'How I Met Your Mother''s ninth and final season took a turn for the better this past week with the heart-heavy "Unpause," but its upcoming 200th installment may give viewers just what they've longed to see: "How Your Mother Met Me!" The landmark episode will see events of the gang's past from the still-unnamed mother (Cristin Milioti)'s perspective, and we've got the first photos of returning guest stars and more!

"How Your Mother Met Me" will revisit a number of past events from the series history, among them time's we've briefly glimpsed the Mother, or occasions Future Ted implied her to have been around, as with Ted's first architecture class in the wrong classroom. Understandably, also appearing within the installment will be past guest star Rachel Bilson as Cindy, who herself was revealed as the Mother's roommate, after she and Ted briefly dated.

Says CBS of the landmark 'How I Met Your Mother' 200th episode:

ON THE SHOW’S 200TH EPISODE, THE MOTHER RECOUNTS HOW SHE MET TED, ON THE FINAL SEASON OF “HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER,” MONDAY, JAN. 27

Rachel Bilson Returns as Cindy

"How Your Mother Met Me" — On the 200th episode, The Mother recounts how she met Ted and what she’s been up to for the past eight years.

“Our 100th episode was very much a celebration of the cast – not that the cast doesn’t deserve celebrating even more after 200 episodes – but this is a different kind of story,” executive producer Carter Bays told TVLine of the event. “It’s about the tale. It felt like a different kind of 200th episode, but it felt like the right one to do in terms of the greater story of the show.”
