Ron Nicolosi

Robin is excited to hear that she'll be working with legendary newsman Don Frank, but is soon disappointed to find out that he isn't as professional as she thought he'd be, and seems set on taking Robin down with him.

Marshall and Lily go to Atlantic City to elope, but are held up by the necessary three-day wait for a marriage licence.

When Robin confesses she is still angry with Barney, she enlists the help of a self-help author who plans to beat Barney at his own game.

Ted is humiliated when he sees a woman he's dating out on another date on the night they'd planned to meet up; Marshall is charmed by a man who is smitten with Lily.

When Marshall is mugged, he invents a story about a monkey to make Lily, who wants a gun, less wary.

Barney finds out that Ted and Robin split up two weeks before Marshall and Lily's wedding, but kept it secret so they wouldn't overshadow the event.
