Its Canuck star Cobie Smulders says the new instalment features a parade of homegrown celebs including Geddy Lee, Steven Page and Luc Robitaille, and the return of her goofy ’80s alter ego, singing sensation Robin Sparkles — who displays a much darker side than we’ve ever seen before.
“It’s Robin’s grunge days, which I am definitely more in tune with than the ’80s pop stuff,” Smulders reveals by phone while vacationing at the California ski area Bear Mountain.
“I feel like this is sort of at the tail end of her (music) career. It’s sort of the moment that Robin says, ‘You know what? I don’t want to be Robin Sparkles anymore.’ She’s sort of breaking away from all that and she does that by becoming this character of Robin Daggers, which has a lot of similarities to Alanis Morissette.”

While silly, Smulders says the Canuck-themed episode actually offers a significant leap forward in the long-standing Robin-and-Barney saga.
“It’s nice to have an episode where Robin can see how invested Barney is in this relationship and he acts this way that he would never act and (see) how he’s changed a little bit,” she says.
