"Perfect Week" is the 14th episode of the fifth season of the CBS situation comedy How I Met Your Mother and 102nd episode overall. It originally aired on February 1, 2010.
Future Ted starts off by explaining that Barney's way of dealing with stress was imagining he was being interviewed by CBS sportscaster Jim Nantz. Barney recaps his story, which began at MacLaren's a week ago when he "called his shot," pointing out a woman at the bar and saying she'd be the one he'd go home with that night. Thus began his attempt at a "perfect week," defined as having sex with seven women in seven days without a single rejection.
After four days, Barney's streak is unbroken, but on the fifth night, Marshall is worried because a big merger at work fell through and Barney was getting blamed for it. He said he thought Barney might get fired on Friday. Lily wants to talk to Barney, but Ted intervenes, and Barney asks him for help finding the dumbest girl in the bar, whom Barney promptly takes home.
Nantz asks Barney if he'd ever used performance-enhancing drugs, but says he hasn't. He said he'd been offered them before, and flashed back to a time when Marshall offered him some. He asked what time it was, then counted out four hours and realized he had to go to the hospital (indicating a priapism).
Barney returns to the apartment having already had sex with the sixth woman. Lily confronts him about losing his job, and utters the phrase "perfect week", jinxing Barney. The next night, Lily is so confident that Barney was going to score with Christy at the bar, she says "there's no such thing as a jinx." Then Nick Swisher, a member of the 2009 World Champion New York Yankees, walks through the door. Robin doesn't understand the appeal of a Yankee, so Lily compares it to the appeal of a Vancouver Canucks' player.
