It was New Year's Eve of 2005, and Ted is determined to make this New Year's Eve a memorable one after several years of letdown: He rents a Limousine (driven by Ranjit, which he paid for using half of his Christmas bonus) for him and the gang, planning on skimming through five parties in three hours to find the best place to welcome the new year. Before they are to hit the road, however, Robin bails out of the gang at the last second, as she was planning to spend the New Year with her boyfriend Derek. Ted is a bit disappointed, but Barney uplifts the mood with his "Psyched Up" mixtape, which has Bon Jovi's "You Give Love A Bad Name" as its opening track.

At the first party, Ted bumps into Mary Beth, his coworker who flirts with him, while Barney hooks up with a foreigner named Natalya. After the second party, they saw Music/{{Moby}} walking outside, and they invite him to hitch along with them. It turns out, however, that he was just a lookalike, his real name is Eric, and he spent the rest of his time in the Limo taking crazy and brandishing his handgun, which he calls "Janice." As they drop Moby off his party, however, he swipes Barney's mixtape. Without music to pscyh them up, Ted and Robin decides to sing the opening bars of "You Give Love a Bad Name." Mary Beth notices that Ted only has eyes for Robin, and she decides to leave.

As they were about to toast, however, Derek appears, saying that he hastened to finish his work so he can be with Robin for the New Year. Seeing that all of his friends are paired up while he was all alone, Ted leaves the Limousine and heads out home. However, Robin goes after Ted, reminding him that she has not forgotten their deal. Surprised, Ted asks her why she left Derek for a moment, but she reasons out that "he can wait a little longer; after all, he made me wait all evening," and they share a New Year's Kiss.
