"Mosbius Designs" is the 20th episode in the fourth season of the television series How I Met Your Mother and 84th overall. It aired on April 13, 2009. In the episode, Ted starts his own architecture firm while Marshall is worried about his own employment situation. The episode also marks the beginning of Alyson Hannigan's maternity leave; Lily appears only in the cold open.
Barney tells a dirty joke with an unrevealed punch line so offensive, Lily avoids the group for four weeks.
Ted starts his own architecture firm, Mosbius Designs, and operates it out of his and Robin's apartment. He initially focuses on trivial matters; Robin then urges him to focus on contacting clients, and he hires an intern, PJ (Ryan Sypek). PJ manages the apartment like an office; Robin is attracted to his authority and they begin having sex together, including during business hours, so Ted fires PJ. With PJ now focusing all his time and attention on Robin, she feels smothered and breaks things off. Ted re-hires PJ, causing Robin to renew her interest in him. PJ eventually decides to leave, perversely giving Robin a letter of explanation, and Ted a bouquet of roses. Hearing of Robin's relationship with PJ, Barney becomes jealous; as Lily isn't around, he confides in Marshall that he is in love with Robin.
Meanwhile, at GNB, Marshall fears he lacks job security, and Barney suggests he ingratiate himself to the office with a gimmick. Marshall decides to run a fantasy baseball league, but quickly becomes overwhelmed by the additional responsibilities and his coworkers' demands. Marshall hires PJ as a paralegal and delegates the fantasy league to him while retaining credit for it; Barney thanks Marshall for getting PJ away from Robin.
