Ted tries to make New Year's Eve great by getting a limo. The gang drives around searching for the best party to go celebrate New Year's at. Robin initially leaves to go spend New Year's with her boyfriend Derek, but eventually rejoins the gang when Derek stands her up. Ted brings a girl from work named Marybeth along, but she leaves after realizing Ted is into Robin. Barney meanwhile finds a Russian girl to bring along to kiss at midnight. As the gang continues to search for the perfect party they run into a bald guy they assume is Moby, but he ends up being a crazy gun totion weirdo who is definitely not Moby.
Marshall and Lily both leave the limo, only to be reunited right before midnight to share their kiss.. Derek also meets up with the gang, but Robin shares her midnight kiss with Ted instead.
Notes
Ranjit reappears in this episode, marking the first of many returns to the series. Ted and Robin have their second kiss, and Ted is now fully back into Robin as part of Phase Three. Ted notes that 2006 was a big year for him, and having seen the rest of Season 1 and Season 2, it certainly was. Ted's going to have some dramatic romances this year, and his career is going to undergo a dramatic change as well.
Review
Great episode, and I espescially enjoyed the music. You Give Love a Bad Name plays many many times, as part of Barney's Get Psyched mix. The mission to have a fun time on New Year's Eve is definitely relatable, as New Years is one of the most overhyped holidays. Marshall and Lily getting seperated provided this episode with some great drama, even though it wasn't a really dramatic event. Overall this episode was just a lot of fun. I love seeing Ranjit again, and Barney provided good comic relief while everyone else gave the episode some light hearted drama. I recomend watching this episode every New Years.
Ranking
