"Blitzgiving" is the tenth episode of the sixth season of the CBS sitcom How I Met Your Mother, and the 122nd episode overall. It aired on November 22, 2010.
It's the day before Thanksgiving, and Ted is hosting his first Thanksgiving for the group, and tries his best to make it memorable. He makes a special turkey by stuffing it with a smaller turkey, calling it a "turturkeykey". Just as he is about to call it an early night, the group tells him not to leave the bar, or he will get the curse of "The Blitz". Future Ted explains how an old college friend, Steve Henry (Jorge Garcia), had the curse of The Blitz; whenever he would leave the room with a group, something amazing would happen.
The next morning, Ted awakens to find his apartment a wreck. The gang are all present (even Steve) and Ted discovers Zoey sleeping in the bathtub. Ted is furious that the group spent time with his mortal enemy. Lily explains that Zoey entered MacLaren's after Ted left and, While the group originally schemed to get back at her, they ended up having a great night with her and Steve. Ted realizes he truly has been cursed with The Blitz.
As a result of the group actions the previous night Ted's oven is broken and the gang seek a place where they could cook the turkey. Lily remembers that Zoey invited them all to her place for Thanksgiving, as her husband is spending Thanksgiving with his daughter. Barney hitches a separate cab to Zoey's but then realizes he may have been cursed with The Blitz by being away from the group. Barney meets the group outside Zoey's apartment and he realizes that he has become The Blitz, as the group say they had run into a Thanksgiving Day parade.
At Zoey's apartment Lily tries to convince Ted that enemies can become friends but Zoey & Ted start fighting, resulting in Zoey ordering them to leave. While heading back Ted realises that Zoey is upset that her stepdaughter avoids spending time with her on the holidays. Ted and the group head back to the apartment and Ted asks for Zoey's forgiveness, saying that he understands her feelings for her stepdaughter. As the group enjoys a Thanksgiving meal, Future Ted says it's how he and Zoey finally became friends, also stating that the 'turturkeykey' tasted "wrong".
