With the much anticipated season 9 of "How I Met Your Mother" premiering last week, fans are awaiting the third episode with the same eagerness as the first back-to-back season premiere, which featured both episode one and two. Fans who have not had access to a television have gone on to watch "How I Met Your Mother" online (where you can watch it again and again and again...).

Recap

The Mother finally crosses paths with one of the cast members-Lily, who is on the same train with her. She offers cookies to Lily-deliciously named 'sombitches- and the pair bond over the rest of the train ride, with Lily ranting about Ted and attempting to bite the Mother at one point.

Marshall meanwhile stays true to his Minnesota manners and puts his trust in a woman he had argued with (and gotten thrown off the NY flight with), and they set off on a roadtrip to New York together.

Meanwhile, Ted and his driving gloves go around flash-backing and apparently still having feelings for Robin. It is revealed that he had gone to LA to retrieve the locket Robin had wanted to be married in, despite Lily forbidding him to.

The spouses-to-be Barney and Robin- who at first discover a horrifying possibility of their being related after speculating which crazy relatives will ruin the service- show signs of being seriously committed to each other as Robin helps Barney deal with his brother James' divorce.

The season 9 premiere ends as Ted flash-forwards to exactly a year later, where he and the Mother are together.
