Mindy's love life is always something of a hot mess, and in this episode of The Mindy Project, things only get more complicated. Titled "Hooking Up Is Hard," this episode finds Mindy struggling to navigate the tricky waters of casual sex, while also dealing with some serious career stress.

As the episode opens, we see Mindy on a date with a handsome stranger named Graham. As they flirt and banter over drinks, Mindy is hopeful that this could be the beginning of something great. However, when Graham invites her back to his place, Mindy starts to feel a little unsure. She's not a casual sex kind of girl, but she's also not sure if she's ready for anything serious with this guy. In the end, she decides to go for it, but the encounter is far from satisfying. Mindy finds herself distracted by her own thoughts the entire time, and when it's over, she feels empty and alone.

Meanwhile, at work, Mindy is dealing with some major stress. Her beloved ob-gyn practice is struggling, and Mindy is worried that the doctors may have to start taking on more radical cases in order to stay afloat. She's also upset that Danny, her colleague and unrequited love interest, seems to be more interested in a pretty pediatrician named Chelsea than in her.

As the episode progresses, Mindy tries to juggle both her professional and personal life, but things only get more complicated. She decides to try hooking up with Graham again, but it's even worse than the first time. Mindy can't shake the feeling that she's doing something wrong, and in the end, she sneaks out of Graham's apartment and goes home alone.

At work, Mindy's stress levels continue to rise. She tries to help one of her patients, a young woman dealing with a difficult pregnancy, but her own anxieties keep getting in the way. Meanwhile, Danny and Chelsea continue to flirt, leaving Mindy feeling more and more left out.

In the end, Mindy decides that she needs to make some changes in her life. She ends things with Graham, realizing that casual sex just isn't her thing. She also confronts Danny about his relationship with Chelsea, telling him that she's tired of playing second fiddle. Danny responds by admitting that he's always had feelings for Mindy, but that he was too afraid to act on them. The two finally share a long-awaited kiss, but their happiness is short-lived when Mindy realizes that her patient's condition has taken a turn for the worse.

As the episode ends, Mindy is left to deal with the tragic consequences of her patient's pregnancy. However, she's also feeling optimistic about her relationship with Danny. It's clear that things won't be easy for Mindy in the episodes to come, but fans of the show know that Mindy is nothing if not resilient. The Mindy Project season 1 episode 12 is a rollercoaster of emotions, with highs, lows, and plenty of laughs along the way.
