2020: Ted, The Mother, Marshall and Lily are watching "Robots vs. Wrestlers". Ted and The Mother ''still'' haven't gotten married, though it's clear they're happy together; life has just gotten in the way. Barney comes with "sad" news. He sets it up by saying he wanted to one-up "The Perfect Week"--where he slept with a different woman every day for a week--with "The Perfect Month". He even wrote a new playbook to get the job done. Just one problem: Girl #31 got pregnant. Barney is devastated that this has happened, but even the spirit of Jim Nantz won't give him advice. He laments that this has ruined him entering his "Clooney years" without such a commitment. The Mother jokingly asks where they're registered.
2021: Ted tells Penny, his daughter with The Mother, about the Goliath National Bank Building, and they meet Robin by chance on the street. Penny recognizes Robin as the "bus lady", since she's seen on all the [=WWN=] ads. Later, Ted is at the hospital with Lily and Marshall, and tells them about meeting Robin. Lily laments her missing another big moment: the birth of Barney's child. Barney comes in, wearing scrubs over his suit; "Girl #31" won't let him in the delivery room. The nurse comes in and says the newborn baby is a girl, and the others insist Barney go back to meet her. When he holds the child, Ellie, Barney declares the child is the love of his life, and decides to dedicate himself to raising her. What he once told women as a lame attempt to bed them, he says to Ellie with different meaning and complete sincerity.

* {{Deconstruction}}: The entire finale can easily be viewed as a deconstruction of a HUGE number of tropes, from tv shows to character tropes to audience reactions. It is so biting with how RealityEnsues that it is a main reason why the GrandFinale was so controversial, all along the irony of the episode name "Last Forever." A brief rundown goes as follows:
** After so much time and effort with building Robin and Barney together and spending a season on a "legendary" wedding, their marriage lasted only three years because of fundamental differences they ignored, Robin's MarriedToTheJob and Barney had abandoned so many of his own interests to be with her that he had nothing to do. There is also significant {{foreshadow}}ing in retrospect that their relationship will not end well, with them riding off the belief that just because they love each other it will work out. Most weddings tend to be amazing but the success rate remains the same.
** After they divorce, Barney goes back to his womanizing ways and it is fully depicted as pathetic. His excuse for reverting after so much CharacterDevelopment is THE SAME excuse after his first relationship with Robin, that if he couldn't make it work with her there was no one else who could make it work. It also runs on the precept that characters can grow but they are still fundamentally the same person, changing that makes them someone else entirely. Him eventually fathering a child is the most logical end point for a man who has had as many sexual partners as he has.
** After they divorce, Robin's job takes her away from the city for long periods of time and whenever she visits the old gang, all she sees is her ex-husband picking up random skanks and two sets of friends being HappilyMarried with their own families. Seeing Ted with Tracy, Robin feels that choosing Barney over him was a mistake and missed out on real happiness by rejecting Ted. She spent several years estranged from the group before reconciling during Ted and Tracy's marriage.
** Marshall passes on a prestigious judgeship offer to give Lily a chance to fulfill her dream of working in the artistic field. He justifies it saying things will work out eventually. They do, but it takes several years and he had to suffer as a corporate lawyer once more before things start going their way. Lily appreciates the sacrifice but regrets being a part of why he is miserable now. Plus she takes Robin leaving the group the hardest, being one of her closest female friends.
** Ted meets Tracy, the love of his life and the mother of his children. They were absolutely perfect for each other, but their history isn't exactly a fairy tale as their engagement lasted years because of Ted being a stickler for the perfect wedding and Tracy getting pregnant with their daughter Penny around the same time of their first wedding date, with Luke following soon after. Tracy ended up dying from an unspecified illness, leaving this perfect couple able to be together for 11 years. True love and a happy relationship doesn't always last forever. The final shot of the series is Ted reconsidering his love for Robin, as despite everything he went through to be happy with Tracy that doesn't mean he doesn't still love Robin in some way.
** In a sense, the idea that there only one for you out there that both Ted and The Mother believe so deeply ends up taking a toll on them.

In the alternate ending, which begins with Lily's wedding toast on Ted's long and difficult road to happiness. A voice over by Future Ted says that Lily was only half right: while it was long (possibily really, really long), it was not difficult - in life, things happened. Things will fall apart, things will get fixed (Here, Barney and Robin are shown smiling at each other, a possible suggestion that they have reconciled). And when Ted wakes up next to Tracy everyday (hinting that Tracy is still alive in 2030), he is amazed by how easy everything was. He recounts, through flashbacks to all the events in the series that led to their meeting. Following this, the sequence of the actual meeting is shown. When Ted and Tracy say "Hi", Future Ted says, "See? Easy. And that, kids, is how I met your mother."
