Ted, Marshall, and Barney are enjoying one of their classic hangout sessions at MacLaren's when they come to the realization that they are all truly in love with their respective significant others. This realization opens up a larger conversation about the definition of love and what it means to be truly "in love".

As the group attempts to define this elusive concept, they each share stories from their own relationships that shed light on their individual perspectives. Marshall recalls his first date with Lily and how he knew immediately that he loved her, while Barney recounts his experience falling in love with Robin.

Ted, however, is forced to confront his own definition of love when he realizes that he may not be in love with his girlfriend at the time, Stella. Throughout the episode, he grapples with the notion that his feelings for her may not be as strong as he originally believed, ultimately leading to a decision that could drastically impact his future.

Meanwhile, Robin is struggling with her own crisis of definition as she attempts to define her future career path. As she interviews for an anchor position in Chicago, she is forced to grapple with the realization that her true passion may lie in a completely different career field.

As the group navigates these individual crises of definition, they ultimately come to the realization that love and career paths are not necessarily defined by strict guidelines or rules. Instead, they ultimately must define these concepts for themselves based on their own experiences and perspectives.

Overall, "Definitions" is a thought-provoking and emotional episode that delves into the complexities of human relationships and the ways in which we define ourselves and our experiences. With strong performances from the entire cast and a poignant message about the power of self-discovery, this episode stands as one of the strongest in the series' run.
