Greek: A Night To Remember

Greek:

"Formally Yours"

I was a little nervous about this episode... The promos made it seem like the Casey/Max relationship could potentially be derailed by both Cappie and Evan. And, as we learned in last series' flashback episode, Casey does have a history of swapping dates on the night of the big dance.

Thankfully, the Casey/Max relationship survived the night and will live to see another day! Not only that, but they're looking stronger than ever! Woohoo!

As for Rusty and Ashleigh, is it really true that it "can't happen"? I'm not so sure; it seemed like there might be something there...if not now, maybe sometime in the future.

Highlights:

• Cappie: "Due to limited storage space, we will now be deleting our season pass of Days of Our Lives. I'm very sorry, Beaver."
  Beaver: "I'll miss you, Marlena."
• Ashleigh: "Music! I knew I forgot something!"
  Casey: "What?! Really?"
  Ashleigh: "NO! Not really!"
• Casey: "It's like he just picked up a ping pong paddle and I'm throwing him into Wimbledon."
• Ashleigh: "He's socially awkward, not special."
• Dale knows exactly who do go to to rent a disco ball ;-)
• Dale: "She's a cow."
  Rusty: "She's the one milking the cow."
• Uh oh, there seems to be some spark left between Cappie and Rebecca. Whatever--as long as it keeps him away from Casey.
• Wow, the sorority election is next week already! I wish presidential elections moved with the same alacrity as sorority ones.
• Why doesn't Evan wear his ties anymore? He's gone so much more casual these days, and I don't like it.
• Oh no! Rusty's formal theme is "A Night To Remember"! Ha!
• Dale: "That's more tired than my grandma after bingo."
• Rusty's hilarious expression when Dale said: "I wanted to give it to her."
• The Kappa Tau "informal" has a bouncy castle ;-)
• Cappie: "Your head is way too fancy for your body. It's weird."
• The Casey/Cappie interaction was very buddy-buddy. I could feel him pining for her, but she didn't seem to be pining for him. (Which would make for a nice turn of events: Casey finally getting over somebody, or somebody finally getting over Casey.)
• Casey: "If Max gets uncomfortable, he can talk to Rusty! And they can sit at the table and talk about lasers and jet packs!"
• Ashleigh's hair is fancier than Casey's and she didn't go to the salon.
• Evan: "I'm running unopposed, and everyone already thinks I'm president." (I appreciate it when Greek throws in some quasi-inside jokes.)
• Ha ha, it was cute how Rusty and Ashleigh bonding over party planning details (the 4-tiered chocolate fountain).
• Rusty dances like a character in the Peanuts cartoon.
• Ugh, could Evan be nastier? Rusty did kind of encourage his meanness by being a little snippy with him when they met at the bar. But, yikes. What the hell does Evan care if Rusty's on a pity date. Rusty's like a little puppy; just leave him alone.
• I can't believe Rusty put his hand on Ashleigh's butt!
• Casey (to Evan): "You're better than this. What happened to you?" Amen to that. He was much better than this just--what--a month ago in Greek time?
• Ashleigh and Rusty's kissing-to-prove-Evan-wrong scheme would be a lot more convincing if they didn't shoot superior looks in his direction every time they kissed. That's kind of a tip off.
