How I Met Your Mother: 25 Best Moments From The Finale
23. The Final You SONOFABITCH
Looking like rather underplayed catchphrase next to "legendary" and "suit up", Lilys exclamation in times of dire frustration gets its final appearance in the most fitting of fashions; when her and Marshall discover Ted hasnt gone to Chicago because of another girl, she growls yousonofabitch (pronunciation: you-son-of-a-beetch), only to pull it back when she realises it's Tracy Ted's breaking his promise for. As her and Marshall are so approving of the girls identity, you feel this may be the last time she chastises Ted for a bad decision. At the very least its the last time in the show and thus ends one of the more subtle running gags.
22. The Mother Dies
After two kids, a belated wedding and some unseen arguments, Ted and Tracys story is cut abruptly short when she falls terminally ill. Shown as a short vignette of a bedridden Tracy being read to by Ted, its the depressing ending wed all feared. Placing quite low on the list, primarily because it was actually rather downplayed in the episode itself, this had been foreshadowed heavily in previous weeks, although we doubt many of the theorists who guessed it were happy to be proven right. Miliotti was a surprise delight as the much-anticipated title character, so seeing even snapshots of her dying was a difficult sight to watch.
