I was really getting tired of the Mindy/Danny storyline. It was always the same thing and it was annoying. I wasn't enjoying it but there were moments in the last few episodes that I laughed out loud the way I did when I watched the first episode. It feels like something is different and better again.

I am so over Danny. He always waits until she's found someone else and then he breaks it up. Cliff. Charlie. Now Jody. Either figure out how to be with her or let her go be happy.
share**Spoilers from June 28th episode: Exactly! He was such a d**k in today's episode. He thinks it's okay for him to be engaged (and not tell her--the mother of his child), but she shouldn't be able to date anyone? Ugh, he is so selfish and hypocritical. Plus, it's kind of weird to me that his new fiance has a resemblance to Christina.
shareOmg she does look like Christina! And I think he picked her because she's clearly more subservient than Mindy. If he busts her relationship up again and then doesn't change anything, I'll be so upset.
Honestly, I think she's going to choose herself and walk away from both of them. I'll be disappointed if that happens. Jody is the first guy besides Casey that's really accepted her for who she is.

Truth be told, I had to see you one more time, even if it was from a distance.
I agree with you that Mindy choosing herself over either of the guys is a definite possibility...especially since there is only one episode left in this season. Plus, I'm 99.9% sure she won't be going back to Danny since Chris Messina isn't going to be a series regular next season and I think (or at least hope) that she has come too far to put up with anymore of his BS. I definitely like Jody better than Danny, but thought it was really sleazy of him to try to trick her into having sex when he knew he had chlamydia.
shareI don't think Jody was trying to trick her into sex. Mindy was definitely the instigator. He tried to drop her off at the door and then tried not to in the apartment. I think he was embarrassed and didn't want her to see him in a bad light. Then he felt cornered because Mindy was a bit demanding and at that point he was already upstairs and it kept snowballing from there. He just handled the whole situation badly and should have just been truthful with his STD from the get go. I think Jody is pretty standup and would have come out with it or made some other excuse and left had Morgan not texted Mindy.
Danny would have slept with her and probably hid antibiotics in her candy bars the rest of the week.
They said he was going to be recurring. I think they wrote the last episode as a cliffhanger because it was filmed months ago, and they didn't know his status. The result of the cliffhanger will depend on that status. Fwiw, Garret Dilahunt is also not a regular on the show, but he's pretty much been on every episode. Being a regular seems to be more of a contractual thing which effects how actors are paid than a real commitment. For example, Chris Noth was listed as a guest star on The Good Wife for every year of its run. However, he was on well over 2/3 of the episodes and, obviously outlasted two of the regulars, who left. Since the whole premise of the show was about his character, they'd never have cast someone they couldn't rely on to come in. I'm not saying that's necessarily the case with Chris Messina. This show has had cast members become recurring, allegedly and never be seen again (albeit not very good characters like Betsy and Gwen), and they've had characters like Chelsea come back even though they were supposed to be one-shot guests. Just saying the fact that he isn't a regular doesn't necessarily mean anything.
Next year will have 16 episodes, not 26, so it will also be easier for the actors to commit. Chris Messina was on more than 16 episodes this year, but since there were 26, it seemed like he was gone a lot. 26 is a lot!
