How I Met Your Father 1x05 "The Good Mom" Review

We meet Sophie's mom in this episode. She apparently doesn't live in New York, which is interesting. Sophie mentions moving around in her childhood, but I imagined that as being moving around the city. Now I'm wondering if she grew up in a lot of different cities.

It turns out that Sophie's mom as a new boyfriend named Charlie who's actually really nice. After Valentina spots Sophie's mom making out with Charlie's manager, Sophie has to face the fact that it was actually her mother who had ruined her past relationships. That turn of events wasn't hugely surprising, but it does have an effect on Sophie.

I'm wondering how much we'll be seeing her mom in the future.

Charlie still needs a job to actually survive of off, and he decides that he should deal with other people's trauma, starting with Sid and Jesse. This culminates with him being made a bartender in Sid's bar at the end of the episode, and I'm looking forward in seeing how that goes in the future.

Meanwhile, Ellen meets a woman at her grandmother's funeral across the hall when she goes over to steal some food. Ellen pretends to have been the old woman's friend because she likes the woman, but by the end of the episode, she exposes herself, leaving the woman angry. The woman is still apparently going to be living in their apartment building though, so I'm curious if she'll be a recurring character. I'd be excited about a gradual relationship developing between the two of them. Who else is Ellen going to meet that's passionate about produce?
