Later that night, Ted is waiting at the train station when Tracy arrives. Ted gathers up the courage and talks to her.
Tracy tells him that he knows him through the Econ class, and Ted knows that she was Cindy 's old roommate. They then realize that they both owned her yellow umbrella at different points and realize that they found each other. They hit it off, and the following day, Ted cancels his plans for Chicago. He calls her and invites her to dinner. Three days after Barney and Robin's wedding, she and Ted go on their first date.
Ted tells her the story of Gary Blauman , and she sees Louis, which makes her uncertain she is ready to date again.
Ted walks her home and finishes the story. Tracy and Ted share their first kiss then continue to walk around. In , a year after Barney and Robin's wedding weekend, seen in a flash-forward in Coming Back : Tracy and Ted are checking in to the Farhampton Inn, where Ted tells her a story of how one year earlier, he sat in the very chair across from them almost to the moment and told himself, "I'm coming back, and I'm bringing you".
She remarks that Ted hadn't even met her a year ago, but Ted tells her he knew he would. He gets up and leaves to check them in, and Tracy looks around the room and eventually her eyes land on the very seat Ted from had been sitting in.
Soon after, as seen in The Lighthouse , Ted stands with Tracy on top of the Farhampton lighthouse, staring out into the sunset. She says it's "almost like going back in time", which Ted remarks was exactly what he'd said when he visited there with Cassie in She remarks how she pukes whenever Ted does, and she doesn't want that to ruin "the perfect evening"; Ted tells her he'll try to make it even better. He gets down on one knee and begins to propose, but before he can say her name and complete his sentence she automatically says yes without question, multiple times.
He stands up, they kiss, and are officially engaged. In , Ted and Tracy are planning to get married in a grand ceremony in France in September that year. However, they postpone their wedding indefinitely when Tracy announces that she is pregnant.
The couple continued living together in their house , unwed. Tracy is pregnant and begins having contractions. They quickly get into a car that's waiting outside, placing their two-year-old daughter in a carseat, and Ted tells Tracy that he's proud of her, as is their daughter, Penny.
As Ted hurriedly drives toward the hospital, Future Ted tells his kids that the one exception to the "nothing good happens after 2 a. In the limousine outside the event, Ted recalls the vow he made Rally of not drinking as much as Barney drank in the night before his wedding Unpause so he wouldn't get such a terrible hangover.
Tracy is skeptical he'll keep his word. However, the next morning, Tracy is the one with a terrible hangover, so Ted makes her the Stinson Hangover Fixer Elixir.
In , Tracy and Ted are staying at the Farhampton Inn. Ted attempts to tell her stories like he told his children, but they both discover that they have told each other every story they have, finally considering themselves, "an old married couple. When Ted recalls how Robin's mother nearly didn't attend her wedding, Tracy makes an offhand comment about mothers always attending their daughter's weddings.
Ted is overcome with sudden emotion and Tracy quickly changes the subject back to their life stories. Ted recalls the time he met her and he says from the moment that he met her, he had to love her for as long as her could. His daughter reveals that she has been gone for six years as of She also theorises that the reason he went into such detail about Robin throughout the retelling is because he still has feelings for her.
The kids are enthusiastic about him dating Robin again, saying they have seen how they interact together. With his children's blessing, Ted decides to steal the blue French horn again and goes to Robin's apartment. Over the course of the show, facts about Tracy reveal that she has a lot of common with Ted. Before Tracy's official introduction, the following was revealed throughout the series:. During Future Ted's narration, the scene flashes forward to Ted at the altar with the Mother, whose head is obscured by a bridal veil.
Barney and Marshall are also present. This is a list of people who, in the past, were potential candidates for being The Mother. However, due to new information released later during the series, these people have been excluded from being potential candidates. Please note that only those who had a realistic chance of being The Mother are included in this list, such as those that have been in serious, long-term relationships with Ted.
During Milk , Ted has a date with Ted's Love Solutions Match , as they share a lot of similar interests and she wants the same things out of life as Ted does. However, Ted realizes that he doesn't want perfect, he wants Robin, and stands her up on their date to pursue Robin instead.
Ted says she's 28, but Tracy turned 21 during the events of the Pilot , so it is very unlikely they are the same person. Coincidentally, Tracy was 28 years old when she met Ted.
In the Pilot , it was shown that Ted wanted to get married and loved Robin, so it was implied that she would be The Mother. In Symphony of Illumination , it is revealed that Robin cannot have children, so she could not be The Mother.
