* HereWeGoAgain: Defied: after Barney and Lily's subplot, which suffered from [[UnreliableNarrator Future!Ted's mad memory]] [[MindScrew causing bizarre stuff to happen]], it finally sorted out at the end, we see Ted walk in, wearing a green dress, telling Barney that they were even now. What seems like another case of Future!Ted's bad memory, he immediately clarifies that there ''[[Recap/HowIMetYourMotherS7E21NowWereEven is]]'' an explanation.

* SeriesContinuityError: While Marshall and Robin find it awkward to hang out alone here, they did not have this problem in "[[Recap/HowIMetYourMotherS4E11LittleMinnesota Little Minnesota]]", where they spend several nights having drinks alone together at a Minnesota-themed bar and, later, a Canadian-themed bar. Marshall also claims that he deliberately avoids beinig alone with Robin to prevent her from becoming a "mermaid" in his eyes, which also contradicts that prior episode. The first issue is possibly explained by [[UnreliableNarrator Future!Ted]] misremembering when this happened as well, since he makes this very mistake with [[AnachronicOrder Lily and Barney's fight]] in this episode.

* SheepInSheepsClothing: The Captain, as it turns out. While Ted is convinced that he intends to murder him, and many of the things the Captain says do sound very much like [[ImpliedDeathThreat Implied Death Threats]], Ted turns out to be wrong. The Captain really does just want to be friends with him.
