As an avid fan of Regular Show, I have a feeling that this episode is not going to be anything like one would expect it to be. While I'm sure the whole love triangle dilemma will be mentioned at some point, I don't think it's going to be the focus of the episode. I mean, CJ is not even planning on attending the party, so unless she changes her mind at the last minute or Mordecai manages to screw up again and she somehow finds out about it, I don't forsee a drama bomb going off. I feel as though this episode is actually going to delve into Mordecai and Frank's relationship. Mordecai will probably have to explain to Frank that while he is indeed in a romantic relationship with CJ, he unintentionally kissed Margaret during the Christmas party. He'll probably say an apology or something and the plot will move onward from there. Maybe some unanswered questions will arise, such as why Mordecai even kissed Margaret in the first place and if he honestly does/does not still have feelings for her. While the scent of romance still lingers in the air, something tells me that it is not going to be as dramatic this time around.

It sort of perturbs me that everyone assumes that Mordecai is going to pull another Mordecai so quickly, even though he just learned his lesson a few episodes beforehand. While I understand that Mordecai has made mistakes before, I don't think he'd be willing to betray CJ's trust for a third time, especially after he just went through hell and back to make her reconsider being his girlfriend. Plus, it's not like every single episode is romance-based. I find it funny when people compare RS to a soap opera, considering it's anything but. (Get the pun? :P) Trust me, I've had the 'pleasure' of viewing soap operas, and they are nothing like Regular Show. Soap operas consist of nothing more than lame, cheesy storylines, predictable drama, and dry humor. Regular Show, on the other hand, contains intriguing plots, unexpected twists, and good-natured humor all throughout. Although I do agree that the romantic arcs can get old at times, the writers usually make up for it by sprinkling a bunch of other awesome episodes in between. Mordecai and Rigby Down Under, Happy Birthday Song Contest, Benson's Suit,  and Gamers Never Say Die were all very enjoyable episodes that literally have nothing to do with any sort of love interest. And even though a lot of people hated it in regards to character development, I personally thought Format Wars II was a fun episode and had several creative elments strewn in, especially during the battle scene. Not to mention, we got to hear Rigby angrily yell "Stop talking!" and Mordecai exclaim "Yeahyuh!", which they haven't done in what feels like a long time. Sure, there wasn't necessarily a lot of character development on Benson's part, but at least Benson's suit made up for that. Something else that should be taken into consideration is that I don't think the writers intend to bombard us with a ton of romance episodes. If you check out wikipedia, you'll notice that a season with about forty episodes only contains roughly five or six romance-oriented episodes. It's really not that bad if you think about it.

So yeah... that's pretty much it. XD I don't think this episode is going to ruin anything at all. If anything, it might just strengthen Mordecai and Frank's relationship or Margaret and CJ's friendship. I suppose we'll find out soon enough.
