Mindy's on her own.

When The Mindy Project returns for the second half of its fourth season on April 12, fans can expect to see Mindy (Mindy Kaling) and baby Leo living in the Hulu heroine's old apartment, which will be getting a baby-proofing makeover.

In E! News' exclusive promo above, fans can see Mindy and Leo checking out her newly refurbished digs, complete with a bubble-wrapped staircase and ridiculously cute nursery that we'd love to live in, if we're being totally honest.

It looks like Mindy's apartment has it all...except for Danny (Chris Messina). The first half of the season ended with Mindy returning to her old apartment and measuring the wall to see if Leo's crib would fit, clearly about to make a decision about her future with Danny. And judging from the promo above, she's definitely made a choice, one that will likely upset some of the fan-favorite couple's supporters.

But rest assured, fans worrying over the lack of Danny in the promo, as Kaling told us everyone will still be around when the show returns. "Everyone's back. So it's like, I don't want to give away too much of what you can expect," Kaling assured. "But if anyone is worried about not seeing anybody, that's not something anyone needs to worry about."

Also returning? The tension between Mindy and Danny over their differing opinions on parenthood. 

"People can change, but they can't change that much. And I think that especially when you're in a relationship and especially when there's a kid involved," Kaling explained. "Relationships get hard when there's a kid when beforehand there would not have been any issues because of the different ways on how to raise a kid and what that kid's life should be, so it's like the character is showing his true self a little bit and it's so in opposition to our lead. It's challenging and it's really real."
