She is in jeans, with long brunette hair and a patterned shirt. There is no reason for that 'bump' to be in the episode at all, it doesnt play into any of the other jokes or storylines. My money is that is the Mother. in that episode Ted is walking toward the bar at one point and he bumps into this chick and says 'oh sorry' and she goes 'dont worry about it' or something similar.

We should all know by now that very little happens in this show for no reason. I wonder however if they already have Ted's wife cast? Perhaps they will super-impose the new actress into a flashback of that scene from St. Patty's Day, (like they did with Brittany Spears when she confronts Lily about Barney.)

In "No Tomorrow" he bumps into a random woman, then they share a meaningful stare and say sorry. And he said that she was at that party as well...! Spoiler ;] I hope victoria isn't the mother.. She's hot but it doesn't seem dramatic enough. Also, they have to wrap this show up within the next few seasons because Teds getting older and his kids look about 18 / 20 anyway, so he's got to knock someone up pretty soon. God I love this show though, Its clever and funny, unlike fraiser.. which tries to be both and fails pretty horrificly. Only pain is I reckon it's gonna be into early 2010 that we see HIMYM return, because of the pregnancies, and maternity leave blah blah blah. Personally, I think the mother has already been shown.
