[edit] Plot

Ted is trying to deal with his former boss Hamond Druthers, but when he can't he decides to fire him. Meanwhile Marshall is tormented by the picture Lily painted of him posing nude.

Barney begs Lily to paint him for a sum of $5000 to pay for the honeymoon. Marshall finds a more expensive castle in Scotland to stay at and tricks Barney into paying another $5000 by pretending to yell at Lily that she could not paint another nude male. Barney is upset with the painting as Lily gave him the "Ken Doll" not painting his genitals.
