Yeah, Mordecai's come a long way from the guy who'd let hell freeze over before allowing an embarrassing voice message of himself to get out. That scene at the end where he causally jokes with his loved ones before playing the tape must have been comparable to him moving a mountain character wise. I still can't get over how well they executed the message in this one. It could have so easily been a "parents have feelings too" storyline but they went beyond that. Everyone has moments they're not proud of, it's part of being human. But paraphrasing the adorable little spectre Mordecai near then end; they'll only define you if you let them. What a powerful, adult message to put in a kids show.
