Margaret

Margaret Smith is a recurring character in ''Regular Show. ''She is Mordecai's ex-girlfriend, though they are still friends. Margaret made her debut in "Caffeinated Concert Tickets" and is voiced by Janie Haddad.

Background
Margaret formerly worked as a waitress at a Coffee Shop with her best friend Eileen, which was across the street from The Park. Mordecai frequently found excuses to go to the coffee shop to see Margaret since he had a huge crush on her, though he was often too embarrassed or shy to ask her on a date. Margaret appeared to reciprocate his feelings, which was hinted at throughout the series. Her feelings are later proven in "Meteor Moves" and expanded on in later episodes. The two begin to date in the fourth season, though she breaks up with him after being accepted to her dream college and is forced to move away. Though both are upset, Mordecai falls into a deep depression and eventually has an unnatural desire to return (and therefore see) a sweater to Margaret that she left behind. When he arrives at the college, and sees Margaret laughing with her new friends, he realizes that she has moved on, and so should he.

Margaret is not seen in the series while away at college. She makes a brief cameo in "Eileen Flat Screen," having become a TV reporter, and moved back to town. Mordecai is not aware of her return until "Merry Christmas Mordecai", when Eileen explains that Margaret is moving in with her.

In "Butt Dial", she became angry after learning that Mordecai tried to remove the embarrassing voicemail he left her that admitted his feelings by hacking into her phone. Once she heard the voicemail, however, she ended up saving it as her ringtone and forgave Mordecai for taking her phone, improving their relationship.

In "Yes Dude Yes", Mordecai became upset when he thought Margaret was engaged to John, who he ended up learning was her cousin. Mordecai then asked Margaret to the movies, forgetting that he had already asked CJ. Near the end of the episode, Margaret showed signs of jealousy, primarily because Mordecai had hung out with and also asked CJ.

In "TGI Tuesday", Margaret showed some signs that she may have feelings for Mordecai. She answered excitedly when Mordecai asked if she wanted to hang out with him, immediately blushing afterwards. She was also embarrassed when she messed up her words while talking to Mordecai on the phone. Afterwards, at Margaret's party, Mordecai and Margaret slow dance, with Margaret laying her head on his chest.

In "Do or Diaper", Margaret got mad at him once again upon discovering that her "date" with Mordecai was only for a bet with Muscle Man. She forgives him after he admits that he likes her, but chooses to let him lose the bet as consequence for accepting such a dumb bet by whispering in his ear: "Have a nice week, diaper boy."

In "Picking Up Margaret", they are being chased by the Wickets. However, she ends up thanking him after they make it to the airport on time and alive. Margaret says that she can always trust him, and that he is always there for her, something she can't say about her other friends. The pair share a kiss at the episode, leaving Mordecai dumbfounded and then overjoyed.

In "Meteor Moves", Mordecai planned to kiss Margaret at Makeout Mountain. Mordecai tries to be alone with her, but Rigby and Eileen get in the way, causing Mordecai to tell Rigby to go somewhere else on the mountain with Eileen so that he can be alone with Margaret. Margaret subsequently tells Mordecai that the reason she doesn't want to leave for college is because she would miss him. Mordecai leans in to kiss her, but the meteor shower starts, causing the pair to be pulled into "The Friend Zone" because of Mordecai's hesitation. Mordecai tells the Guardian of the Friend Zone that he has wanted to kiss Margaret for a long time, and the Guardian relents and gives him another chance. Mordecai then shows his true feelings and kisses her, with the Guardian pronouncing them "out of the friend zone". Mordecai and Margaret are then shown holding hands.

In the end of "Steak Me Amadeus", Mordecai asks Margaret to be his girlfriend, but Margaret tells him that even though what they have is special and that their relationship was the first that could have lead somewhere, she has been accepted into her dream college, Milton University. She declines Mordecai's offer, leaving the restaurant crying and Mordecai heartbroken.

In the episode "Laundry Woes," Mordecai becomes fixated on returning a sweater he found on his laundry to her, despite Rigby's continuous advice to get over Margaret leaving town. When he finally arrives to Milton University, Margaret is seen with her college friends cheerfully talking about school stuff. Realizing she has moved on, Mordecai does the same and discards the sweater, ready to move on, and leaves without noticing that Margaret did look up.

In "Merry Christmas Mordecai", Margaret returns as she is invited to the sweater party, which makes Mordecai nervous since CJ is also coming to the party. They accidentally kiss in the lips from reminiscing after clearing up a misunderstanding, causing a heartbroken CJ to dash back into the car and for Mordecai and Margaret to gaze at each other in a concerned look. When Eileen tells Mordecai that Margaret will be moving in as her new roommate, he is stunned and shocked while Margaret looks on to him.

In "Sad Sax", Mordecai takes advice from the S.S.G (Sad Sax Guy). He invites Margaret to the park so she can talk to CJ girl-to-girl. Margaret says she's sorry about the incident but says she doesn't want to get involved with CJ. Shortly after, Mordecai and Margaret share a friendly hug. Meanwhile CJ drives past, seeing them hugging, and drives away angrily. Margaret then leaves after saying to Mordecai "Sorry Mordecai, I'm gonna go before I make things even worse."

At the end of the episode Mordecai tells CJ that Margaret means a lot to him, and how much he loved her in the past and how sad he was to see her leave. He also states that he doesn't want to lose CJ too, and that he's completely over Margaret, and they're still good friends.

In "1000th Chopper Flight Party", Mordecai is still awkward with her presence and afraid to screw up, even to the point of letting Rigby constantly mess up the Party as a diversion just to keep her away from him. When he finally is declared as the lucky guest to ride Chopper 6 for its 1000th flight, he finds it hard to say no and joins. Margaret tries to talk to him, but Mordecai awkwardly resists until she scolds him for his attitude in desire for their friendship. Mordecai then lifts the tension with a joke and they finally start to have a fun chat.

