I think that Mordecai spent so much of his life trying to get Margaret that by the time he got what he wanted, he had found something better. The reason he kissed her is that he was reliving that life goal, but then he realized that his life goal had changed and he's different now. He thought it was what he wanted, but it wasn't. It's like wanting something really bad and you make it your life goal to get it. But then the chance to get it slips away, and you get something better. And when you confront that thing again and realize you actually have a chance to get it, a part of you is already going for it even before the rest of you can remind that part that you have something much better. That's what I feel is happening right now.
