- Warning: There are spoilers ahead for season two of Hulu's "How I Met Your Father."
- The second season includes cameos from stars like Meghan Trainor, Mark Consuelos, and more.
Neil Patrick Harris returns as Barney Stinson on the season two premiere of "HIMYF."
At Sid (Suraj Sharma) and Hannah's (Ashley Reyes) wedding party at Pemberton's, Sophie (Hilary Duff) recaps her recent experiences. "I blew it with three guys in 48 hours and now I am doing the electric slide," she tells Valentina (Francia Raisa). "I think this is my rock bottom."
Then the show cuts to future Sophie (played by Kim Cattrall), who tells her off-screen son, "I was wrong. Rock bottom wouldn't come until later that year."
In a flash-forward, young Sophie is seen frantically on the phone while driving a car.
"Mom, please call me back. I think I'm dating my mom," she says, just before she accidentally bumps the car in front of her.
As Sophie gets out of her vehicle to assess the damage, viewers can see that the impacted car has a license plate that reads "LGNDRY," an obvious nod to Barney Stinson's often-used word on "How I Met Your Mother."
An irritated Barney emerges from the front seat, wearing a suit (obviously), and says "Dude..." as his bumper falls off.
Back to the future, Sophie's off-screen son asks who it is, and she teases, "We'll get there soon enough."
This marks the second major cast member to appear on the "HIMYM" spin-off series, following Cobie Smulders' return as Robin Scherbatsky on the season one finale.
Singer Meghan Trainor guest stars on episode two as Sophie's upstairs neighbor who experiences early labor.
Trainor's character, Ramona, hires Sophie to photograph her home birth.
She also tasks Sophie with setting up the birthing tub since she claimed to have experience with documenting home births, which was a lie.
Regardless, Sophie helps Ramona deliver her baby.
"Saturday Night Live" alum Garrett Morris has a small role on episode two as a man named Julian.
When Ellen (Tien Tran) hosts an impromptu gathering to get the attention of her crush named Rachel (Aby James), they attract random building residents like Julian and his friend Maury (David Weisenberg), who moved in together when their wives died 27 years ago.
"MADtv" star Michael McDonald and comedian Jessica St. Clair play a wealthy couple on episode three.
Warren and Megan buy Sophie's photo of Jesse and insist that they have dinner at their penthouse for dinner to hear more about the art.
It's later revealed that Warren is actually a prominent leader in the men's rights movement who sees Jesse as the "perfect example of the American male," hence why he was interested in the photo.
Meanwhile, Megan is the former mayor of Baltimore who ditched politics to be subservient to Warren.
Morgan Smith, who had roles on shows like "Veep" and played Red in a series of Wendy's commercials, guest stars on episode three.
She plays an awkward woman who Charlie (Tom Ainsley) meets on a dating app.
Charlie begs Sid and Hannah to go on a double date with them to ease his nerves around a one-on-one date with Alice.
"The Middle" star Eden Sher plays Sophie and Valentina's old friend from college named Deirdre on episode four.
They call her Pathetic Deirdre because they viewed her as lame and would initiate hangouts with her to get ego boosts.
In reality, Deirdre actually used Sophie and Valentina to feel better about herself.
Alexis Denisof reprises his "HIMYM" role as news anchor Sandy Rivers.
On "HIMYF," he's an anchor for the WWN show "Good Day Live. He covers the entertainment beat and says he was "demoted because of some unproven accusations."
At the start of episode five, Sandy interviews Meredith Jones (Leighton Meester) and Jesse ahead of her sold-out concert in Long Island.
On episode five, Mark Consuelos and Constance Marie guest star as Juan and Raquel, Valentina's parents.
Sophie adores Val's parents, who she describes as sweet, funny, attractive, and "madly in love."
They live in Massapequa, Long Island, and are successful real estate agents who have repeatedly tried to set Val up on dates.
Val's parents try to set up Sophie with a guy named Oscar, played by "Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan" actor Victor Rasuk.
Oscar owns an escrow company and Sophie goes on a date with him during episode six.
"Gilmore Girls" actor Rose Abdoo guest stars on episode six as Ellen's therapist.
Val, Jesse, and Sophie ask Ellen to get advice from her therapist, Dr. Dominguez, on their individual problems.
Judy Sheindlin, more commonly known as Judge Judy, guest stars as herself on episode six.
After Charlie gets swindled into buying a bad-tasting flavored rosé for Pemberton's, Ellen suggests that he and Sid add a celebrity name to the bottle to entice customers.
They choose Judge Judy, calling it Judy Juice, and she shows up at the bar to confront Charlie and Sid about using her likeness without her permission.
