I'm pretty sure Margaret will return at some point, although I'm thinking (Or hoping, more like it) that it won't be in a way everybody thinks she will. Maybe she'll come back from a break or something to visit Mordecai and ultimately ends up becoming friends with CJ during her stay. It would be very interesting to see them enjoy each other's company rather than fighting over who gets to be Mordecai's girlfriend. Not to mention, both characters could easily get some character development out of it, seeing as they would probably have to go through something dramatic/endure a weird situation together along the way. I know it sounds kind of far-fetched, but when it comes to Regular Show, I try to have an open mind. If the creators notice a lot of fans discussing how they think Margaret and CJ are going to fight, they'll probably storyboard something completely different in order to entertain us and keep our interest. For example, in New Year's Kiss, a lot of people seemed to think Margaret would come back, and she didn't. Instead, we were thrown a major curveball, and I wouldn't be surprised if another one got lobbed at us at some point.

If Margaret does come back, though, I don't think it will be for a while. In the most recent comic con panel, when the creators were asked when Margaret was going to return, their answer was something like: "In four years? She'd be done with college by then." This pretty much proves that even some of Regular Show's biggest fans won't always be able to predict what is going to happen in the series. I wouldn't be surprised if J.G. and the crew hadn't even thought of having Margaret and CJ get into a fight over Mordecai. If a brawl ever would break out between the two, I'd like to think it would be over something other than who gets to be Mordecai's love interest. For all we know, the hallucination scene in Survival Skills might have been what Mordecai thought was going to happen because he wasn't in his right mind after eating tree bark. Who's to say it was foreshadowing a future event?

Honestly, I miss Margaret. I know a lot of people thought she was a bland character, but I appreciated how much she meant to Mordecai. With CJ, I feel as though she's more of a friend to Mordecai because of how much she acts like him. I'm not saying that's a bad thing; I think she might just have a little too much in common with him. Be that as it may, I like her character, and I don't want her to be shoved aside just because Margaret might decide to come back from college. At this point, I'm just happy that Mordecai's happy.
