WARNING Do not read the following recap if you haven t seen tonight s episode of How I Met Your Mother.
A promo released last week promised the mother of all reveals a giant moment that fans have been waiting for.
So did we meet the mother in tonight s season finale of How I Met Your Mother Yes. Yes we did.
Take a moment to let that sink in. We. Have. Met. The. Mother.
And the best part We d never seen her before.
After all the speculation the wonder the PopWatch casting sessions and the theories The Mother turned out to be some girl. Carrying a yellow umbrella. Buying a ticket to Farhampton where oh you know.
Something about the seemingly out of the blue casting decision fills me with joy. (In real life she s actually Cristin Milioti of Once stage fame.) It speaks to the randomness of fate in a way that I think is just wonderful.
Also can I be a nerd for a second When we saw her walking my heart was pounding. And after we saw her I felt a weight lift. For us and for Ted.
You re so close Ted. So close.
Ted s in major need of this meeting. In this episode he was the lowest we ve ever seen him heart still aching over Robin and Barney s nuptials and planning a low key move to Chicago aka Cleveland y New York. Lily was the only one who knew Ted s plans.
Hold on Ted. Hold on.
Speaking of Lily she and Marshall had a bit of drama of their own. While visiting his mom with Marvin Marshall got a phone call that basically changed his life He was being appointed a judge. The problem was that they wanted him to start in one week in person. (He couldn t be the crazy speaker phone judge or appear via hologram.) By episode s end Marshall still hadn t told Lily. We know Marshall eventually becomes a judge but I really hope Lily doesn t have to give up an opportunity of a lifetime to make it happen. So many cliffhangers
The lightest moments of the episode came courtesy of Robin and Barney who one week before getting legen married decided to go out to dinner but found themselves fighting a battle of wits against a pair of nightmare diners. ( Did those two just become our arch enemies No Robin they ve always been our arch enemies they just only revealed themselves. )
Last I can t part with you for the season without mentioning that we did solve last week s locket mystery thanks to Lily s recount of one of Robin s drunken nights. (Robin dug up the locket and took it back to Ted s place where it did not end up in her butt. I ll make you watch the episode for an explanation on that one.) It turns out Ted had the locket all along. So he wrapped it up and planned to give it to Robin as a wedding gift. The most troubling moment of all though Lily s final words to him regarding the matter Ted be careful.
My worst fear Ted screws up the wedding Robin and Barney break up Ted meets the mother and Robin is left alone. I would literally die of sadness if this happens. (Yes I m being dramatic but I m emotionally invested okay ) Best case scenario Someone ties Ted up before he can ruin anything and it turns out to be for his own good.
Someone go buy some rope and I ll see y all back here in the fall.
