- Non-Indicative Title: Something of a rarity for this show, which often likes the Double-Meaning Title, the episode title doesn't really seem to relate to either of the storylines. Given the show's common story elements, it seems to invoke the idea of Barney suffering a bout of erectile dysfunction (which would indeed be a crisis of Stinson's missile), but nothing like that occurs. It's a play on the Cuban Missile Crisis, but there's no tense standoff between rivals over a proxy, unless you count either Robin's one-sided fight with Nora over Barney, or Ted and Lily both trying to influence Marshall.
