Fox studios confirmed that Brit will indeed be hitting HIMYM one more time to reprise her role as the ditzy assistant Abby in an episode airing May 12th (sweeps, much?!). "'We're all so thrilled to have Britney joining us once again,' HIMYM boss Craig Thomas said. 'And just to head it off at the pass this time around: Yes, Mom, Britney's very nice and no, I can't get her autograph for you.' They begin shooting today. What's the ep about? Well, according to Fox: In 'Everything Must Go,' Barney and Abby realize that they have one thing in common: their mutual hatred of Ted. The new 'couple' decides to go to the bar to flaunt their new relationship in Ted’s face. Desperate to get a rise out of his former pal, Barney pops a surprising question to Abby.'"
