Fans of "How I Met Your Mother" will have an entire episode dedicated to The Mother, played by Critisin Milioti. For the show's 200th episode, an entire half-hour will tell the story of how Ted met his future wife, but it will all be told from the Mother's perspective.
Fans will not only learn her backstory and find out what she's been up to during those eight years before she met Ted but the show will also revisit key scenes from the series when The Mother was present but never revealed.
For instance, viewers will be taken back to when The Mother first laid eyes on Ted during a architecture lecture in class. Turns out that Ted was in the wrong classroom but fate is fate. The show will also revisit the time Ted went to visit Cindy (played by Rachel Bilson) at the apartment she shared with The Mother.
"Our 100th episode was very much a celebration of the cast but this is a different kind of story," executive producer Carter Bays told TV Line. "It's about the tale. It felt like a different kind of 200th episode, but it felt like the right one to do in terms of the greater story of the show."
"You're going to be so sick of her by the end [of the series]," executive producer Craig Thomas jokingly told TV Line in December.
The episode is titled "How Your Mother Met Me" and will air Feb. 3 on CBS at 8 p.m. In last week's (Jan. 20) episode fans were given a treat when they learned the names of Ted's future children.
In a flash forward set in 2017, Ted and his wife are enjoying their last vacation before The Mother gives birth to their second child when she goes into labor in the middle of the night.
As Ted and The Mother prepare to leave, he reveals that his daughter's name is Penny and his son's name is Luke.
