When Barney asks Robin to be his back-up in case he hasn't found anyone by the time he's 40, she says that she already has that deal with Ted. We see her and Ted make that deal in episode 4x12 "Benefits".

The flashback in which Robin thinks Ted is proposing to her is from the season 2 finale "Something Blue".
