We will meet the mother in season 5

Super-fan Rachel wrote in to tip me off that Carter Bays recently told TV Squad that “Ted and the mother will be in the same room together in the season premiere.” Now before you get all in a kerfluffle, let’s rehash how devious Bays can be.

Scenario 1: The camera pans out over the class Ted teaches at university and Saget’s voice says “little did I know your mother was in that class.” That’ll have fans analyzing the sea of faces for years to come.

Scenario 2: We cut to the children and Future Ted. Somewhere offscreen we hear the mother’s voice. Remember, Carter didn’t say past Ted and the mother would be in the same room. Total bait and switch, classic Bays.

That’s my theory anyway. What do you guys think?
