How I Met Your Mother Episode Recap: "Slapsgiving 2: Revenge of the Slap"

We've got so much going on in this week's episode! First, Marshall bequeaths the fourth slap (!) to Ted and Robin. They're psyched about it...until it's time to decide who actually gets to do the slapping. Meanwhile, Lily has daddy issues and Marshall acts completely inappropriately, which leads to Lily's estranged father (Chris Elliott) to show up at their door on Thanksgiving Day. There's a lot to talk about here, so let's get to it!

First of all, my apologies for the lack of a recap last week. I was in sunny Florida all week and didn't get a chance to watch the episode until Saturday. (Which also meant that I missed all of the Internet craziness sparked by "Lorenzo von Matterhorn." Wikipedia, you're no fun anymore.) It was a great episode, though, and I hope you all enjoyed it as much as I did.

Moving on to this week...

Premise: A man named Ted tells his kids how he met the love of his life, through flashbacks, years in the future. The bored kids sit on the couch and listen as dad regales them with tales of his pursuit of romance. The sitcom's secondary character, Ted's smarmy friend, Barney, is a real standout, often stealing the show.
