In the second season of How I Met Your Mother, episode 3 is titled "Brunch." The plot follows the group of friends as they attend a brunch hosted by Ted’s parents. Ted is eager to impress his old high school friend, Hammond Druthers, who is an architect. Hammond is a grumpy, blunt, and demanding boss, and Ted hopes that impressing him will help him get a raise at work.

Barney also attends the brunch and is determined to hook up with Ted’s mom, Virginia. He believes that if he can successfully date her, he will have bragging rights and elevate his ranking in the group. Lily and Marshall are dealing with relationship issues of their own. They have a fight over Marshall's desire to become a lawyer and Lily’s fear that he will change and become a different person.

The episode is filled with conflicts and awkward moments. Ted’s parents pressure him to settle down and find a wife, which triggers a series of uncomfortable conversations between him and his friends. Ted tries to impress Hammond by showing him pictures of his work, but Hammond critiques everything and makes Ted feel insecure. Meanwhile, Barney tries to flirt with Virginia, but she rebuffs his advances and makes fun of him.

Lily and Marshall’s issues come to a head when they have a heated argument at the table. Marshall feels hurt and rejected by Lily’s lack of support for his dream, and Lily feels like Marshall is changing too much. At one point, Lily even throws a plate of pancakes at Marshall.

Throughout the episode, various other characters make appearances and heighten the tension. Robin shows up and is surprised to see how much Ted’s parents like her. Ted’s sister, Heather, also drops in unexpectedly and makes things even more awkward. The group eventually leaves the brunch and heads to MacLaren’s Pub to debrief and discuss the events of the day.

Overall, "Brunch" is a funny and dramatic episode that explores the different relationships within the group. It showcases how the characters interact with each other and how they handle conflicts.
