���How do you chose between your best friend, and your boyfriend?��� ��
On Tuesday���s season four finale episode of Being Mary Jane, Mary Jane Paul (Gabrielle Union) is faced with a huge decision when she���s given the daunting task of choosing the next executive producer for Great Day USA.

Since Justin doesn���t know that MJ is on the ���hiring committee��� he tells her that he���s willing to ���do what it takes��� to ���guarantee��� him the job. But, also reveals that��if he doesn't get the gig, he���s ready to take another executive producer job at a new political talk show in Los Angeles.
���The last thing I want to do is put us in a position where I have to consider taking this job and moving. But if Kara wins, I don���t know if I���ll have a choice,��� he tells MJ, who assumes that he secretly figured out that she has a vote in the executive producer race.��
Kara on the other hand, decides that being named EP of the morning show means she���s finally be able to move her family to New York, and all signs are pointing to her landing the position.��
The ratings are up at GDU, and things get better when MJ and Kara successfully pitch a ���female��panel��� segment called ���Breakfast with Mary Jane,��� which turns out to be a hit for the show and for MJ.��
Justin eventually learns that MJ has a vote on his potential GDU promotion, which opens up another tensely candid conversation about how hard he continues to work at gaining her trust.��
���Maybe that���s a pitfall of having a relationship that started the way ours did. Maybe there will always be a sliver of doubt,��� MJ confesses after Justin confronts her about not trusting him.��
Naturally, MJ chooses Kara as��executive producer, which triggers a mini-temper tantrum from Justin.
���Kara will take this show to new heights,��� MJ explains before admitting to Justin that she didn���t want to pick him out of ���fear��� that he would leave her if she voted for��Kara.
���You made your decision, now I���m going to live up to your expectations,��� Justin says before walking out on MJ, who���s finally learning to stand on her own two feet.
���Life doesn���t stop because Justin left,��� MJ tells Kara ahead of a big party celebrating her new position.
Although Justin doesn���t officially split with MJ, the same can't be said for her��parents. Paul (Richard Roundtree) is ready to divorce Helen (Margaret Avery) after she admitted to having an affair with his best friend, and it seems that��cooking a good��meal��wasn't enough to win��her man back.��

In other relationship news, Kara thought her baseball player boyfriend, Orlando (Nicholas Gonzalez), was going to propose but he gave her a name plate for her desk instead.��
Even though Kara didn���t get a pretty diamond ring, there���s another proposal in the works when Justin returns to MJ with bouquets of flowers and an apology for his childish behavior.��
���I just don���t want to move forward with you,��� he says before suggesting another scenario,��that involves them (hopefully) living happily ever after.��
���I want to pitch a new dream to replace that old one. You and me, the two of us,��� he says.��

The��lovebirds have certainly come a long way in their relationship, especially after MJ cheated on her fianc��e��Lee (Chik�� Okonkwo) with Justin and opted to follow her heart, and the choice seems to be paying off.��
But is MJ really ready to marry the man of her dreams? Fans will have to wait until season five of Being Mary Jane returns to BET.��
