No offense but I think attributing Mordecai's relationship with Margaret as some sort of catalyst that improved his interaction with other characters might be giving it too much credit. He became closer with his co-workers because he spent time with them and been through stuff with them over the series. Margaret had nothing to do with that (though to be fair it’s not like she had much screen time to work with). If anything the park workers played more of a role in supporting Mordecai and Margaret’s relationship since they do help out with his romance troubles from time to time (Yes Dude Yes, Picking Up Margaret and Steak Me Amadeus etc). That being said, please don’t take this as a jab at their relationship overall. I agree it undoubtedly left a significant impact on Mordecai and the story later on, being one of the first aspects of the show to be granted plot continuity across episodes. But not all aspects of Mordecai’s character development needs to stem from this one place is all I’m saying. That aside, I agree with the other points here.
