I don't cry very often. And usually the idea of crying during a sitcom episode is one of the worst things that could happen. But when I listen to Cristin Milotti sing "La Vie en Rose" at the end of this episode, the tears are streaming down my face. Every time. And I *still* believe that this is the show's finest episode.
For me, this is when Ted met the mother. The rest of the show's final episodes (especially that ghastly finale) do not exist. If you're watching HIMYM on a binge-watch, consider this the finale and stop here. All you will miss is a heaping helping of disappointment. Save yourself. End on this sweet, funny, poignant, romantic, and generally awesome high note.
