However, Ted does not go home with Honey but instead lets Barney make his move. Zoey is thrilled upon hearing the news that Ted did not hook up with Honey. Now realizing he has feelings for Zoey, Ted tries to end their friendship, not wanting to complicate things because she is a married woman. When Zoey demands to know the reason, he ends up accusing Lily of hating her. After confronting Lily, who then blames Robin, who then blames Marshall- Zoey realizes it is Ted who is pushing her away and he refuses to tell her why. Meanwhile, Marshall is still in Minnesota and has been told all versions of the story, including a surprise call from Honey who confides in him that Zoey is getting divorced, and he pieces all the information together to discover Ted and Zoey are in love with one another.
