In How I Met Your Mother Season 7, Episode 17 ("No Pressure"), viewers learn that Marshall and Lily have an ongoing bet involving Ted and Robin. Marshall bets Ted ends up with Robin. Lily bets their best friends aren't going to make it. Barney finds out about the "longterm bets" when sleuthing for sex tape in the Eriksen's suburbs home. In this same episode, Robin moves out of Ted's apartment to help him get over her. Future Ted thinks of this as a "door closed." But the last lines got fans wondering with excitement:

Lily Aldrin: For Ted's sake, I hate to say this, but... pay up.

Marshall Eriksen: Not yet.

Fast forward to How I Met Your Mother Season 8, Episode 20 ("The Time Travelers"). In this episode, Future Ted tells his kids that he would be meeting the mother in 45 days. This is one of the most critically-acclaimed episodes of the sitcom. Ted and Barney (and their future selves) sing Billy Joel's "The Longest Time" a cappella in this very special episode.

In this HIMYM episode, Future Ted imagines coming up to his future wife's apartment and being knocked out by her Wall St boyfriend. But before he gets sucker punched, Ted tells the mother he would do anything to spend 45 more days with her. This sparked speculations that Ted Mosby eventually becomes a widower. So does the mother die, making Marshall win the bet?

How I Met Your Mother Season 9 spoilers include a wedding, a divorce, and a death at the wedding. The HIMYM premiere will set the non-linear treatment for the entire final season, which is framed by Robin's and Barney's wedding. Avid fans know the mother and Ted meet at the wedding, so who dies? Series co-creators Craig Thomas and Carter Bays wouldn't reveal. Filming has begun for the farewell season and some episode titles have been revealed.
