"Happily Ever After" is the sixth episode in the fourth season of the television series How I Met Your Mother and 70th overall. It originally aired on November 3, 2008.
The day after Stella ran out on their wedding, Ted is unusually happy. His friends (other than Barney, who is just happy Ted isn't married) are worried about him, thinking that he is repressing his emotions. Over the course of two weeks, the group tries to be there for Ted, but he insists he is fine. Eventually, the group becomes frustrated, and pushes him to unleash his emotions. Though he refuses, he reveals that he has a map of Manhattan with parts covered in red marker pen which he avoids in order to not run into Stella (though this largely confines him). Using the map, they decide to go to dinner at a restaurant recommended by one of Lily's friends.
Unfortunately, it soon turns out that friend was actually Stella, who appears at the restaurant while the group is waiting to eat. Panicking, Ted ducks under the table, with the rest of the group reluctantly following his example. Stella places an order to go, so they decide to wait for her to leave. Lily tells Ted he is being stupid, and says he should face Stella. Ted replies that Lily would do the same thing in his position, if "Gasser" walked in.
Lily reveals that, in ninth grade, she sat next to a boy named Michael Sasser, who was on the edge of becoming a cool kid. In one lesson, Lily lets out a loud fart, and rather than be humiliated in front of her friends, blamed Sasser, giving him the nickname 'Gasser', and he was teased so badly he had to switch schools. Back under the table, Lily says that if Michael were to walk in, she would go over and apologize, and face her fear, inviting Ted to do the same. Barney agrees, saying that there are plenty of women he slept with he doesn't want to see again, but he still would not hide from them. Ted mentions Becca DeLucci, which seems to upset Barney.
