* ForegoneConclusion: Unlike Series/HowIMetYourMother, we know Sophie's future husband is going to be one of the characters from episode 1. We just don't know which one it is.

* WhamEpisode: The fifth episode has one in the form of Jesse, [[spoiler:after it was outed that the girl he was dating (an activist) in the episode had slept with his sister Ellen, Jesse screams how he's willing to put up with a female activist making a bomb threat because he finds being single vexing and that he should be with Sid and Hannah in their trip upstate (they opted to take Sophie because she's in a relationship with Drew). Ellen gives this ArmorPiercingQuestion: "Because you miss being with Sid and Hannah or... because you want to be with Sophie". While Jesse answers "The first one", Valentina and Charlie sound surprised and don't sound reassured when Jesse gives his answer.]]
