9x25 - Episode 25
March 31, 2014
Ted Mosby's wife Tracy McConnell, the titular "Mother," doesn't pass away from a terminal illness in this more upbeat version that plays on the happenstance of previous seasons. Even the cold manner in which the show reveals Tracy's death – a mere sentence after nine seasons of building up the relationship – was criticized by fans. That's not an issue here. In this ending, the widowed Ted Mosby doesn't wind up with the now-divorced Robin Scherbatsky; partly because Ted isn't widowed, partly because Robin stays married to Neil Patrick Harris's Barney Stinson. In short, no new footage but less divorce, less death, and more closure from the narration provided by Bob Saget.
