Ted pops by the karaoke list first of all, to sign himself up. It's a pretty short wait, probably people have been going up somewhat impulsively.
It's thankfully easy to track down Sassy and pull her aside so they can talk quickly. He apologises for not being honest earlier, and explains that he's dating Joan, but that they've wanted to keep it quiet.
Of course, at first she's surprised (and maybe disappointed?), but she graciously moves past it almost immediately, even giving him a hug as she congratulates him. Ted grins happily and relieved as she pulls back, and she even seems to make a conscious choice to let go of him and remain a respectful distance as he thanks her for her understanding.
