"The Drunk Train" is the 16th episode of the seventh season of the CBS sitcom How I Met Your Mother, and the 152nd episode overall. It aired on February 13, 2012.
Because Ted asked him to be his wingman, Barney meets a woman named Quinn who sees through all of his plays. To compensate for the poor night out, Barney insists that he and Ted try their luck on the late-night "Drunk Train", the last train out of the city, which is filled with the drunkest, most desperate bridge and tunnel people. The duo runs into difficulty scoring on the train, but they succeed on their third attempt when they find a solution (getting drunk themselves), until Barney reveals that he and Quinn had hooked up that first night. Ted realizes that Barney keeps thinking about Quinn, and tells him that if he feels something for her he should go after her, as it's Valentine's Day and such opportunities are rare. Ted admits that he's disappointed that he still has no-one he can't stop thinking about.
On a couples retreat for Valentine's Day, Marshall and Lily try to show Robin and Kevin that the success to a long-term relationship is not to "keep score". Lily and Marshall eventually end up bickering over the issue, but when they return home they decide, as impending parents, that they should work together as a team and no longer keep score. On the weekend trip Kevin proposes to Robin, who wants to accept but has to decide how to tell him that she can't have children and doesn't ever want them. After consulting Marshall and Lily, she tells Kevin, who still wants to marry her. However, because Robin does not want Kevin to regret marrying her, she firmly tells him that she does not want to have children ever, not even by adoption, forcing Kevin to truly reflect on the issue. He then takes back the proposal and they break up.
