How I Met Your Father Theory: Future Sophie Already Spoiled Her Twist Ending
WARNING! This article contains spoilers for HIMYF episode 8.
While HIMYM’s finale came as a shock to many viewers, Future Sophie may have already spoiled her twist ending for How I Met Your Father. In both Ted and Sophie’s stories, viewers anxiously await not only the identity reveals of the title characters, but also the answer for how their relationships end. While it was suspected that Ted and Tracy, who was revealed as the mother in HIMYM’s season 8 finale, did get married and have kids, the original series’ ending showed that she had died six years prior to the title story, with Ted getting back with Robin in the end. Although the controversy of HIMYM’s finale suggested How I Met Your Father would play Sophie’s ending in a more straightforward manner, it seems the spinoff has already proven this wrong.
In reimagining HIMYM’s storytelling formula, How I Met Your Father introduced several twists to how Future Sophie would be telling her son the long tale. The first major change was that How I Met Your Father shows Future Sophie onscreen while leaving the identity of her son unseen, whereas HIMYM depicted Ted’s kids listening to the story while Future Ted was unseen. How I Met Your Father’s premiere ended with another twist, as Sophie revealed the exact night she met her son’s dad–any man from that night, including Jesse, Sid, and Charlie, is a candidate. With it being more than likely that How I Met Your Father viewers have already met the dad, it seemed that the spinoff would just be a story of how Sophie went from meeting the father to actually ending up with him.
