| - The thing about Maggie is that her relationships are very long-lasting. Her last three relationships before The Window (the episode centered around her) lasted two, three and four years respectively. The only times she was single were marked by the very short periods. In the episode, Ted tries to keep Maggie away from all men, ensuring that any human contact made with her was made by women. But when he has to cover an evening architecture class, he finds it hard to keep her under his surveillance. After fighting with Barney (wearing overalls for a bet) and a work colleague of Maggie's over her, he manages to find her apartment, where she took off to. However, when Ted knocks, he finds her re-united with Adam, her new boyfriend. She recounts their story - they grew up as kids and were about to start a teen relationship when Adam had to relocate. Now that they have found each other again, they have "catching-up" to do. Ted finally understands that Maggie and Adam were meant for each other, and although he salutes Maggie's co-worker with a "see you next time", Future Ted comments how Maggie's window never opened again, and a future scene is shown with Maggie and Adam happily overseeing their family playing in the garden.
