3	Lily moves into Barney's apartment. Marshall starts hanging out with his recently single friend Brad, but begins to worry that Brad is getting too into him.

5	----
6	!!This episode provides examples of:
7
8	* BedmateReveal: Lily in Barney's bed. No, they didn't do it. Provides the page image.
9	* {{Bromance}}: Marshall's friendship with his newly single friend, Brad. They start doing all the things they miss being able to do as part of a couple (brunch, Broadway plays)... but then it starts to get weird.
10	* ByWallThatIsHoley: Lily trying to pull out her Murphy bed destroyed the wall much to her Lithuanian neighbor's agitation.
11	* CallBack: Looks like Lily got the second apartment from the second episode of the season.
12	* DoubleMeaningTitle: If Ted and Robin counts, this is also the premise for Marshall and Brad in their blatant HoYay {{Bromance}} and Barney and Lily pretending as a married couple.
13	* Franks2000InchTV: Barney has two in his apartment. They are so big that Lily initially thinks he doesn't own a television, as she has mistaken them for ''the wall''.
14	* InsaneTrollLogic:
15	** Merging two everyday things together makes it feminine. Like breakfast + lunch = brunch, or horse + horn = unicorn.
16	** Barney's logic that him letting Lily change his apartment, staying in with her on a Friday night to watch Letterman, and falling asleep in bed with her without them having sex means that they're in a relationship.
17	* TheMakeover: Lily womanning up Barney's apartment.
18	* PornStash: Barney's apartment, and in full display. With professionally done lighting effects.
19	* PlatonicLifePartners: Barney and Lily get into this arrangement, with her moving in and basically being a couple but without the romance or sex.
20	* StepfordSmiler: Lily tries very hard to seem excited about her new apartment.
21	* TheThingThatWouldNotLeave: This almost happened to Barney after some chick wanted to stay indefinitely in his apartment despite his attempts to tell her that it's just a one night stand and she's in a bachelor pad with an open porn collection. She only left when she thought Lily was his wife.
22	* WhatExactlyIsHisJob: The first time Lily asks this. When she was amazed on how Barney got his wall-sized plasma TV, which he got from a Japanese contractor, she asks this trope. Barney's response:
23	-->'''Barney''': Heh, ''please''!
