Marshall falls in love with the apartment in Dowisetrepla, imagining himself playing drums in a band with his future sons. Lily feels guilty because of the huge credit card debt
she hides from Marshall, but still imagines herself painting with two daughters and eventually ends up saying that she loves the apartment, despite Robin persisting that Lily tell Marshall the truth.
The next day, Lily and Marshall apply for a
cell phone, which Lily would have called to apologize and make up. They instead hear the receptionist of a divorce lawyer

Lily explains to Marshall that she had the idea of divorcing Marshall so he would not be dragged down by her debt, but Marshall remarks that by marrying Lily, he married all her problems, too, and chooses to stand by her. Finally, they exclaim to the others that they bought the apartment.
The next day, Lily and Marshall take a taxi to their new home, but as they step out of the cab, they smell an extremely strong stench. The cab driver reveals that the area is near the
