Legen--wait for it...dary! HIMYM Season 8 Premiere

The gang is back! And we are so much closer into knowing who Ted's kids' mother is.

This episode is all about weddings. And the age-old question (well, just last season's question!) about who Barney is marrying will finally be answered. The bride is... ROBIN!!! Yes, our dear Ted Mosby is Barney's best man to his and Robin Scherbatsky's wedding. Moments before the marriage, however, Robin is having second thoughts and Ted comes to the rescue. Talking some sense to her comes a back story...

Last season, we all thought our resident player, Barney just got engaged to Quinn. Yea, we all thought it was her who's going to marry him! Lily and Marshall had a baby who they named Marvin, after Marshall's deceased father. And Ted got back together with Victoria.

Now things got weird when Robin and Lily were asked by Quinn to be bridesmaids. Aaaand Lily was totally spaced out, she and Marshall could not remember the conversation, even though it was just seconds after Lily and Robin was asked!

After talking to Barney about it, they found out that Quinn doesn't have a clue about Robin and Barney's past. Barney then conspires with Robin, Lily and Marshall to keep their past relationship a secret... but not for long as spaced out Lily and Marshall accidentally let off the secret when Lily blurted it out, not remembering that they invited Quinn to hang at Marvin's room with them. Quinn confronts Barney about it and he explains everything to her in--get this: 52 SECONDS (cue timer)!!! She walks out and talks to Robin about it (note Lily and Marshall were totally clueless that they revealed the secret, not remembering anything because they have never slept since Marvin's birth). Robin assured Quinn that they are not getting back together since she's seeing someone now--Nick (Michael Trucco). Quinn is not convinced until she finally meets Nick (and his abs) and thus confirming to Quinn his relationship with Robin.

As Quinn left Barney and Robin to themselves at McLaren's, the two had a talk about their past. Robin told Barney that although they weren't together anymore, she was kinda hurt that Barney was willing to throw all their memories THAT easy. Barney then gave Robin a key to an address and then left. It happens to be a storage facility unit where he kept all his memories of him and Robin being together, bringing her to tears.

Anyhoos, back to Ted, he and Victoria were riding off to the sunset after leaving her groom at the altar for Ted. We all know Ted was left ages ago by Stella at the altar as well and he told Victoria that she should have left her fiancé, Claus, a note as to why she left. After writing the note, Ted had to deliver the note for Victoria, causing a series of crazy events thereafter. Ted had to climb up the church window to get his car keys after he left it upon leaving Claus the note.

Going back to the church, he then finally meets Claus, who's also running away (climbing down the drainpipe from the church window!) from his wedding to Victoria. He leaves a note, as common courtesy (just like Ted said to Victoria), telling why he didn't went through the wedding. It occurred to Ted that with what Claus did, he can undo what Victoria did by climbing up the drain pipe to the church window and retrieve the note he left for Claus, putting all the blame on Claus and making it seem that he's the one who left Victoria in the first place, not the other way around. He staged it to seem that Victoria left the church because she "read" the note Claus left for her and then climbs down the church window again.

Ted followed Claus to Farhampton and asked him why he left Victoria. He explained that although Victoria is wonderful and is his "lifelong treasure of destiny", he still cannot marry her as she is not what he wanted. The things he said after that, gotta tell you, Claus was right. Though hard to understand with his accent and what not, dude made a seriously good point!

On the last scene, it appears that it is where Ted meets the future mother of his kids.
