'How I Met Your Mother''s ninth and final season bought itself a bit of good will this week with "The Lighthouse," but the year is far from over. That said, it looks like the 'HIMYM' gang will give us exactly what we've been missing with next Monday's "Platonish," taking Ted, Marshall, Lily, Robin and Barney back to New York and MacLaren's in flashback, as seen in the latest photos and clip!

Longtime fans of the series may need to gird themselves however, as Ted and Robin will once again be the focus of the story, as the gang contemplates their relationship over the years. Meanwhile, Barney will take on an escalating series of dares (as he does), while Marshall seems strangely absent from the proceedings, judging by the above clip and below photos. And hey, did we mention the Bryan Cranston?

Says CBS of HIMYM's latest:

IN A FLASHBACK EPISODE, THE GANG PONDERS THE FUTURE OF THE TED, ROBIN AND BARNEY LOVE TRIANGLE, ON THE FINAL SEASON OF “HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER,” MONDAY, NOV. 11

Bryan Cranston Guest Stars as Hammond Druthers, Ted’s Former Boss

“Platonish” — In a flashback episode, the gang ponders the future of the Ted, Robin and Barney love triangle. Meanwhile, Barney accepts a series of challenges from Lily and Robin, on the final season of HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER, Monday, Nov. 11
