If that bit of self-referential humour with mentioning the will-they-won’t-they trope was anything to go by, the writers have been paying attention to feedback from the fan-base. You’d think keeping the character’s relationship platonic while leaving possibilities for future romance out in the open is exactly what said trope is all about, buuut maybe I’m being too negative with that.

I think the whole point is they want to rebuild this thing from the bottom up. Instead of starting off with Margaret being an idealistic goal for Mordecai to project his insecurities onto, they’ll just chill as mates until the writers feel ready to progress the relationship. Back to the status quo of seasons 3-4 without the romance maybe. It’s just too bad that CJ had to be written off the show for this (or maybe not, who knows) she would have been a cool character to have around even if she wasn’t in a relationship with Mordecai.
