While still theoretically possible in the future, the show has burned a lot of bridges in this regard, repeatedly establishing Mikey as a most vapid character. Why couldn't they just continue developing his relationship with Leatherhead? That opened a whole new world of Mikey depth. But the show seemed to try just as hard to erase whatever progress they'd made. Every moment they totally portray Mikey as a complete caricature is something that works against any serious moments they try to give him.
