Ah, the Robin equivalent of our spinoff! Everything in the reboot tells us that Sophie and Jesse will fall in love. In season one, they gave a romantic relationship a go, but it ground to a halt when Jesse's ex Meredith (Leighton Meester) came back into the picture. Based on the Valentine's Day episode, it seems Jesse isn't the father, but that could just be a misdirect. Or the two could end up together long-term after Sophie has her son.
As Robin once said in "HIMYM," "If you have chemistry, you only need one other thing: timing. But timing's a b*tch." Could that be the case with our lovelorn Jesse here? He was always a strong frontrunner, but it seems "How I Met Your Father" wanted to take a page from the original series's playbook and turn him into a good ol' red herring. Either way, Sophie and Jesse decide at the end of season two to give their romance another try, but fans won't get to see where it evolves from there.
