Barney: Ted, did you or didn't you break up with Jeanette last night?
Ted: I don't know, it's kind of confusing.
[flashback to Ted and Jeanette at the game:]
Ted: I think we need to talk.
Jeanette: Oh, oh, okay. I see where this is going. You're in love with Lily. That's it, isn't it?
Ted: What? No, I...
Jeanette: Like I should be surprised with her fancy medical degree and her sexy Southern drawl.
Ted: What? She's not...
Jeanette: Don't talk to me, don't look at me. I hate you and I never want to see you again!
[present:]
Ted: And then things got crazy and we got thrown out of the Barclays Center. I don't know, it felt pretty breakup-y. Anyway, we parted on pretty bad terms, so... I kind of thought maybe I could...
Barney: Never contact her again and hope she'd take the hint and just leave you alone?
Ted: Barney, give me some credit.
Barney: Was that the plan?
Ted: Yes.
