"How I Met Your Mother" Season 9, Episode 7 ("No Questions Asked") shows the gang on a Friday night, merely 42.5 hours before the wedding. Ted Mosby's kids are back, and they're listening to dad tell the story of how Uncle Marshall told Aunt Lily he has accepted a New York City judgeship post. Meanwhile, Robin and Barney agree to show their belief in marriage by helping a man keep a secret from his wife.

Cristin Milioti has earlier spoken about another lovely scene with Ted Mosby. This is expected to be another flash forward scene. But viewers don't get to see this sweet "return" until November. Who will the mother meet next?

How I Met Your Mother Season 9, Episode 7: Secrets in 'No Questions Asked' Favours

This How I Met Your Mother episode gives viewers something they didn't know about Lily, Ted, Robin, and Barney. Each of them has asked Marshall to do a no-questions-asked favour. Now it's payback time.

Marshall collects from his friends some you-owe-me-one favours, "no questions asked" style. HIMYM viewers are now wondering, who are Night Falcon Robin's secret cosplay friends?

Meanwhile, Robin talks to Barney about the two of them acting like lone wolves in separate worlds - even in the midst of wedding planning. The unnaturally squeezed in subplot tells the viewers more issues will be dug up in next episodes.

But in the meantime, secrets come out. How many times exactly has Marshall been jailed? HIMYM fans might never find out. 'No Questions Asked' was written by Stephen Lloyd and directed by Pamela Fryman.

'The Return of the Mother' Teased, Cristin Milioti and Josh Radnor Scenes Coming Up Next Week?

For a quick moment in the episode, viewers got to see Robin in her wedding dress. The bride, joined by Barney and Ted, is supposedly greeting the guests outside the church just right after the ceremony. No sighting of Cristin Milioti again, however.

But "the return of the mother" is now being hyped. Viewers heard the announcement in the latest episode sneak preview. In the same episode, Robin will try to beat Loretta Stinson in some breakfast eggs competition. Now things could be picking up in HIMYM, after some low moments.

The clip below gives HIMYM fans a sneak peek into How I Met Your Mother Season 9, Episode 8: "The Lighthouse."

The wedding anticipation seems to be dropping among viewers of How I Met Your Mother Season 9. The latest episode pulled in only 7.6 million total viewers and a 2.9 rating, reports TV Line. Perhaps next week's episode with Cristin Milioti will supercharge things for the sitcom. HIMYM airs Mondays on the U.S. channel CBS.
