Here's my two cents.

If the mother is dead, and let's say she died of a disease (cancer, etc.), Ted may very well go from being the most hated character to the most lovable character on the show. If in fact she developed this disease after giving birth to the kids and died close to the time they were born, it shows that Ted stayed with her no matter what when he knew of her condition ( and probably never remarried), and is telling the story to his children and the good times before and after meeting their mother.

I only theorize about this because I know a few people in the real world that have gone through this problem and it shows how strong of people they are. Hopefully this isn't the case with this show, but it would make for some depressing shite.

THE END

I loved this episode. All the complaints I'm reading is about how it's a filler episode well what the frick do you expect at this point? With a set plot (with the ending of the plot being the show's title) it's kinda hard to digress from what they have now. Just enjoy the show for what it is.

What I loved about the episode is how classic it felt, with the Marshall/Robin shenanigans, no Marvin, Barney wanting to do something childish yet awesome....and then for it to go back to reality and show how in real life, shite moves on, and Ted is getting pretty old for a single dude. It may not have "moved the plot forward," but it's as good and on topic as a "filler episode" will get.
