The first 95% of this episode is pretty average for this series. The doppleganger thing has always been a forced joke. The baby troubles were starting to drag. Sandy Rivers is a distraction. The flashbacks to Robin's past were a bit of a giggle. And Marshall coming out of the hospital knowing that they can have a baby is a good feeling for the regular viewers rooting for the characters.
And then, it bites, HARD! But if you didn't like this episode you shouldn't be watching.
The big thing about this series is that we get to see the highs and lows of their lives. If you don't suffer their lows you don't deserve to enjoy their highs. And if the next episode doesn't make you cry just as hard as the last 30 seconds of this one, then you are an emotionless freak who doesn't deserve to own a TV.
