a care package a few days ago. Ted asks Robin for advice about how to cover up his lie. Robin suggests that he assemble a care package with New York-themed things and top off the package with a New York Times from three days ago. When Victoria calls Ted to thank him for the care package, he accidentally falls asleep on the phone. Feeling guilty and frustrated, Ted plans to fly to Germany to visit Victoria. But when he is buying his ticket, Victoria sends him an email telling him that they need to talk that evening. Ted worries that Victoria is going to break up with him, but Robin reassures him that he is worried for no reason. The phone call from Victoria is four hours late. Future Ted ends the episode by using Bilson's game, and says 'Here's the real question: It's 2 a.m., your friends are still out singing karaoke, but you're home early because you're expecting a call from your girlfriend in Germany who was supposed to call 4 hours ago. And then... the phone rings.' Ted answers it, and Robin asks if he wants to come over. Future Ted then asks 'What do you do? Go.'
