Synopsis

• Ted and Robin's roommate situation wasn't quite working out. Ted wanted to get some cereal, only Robin finished the milk and left the empty carton in the fridge because the trash was full. She didn't accept the trash out because she was eating cereal.

  They argued over their issues and realized they didn't fight when they were dating because they were having sexual practice. They figured sex was the central to resolving any disputes, a theory Barney one time offered as a way of bringing about world peace. Cut to Barney explaining his theory to Ted, in which every international conflict could be resolved with sex:

  The Middle East? "Gaza Strippers," Barney said.

  Apartheid? "Apart thighs... next!"

  The Cold State of war? "Mrs. Gorbechev, take down those pants," Barney offered.

  Ted suggested they just "beginning having sexual practice, then." "Yeah, correct," Robin said. Cut to Robin and Ted laying in bed together, fresh off of doing the act. "Merely like riding a bike, huh, ol' buddy?" Robin said. Ted didn't want to tell anyone about it. "Deal?" he asked. "Deal," Robin said. "Deal," said Marshall, who was suddenly standing in the doorway and slipped abroad.

  Marshall was giving Ted and Robin a hard time almost hooking upwards, proverb the situation wouldn't end well for anyone, when they asked Marshall why he was at the apartment in the first identify. Marshall said he had to stop by to "read a mag" in their bathroom. Marshall said he couldn't "read a magazine" at work because if you lot out of your office with a magazine in manus, it tells everyone what you're well-nigh to do. Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag -- on the cover of Marshall's mag -- provided the proclamation that Marshall nigh to "read a large ol' mag in the bathroom that y'all all share with him!"

  Marshall said that stretch of hallway betwixt his part and the bathroom is similar a gauntlet of judging eyes. Robin said it wasn't OK for Marshall to "read a mag" in their flat, and asked him to hand over his keys to the place. He refused, citing the deal that had been struck about all of them keeping placidity near their indiscretion.

  Cut to Lily at the bar, saying, "You 2 hooked up?" Robin reached out her hand and Marshall gave up the primal. Barney was clearly disturbed by the news. Lily said that when 2 exes attempt to be casual, someone always ends upwards getting hurt. Old Marshall's voiceover said information technology turned out Lily was right. Just we'd get to that later.

  They told Barney the whole idea came out of his theory near earth peace. "Peace was achieved," Robin said, "repeatedly." She and Ted high-fived. LIly checked to make sure Barney was OK. He excused himself, went out to the alley backside the bar, picked up a Boob tube out of the dumpster and slammed it on the ground.

  Robin said it was a individual thing and they wouldn't exist talking well-nigh this anyway if Marshall could "read a mag" at work. Lily recalled a story about Marshall checking in a motel room during law school so he could "read a mag." She'd gotten upset by finding a motel room accuse on their credit card and asked, "Who is she?" "Burrito," Marshall replied. "Carnitas Burrito."

  Marshall said nobody likes to "read a magazine" at work "and if they say that they practice, and so they're not human." Barney said he reads a magazine every solar day at piece of work, "it's something I've gotta exercise," he explained. So he stopped and asked, "'Reading a magazine' means masturbating, correct?"

  Later at the bar, Ted told Barney more than about the perfect arrangement, giving several examples of their sex activity program in activeness. Barney smashed another Television set every time, until he'd smashed every TV in the alley. He went to an electronics store to buy a TV -- just so he could nail it.

  Marshall struggled with the need to "read a magazine" at work again when he overheard that the visitor laid off anybody on the 8th floor. He went straight at that place, came face to confront with a bathroom that would be all his ain.

  Ted was heading off to work and he and Robin congratulated each other on their previous night'due south events. Ted gave her a kiss on his way out the door. After he walked out, Robin said, "Uh oh." Ted, then, stood in the hallway just outside their door and said, "uh oh."

  At the bar, Ted explained to Marshall and Barney that "Robin let the pizza box on the floor, so we had sex three times." So he told them about the osculation. They agreed information technology was weird and Marshall asked if he had feelings for her. "Yes, I'm in beloved with her," Barney said, before catching himself and adding, "is what you ... that's you, dude." Ted was worried he blew it.

  Robin, meanwhile, was telling Lily it was weird. Barney suggested to Ted they stop sleeping together. Robin was thinking the aforementioned matter. They then agreed to finish information technology. And so Ted found an empty milk carton in the fridge and the whole cycle started again: They had sex, vowed to tell no one, Marshall was there, Lily got upset with them, Barney bought a TV and smashed information technology. "And then, that didn't final long," Ted said.

  Robin asked Marshall why he was back in the flat "reading a magazine." He gave the story most the construction crew coming through and taking out walls on the floor he'd had to himself. They smashed through the bath wall while he was reading his magazine.

  Ted got home to the apartment to find that Barney was cleaning everything to help them avert their fights. Barney had stocked the fridge with milk and even bought them a dishwasher. Ted asked Barney if he's in dear with Robin.

  Barney denied it. Ted said his matter with Robin is totally coincidental and promised he wouldn't freak out if Barney admitted he was in love with Robin. Barney didn't spill anything and left. He showed up in Lily's Kindergarten grade and told everything to her students, because it was sharing time and he had the share bear. Lily asked him to leave.

  Back at the office, Marshall told Barney he'd overcome his issues with "reading a magazine" at work and just did it, and his co-workers no longer judged him considering he strode to the bath with confidence. Kim Kardashian, on his magazine cover, praised him for his bravery. Barney was inspired past Marshall's bold motion, said he had to go and said, "Oh, by the way, I have a bathroom here (in his role), if you ever want to use it."

  Barney showed up at the apartment to make his declaration and shouted, "Ted, I love..." That'due south when he saw Robin and finished his statement with, "... tacos!" Robin told Barney that Ted had left and that their "arrangement" was over. She said Ted couldn't do it anymore because he was afraid someone might get injure. Barney thought about it for a moment when Robin asked him if he wanted to go get tacos. They left.
