Greek: Shot Through The Heart

Greek:

"Love, Actually, Probably, Maybe...Or Not."

Well, the episode between the softball one and the Valentine's Day one will now be known as "the lost episode" to me because I missed it due to being too wrapped up in the Olympics. I hope to catch it at some point though, because it sounds like there must have been some good Dale stuff in it.

This Valentine's Day themed episode was pretty great. Granted, Calvin's plot had him saying lines I'm pretty sure we've already heard him say, Ashleigh's plot with Natalie and Pete was a bit annoying, and watching Rebecca sabotage her relationship with Evan was bittersweet because I don't want them to be together, but I also don't want Evan to be sad, but the Rusty/Katherine combo turned out to be rather intriguing and there were loads of funny quips.

Oh, but anyway, the big news is that Greek was renewed for another season! Phew. All of us Greek-lovers can breathe a sigh of relief; we've bought ourselves at least a little more time with these wonderful characters.

The highlights and my thoughts:

• Um, archery at a KT party? Does that sound just a tad on the dangerous side to anyone else?
• Lol at Cappie hitting the alligator pool toy with an arrow.
• Cappie: "So you're saying I'm your worst boyfriend ever?"
• Calvin: "I didn't mean to walk in on...this."
• Grant: "I'm shaving my neck and my chest...and a little bit off the top of my feet."
  Calvin: "Good to know, Frodo."
• Dale: "That's right, run to it, succubi!"
• Casey: "So, who's the most loved this year?"

  Dale: "You are, of course!"
• Rusty almost succeeded in getting that girl to go out with him until the conversation heart ruined it!
• Rusty: "A C-section? How old are these phone numbers?"

  Cappie: "Well, hopefully older than nine months."
• Cappie: "She's tall, she's pretty...stern. The word 'Nordic' comes to mind."
• Cappie: "I hope she's easier than your sister. Try pleasing her! Rewind: try finding the perfect gift for her."
• Cappie: "Game on."

  Casey: "If you think this is a game, you've already lost."
• Calvin: "The room where secrets go to die?"
• Rusty: "Success tonight means my first Valentine's!"

  Cappie: "It's like I'm reliving first grade through you."
• Cappie: Would you guys stand back-to-back just real quick? I just want to see something."
• Oh for crying out loud, why is Rusty asking Katherine about whether she likes the Gamma Psi house? Way to rub it in.
• Katherine: "Hi, I hope I'm not interrupting, but Laura said to 'just head on up, bitch'?"
• Ash: "I was just going to go show off my new dress."

  Katherine: "It's eclectic."
• Ha ha! Katherine thinks Rusty's suave.
• Ha ha ha ha ha at Dale's giant valentine to Casey with an extremely long, handwritten message inside!
• Cappie made Casey a God's eye in ZBZ colors.
• Katherine: "I'm nervous."

  Casey: "Oh, because we're at a KT party?"

  Katherine: "No, because of Rusty."

  Casey: "Really?"
• Katherine made it to the Olympic trials in archery when she was 11!
• Ha at Cappie throwing the bottle of vodka over his shoulder and hitting people.
• Why would Natalie and her mom be "decorating the tree" on Valentine's Day eve? Pete is stupid.
• Oh, noooooo, Rusty! Why'd he have to say he was glad he changed his mind about Katherine right before they were about to kiss? Stupid, stupid!
• AAAHHHHH! Katherine got hit by an arrow! I told you that archery was too dangerous for a KT party!
• Casey: "First the fire, now this! Katherine's going to think we're trying to kill her."

  Cappie: "Are you?"
• Rebecca: "You are a pretty uptight gay."
• Hey, at least Katherine's roommate is awake!
• Oh, Rebeeca! Nobody self-sabotages as well as you.
• So, Casey's "present" was to take off the top of her dress? And she was going to do this in the foyer of the ZBZ house in front of all of those other people? Not that it's not impressive enough that she's willing to take off her dress in the convenience story parking lot...

Greek: A League of Their Own

Greek:
"Take Me Out"

The play-by-play (a term that seems especially appropriate for this baseball-themed episode):

• Ashleigh fell asleep reviewing her old status updates on Facebook. That sounds lame enough to be something I'd do!
• Casey: "You ready to jump back on the dating horse?"
  Ash: "I'm ready to ride that horse like a bucking bronco."
  Casey: "Awkward."
  
• Maybe they should invite Dale to the Rusty/Calvin/Grant hang out session. He could act as a buffer. Oh, all right, I admit it: I just want to see Dale.
  
• Casey's voice still sounds hoarse.
  
• Eew, a ham and shrimp sandwich!? Those KTs...
  
• Would Casey like to come clean my room? Sure, it's not a gross as Cappie's, but it could use a cleaning.
  
• Sorry, no, Evan, you hit Rusty in the face with the pledge paddle (not upside the head).
  
• Evan: "You got his girlfriend to move away?!"
  Calvin: "Do not high-five him!"
  
  
• Ouch! I knew someone was going to get hit with a ball, but I'm still sorry that Beaver got hit in the butt.
  
  
• Ashleigh: "But he's just so...sooo...mentally challenged."
  
  
• Aww, I don't like to see Casey and Katherine at odds.
  
  
• How did the ZBZ score the Omega Chis? Do the Omega Chis have a thing for arsonists? (Knowing those boys, I wouldn't be surprised.) Or maybe they are afraid the ZBZs will burn down their house if they don't invite them?
  
  
• Ash: "ZBZ is a democracy, not let's all hang out with whatever house Casey's current boyfriend is in."
  
