Sitting alone at a train station in the fictional[1] Hamptons hamlet Farhampton, 10 hours after Barney and Robin's wedding, Ted tells a nearby older woman the story of what has recently happened.
In a flashback to May 2012, future Ted narrates his drive with Victoria, who apparently forgot to leave her fiancé, Klaus, a note stating her decision to run away.
Ted decides to drive back to the church—the same one Barney and Robin's wedding will occur in—and forces her to write a note which he will leave at the bride's room.
As Ted tries to get back in the church, he sees Klaus also escaping and heading to the Farhampton train station, giving Victoria an alibi for her departure.
Returning to the post-wedding flashforward, as Ted reads Love in the Time of Cholera waiting for the train to come in, the future mother arrives as well with a yellow umbrella, but her face is hidden from view.
Club's Donna Bowman said that "the comedy doesn't suffer on account of the many mother-related threads that need to be kept in the weave" and gave the episode a B.
