I want Mike and Erica’s reunion to be sweet and respectful. Something like, “Oh, you’re married to Gail now? And you have a baby! Well, I too am now in a relationship with [insert random name here], so it’s all good. I’m not dead!*”
That being said, I don’t think too much time will be spent on Mike/Erica. They went on a couple of dates and had one aesthetically pleasing kiss and that was it. And – god, I know how risky it is to say this these days, but – I really honestly do trust the writers. Reading interviews with them, I think they do know what they’re about and what a good thing they’ve got going here. The only really big misstep they’ve made in all the show so far is killing off Lewis, and I suppose one Big Mistake per four seasons is a pretty good ratio.
*Will not be the case if Mike turns out to be a ghost which is my other theory
