Synopsis How I Met Your Mother: Season 8, Episode 14 - Ring Up!

Although on the surface they are both happy about their engagement, Robin and Barney contemplate sabotaging that happiness for different reasons. Wearing an engagement ring, Robin eventually comes to the realization that the ring is making her invisible to men, and as such they don't lavish her with gifts as they used to do. She has to decide whether the ring or the free gifts and attention are more important. And although Barney says he is disgusted by Ted dating twenty year old Carly with who he only has a mutual physical attraction in common (she who is into "old" guys), Barney needs Ted to sleep with her if only to live through Ted vicariously. Ted, however, is thinking of breaking up with Carly without ever having slept with her unless he can find something, anything, as a common emotional ground between the two of them. Barney's need for Ted to do this act may be affected by beautiful Carly herself. And Marshall is sporting a new look as it is turning Lily's crank, but that look...

Review :

Ted is getting old and so does the show...

Ted's desperation for meeting a woman becomes more visible when he is trying to get a 20 years old girl in his arms, Barney is trying to overcome his old addiction, Robin learns lessons about love and Lily-Marshall spice things up to get out of the couple with a baby routine. There were 3 different perspectives over love in this episode from one night stand to fresh engaged couple and routine. Few thing to be learned, some gigs, overall good performances, a musical moment, not the best episode from this season, but not the worst one either. As Ted is starting to feel a bit old by getting involved with a 20 years old so does the show. There is no more of the spark from the antecedent seasons, but in a way this helps the show to move forward and I'm looking forward for an improvement on the next episode.
