Greek: Weekend At Cappie's

Greek:

"Homecoming and Going"

So how does Greek follow up last week's Best Episode Ever candidate, the Beaver/Walter-centric "All About Beav"?

Unfortunately by shoving Walter way back into the background again. And Katherine was MIA altogether. Boooooooo!

But the consolation was that this episode featured Jonathan Silverman as Pledge Spidey's super rich dad. To me, Jonathan Silverman showing up as Spidey's dad is almost as exciting as Dwayne Wayne appearing as Ashleigh's dad due to my unnatural love of Weekend At Bernie's. (And Weekend At Bernie's II.) We're talking one of my favorite movies ever here. It's like Greek is intentionally casting its parents (and teachers) by harvesting my favorite shows and movies of all time. Next thing you know, Paul Gross from Due South is going to show up at the father of Heath and Heather or something.

Highlights and my observations:

• Uh oh, the KTs didn't hold their big Homecoming party last year, so A&M kicked CRU out of collegepartymonster.org's top 10 party schools.
• "And 'dot org's never lie!"
• Cappie: "Luges? Lugi? Lugee?"
• JONATHAN SILVERMAN!!! Pledge Spidey's dad is Jonathan Silverman?! Awesome!
• Ash: "Who knew finding a job would take so long? It always happens so fast in movie montages."
• Cappie: "It's like finding out that Santa left the North Pole to sit in a cubicle and listen to NPR."
• Why has Ashleigh started snoring in the past 4 months? Does she have a deviated septum?
• Evan not wanting to wade into the battle of "Heather" vs. "Heeeeeather" and saying, "Well, don't stay too long, whatever your name is..."
• Health thinking the party theme was based on Everwood. Honestly, knowing the amount of television watched in the Kappa Tau house, I'd be less surprised by the KTs having a party based on Everwood than Mt. Everest.
• Calvin: "He's a good dancer..."
• Wow, Casey just invited Ash to live with Rusty without asking Rusty (and Dale) first? That's presumptuous.
• WALTER! Walter, I miss you already.
• Awww, Beav getting choked up talking about loosing his "little brother" Scooby. (And then wailing "Scooooooooobbbeeeeee!!!!")
• WHERE IS KATHERINE?!
• Oh no! Dale's big brother is Tripp. Scraping the bottom of the barrel there...
• Dale: "Yeah, I never thought I'd be friends with a red-top either, but he's the prez. Only the best for me!"
• Well, if Rusty is Peter's "big brother" and Cappie is Rusty's "big brother," then Cappie would be Peter's "grand big" so shouldn't that be just about as good?
• Yeah, Calvin! Call Rebecca out on her crap!
• Stop dragging the Calvin/Heath relationship through the mud, Rebecca! Heath is sooooooooo much better than Grant (and deputy Leo).
• Good, Peter, go apply sunscreen. That's responsible.
• Cappie: "Why not just buy him some porn and a lap dance and call it a day?"
  Rusty: "Peter has brittle bones, and an aggressive lap dance could paralyze him for life."
• Ok, it's funny that Heath is dumb in this episode, but he wasn't always this dumb. He was supposedly going to medical school at one point, if you'll recall.
• The whole scene where Calvin found out about Heath's secrets from last week was hilarious, so here it all is:
• Calvin: "You know how sometimes people have another side to themselves that they keep secret?"

  Heath: "Yeah, yeah, like superheroes or...um...uh..."

  Calvin: "Yeah! So, uh, they never really reveal the truth about themselves because they kind of like how people view them in a certain way."

  Heath: "Beaver told you about me stipping at the Rio Nightclub, didn't he?!"

  Calvin: "Stipping? As in strippers? You? For money?!"

  Health: "You didn't know? What were you talking about? Oh God, did Casey tell you about the test paper selling thing?"

  Calvin: "What?!"

  Heath: "What the hell do you want to talk to me about?!"

  Calvin: "Stop talking! I was going to tell you that I don't have a major!"

  Heath: "Really? Why didn't you ever tell me?"

  Calvin: "Does it really matter now?"
• Also beyond hysterical was the pre-goat stealing conversation between Rusty, Dale and Peter.
• Rusty: "I don't think the Bible would approve of you stealing thy neighbor's goat."

  Dale: "The Bible doesn't say zip about kidnapping they neighbor's goat to psych thy neighbor out before the big game."
• Rusty: "You and your 'pledge bros' won't be making any history tonight, bro."

  Dale: "Uh, says who? You and Tiny Tim here?"

  Peter: "Hey! I once ran an 8.5-minute mile. In jeans!"

  Dale: "So did my alcoholic Aunt Trudy, and she didn't remember it."
• Uhh, is Mike Burton (a.k.a. Casey's law professor) hitting on Ashleigh? That's a little creepy. Maybe he's just being nice.
• Ash: "I might as well have gone to the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."
• Oh, Ash, I feel your pain, sweetie. I've been there.
• These luges/lugi/lugee are pretty cool.
• Spidey's dad works on a "campus" with games and massages and other awesome stuff. That sounds nice.
• Beccs isn't going to make it down the luge in that dress.
• Rebecca: "I'm sorry, Cal. I can't help but feel partly responsible."

  Calvin: "You're entirely responsible."
• Casey: "Life was so much easier when all your decisions were made for you." (Amen to that, sister.)
• Wow, Casey is drinking a lot of vodka. It's behavior like this, Casey, that leads to us waking up next to 16-year-olds. And by "us," I mean "you."
• Come on, Rusty. It's got to be easier to steal the goat from the Omega Chis than it is to get it from A&M.
• Heath: "And I'm me - the guy who likes Twilight and the Berenstain Bear books."
• Aww, Calvin told Heath he loves him. And Heath actually said he loves Cal back--not "thank you"! It's about time that exchange actually worked out for a TV couple.
• Spidey has an irrational fear of baby cows.
• Prof. Simon: "When I left college, back in 1990, I was in construction."

  Ash: "I was 2."

  Prof. Simon: "You were in construction, too?"

  Ash: "No, I was 2-years-old."
• Peter: "Cappie's cool, but you're cool and a nerd. You're like the..."
  Rusty: "The amalgam!"
• Ha ha ha! Beaver's slow dancing with the goat!!! Unlike last week, Beaver's barely in this episode, but he's still stealing the show!
• How does Cappie not recognize Peter's dad from "Weekend At Bernie's"? I guarantee you that Cappie has seen "Weekend At Bernie's" AND the sequel at least as many times as me.
• No, Evan, you didn't miss Rebecca!
• Oh, Casey. Casey, Casey, Casey... I hope Ashleigh yells at her for this.
