Ep 10. The Over-Correction

In "How I Met Your Mother" season 8 episode 10, titled "The Over-Correction," the gang is getting ready for Barney and Robin's wedding. Ted is still trying to get over his feelings for Robin, so he decides to bring a date to the wedding, which goes horribly wrong. Meanwhile, Barney is struggling with his feelings for Robin and his fear of commitment. He tries to convince himself that he's only interested in casual relationships, but his actions say otherwise.

Marshall and Lily are dealing with their own issues. Lily is worried about leaving their son behind while they go to the wedding, and Marshall is trying to prove that he's still the fun-loving guy he used to be. He ends up taking a cocaine-like substance called "giraffe juice" and goes on a wild ride, which includes stealing a horse-drawn carriage and hitting a bouncer with a brick.

Throughout the episode, there are several over-corrections - actions taken in an attempt to compensate for previous mistakes. Ted over-corrects by bringing a loud, annoying date to the wedding to prove that he's moved on from Robin. Barney over-corrects by pretending that he's not interested in a serious relationship with Robin. Marshall over-corrects by trying to prove that he's still young and cool by taking drugs.

As the wedding approaches, tensions rise between Barney and Robin. They argue about their differing views on commitment and their past relationships. Meanwhile, Ted's date continues to cause problems, including starting a fight with another guest. Eventually, things come to a head and the gang is forced to deal with their issues and confront their past mistakes.
