Spoiler!

Yeah it was a reaction shot because they figured out that the children would age out of their roles most likely.

Tonight's a big one -episode 200.

Spoiler!

It's focused entirely on the Mother. The title cards have been changed to feature the Mother, Cindy her roommate (Rachel Bilson), her band-mate Darren from the second to last episode, an unnamed redhead friend and her most "recent" boyfriend Louis (Lou Ferrigno Jr.). Carter Bays says Millioti should get an emmy for this one. They went back and re-adapted scenes from the Pilot to fit Cristin's character in along with making references to events from the last 8 seasons.
