How I Met Your Mother returned last night with its fifth season and it was an entire episode devote to Barney and Robin fans.  Lily spent the episode trying to convince television's most awesome couple to finally define their relationship.

Meanwhile, in mother news, it was Ted's first day teaching at class and he did confirm that mother was in that classroom.  Now was it the econ classroom he randomly wandered into when he said it or his actual architecture 101?  Oh HIMYM, you're so tricky.

So was the episode?   Amazing.  Between the Indiana Jones professor references to Barney's speech on how the rules of gremlins apply to avoid making a girl a girlfriend, the episode had enough jokes to keep it funny while enough Barman and Robin moments to make you smile.

Read our "Definitions" recap to try and catch anything you missed.  Now for some of our favorite How I Met Your Mother quotes from the episode.
