Yeah, I don't think CJ's going to disappear after what happened in the last episode. The last few seasons have shown Mordecai having to confront situations head-on, no matter how awkward, stressful, or terrifying. "MCM" shows Mordecai accepting the facts that he did have good times with Margaret and should be grateful for them, but he's moved on and having new good times with CJ. Now, he needs to deal with making peace with CJ while learning to rekindle a nonromantic friendship with Margaret as she's now back in town.

Maybe there's more to it, but I think from Mordecai and Margaret's reactions to the kiss that they were just getting caught up in their memories, and other than that moment, throughout the episode, Mordecai firmly stated he'd gotten over Margaret. The show would be copping out if they immediately got rid of CJ. At the least, we need to see Mordecai apologize to CJ, and then, yeah, it's up to CJ. And who knows, maybe this event will be character development with CJ as she has to decide what she thinks about Mordecai's mistake and figure out how to get along with Margaret. Even Margaret needs to apologize to CJ, which could be interesting.

I'm not a big fan of the accidental kiss (I don't care if it came from thinking about their past, but nobody usually does that), and the show may very well be doing a love triangle, something I'm not eager for. If nothing else, it looks like Future!Rigby was right about the kiss causing some issues in "New Years' Kiss", and we might get an episode showing how bad it gets for Rigby to try such a thing. But I cautiously believe that good can come from this, and hopefully I won't be facepalming at Mordecai, his girlfriend's, and his former love interest's actions throughout this season.
