Next on ‘How I Met Your Mother’: The Rough Patch

Uh-oh! Times get tough on “The Rough Patch,” the brand-new November 9 episode of CBS’ How I Met Your Mother.

Apparently, things aren’t going so swell in Barney and Robin’s relationship. So, what are friends to do?

How about what Ted and Marshall decide, which is to ask Lily for help breaking up the couple. Huh?! Maybe guest star Alan Thicke (Growing Pains) will lighten up that puzzling plot a bit.

Check out the promo for “The Rough Patch” below. It looks like the episode will be extra meaty.

How I Met Your Mother airs Mondays on CBS at 8pm ET.
