* RiddleForTheAges: How ''did'' Marshall lose his wallet? The two stories presented by Marshall are equally plausible given his character, and he has valid reasons for making up either story. The episode leaves it intentionally ambiguous, with a message about how sometimes you have to choose which version of the truth you prefer.