So far, every step that has brought Ted closer to meeting The Mother has been indirectly connected to Robin in some way:. Due to the seriousness of their relationship, it was suspected Victoria would be The Mother, but as was said earlier, in Lucky Penny , Future Ted states that he had not yet met The Mother. Stella was a likely candidate to be The Mother, due to the seriousness of her relationship with Ted, culminating with their engagement and subsequent wedding plans.
Patrick's Day, whereas in the previous episode, No Tomorrow , he reveals to his kids that their mother was at a same party that he was on St. Patrick's Day. However, Stella left him on their wedding day to be with her ex-boyfriend, and father of her daughter, Tony Grafanello.
Once again, if How I Met Your Mother had ended after Season 3 , Stella would likely have been a fallback option similar to Victoria and she would have been The Mother, although Stella's daughter Lucy not being present while Ted is talking to his kids was an early indication Stella was not the mother since Lucy would have been in her early 30's in In a hypothetical flash forward, Ted pictures his kids with Stella as being blonde haired.
Zoey was never a possibility to be The Mother, since it had been stated before Ted met her that the day he met his wife was the day of a wedding further down the road. Zoey is further confirmed as not The Mother when Ted reveals to Wendy the Waitress , when they cross paths in , that his and Zoey's relationship ended badly, and that he's since married and had children.
Until Ring Up , it was speculated that The Mother could be Barney 's half-sister, Carly , as this would have literally made Robin and Barney aunt and uncle to Ted's future children. Not much was known about her, except that she was currently attending college, mentioned by Barney's father Jerome Whittaker in Legendaddy.
Thus, she may have been in the Economics class Ted accidentally went into as his first first day as a professor. Carly's family also lived ten minutes away from Ted's house. Ted meets Carly in Season 8 and briefly dates her without knowing she's Barney's sister.
Note: Any episode prior to "Something New", The Mother was played by stunt actresses, her first official appearance is in the aforementioned episode. In today's world, they'd probably opt to make new memories instead of revisiting old ones.
It was said on the series that Tracy stopped dating for some time after she found out that her long-time boyfriend Max was killed. She got this terrible news on the night of her 21 st birthday, made more heartbreakig by the fact that he gifted her a ukulele that she kept to this day. The fact that she lost the love of her life and that the love of Ted's life had seemingly always been Robin sours the whole concept of their love story. Viewers would never go for a story like that today with a happy yet tainted ending.
The idea of the yellow umbrella that suggested the owner was Ted's one true love was sweet, but it would never fly today. People own unusual and boldly colored umbrellas by the dozen.
There wouldn't really be anything that distinct about one. And while there arguably wouldn't have been anything distinct about it back in the '90s either, it would be less so today. Someone could easily look up yellow umbrellas on Amazon and find hundreds of options that aren't all that special.
Tracy being painted as some type of angel was totally unrealistic. It's revealed that Barney had actually met Tracy before during a pick-up challenge when he had to pick up someone at a drug store and she so happened to end up his target.
She got into his head and sat with him to talk about how his actions were a cry for help. So, it turns out that it was Tracy who helped Barney realize what he really wanted and convinced him to pursue a real relationship with Robin. One random woman in a drug store could never break a lifetime of habit unless she was literally some type of angel.
When Tracy and Lily accidentally met on a train, it was clear they shared an instant bond. In fact, Tracy almost seemed like another version of Lily , which would just be weird. Imagine falling for the woman of your dreams who happens to be the brunette version of your best friend's wife and one of your own best friends! During Tracy's conversation with Lily on the train, she provided advice about Lily's friend Ted, who Lily was trying to stop from bringing a locket to a woman named Robin who was about to get married.
Tracy perceptively suggested that Ted purposely annoyed Lily so he could get to the Inn first and profess his true feelings to Robin before she got married. Hence, all this while that Ted was narrating the story, the Mother was actually dead. But when Ted finished his narration, the kids realised that Ted's story mostly revolved around him and Robin and only in the end their mother made an appearance. They understood that Ted still loved Robin and only wanted to know how they would react to the idea of their father and Robin together.
The children, Penny and Luke urged him to seek her out. Ted finally went after Robin and confessed his love for her. However, it was leaked online a few years later. This ending followed the original storyline until Lily's toast. After that, the scenes were changed showing how Ted and Tracy lived a happy life as the latter was terminally ill.
