How I Met Your Father S2 Episode 7: Release Date, Recap & Speculation

I’ve never heard of the rule that you share the therapist your friend pays for, but I guess that’s the issue with healthcare options in the US. Sophie uses Ellen’s therapist like her own and then snaps at Jesse and Val when they want to do the same – now that’s going too far. 

But everything works out in the end, and we can strike off Oscar’s name from the potential baby daddy list. Judge Judy’s appearance on the show was hilarious, Val finally got a promotion, and Ellen got her therapist back – what a happy ending! So, what’s next in the upcoming episode of How I Met Your Father?

1. Episode 7 Synopsis/Speculation

The gang recounts their worst Valentine’s Day experiences in order to cheer up Ellen.

As if this week’s episode wasn’t hard enough on Ellen, it seems like the next episode will be the same, if not much worse. I think Ellen and Rachel’s relationship will go awry, leading the group to visit their worst Valentine’s memories to cheer her up.

Ellen hasn’t mentioned Rachel in a while, so that makes sense, so it’ll be interesting to see the gang rehash their bad experiences to convince her it’s not so bad.

And maybe talking about the awful dates might help Jessie and Val realize that Sophie and Charlie are the ones for them. The Valentine-themed episode is late, but it will surely give us some much-needed drama!

5. Episode 7 Recap

Oscar seems great, but the giant diamond necklace puts Sophie off, and she seeks Ellen’s help. But wait, it’s not Ellen’s advice she needs but her therapist’s, and as Ellen didn’t want to disappoint her friend, she obliged. She passes off Sophie’s issues as her own and fails to open up about her own problems.

Valentina’s job pressure makes her hire an assistant, which turns out to be Jesse, and the power of dictating instructions to a superior goes to her head. She ends up being less than kind to Jesse and later apologizes when he points it out. They seek Ellen’s therapist’s help, and once again, Ellen obliges, her need to please the people around her getting out of control.

Sophie dumps more issues with Oscar on the therapist, and the therapist fires Ellen as her client. Oscar dumps Sophie over the necklace he had made from his dead mother’s ashes, Valentina goes to quit and instead gets a promotion, and Jesse goes back to his old job as a music teacher.

Meanwhile, Sid returns after visiting Hannah to see Charlie has bought too much bad-tasting rosé, and they brainstorm how to sell it. Ellen gives the idea of attaching a celebrity’s name to it, and Judy Juice sells so well that Sid orders more. The drink gets Judge Judy’s attention, who bumps their sales after she recommends it on air, and Sophie, Val, and Jesse get Ellen’s therapist to take her back.
