One of my main criticisms about How I met your father is that they don't want to leave anyone of the main characters behind; so, usually a lot is happening in an episode and it feels chaotic. Now we can see a lot of main characters and actors in the series: Sophie, Jesse, Valentina, Sid, Charlie, Ellen, Future Sophie, Future Son and Hannah! And almost always everyone gets a scene and a story line in an episode. As a consequence, some relationships and scenes keep being dull and not well-developed. Two examples of that would be the whole Ellen's girl friend story and Jesse's attempt to get laid.
Until this episode Sophie and Val's performance as best friends seems to be off. They sure seem like friends but not best friends, at least not yet. But all of the boys have good and believable chemistry with each other.
What I didn't like the most in this episode was the whole Val and Swish story. Not believable and not even funny.
Overall, it wasn't a good episode but it wasn't bad either.
