"The Mindy Project" Season 2 returns Tuesday, April 1, with an hour-long spring premiere and no -- this is not a prank. The beloved, quirky TV rom-com is back for an additional six episodes before returning for a third season (hooray!) next year.
Last we left them, Mindy and Danny (Chris Messina) shared a steamy kiss on the plane back to the east coast, just as Cliff (Glenn Howerton) decided to win Mindy back.
Since Kaling has been teasing the return of the show on her active Instagram account for the past few weeks, we couldn't help but try to pick her countdown photos apart for clues. So what can we expect from the rest of Season 2? Our guesses, below:
20 Days left:
Definite flirtation going on between Dr. Lahiri and Dr. Castellano.
Two weeks left:
Morgan (Ike Barinholtz) has been courting spoken-for nurse Tamra (Xosha Roquemore) for a good chunk of the season. Could his dreams really come true in the upcoming episodes?
10 Days left:
Is Mindy trying to make Danny jealous by using Peter (Adam Pally) as bait? They did have chemistry at Josh's (Tommy Dewey) wedding.
Nine Days left:
Oh man, is Mindy back with Tom (Bill Hader)? He did split with his wife and befriend Danny on their sad men's basketball team. Here's hoping she doesn't go down that rabbit hole again ...
Eight Days left:
Mindy seems upset -- may we venture a guess over a boy -- and her good friend Morgan is down for some off-beat advice.
Seven Days left:
Oh em gee, is that Schmidt?! "New Girl" star Max Greenfield looks like his charming self, possibly on a date with Mindy, judging by the cocktails and warm lighting.
Six Days left:
Peter is role-playing for some reason and he's also not about to let someone text someone else. Is it Mindy who desperatly wants to text Tom, or possibly Schmidt?! Is it Tamra who's dying to text Morgan?
Note to self: Where did Dr. Reed (Ed Weeks) go?!
Four Days left:
Mindy's crying. Oh no, Mindy's crying. Why is Mindy crying? Did someone break her heart? Is Danny doing the heart breaking or is he consoling her like the trusty, broody man that he is?
Two Days left:
Danny is looking up. Why is he looking up? Are things looking up? For him and Mindy, that is? Or is he looking up at her window hoping she's home? He looks more worried than happy.
Tomorrow (one day left):
Peter found something on the computer that Mindy is pretty shocked about. Did Casey accidentally post one of their sexy Skype chats online? Did Danny post an awkward but heartwarming dance video dedicated to her? Is Christina (Chloë Sevigny) taking public revenge on Danny's new love interest?
Tonight:
Mindy's fabulous and she knows it. And she's at a house party. And she's drinking wine. It's all going to be okay.
"The Mindy Project" airs Tuesdays at 9 p.m. EST.
