Mindy and Danny had a major moment in The Mindy Project season 2, episode 14, “The Desert.” Read our recap to find out what happened and discuss with other fans.

Last night on The Mindy Project season 2, episode 14, “The Desert,” Mindy refused to accept that her relationship with Cliff was over. She even turns down going with Danny to meet his father because she’s determined to get back to New York and make up with Cliff.

Peter gets back to the office and is annoyed when Tamra and Beverly immediately start questioning him about the trip. When they ask whether or not he brought back souvenirs he tells them to leave him alone! Too bad he gets locked in the bathroom with Morgan just when he’s getting ready to leave for a date.

Mindy is not pleased when she wakes up from her nap in the car and they are not at LAX like Danny promised. He informs her that they’re at his Dad’s house – whom he’s about to punch in the face. But when they get to the door a little girl opens it and says she’s Danny Castellano.

Danny is so blindsided by the fact that he has a little sister that he doesn’t move when his father comes in for a hug. He tries to say they have to leave but Mindy pushes him into the house. Luckily, Mindy is able to push out her flight so she can still head back to New York that night.

Peter seems about ready to kill himself after listening to Morgan talk, non-stop. They suddenly hear Cliff talking through the vents and realize they may have a way out. Just as they’re about to call for his help he starts embarrassingly singing/crying to Jewel.

When Danny and Mindy discover that Alan has reformed and seems to be the perfect father now – Danny doesn’t take it so well. In order to cope, he starts drinking and keeps going even as Mindy is leaving. He decides to set off for a walk in the desert by himself.

Peter and Morgan realize that Mindy and Cliff must have broken up – it’s the only explanation for listening to Jewel for two hours. Although they think it must have been Mindy that dumped Cliff, since he’s so sad and starts to feel bad for setting them up. The maid finally comes and lets them out and they awkwardly run into Cliff in the elevator.

When Cliff admits to them that he and Mindy broke up and that he isn’t taking it so well, Morgan can’t help but offer to take him out. Peter isn’t so keen on the idea but finally agrees and says he can’t ignore a broken heart.

Several drinks later at the bar – they are not happy to find out that Cliff was actually the one who broke up with Mindy. They explain what happened in L.A. and yell at him for making a big mistake!

Of course, Danny gets lost in the desert (on account of all the beers). Refusing to call Alan, he calls Mindy and asks her to come find him. Reluctantly she turns around to go get him and after a two-hour drive back to the desert, she finds him. To make matters worse, Danny tells her that she’s wasting her time with Cliff.

Trying to get back to the car, Mindy and Danny accidentally wander onto a military base. They have to call Alan to come get them out and Danny admits to him that he came to knock him out. Alan apologizes for not being there before and asks Danny to be apart of the family now.

The next day Mindy and Danny go to the soccer game with Alan and little Danny. Where Danny surprisingly has a good time with his family. Then together, they head back to New York where they apologize to each other for their argument.

Danny helps Mindy write the perfect “please forgive me letter” to Cliff (which works), so she decides to reward him with tonic water. But before she can find any Danny comes back and FINALLY gives her the kiss fans have been waiting for.
