==Plot== |
|||
After being absent from the group for a while, Barney summons Ted to his apartment to administer "The Bro-Oath" or "Broath," swearing him to secrecy about what Quinn does for a living. Although Ted agrees to keep the secret, he immediately tells the rest of the group, who are worried Quinn is simply using Barney (as she did when he was her customer at the Lusty Leopard). Following an evening at Quinn's apartment during which Quinn insults Barney and orders him around, Lily tells the gang they need to break up Barney and Quinn after learning of their plan to move in together. They stage an Intervention, or, as Marshall calls it, a "Quinn-tervention". Quinn walks in and breaks up with Barney, saying if he has to lie about her job, she can't be with him. When the gang goes to Barney's apartment to apologize, he swears them all to a Broath not to interfere with his life "unless it is a matter of health, national security or [he is] about to get up on a fattie." After getting both Lily & Robin and Marshall & Ted to kiss, Quinn reveals it to be an elaborate hoax she cooked up with Barney to keep the gang from judging her. |

In the sub-plot, [[Robin Scherbatsky|Robin]] and [[Ted Mosby|Ted]], both of whom are recently homeless since Robin left and Ted handed over his apartment's lease to Marshall and Lily, fight over who deserves to sublet Quinn's apartment when they learn she plans on moving in with [[Barney Stinson|Barney]]. Both feel like they deserve Quinn's apartment in light of their own recent respective struggles and heartbreaks. In an argument regarding who deserves the apartment more, Robin reveals to Ted that on top of her struggles, she suspects that she's likely to be fired on the upcoming Friday at a meeting with her boss. Following Robin's meeting, Robin and Ted regroup at MacLaren's. Contrary to her suspicions, Robin tells Ted that because of her impressive coverage of the [[New Year's Eve]] ceremony in [[Tailgate (How I Met Your Mother)|Tailgate]] for World Wide News, she has been made a co-anchor. With her new raise, she's going to move into a new apartment on [[Central Park West]], leaving Quinn's apartment for Ted. Future Ted reveals that, after they parted ways at MacLaren's, it was a very long time before he and Robin saw each other again. |
|||
Later, while Barney and Quinn are talking at Barney's apartment, the issue of Quinn being a stripper comes up. Barney initially tells her that he's okay with her stripping for a living, but later implies that he'd eventually like her to stop when he constantly notes that he'd be okay with her switching careers and pressing for what it "hypothetically" would take for Quinn to stop stripping. Quinn responds that "Hypothetically, I would stop stripping if I ever got married". |
