I think she was actually tryin...I thought that too. I think she was actually trying to push Danny not necessarily to break up with Mindy but to make a decision, possibly to realize that he does want to marry her. Actually, the note on the bed in this week's episode ("You're not married. It's a sin.") could be said to bear this out as well.

It's almost as if she is on Mindy's side more than Danny's. It's obvious to her what Mindy expects from Danny without the mention of any diary.

Mi...I loved how the ending had this double meaning. Mindy was giving an ultimatum without even realizing it. Danny took her "staying over" as a metaphor for marriage. They were both having completely different conversations but saying the same things. That was great on the writer's part.

The one thing I think ...Thanks for the good review. The one thing I think we've gotten about Mindy's backstory (and it was pretty late in the game, granted) was when she told Danny he couldn't tell her anything about her body "that I haven't heard from every single mean girl for my entire life." I suspect this sort of sums up Mindy L's backstory (perhaps because it mirrors Mindy K's). She's a girl who's been body-shamed, probably also thought of as a nerd, but she got past it and triumphed, in part because of this bravado she has. However, when you've been picked on, you also never quite get over the idea that you're not attractive. So now, she has trouble trusting the guys she dates, always thinks maybe they're criticizing. It explains how she's always the first to laugh at herself. It also explains how she'll stand up for herself, call herself hot. But it sort of makes you think maybe she doesn't completely believe Danny loves her, even now. Anyway, that was my take on her backstory. It's not much, though. Good luck on exams!
