The finale was divisive to say the least.
Even though it wasn't explicitly stated by Hannigan, a version of the sitcom Where Marshall reveals what really happened could be taken as a corrective to the divisive How I Met Your Mother Finale in that Ted Mosby (Josh Radnor) ends up with Robin Scherbatsky (Cobie Smulders) at the urging of his grown children. This happens after Tracy McConnell (Christine Miliotti) died of a terminal illness.
