‘How I Met Your Mother’ Season 8 Spoilers: October Breakup Month Is Here! What To Expect From ‘The Pre-Nup’
The "How I Met Your Mother" breakup month has finally arrived! Executive producer Craig Thomas previously released some spoilers for season eight of the hit CBS sitcom, and now fans will finally see the teasers come to life.
On Monday night Barney will kick off the relationship blood bath on "How I Met Your Mother" with episode two of season eight, "The Pre-Nup." The episode will find Barney putting together a pretty extensive (and bound to be ridiculous) pre-nup for Quinn. Working on the pre-nup with Marshall and Ted, the three of them pitch their "relationship amendments" to their significant others...and it doesn't go too well. Quinn is "outraged" over Barney's pre-nup and decides to make one of her own, resulting in a "friction between the sexes."
"The Pre-Nup" episode was hinted at earlier this summer when Thomas told Entertainment Weekly to expect a "Neil Patrick Harris 'tour de force.'"
"I don't know if you've ever read the crazy stuff online about crazy rich people or crazy celebrity pre-nups, but they have the most insane stuff and they basically use a lawyer to writer their own insanity and biggest fears and most controlling, unflattering tendencies have been written in law," explained Thomas. "There's a very fun story we get to tell about Barneys absolutely insane idea of what he'd want his crazy pre-nup to be. It's going to be a Neil Patrick Harris 'tour de force.' There are crazy fantasies, crazy flash-forwards, and a true 'HIMYM,' insane, hilarious episode."
The latest episode will obviously strain Barney and Quinn's relationship, but will the pre-nup put an actual end to their engagement? Or will Barney and Quinn's romance make it a couple more episodes before crumbling?
Barney and Quinn's relationship isn't the only one on the line this month. Robin and Nick's relationship and Ted and Victoria's relationship is in jeopardy as well. As fans of the series know, Ted and Victoria do not end up together, and Barney and Robin eventually get married.
So which couple will be the first to break off their relationship? Victoria has been confirmed for a multi-episode arc in "How I Met Your Mother," which will probably leave her and Ted's relationship safe for the next couple weeks. With Ted and Victoria presumably "safe" for now, that means Nick, Robin, Barney and Quinn need to watch out for the relationship bloodbath.
"How I Met Your Mother" airs on Monday night on CBS at 8 p.m.
What couple do you think will be the first one to breakup this month?
