<P> At the banquet, Ted finds himself more and more attracted to Mary, who says she is a paralegal at a law firm downtown . Ted tries to talk to Robin to restore their friendship, but fails . Robin wins the award, and thanks all of her friends for coming and supporting her, except Ted . Meanwhile, Barney has got Ted a room in the hotel for the night, and Ted is beginning to think about whether he and Mary should go up to the room . Marshall tries to stop him, but without success . Ted and Mary head up to the room, while Robin and Sandy Rivers get a cab . Shortly afterward, Robin returns, reiterating that she does not date co-workers, and she brought Sandy Rivers only to make Ted jealous, and Marshall tells her that Ted brought Mary to make Robin jealous . Marshall then (in an oddly telepathic manner) tells Lily that Mary is a prostitute, and Lily, who is asleep, wakes up and asks if Mary is indeed an escort . After a minute, Barney reveals that Mary is not really a prostitute, but a paralegal who lives in his building . Ted does not know this, and Mary eventually slaps him and leaves when Ted insists that she's a prostitute . </P> <P> At the bar, Barney insists to Ted that the reason he got on so well with Mary was because he thought he was on to a sure thing anyway, but Ted reveals that he's had the last laugh by never checking out of the hotel room, and leaves to increase the already hefty bill on Barney's credit card . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> This section needs expansion .
