With only two more episodes remaining before the series finale of How I Met Your Mother, CBS has provided perhaps the biggest clue to date about what fans can expect by releasing the episode's preview photos weeks in advance.

'Vesuvius' Episode Hints Mother's Death?

The photos for The Last Forever Parts I and II seem to refute the constant theories that have been plaguing the series for a while, which claim that the show will end with Ted revealing that the titular mother had died, which would explain why he has been telling his kids the endless story. However, in the series of photographs, the character appears to not only be alive, but quite healthy.

While this isn't necessarily a sign that the mother doesn't die (the show is known for its constant time-traveling into both the past and future), it could mean that fans will get the happy ending they've been hoping for.

Cristin Milioti Calls Fan Theories 'Crazy?'

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter before shooting on the series wrapped, Cristin Milioti, who plays the titular role, also seemed to refute the theories, calling them crazy.
"That's insane," she said. "I know, there's been some crazy conspiracy theories, which actually just makes me really love the fans more, because i'm like..wow...you guys are getting to the bottom of like....something...I don't know, there's such passion there. That is so crazy."

Fans have believed the character would die for several seasons, but the recent episode Vesuvius seemed to hint that the mother wouldn't be around for her daughter's wedding, causing fans to speculate how soon she would die.

The How I Met Your Mother 1-hour Series Finale airs Monday, March 31 at 8 p.m on CBS. . The next new episode, Gary Blauman, airs Monday, March 17.
