Plot
As a final Halloween tradition, Ted, Barney and the gang take a train ride to a winter forest to see a tree light up on fire for the season. Unfortunately, there is no train in the region, so the boys have to hike to the forest, which is a difficult task. When they get to the forest, they are greeted by Gizmo, a boy who takes Barney to see a giant, illuminated tree. They each see a different girl (Wendi, Lisa and Chidi, respectively) and they agree to meet at the tree at midnight. The girls are unwilling to part with their cell phones, so they agree to have their phone batteries run out at 10:55, 10:54 and 10:53 respectively, letting their friends know where they are. Barney is the first one to see Wendi, but he misinterprets the situation and thinks it is his girlfriend Lisa.
The guys are very tired when they reach the tree, and Gizmo takes them to the bathroom to clean up. As he is preparing to leave, he asks Ted why he was in the bathroom. Ted explains that he was having a cigarette and accidentally knocked over a candle, causing his entire sleeve to burn. After getting back in bed, Ted, still convinced that it was his girlfriend who lit the candle, lies there for a while, then remembers that he saw three girls. This leads him to an idea for a plan that will definitely work and gives him time to compose a cheesy proposal speech.
Ted's plan is for him to wear the dress that Wendy used to wear and says that he can't believe that he fell asleep with it on. When he was setting the fire, he planned to propose, but he forgot. Ted enters the bathroom wearing the dress and says that it didn't fit. As he puts the dress back on, he starts to think it's a trick. When he sits down to eat a candy bar, he realizes that he forgot the part about the ring. He begins to laugh, believing that he was the one who proposed in the bathroom, even though he was sure that he had not proposed to anyone. When Gizmo is laughing at Ted, he says that he's not funny.
