Mordecai and Margaret do have a history, but Mordecai admitted that for the most part, he's gotten over her. "I don't have feelings for her, but I do in a way?" He's had a good amount of time to recover from Margaret's departure, and as a result, he still misses her occasionally, but in general he's been able to move on. He's not the same person desperate enough to take Margaret's sweater to her. He's built up a close, natural relationship with CJ, and as far he knows (or at least the show wants us to believe), Margaret is not coming back. CJ is still above it all, but she's fun-loving and does a better job with having a developed personality and truly connecting to other characters. While I'm sure Margaret and CJ's fight in Mordecai's hallucination will come to play soon, for now, it's clear that Mordecai and CJ are the important couple now.

Not that Margaret is lost cause, though. Rigby did not say Margaret was less cool but that CJ was way cooler than Margaret, which doesn't suggest he meant Margaret was flat-out uncool. And there was a history between her and Mordecai, so anyone can tell the show probably has plans to bring Margaret back for at least an episode to shake things up. I support CJ more than Margaret, but at the end of the day, the show just needs to be careful with pulling off this love triangle if that's the direction they're heading in. I don't want CJ to be a ploy; they've given her too much effort to do something like that. But I get the feeling the finale of this season is going to be a doozy...
