If you haven't watched tonight's finale, please back away from the computer. If you have, feel free to read on.
The episode begins with Marshall and little Marvin making plan to visit his mother back in Minnesota. Apparently, Marshall and Lily had yet to tell mama Erikson that they were moving to Rome for a few years, so they had to go away for a little visit. While Marshall and the baby are away, Lily is left to spend time with Ted and in the meantime, see his newly finished house in Westchester. When visiting the house, looks like Ted is planning on selling the place, as Lily finds a For Sale sign in the study that we have been watching the kids sit in for the last eight years. Turns out, Teddy Westside is movie to Chicago. Surprise!
While this is all going on, Barney and Robin, about to get married, are out for a celebratory dinner when they run into an obnoxious couple played by Michael Key and Casey Wilson. "They have always been our arch enemies. Only now did they reveal themselves." Basically, they are the most annoying couple in the world and stole Barney and Robin's favorite table. So now the almost-married couple are plotting revenge by breaking up the obnoxious people. Plan: plant an engagement ring in Kristen's (Wilson) champagne. And it succeeds. Until it doesn't. Turns out that the couple actually decide to get married. Womp womp.
In order to convince Ted that he is making a big mistake by moving to Chicago, Lily pulls on his heartstrings. She is basically saying that his wife will be in New York, not in Chicago. He has to wait for them so that he and his future wife and Marshall and Lily can all hang out together. Of course, Ted is not so convinced by this. And it is made obvious pretty soon that he is leaving because Robin and Barney are going to be getting married. Turns out, Ted felt something last episode as he helped Robin dig up her "something old." He knows his feelings are too big for her, and just has to leave.
New plot twist: Marshall has been accepted to be a judge! This is sure to put a damper on the Rome plans. In order to accept the job, he would have to stay in New York.
Flashback time: Robin did the same thing when Ted was going to marry Stella. That's why she was going to Japan. She then took the locket way back then, hence why she couldn't find it last week. Robin was just too drunk to remember. Looks like the locket is still with Ted. Lily tells him to be careful giving the locket back, as it might bring back too many feelings.
And it is wedding day folks! Ranjit picks up the wedding couple, Marshall still hasn't told Lily about the judge appointment. Everybody just looks ready to go. And then we see boots walking up, holding a bass case and a yellow umbrella. We see that it is a brunette woman, but hey, we did already gues she would be brunette. AND THEN WE SEE HER. AND SHE TALKS! THE MOTHER IS REVEALED! And will be played by the musical Once's Cristin Milioti.
