[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ted tells his mom he has been seeing the therapist. I don’t think we needed to see the details of the sessions this season for her to be included in the finale.

I also disagree that we don’t know why Ted went home. He went home to his son as fully explain in the episode with his mom, not his ex wife. [/quote]

Also, I believe in one of the last episodes, he tells Rebecca he has something to tell her.  It’s very much implied that he will be telling her he’s leaving.  We don’t have to have everything spelled out for us - in fact, I prefer it that way.

Side note - I didn’t realize Ted had been away for three years!!  That’s a very long time to be separated from a young child, even with visits.[/quote]

They were intentionally tricky about it though. In the penultimate episode, it ends with Rebecca coming to his office and saying "it's that time of year where I come and tell you something important, but I have nothing" and then Ted tells her he has something, and it's implied that he's going to say he's leaving but they don't show it.

Then the finale begins with Rebecca watching TV and Ted wandering in and you are supposed to go "wait, did they sleep together?" And then they reference him leaving without saying that's what it is ("are you ready to talk about it?") and then they dive into the episode where it's like everyone knows Ted AND Beard are leaving, though we never saw Ted tell Beard he wanted to go home or Beard express feelings about it one way or another.

I'm all for ambiguity and leaving some things to the imagination, but I think it's a problem when I don't even understand the sequence of events or how characters feel about it. Did he tell Beard first? Was Beard immediately like "ok, let's go" or was there a discussion. And when did he tell the team? They all know but it's unclear how.

I think it's weird how much they hid the ball on that one.[/quote]
