THE PERFECT GIFT for the lonely, the deluded and the desperate.

It is Barney and Leigh's wedding day. They have certainly come a long way from their first date.

They have learned to supress their personalities and pretend they want the same things, so they will be able to put up with each other for several years.

Everyone is happy for them.

Their story is over.

Marcus and Fiona have had three dates.

Fiona knows this means she will either end up spending the rest of her life with Marcus, or eventually have to break up with him, horribly.

Both of these ideas are terrifying to Fiona.

Tomorrow Fiona will fake her own death and join Cirque du Soleil.
