"The Goat" is the 17th episode in the third season of the television series "How I Met Your Mother". It originally aired on April 28, 2008.

Plot

The episode begins with the aftermath of the events of Sandcastles In The Sand: Barney and Robin are in bed together. Robin proposes that they pretend their tryst never happened, and Barney agrees. However, Barney feels quite awkward and uncomfortable around Ted at MacLaren's later in the day. Hoping to find an excuse for his and Robin's actions, Barney seeks out Marshall to help him find a loophole in the Bro Code, a document very important to Barney's life as a bro. Allegedly written by Barnabus Stinson in the 18th century when Benjamin Franklin and George Washington were too busy to write it themselves, the Bro Code proves to be a very tight document that Ted has followed flawlessly and Barney fails in finding a loophole. Robin finds the secret even harder to keep than Barney and eventually admits to Ted that she and Barney slept together. That night, when Barney picks up Ted in a limo to take him to Ted's 30th birthday party, an outraged Ted yells at Barney, telling him how wrong it was to sleep with his best friend's ex-girlfriend. Ted ends his rant by telling Barney that he not only does not want to be bros anymore, but also does not want to be his friend anymore.

Meanwhile, Lily rescues a goat named Missy when a farmer brings it to her kindergarten class and horrifies her students by going into great detail about what will happen to Missy when she visits the butcher. Lily plans to give the goat away to animal control, but becomes attached to the goat while waiting for Ted to arrive at his birthday party. Older Ted reveals at the end of the episode that he had the story wrong: everything involving the goat actually takes place during his 31st birthday. The viewer also learns that on Ted's 31st birthday, Robin is living in the apartment.
