If CJ was going to end it with Mordecai, I'm glad this is how they do it. They could have made it all inside CJ's head, made her really paranoid over nothing, maybe loose her temper one more time at the wedding and then break it off due to guilt/embarrassment. That was how I was fearing they'd go. It'd be conveniently on her, she gets written off and Mordecai and Margaret go back to their awkward will they won't they relationship from the earlier seasons.

But they didn't, they actually gave Margaret some agency by making her lie about having a boyfriend and admit the current situation was affecting her, and not to Mordecai but to CJ of all people. That's a good move, it's completely understandable and it makes her into a character with her own feelings and needs who's capable of doing flawed things. CJ's not the bad guy either. Her temper aside, she is trying to be fair about the situation. She openly acknowledges that Margaret does have a right to be around Mordecai and the others without feeling like an outcast. She might not be able to help feeling frustrated over the situation, especially now that both Mordecai and Margaret have admitted to her on separate occasions they do still have feelings for each other (even though they're not acting on it), but she's trying. Overall, I like the episode and I like what they're trying to do with Margaret. I'd still be sad if CJ does leave the show for good, but this went alot better than I thought it would.
