He then takes her to a Canadian-themed bar instead, and sings her single Let's Go to the Mall on the karaoke machine. To prove that The Mermaid Theory (eventually any woman, no matter how unattractive, starts to look like a mermaid to a man) has no effect on Marshall, Robin and Marshall go out to a nice dinner alone. Robin gets incredibly drunk, and Marshall realizes that he will always think of her as a friend and nothing more.Robin and Don:Don Frank is Robin's co-anchor.
