"I Like You... Hi" was marvelous. I was afraid it'd just be another "Butt Dial", but instead of just cementing something we already know (yes, Mordecai and CJ like each other), they went a step ahead by having Mordecai face the facts.

He and CJ are dating now, but this episode, even with the show's surrealism, succeeds in making the whole situation still feel quite natural. It makes sense that Mordecai would still be struggling with occasionally thinking of Margaret, but I think anyone in his place would deal with the same feelings. Instead of waiting many seasons to get the nerves with Margaret, Mordecai finally dedices he doesn't want to do that with CJ. It's okay that he still thinks about Margaret every now and then, but it doesn't overpower his feelings for CJ.

Also, Ribgy, the panel, the phone council, and Yuji were hilarious! We even saw Mordecai paint again, hopefully hinting that he's been able to come over some of his fears with art. I was pleasantly surprised with this episode, and it was way better than I had originally imagined. Kudos to the crew for surprising me in such a good way!
