The Mindy Project finished with a cliff hanger last season. Mindy and Danny’s relationship was on the rocks. Mindy is pregnant with Danny’s child. Danny blew off meeting Mindy’s parents, so he made it up to her by flying to India to formally introduce himself. Here’s the catch, Mindy’s parents have no idea that Mindy is dating Danny, let alone, having his child.
The episode starts with Mindy freaking out that Danny is missing (she doesn’t know he’s in India), and goes to bed wishing she had never dated Danny.
She wakes up the next morning with her wish granted. She wakes up next to her husband Matt (played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt). However, she has no memory of their relationship. In this reality, she barely talks to Danny, she’s sleeping with Duncan, and has an open relationship with her husband. Mindy knows she wants and has to go back to her reality.
Meanwhile, Danny meets Mindy’s parents in India, but has yet to admit that he’s the father of Mindy’s baby. As a result, Danny is helping Mindy’s parents choose a husband for Mindy. Danny keeps putting off telling Mindy’s parents until he finally cracks while meeting the best husband candidate for Mindy.
Mindy wakes up from her horrible dream to find her reality still in check and Danny at her side. He then gets on one knee and finally asks the question Mindy (and all of The Mindy Project fans) have been waiting for.
Side note, The Mindy Project now streams on Hulu every Tuesday. Fox removed The Mindy Project from its lineup this past spring, after airing its third season.
