‘The Mindy Project’ Season 3 Spoilers: Things ‘Cool Down’ Between Mindy & Danny After He Reveals He’s Still Married In ‘Crimes & Misdemeanors & Ex-BFs’? [VIDEO]
They may be one of the hottest new couples on TV, but Mindy (Mindy Kaling) and Danny (Chris Messina) could encounter their first major relationship obstacle on The Mindy Project.
Mindy & Danny Encounter Problems In The Bedroom?
A promo clip for the September 30 episode, titled Crimes & Misdemeanors & Ex-BFs, hints that Mindy will find evidence that Danny may still technically be married to his ex-wife-something that could cool things down for the pair pretty quickly.
"Danny are you still married?" Mindy asks in the clip. "Are you married?"

"Uhhh," Danny stammers.
Fans can be assured however that the couple won't be breaking up, as Kaling previously confirmed the show wouldn't break the two up simply for the ratings.
"We were really excited to see what these two super different characters would be like together. A lot of shows I think break characters up for no reason because the show has to last for seven or eight years," Kaling said. "We thought, no. People can still be interesting when they are together. He's 40, she's 34. They just want to make it work."
However, they will still need to face other obstacles in the upcoming episode-which also include Mindy being forced to pretend that she and Danny broke up because he cheated on her, so she can "rekindle" a fake relationship with her ex-boyfriend Cliff (Glen Howerton).
As it turns out, Mindy has forgotten to pay taxes and is being investigated-which she needs Cliff's help with so she can avoid jail-but he won't help her if she's still with Danny.
"Why do you get everything you want? I mean, I help you out with this and you still got to date the guy that you cheated on me with?" Cliff asks her in a separate clip of the episode.
"What are you saying? That you would help me if I wasn't dating Danny?" Mindy asks.
"I don't know...what are you saying? Did you two break up?" Cliff says.
"Yes...yes, we did break up," Mindy says after a long pause. "And Danny cheated on me."
The Mindy Project airs Tuesdays at 9:30 on FOX.
