As shenanigans ensue when Sophie\u2019s (Hilary Duff) promiscuous mom, Lori (Paget Brewster), unexpectedly shows up, the show proves that it can deliver a funny and comforting episode.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1032134\" style=\"width: 2038px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1032134\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1032134\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/how-i-met-your-father-episode-5-paget-brewster.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2028\" height=\"1352\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/how-i-met-your-father-episode-5-paget-brewster.jpg 2028w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/how-i-met-your-father-episode-5-paget-brewster-434x289.jpg 434w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/how-i-met-your-father-episode-5-paget-brewster-855x570.jpg 855w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/how-i-met-your-father-episode-5-paget-brewster-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/how-i-met-your-father-episode-5-paget-brewster-234x155.jpg 234w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/how-i-met-your-father-episode-5-paget-brewster-570x380.jpg 570w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2028px) 100vw, 2028px\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-1032134\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Patrick Wymore\/Hulu<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Sophie\u2019s backstory of moving around a lot as a child as her mom went from one relationship to another is too interesting to only be occasionally referenced, and this episode smartly dives straight into it. Sophie\u2019s often a hot mess, but having her mom around sends that into overdrive as she cancels plans with new boyfriend Drew (<em>Drake &amp; Josh<\/em>\u2019s Josh Peck as the dreamy romantic interest he was always meant to be) to meet her mom\u2019s latest boy toy Ash (Mason Gooding), a musician playing in town that night. All of this against best friend Valentina\u2019s (Francia Raisa) sage advice to not once again get caught up in her mother\u2019s drama.<\/p>\n<p>One thing that really works about this episode is that Valentina\u2019s storyline is split from her British boyfriend Charlie (Tom Ainsley). While the show has spent far too much time already on this mismatched couple, we get to explore Valentina and Sophie\u2019s friendship this episode, as Valentina works hard to get her friend to see her mother clearly for the first time. It also frees up Charlie to have some fun of his own. His mission this episode is to try to fix his friends\u2019 emotional problems. As a rich kid trying to make it on his own for the first time and is a little clueless about the world, Charlie often feels like little more than a gimmick. Having him connect with the other characters makes him feel more fleshed out.<\/p>\n<p>What problems is Charlie trying to fix? Well, Sid realizes that the poster with the model on it that he first masturbated to is actually Lori. Meanwhile, Jesse (Chris Lowell) is still traumatized from his failed proposal to his girlfriend (Leighton Meester). Charlie is improbably good at this, as he gets Sid (Suraj Sharma) to confidently buy Lori a drink to assuage his embarrassment, and takes Jesse to the club where he proposed, so that he can finally start to move past it. Of course, after finding out that a career in psychiatry involves many years of schooling, he decides to become a bartender at Sid\u2019s bar so he can listen to people\u2019s problems there\u2013how convenient.<\/p>\n<p>But probably the funniest Charlie moment comes from Ellen\u2019s (Tien Tran) arc, as she meets Rachel (Aby James), a hot woman across the hall attending her grandmother\u2019s shiva. Caught off guard sneaking some tomato slices from the shiva food, Ellen lies and says she was best friends with Rachel\u2019s grandma. Trying to cover up her lie, she asks Charlie, who\u2019s also her roommate, for advice since it turns out he\u2019s actually friends with all the old women in the building. This little detail about Charlie is hilarious, totally in character, and helps him feel more entrenched in the world of the show. While Ellen\u2019s ultimately found out, we\u2019ve hopefully not seen the last of Rachel since she\u2019s moving into her grandmother\u2019s apartment, and seems perfect for Ellen.<\/p>\n<p>The one part of the show I\u2019m still not convinced of is Kim Cattrall as the older version of Sophie. While Sophie expresses vulnerability this episode and has some really good story beats realizing that it isn\u2019t Lori\u2019s boyfriends who treat her badly, but it is Lori herself who creates chaos, Cattrall expresses the opposite in her body language whenever we see her. Her arms are tightly crossed over her chest, distancing her from the audience.<\/p>\n<p>Luckily, Duff carries the character through with a strong performance. After Sophie confronts her mom, she chooses herself for once, and goes to Drew\u2019s to catch the rest of <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a> night. His method of inviting her in by playing charades is so cute, it\u2019s enough to get invested in them as a couple if you haven\u2019t already.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Other_observations_we_thought_made_this_episode_stand_out\"><\/span><strong>Other observations we thought made this episode stand out:<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Jesse defending his drink of choice\u2013a cosmo\u2013is completely endearing.<\/li>\n<li>Leighton Meester is far too big an actress to just have that small cameo, so hopefully we\u2019ll see her again in a more significant capacity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"post-block\" data-skm-boomerang-el-0=\"processed\" data-skm-boomerang-el-9=\"processed\">\n<p><strong><em>How I Met Your Father<\/em>, Tuesdays, Hulu<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
