Plot
At the beginning of the episode,
Ted and Margaret begin to develop a connection, since they are both fascinated by theatre. Margaret gives Ted some acting tips, after he reveals becoming an actor has always been a secret ambition of his. After dinner, Ted is caught kissing Margaret, and Barney is forced to confront him in front of his mother, with Grant doing a tearful and moving performance of a kid who does not want his parents to divorce. However, the tables are turned when Ted starts using Margaret's acting tips to improvise a story that Barney long ago stole his fiancée. Robin later congratulates Grant on his passionate performance and he assures her that she will find some passion in her new job. She is appreciative but is left horrified when he tries to kiss her.
Barney then finally tells his mother the truth, and she is relieved because she admits she hates Margaret and Grant, particularly Grant's
