Ted and Barney have a telepathic conversation.Barney then bursts out of Ted's room and proclaims 'Bingo!' The players are the marching band from earlier in the episode, following up on their promise to return the favor.ДЄt the end of the episode, Ted is talking to one of the girls when they wonder where Barney and the other went. Suddenly, airport residents start playing marching band instruments to the tune of Auld Lang Syne, and Marshall emerges to greet Lily. She treks back to the airport, only to find no Marshall. Arriving at the airport an hour early, she encounters Ranjit, and they drive to a local liquor store, only to find that the store only has a keg, 'Supersonic Tonic', instead of a playfully named six-pack. Meanwhile, after realizing she wants to continue the tradition, Lily panics and tries to find some microbrew beer to give to Marshall. Lily's plane has been grounded and will arrive in New York in 2 days (the episode runs Marshall and Lily's stories parallel to imply that they are on the same day). Marshall had ignored the call because he felt that all of their traditions were slipping away and that it was a natural progression of their relationship to let their rituals die. Marshall realizes that that day's lunchtime phone call ritual between himself and Lily had been in a voicemail Lily had left to inform Marshall that her flight was cancelled. They get trapped on the side of the road after a snow plow covers them in snow, but they eventually get to the airport terminal.

First, Marshall gets Robin to drive him to the airport in the midst of the huge snowstorm, arguing with her about the importance of traditions in relationships. The couple had decided to end the tradition, but both soon change their minds. Lily and Marshall reflect on a tradition of Lily bringing a six-pack of beer with her every time she returns from a trip, meeting Marshall at the airport. Barney insists theyВ stick with theВ girls, saying they would give him five in a row on ' party school bingo', a game Barney plays annually with Playboy's published list of top party schools. After being overwhelmed with bartending, and a call from Carl telling them he was returning, Ted and Barney quickly direct the band upstairs to Ted's apartment to continue partying. The girls finally show up, along with their 'band,' which is actually the Arizona Tech Marching Band, filling the bar with dozens of rowdy college students. Barney and Ted beg Carl the bartender to be left in charge of the bar for the rest of the night, as Carl has charity work to attend to. The next night, with a huge snow storm outside, they sit alone at the bar, waiting for the girls. Ted and Barney set up dates with two young women in a band (Barney repeatedly pulling aside Ted to insist that he not be specific in his plans), planning to meet back at MacLaren's the next night.