  
• HEATH!!
  
  
• Oh no, Heath/Calvin is never going to happen if Rusty's scheming for it. We can't push this too hard, Rus; it will scare Calvin off!
  
  
• Um, yeah, Rebecca, Evan's not with Casey now, but that doesn't mean he's not still in love with her. Please wise up.
  
  
• Katherine: "Ladies, don't make me call your mothers!"
  
  
• Ash: "I'm bored. Nothing happens out there, and he's cute!"
  
  
• This game is both dangerous and really, really slow. There's like a 10-minute conversation in between every pitch.
  
  
• Lol at Rusty reciting "Casey at Bat"
  
  
• Oh, Casey, just hit freaking the ball. Don't throw the game for Cappie.
  
  
• Whoa, nice hit Casey! She hit it even further than Beaver! Does Casey have a background in playing softball that we don't know about?
  
  
• Beaver: "Is Ashleigh in attendance? I wish to apologize for my inappropriate advances the other night..."
  
  
• Eew. Still don't want to see Evan/Rebecca, but I am trying to refrain from yelling "NOOOOOOO" every time they come on screen together.
  
  
• Rusty: "I saw a side of him I really liked."

  Cappie: "The side of him that looks like Heath?"
  
  
• Beaver: "A League of Their Own! I love this movie so much!"

Greek: Geek Chic

Greek:

"Pride and Punish- ment"

Highlights and play-by-play:

• Wow, now Casey has to investigate her own crime. That's convenient.
• Evan's looking dreamy as usual in his argyle sweater.
• Can't believe Rusty's trying to impress this poor girl by bragging about his science grant.
• Ashleigh's in Rusty's class! I was right; we are starting Ashleigh/Rusty! Bring it on.
• Evan isn't happy that Casey (and Cappie) are "expecting [him] to be third wheel in [their] fantasy recreation of freshman year."
• Not sure I'm on board with Casey's cardigan. Looks like something I'd expect to see Ashleigh wear.
• Casey sounds a little hoarse.
• Evan and Cappie are making a mockery of Amphora.
• Ash (to Dale, when he's not trying to be funny): "Oh, I get it, you're being funny."
• A "nerd auction," Ash? That's not insulting at all...
• Beaver: "Casey, I'm ready for my bedtime story."
• Casey: "I'll be back in 15 minutes. 20 if Beaver's fussy."
• Oh, poor Katherine! Her barfing roommate is horrible.
• Does Katherine know? Is she guilting Casey into telling the truth by being so nice?
• Cappie using "My girlfriend's in labor at County General" as an excuse to cut in the drop/ad line.
• Ha at Rusty's new hair and glasses. It's not bad though; the look's kind of working for him.
• Dale: "Nice glasses, J.J. Have you figured out how Lost is going to end yet?"
• With this hair, Rusty's giving off a bit of a Franco vibe (as in James or Dave).
• Ha ha ha at Rusty's "geek chic" outfit.
• Ash: "Work that sweater vest."
• Hey, this girl was on Veronica Mars. Imagine someone from VM turning up on Greek... Anyway, mock-surprise aside, she was one of the angry sorority girls who stuck the Easter egg up Chip Diller's bleedin' bum, I believe.
• So that geek chic outfit really worked? I was on-board with the hair and glasses, but the outfit is a bit Howard Wolowitz.
• Can't believe Casey just told the Gamma Psi president about burning down the house. She should have at least gone to Katherine first.
• Wow, it's hard to believe that Rebecca was just on Bones playing a former call-girl, huh?
• That's the professor teaching the class about sex?!? And people want to take this class?!? And Evan wears his pink bow tie around campus?!? Kind of an unbelievable minute we're having here.
• Serving drinks in the beakers and test tubes is cute.
• Fisher has some nerve! Why is he even taking his girlfriend to the geek auction? They must not have the event labeled well.
• Ha ha, Dale's auctioning himself off.
• Dale brought in $50! Good for him!
• Ha ha at Casey's reaction to the theater guy saying he'll be nude in "Hair."
• Holy crap! Natalie slept with this theater guy to get him to fix the competition! Yeeesh.
• Beaver: "I can't believe we missed the nerd auction! I've always wanted my own nerd!"
  Cappie: "There's always next year."
  Beaver: "That's easy for you to say; you have Rusty."
• Beaver: "When someone's a friend, you have to let them make their own mistakes. Like when you let me lick that battery. That was a mistake, but you let me make it. Three times."
• See, that Evan Chambers is an evil genius. His plan got Casey and the ZBZs out of trouble in no time.
• Cappie: "I was trying to give some to Rebecca...advice, that is. Give some advice to Rebecca."
• Dale: "And that retainer comes out, if you know what I mean."
• Uh, Dana has some rage issues. Yep, she is kind of off-putting when you first meet her; she's got that right. And, honestly, she's still kind of off-putting after you've known her for awhile.
• Oh, Rusty/Ashleigh is so on. So on.
• Katherine knew that Casey was bluffing with the score sheets (the real ones are still buried) but didn't call her on it.
• Katherine: "Lifetime would make several movie adaptations and they'd probably hire some manish starlet to play me because I'm tall."
• Aww, I hope Casey makes amends with Katherine. I don't want Katherine to feel so sad. Casey should at least get Katherine a room in the ZBZ house so she doesn't have to stay with that horrid, barfing girl.
• Oh no! Next week, Ashleigh is dating Beaver! Ahahaha! I'll jump right off the Rusty/Ashleigh bandwagon for Ashleigh/Beaver!
