Even after the embarrassing breakup with Meredith, Jesse longed to return to her until Sophie’s arrival in his life. In Sophie, Jesse finds a very compatible companion, which increases his expectations. When Sophie confronts him about his love for her, Jesse gets overwhelmed.

Jesse may accept Meredith’s offer to join her in the tour, setting the stage for Christopher Lowell to potentially leave the show. However, neither Hulu nor Lowell has released any statements regarding Jesse’s supposed departure. According to co-creator Elizabeth Berger, there is a possibility that Jesse will consider his reunion with Meredith a mistake, leading him to deal with the consequences of his actions. Even if he decides to give Meredith a second chance, Jesse may need to work on the hurt he has been suffering for a long time before starting a musical expedition with her.

Considering the fact that Jesse and Meredith’s relationship isn’t carved in stone, we may see him emotionally conflicted in the second season. Since Jesse possesses considerable scope as a character, he is likely to be part of the sophomore season. Considering these factors and possibilities, we believe that Christopher Lowell will be in ‘How I Met Your Father’ season 2. We may see Jesse dealing with the repercussions of his reunion with Meredith while struggling to accept Sophie’s potential relationship with Ian. Jesse and Sophie may even consider being friends to continue extending their support to each other.
