Tiffany is on Jack's hook; Ted is on Tiffany's hook; Henrietta is on Ted's hook, and some guy with a giant smile is on Henrietta's hook; Scooter is on LIly's hook; Mike is on Robin's hook (they never mention Simon) and it all works for laughs. Barney is obsessed with Pharma-girls which is a decent B Plot. Also, a list of Steve's celebrity encounters.

Barney advertises his number at the Superbowl creating a drug-like addiction to finding the next hot girl. The gang has a hilarious fight over whether a rabbit or duck is better.....Robin gets a chance to find out which one of those represents Don.

In a baseball metaphor heavy episode, Barney tries to have a perfect week bedding women to distract himself from problems at work. Ted alienates a girl in his class, Robin stings from being rejected by a dork and Marshall and Lily's personal hygiene freak people out.

A TOP EPISODE OF HIMYM!!! As Marshall retells adventurous stories of Jenkins, his new coworker, most of the gang assumes it's a man but then find out Jenkins is a woman (Amanda Peet). Marshall and Lily fight over which one of them is the reacher and which the settler. Ted and Robin fight over who is more popular with his class.

Barney has to choose between his suits and the new hot female bartender at McClarrens. But really he doesn't....although we do get a pretty good song and dance sequence out of it. Ted dates Rachel Bilsen's Cindy which gives him and us the first glimpse of The Mother's ankle.

We get an amazing combination of story lines including the return of Artillery Arthur, the introduction of Don the newscaster and Lily's smoking voice.

Ted's dream girl from college is single again and he strives to land her this time....sort of. Barney strives to pick up a girl wearing overalls. Marshall gets mopey again that he's a disappointment to younger idealistic Marshall.
