"Unpause" is the fifteenth episode of the ninth season of the CBS sitcom How I Met Your Mother, and the 199th episode overall. This is also the episode where Ted's future children's names are finally revealed; the daughter's name is Penny and the son is Luke.
In 2017, Ted's wife goes into labor during their stay at the Farhampton Inn, where they were enjoying their last weekend away before their new baby comes. Ted tells his wife that he hopes the baby arrives soon due to his mother's rule that "Nothing good happens after 2am". However, his wife says she doesn't believe the rule and they prepare to leave for the hospital.
Four years earlier at exactly 2:01am, 16 hours before the wedding, the gang has a last round of drinks before heading to bed. Marshall keeps ordering drinks to stall his inevitable confrontation with Lily over his new job and the plan to go to Italy. He also uses the opportunity to irritate Ted with the childhood items he got from Mrs. Mosby (one of which being a stuffed turtle toy with a voice recording), but Lily insists they leave. When Marshall learns Lily wants to have the argument after they have sex, he attempts to prolong their lovemaking as much as possible.
Just as Ted, Robin, and Barney are ready to call it a night, Barney reveals embarrassing information about himself. Previously, the gang had thought that Barney maxed out at "Jabba drunk", where he talked like Jabba the Hutt from Star Wars. However, Ted and Robin realize the drinks have brought Barney into a drunken state where he will truthfully answer any question, giving them the opportunity to ask anything they've always wanted to know about him. As Ted and Robin ask Barney questions, Barney makes a number of admissions such as: kissing Mrs. Mosby (but never got further), spending a "crapload" each year on suits, and Robin's family is incredibly wealthy, which only angers Ted because he paid for everything during their relationship and she never did, while Robin defends herself by saying it only belongs to her family and not her. Robin tries several times to find out why he keeps saying 'ring bear' instead of 'ring-bearer' and if there is actually going to be a bear at the wedding. After a few failed attempts, Barney tells Robin that there will be a ring-bearer, whose name is Trevor Hudson, and Barney worked with his mother. Unknown to Robin, an animal keeper is later seen walking with an unseen Trevor Hudson on a chain, making it unclear whether Trevor is indeed a bear or an aggressive man.
