How I Met Your Father Season 2 Episode 15 Ending: Will Sid Move to Los Angeles or Stay in New York City?
In the fourteenth episode of the second season, Sid comes to know about Hannah’s wish to set up a home in Los Angeles, against their plans to settle in New York City after she completes her residency in the City of Angels. Although he takes a stand against the same, he eventually decides to move to Los Angeles to be with his wife since he wants to do everything he can to resolve the predicament. As a start, he visits Hannah’s hospital and spends his time with her colleagues. However, Sid fails miserably to adapt to the new surroundings, which raises questions concerning his decision to move to the city.
Hannah realizes that Sid cannot live in Los Angeles even if he gives his everything to settle in the city for her. She knows that her husband is a New Yorker through and through and there’s nothing he or she can do to change it. Therefore, instead of letting Sid make a compromise concerning their future, Hannah makes one. She decides to move to New York City so that Sid can live in the city where belongs rather than live miserably in Los Angeles. She makes it clear to him that he shouldn’t worry about “crushing the Los Angeles thing” anymore since she has changed her mind about setting up a new home in the city.
Hannah has an amazing life in Los Angeles. She is working at a reputed hospital and she has appealing colleagues like Eli present in her life that is based in the city. But Hannah loves Sid more than what Los Angeles offers to her. She values Sid’s decision to turn his life around for her by deciding to move to where she wants to set up her future. Now that she realizes Sid cannot do the same, Hannah wants to turn her life around for her husband. Sid has sacrificed a lot for supporting and sharing his life with Hannah, which makes it impossible for her to choose Los Angeles over Sid.
