They did a good job in using the close calls to show that she was developing an interest in Ted even when she wasn't interested in anyone else.
If anything, the episode really raised a tough bar for the writers to hit. They had the challenge of proving to the viewer this season that the mother was worth it for Ted and they've kind of done that. Until yesterday, when they hit that out of the park. After yesterday's episode, it's flipped. Now they have a challenge of proving that Ted is worthy of the mother especially now that he has to measure up to a dead guy. Let's just hope the gimmicks are over. The writers spent a lot of time turning Ted into a bit of a dick. If they're not careful, they might set up an ending where people are disappointed that Ted meets the mother... but this time, it's because of Ted (not because the mother wasn't what they hoped she'd be)
Spoiler!
which is in the air because of the whole Locket and Ted as the wedding wildcard plot lines
