Robin reports on a matchmaking service with a 100% track record called Love Solutions. Robin and Barney recommend Ted try out the service but he is not interested, so Barney tricks Ted into going by telling him that his boat is sinking. Ellen Pierce, the owner of Love Solutions, is unconvinced by Barney but confident she can find a match for Ted - in three days. He is skeptical until Ellen calculates how small the percentage of available women is for him in New York. After not hearing for five days, Ted wants to know what the problem is. Everyone tells him not to "Ted out" about it (overthink something). He returns to Love Solutions, only to find out he cannot be matched to anyone. The closest match compatible with Ted was set up with someone weeks ago. Ellen tells Ted there's no chance for him and sees him out of her office. Ted sneaks back in when she goes to lunch, in order to steal information on his highest percentage match. The woman is a dermatologist, so Ted books an appointment with her. He learns she is engaged and will be getting married by the end of the week. He tells her if things change, he'll be available. Later in the week, she calls, and, while Ted thinks things have changed, she merely informs him of something on his back which she spotted after his appointment. He reveals why he booked in with her and she tells him to not believe in matchmaking services. He then returns to Love Solutions, and finds a distraught Ellen. As Ted appears to have no soulmate, the company's 100% success rate is ruined. Ted, however, has hope that he will find his soul mate, and encourages Ellen to keep searching for him (at no extra charge).
