Greek: The Kiss of Truth

Greek: Midnight Clear

Well, fellow Greek aficionados, it's time to face the unfortunate truth: Our time at Cyprus-Rhodes is almost up, as evidenced by this finale cast photo posted on EW.com last week. Boy, does looking at that picture make me feel sad. They're smiling, but they are melancholy smiles. And I can relate: a melancholy smile is the best you're going to get out of me when I'm thinking of Greek's rapidly approaching March 7 finale.

Once you get past the sheer sadness of the idea of Greek ending, looking at that picture brings some other things to mind. First, Casey's outfit is amazing. Second, what the hell happened to Evan's hand?! Is that part of the plot? Or did Jake McDorman break his hand in real life? It seems like they could have pretty easily hidden his hand behind another cast member if they'd wanted to, so I think it's a clue. But how does Evan break his hand? Punching Cappie? Getting hit with a pledge paddle by Rusty? The plot thickens...

Highlights and observations (apologies--these are not quite as thorough as usual; my computer froze up during Truth or Kiss):

• Ash: "Casey took a "Which Friend are you quiz on Facebook and she's a Rachel. She wishes! She's more like a Ross."
• Can I come to the "lovers of Calvin" party? I'm a lover of Calvin.
• This is the first snowstorm at Cyprus-Rhodes is 50 years? I thought they were in Ohio! Where'd I get that clearly erroneous idea?
• Casey: "Ashleigh became a fan of Color Me Badd! She hates novelty '90s bands! What is wrong with her?!"
• They are talking about pre-nups already in law school? That seems kind of advanced for week four or whatever it is.
• EVAN!!! EVAN!!! EVAN!!!
• Dale: "Let's be honest, with that dimpled chin and those buttery blond highlights, it's pretty clear who is in the right here."
• Cappie: "Why do you care that I care? Why is there no "Real World: Cleveland"? ... So many questions..."
• Rebecca: "Were there any signs that things were going bad between you two before you broke up?"
  Casey: "Well, he slept with you."
• Lol at Calvin and Heath walking in on Rusty when he was putting Ash's lipstick on his face to see if she was the mystery girl.
• Katherine: "Casey! Keep up!"
• Oh no, Katherine, please call you and Walter "a relationship"! That's what I'm calling it!
• Maybe Evan just doesn't like you, Rebecca. Because you're annoying!
• Evan really doesn't know Rebecca very well if he thinks she's going to make it through the whole party without causing drama about this.
• Rusty: "Shoulder! Is that the same thing as the arm?"
  Calvin: "Yeah, it's the top of the arm. Or the bottom of the neck."
• Lol, "Tripp and Dale" has replaced "Cap and Dale"
• Dale: "Jenga? It's my middle name!"
• Casey and Evan: "Why is she kissing my law professor?"
  Rusty: "Why is she kissing that old guy?"
• The roads are closed, and Heath's not coming :-( Boo, I miss Heath already.
• Casey: "And what is that age exactly? Does it start with a 3 or a 4?"
• Cappie: "Suck it, Kettle-smell!"
• Casey: "Are you blind already? Why else would you be dating someone who is old enough to be -- Color Me Badd! That's why you fanned them on Facebook!"
• Major LOL at Casey pointing at her elbow and saying, "Is this spreading?" when Ashleigh was trying to elicit support for Simon coming with them to Dobbler's.
• Lol at Dale asking Casey a complicated math problem so she'd have to kiss him! But she didn't! Aw, poor Daley.
• Whoa, that game of Truth or Kiss got real fast.
• Cappie kissed Evan!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!
• Ha ha at Evan gargling his beer after kissing Cappie.
• Ha at Dale telling Ashleigh that there's a bucket around if she needs to hurl after kissing Rusty.
• Ok, I'm sorry, but DOES Rebecca deserve to be treated better than this after her Truth or Kiss antics?! She did after all just announce to a group of people that Cappie is better in bed than Evan. Then she forced Casey to corroborate. And then she wonders why Evan is acting pissed off?! OY VEY.
• Aww, Ashleigh and Casey are not a college relationship. They will always be each other's soul mates.
• Oops! Reunion, interrupted! Casey is not thrilled to find out that Ashleigh kissed Rusty for real.
• What DOES Casey have to do with your breakup with Rebecca, Evan? Hmmm, let's think. I bet if we think really hard, we can figure it out...
• "Watch your back in law school. Because now the gloves are off." Oooh, that's real scary, Chambers.
  

All right, folks: And now for the main event! It's Cappie/Casey/Evan version 4.0 (5.0?). We've all seen it coming (again). It's time to settle this one once and for all. We are, after all, almost out of time...
