I don't know if I agree Mordecai and Margaret's relationship was nothing more than a silly crush. It started out that way, especially for Mordecai, but we did see them get to know each other and build a closer relationship.

But boy, I hope--I wish--it'll be a simple closure. Foreshadowing from "Survival Skills" and "New Years' Kiss" seems to indicate a different outcome, though. After all, the show's done a strangely good job not telling us anything about how Margaret's doing other than she was working on a term paper during the Thanksgiving special. Also, we don't know if Margaret knows about Mordecai and CJ, and we don't know if CJ knows about where Mordecai and Margaret's relationship went before it stopped. All of these things could result in a lot of trouble for Mordecai, CJ, and Margaret. Future!Rigby did say that Mordecai not kissing the girl--presumably CJ--would be the only way that Mordecai would be happy...

I'm probably looking too far into this, but when in an interview JG says about the romance in the show, "It's going to be intense", I get the feeling Margaret's return won't be a simple situation.
