Diary

This article is about the season three episode, for the diary that Margaret owns, see here.

Diary is the thirty-third episode of season three (and seventy-third episode overall) of Regular Show. It aired on July 23, 2012.

Plot
Mordecai and Rigby are heading to Margaret's New Apartment in a tall building to water her plants while she is away. While they are looking for a watering can, Rigby takes a hat hanging from Margaret's bedroom door and wears it to imitate Margaret and make fun of Mordecai, triggering a fight. During the scuffle, they knock Margaret's Diary off of a bookshelf and break the lock. Fearing that the diary's current condition implies that he read through it, Mordecai begins trying to fix it. Rigby gets some glue and while trying to apply it, Rigby puts too much glue on her diary (saying Mordecai made him nervous with his constant emphasis to not put too much on it). Mordecai looks at the container and sees it will come off with heat, so Rigby suggests putting the diary in the microwave oven. When Rigby is about to push start, Mordecai remembers the microwave incident from It's Time, and rejects using the microwave.

They then decide to put it in the stove, which caused her diary to blow up on fire, so the two decide to burn out the fire by putting it in the toilet, which works. They then go to Skips for advice who claims that there is a method of using magic to make an exact replica of Margaret's Diary out of another notebook. Skips claims that they must close their eyes during the entire time to not look at the secrets. Rigby opened his eyes on purpose. Then the giant monster known as The Guardian of Margaret's Secrets comes in and Skips announces the only way to defeat it is by telling their true deep secrets. Skips tells his secret that the reason he always skips is to remind him of the time he enjoyed with a woman that he loved and therefore never walks. The Guardian of Margaret's Secrets accept Skips' secret but continues to destroy Margaret's home while Mordecai and Rigby keep telling secrets that aren't too deep enough. Finally, Mordecai states that he took away a mail-delivery mattress that was Rigby's and stacked it on his own to be comfortable (explaining why Rigby doesn't have a bed from Ello Gov'nor and The Unicorns Have Got to Go). Rigby also states that he thinks Eileen is hot without her glasses. After this, The Guardian of Margaret's Secrets disappears and all the destruction, including that to Margaret's Diary, has been erased.

The next day, Mordecai and Rigby arrive at the Coffee Shop. Margaret claimed that Eileen already watered her plants and Rigby sees Eileen without her glasses (revealing that Eileen has very small, squinted eyes).
