It is Halloween in this particular episode and the gangs
decides to dress up for Halloween, with each one having a separate story of their
own. Lilly and Marshal end up wearing Captain Jack Sparrow and Parrot theme in
order to win a context, Lilly as the Parrot and Marshal as Jack. Ted on the
other hands wants to go to a roof frat boy party where he has been waiting for
a girl who he met three years ago on that same party. He hopes to find her and
hopefully get to know her; he nicknames her as “the slutty Pumpkin”. Barney
attempts to convince Ted on coming with him to a Victoria Secret Model Yacht
party, which Ted refuses to go. The whole night Ted is at this party but he
does not meet his long lost “slutty Pumpkin” instead he ends up having a good
after party conversation with Robin who also had a bad Halloween experience.
Barney disappears to another party and Lilly and Marshall end up winning the
context.
What I saw within this episode was the act of determination.
All characters attempted to find love, find excitement, and win a contest, but
only one was able to feel the accomplishment. Determination is not always guaranteed
for sure, life is full of risks, and it is ok to take them. Without taking
risks then new experiences are not able to be experienced and new pathways
unable to form. God has given us freewill in order for us to make our own
choices. It is not wrong to have this free will but letting him directing it is
determination we give unto the Lord. We set ourselves apart from others and
declare the determination we have for the glory to be done to His Kingdom. God
is truly good and His paths are always greater than our own, greater that what
we can ever image, even when we think we do His ways are better. Instead of
asking the question of why things not coming the right way just stopping and
declaring trust and faith in God when taking either path.