This however angers CJ, who misinterprets it as them rekindling their love, and she causes havoc with her storm cloud ability. Mordecai tries to save Margaret, but she calms CJ when she reveals that she is in a relationship with news anchor, Del Hanlon, which stuns Mordecai and surprises her parents.

In "Not Great Double Date", she reveals that she still holds feelings for Mordecai, but before she tries to talk to him, he leaves and runs after CJ.

In "Dumped at the Altar", the season 6 finale, Mordecai and CJ 'take a break' after Margaret's feelings are revealed.

In "Just Friends", Rigby and Eileen go to the presentation of martial arts Don therefore Mordecai and Margaret spend a night that coincidentally has romantic moments. A chef named Daisuke shows them their future using magical sauce. It is revealed that if and when Mordecai and Margaret get together, they will get married, have children, and buy their own houseboat, and die peacefully after 50 happy years. Mordecai and Margaret agree that their future looks like it will be really great, but that they are still young and should take it easy on relationships. At the end of the episode, the two agree to remain just friends, with future Margaret looking down on them and inquiring how long they can be just friends, and future Mordecai stating that "only time will tell."

Friends Margaret and Eileen are best friends in the same way that Mordecai and Rigby are. She is close to Eileen and reveals she does solids for her all the time in "Do Me a Solid" including watering Margaret's flowers when she was away with her parents in the episode "Diary". Margaret and Eileen used to work together at the coffee shop until Margaret left town to attend Milton University, which was her dream school. It is unknown how their friendship was during the time that she was away, but at the end of "Merry Christmas Mordecai", we see that they are still friends, and that Margaret has become Eileen's new roommate.

Margaret rarely interacts directly with Rigby, with one exception being "It's Time", when Rigby makes Margaret laugh and almost manages to go to a movie with her, despite it just being an attempt to make Mordecai admit his jealousy. However, it is otherwise implied that Margaret and Rigby are good friends, even though Rigby often teased and made fun of Mordecai for his attempts to get with her even though she didn't display much personality. The first time Margaret interacts with CJ is in the episode "Yes Dude Yes". This is after Mordecai and CJ become good friends when Mordecai believes Margaret is engaged. Margaret is jealous after finding out that Mordecai and CJ had been seeing each other, and both women are angry when they find out that Mordecai invited them both to the same movie. In the end, CJ leaves after Mordecai apologizes to her and Margaret declines his offer to go to the movies.

The next time we see them is in "Survival Skills"; fighting in Mordecai's imagination.

Margaret finally meets CJ officially in "Merry Christmas Mordecai" while at Eileen's sweater party. At first, they are both pleasant towards each other until Margaret figures out that CJ and Mordecai are dating. Feeling a bit awkward, she leaves the scene. Later, when CJ is in the bathroom, Margaret tells Mordecai that she didn't expect him to wait for her and that she is happy for him. However, Mordecai and Margaret accidentally kiss in front of CJ while reminiscing about the past. This left CJ heartbroken so she ran out of the party and drove off. Margaret tells her it's not what it looks like.

Margaret shows in "Sad Sax" and in "Merry Christmas Mordecai" that she is sorry about what happened and for the trouble she caused. So she chooses to not get involved because she feels like it'll make things worse for CJ and Mordecai. She even wishes him good luck (sincerely) after CJ drives off again when she sees Mordecai hug Margaret in the park.

In "I See Turtles", Margaret is contacted by CJ through Eileen's phone for help. When noticed, Margaret immediately arrives to the beach, and reports the sea turtle abusers. After the whole incident, CJ tells Eileen that she called Margaret for help, and Eileen is filled with joy. Margaret and CJ become friends, and Eileen forces them all to share an awkward group hug.

In" 1000th Chopper Flight Party", CJ still has resentment on Margaret as briefly shown in the beginning of the episode. When CJ sees both Mordecai and Margaret board Chopper 6, laughing and having fun, she gets the wrong impression and she enrages into her storm cloud. Mordecai fails to calm CJ down, and the turbulences of the chopper keep making him give CJ wrong impressions. Margaret manages to calm CJ down by revealing that Del Hanlon of Sports TV Anchor is her boyfriend,as he comes to the party. CJ calms down and turns back to her normal form, but is now filled with remorse for nearly killing Margaret parents and worrying for nothing. CJ then leaves the party crying as Margaret, Mordecai, Eileen, and Del Hanlon watch her leave.

In "Not Great Double Date," CJ arranged a double date to atone for wrecking the party, and seemed to get along with Margaret while she didn't know Margaret wasn't really dating anyone. and she left angrily after Margaret told her the truth.

In "Local News Legend" it is shown that CJ still dislikes her when she changes the channel from her achievement airing.

Margaret did not interact very much with Pops. In "Butt Dial", she asks him where Mordecai and Rigby are. She initially found Pops weird after he referred to her cell phone as the one Mordecai and Rigby "got sucked into" (which did indeed happen).

Margaret has only ever interacted with Muscle Man once, in "Do Me a Solid". In the episode, Eileen, Margaret, and an uninvited, shirtless Muscle Man eat ice cream sandwiches at the Park house, prompting Muscle Man to exclaim "Hey ladies, watch what else I can do with my ice cream sandwich!". Margaret then disgustedly tells Mordecai from the other room that she plans on leaving soon.

Starla and Margaret interacting with each other in "The Longest Weekend", and appeared to be good friends, though Margaret doesn't have much patience for Starla's obsession with Muscle Man. She, along with Eileen, helped comfort Starla when she was upset that Muscle Man didn't call, text, or email her.
