later, in "girls versus suits", ted dates cindy, not knowing that her roommate is his future wife. throughout the episode, ted notes that cindy had spent most of their first date talking jealously about her roommate. when in cindy and the mother's apartment he picks up many of the mother's belongings, attempting to show how compatible he and cindy are (thinking the items are cindy's) and glimpses the mother's foot as she disappears into her room after taking a shower. ted finds out at this time that she plays bass guitar in a band. ted forgets to take the yellow umbrella with him when he goes out and future ted mentions, "this is how your mother got her yellow umbrella back." in "how your mother met me", it is revealed that, after ted left the apartment, the mother had discovered the umbrella and, upon going to question cindy, finds her crying. as the mother tried to console her, cindy kissed her, revealing that her jealousy towards her roommate was actually a crush. while this incident made cindy realise that she is a lesbian, it also made the mother decide to go back into dating, as the kiss was her first in a long time.
