I had to look it up myself. 4 weeks ago. It was a future scene when he's telling his wife how Robins mom's made it to the wedding. She says what mother doesn't make it to her daughters wedding and Ted goeswait hold up... what was the episode when ted cried in the hotel room??

On the one hand I'm just happy it's over 
But that plot twist was disrespectful as hell man 
Like what's the message? Simps gon simp? Mothers of your children die everyday b? The way Ted just casually went "oh by the way the bytch died from cancer" had me like
) 
I'm like thousand of years too late, but whatever. Great sitcom, the attention to detail was great throughout which is what made the ending so bittersweet. The character development (especially Barney
Obvious the mother was dead(not the worst thing) by season 8, but all of the characters undeveloped the last episode, just horrible.
All in all, Barney and robin were prefect for each other. I would've been fine with Ted moving on with anyone else
So like I said one long love letter to Robin.I appreciate the twist. It's romantic in a simpish and sad kinda way. I just don't think it was executed well. I get his feelings for Robin. I get his kids liking her and picking up on it. What doesn't make sense is how kids would respond that well to their deceased mom coming off as a 2nd place booby prize place-filler for their dad's true love..."Aunt" Robin.
. I would have been more receptive to the ending if:
1. They hadn't done so much Ted and Robin back and forth. It felt like "Seriously? Again with this?" due to how they ran it into the ground during the series. If they hadn't been so heavy handed with it then it would have come off better.
2. More time had been devoted to the mother so that she came off as superior or at least equal to Robin. The audience was invested in the mom and spent 8 years waiting to meet her. The kids are invested for obvious reasons. To have the story end up being all about Ted and Robin with mom as a convenient backdrop is ain the face to both parties. fukk I spend 8 years waiting to meet the mom for when it's just gonna be Robin?
Kids, have I ever told you the story when your aunt Robin was a badass investigator?
Good thing it was the finale then.
The end of game of thrones comes to mind. Another end that makes a lot of shyt that happened along the way seem pointless.
I still don’t get how Ted Mosby literally has the goat wing man and is dying to settle down.
