Honestly, I'd be suprised if anyone saw that return coming! It wasn't in a huge two-parter or a season finale, it was literally the last few seconds of an episode mainly focused on Rigby doing something nice for Eileen! Ignoring that Margaret's role as Mordecai's former love interest, that brief moment was small, unique, and clever for a returning character on RS.

As for what'll happen, it's anyone's guess. All I know is I really don't want it to become a crazy over-the-top love triangle, although I understand that there is going to be strains. If Mordecai was just starting to know CJ, maybe I'd understand him becoming strongly interested in Margaret again. But as of now, he's dating CJ and they're pretty much boyfriend and girlfriend. Mordecai cheating on or ditching CJ for Margaret would make him come off as a jerk, so hopefully the writers know better.

But at the same time, I hope they successfully deal with the awkwardness of this situation. Perhaps Margaret still has feelings for Mordecai and hopes to start it up again with him, but when she finds out he's dating CJ, she has to come to accept it (and no, not become jealous in an out-of-control way). Mordecai discovers she's back and has to fully get over her, and CJ learns of the former relationship and has to make some sort of peace with Margaret. If the show handles it in this way or any way that respects the personalities and the development of these characters while still showing how this kind of situation plays out realistically and fairly, this new plot should be at the least okay and at the most very impressive and enjoyable.
