Relationship with TedEdit

Season 5Edit

Cindy is a PhD student that entered into college with a scholarship, and lives with Ted's future wife, whom she resents for stealing all her boyfriends. She first appears in the season five episode Girls Versus Suits, where she and Ted date, but Cindy ultimately breaks up with him due to Cindy being a student, and Ted a lecturer. Ted tries to get back together with her in the same episode. As he tries to convince Cindy that their paths are meant to cross, he picks out items from her room which show how much they have in common. Cindy reveals that all three objects are really connected to her roommate. Frustrated that Ted is already more compatible with her roommate, Cindy tells him to leave and stays mad at him for a while.

Season 6Edit

She reappears in Big Days , at MacLaren's bar and Ted is afraid she is still mad at him. Before she arrives, Ted sees a girl sitting at the bar, he wants to start talking to her but is afraid. He sees Cindy talking to her and assumes she was Cindy's roommate (the mother) and remembers that the stuff in Cindy's room that belonged to her roommate indicated she was the perfect girl. When Cindy spots Ted, she tells him she was really mad at him for a long time but she realized that they both wanted different things. She says she's happy and she wants to thank him somehow, Ted suggests to introduce himself to one of her friends and she says sure. Later on, Ted is about to make moves on Cindy's friend when Cindy kisses her. Future Ted says that that girl wasn't their mother after all, but she ended up being someone else's mother, with Cindy.

She later gets married to the girl she kisses in the bar and they have a daughter.
