Greek: Mock Trials and Tribulations

Greek:
"Subclass Plagiostomi"

Ok, kids. Grab your tissues: by my calcu- lations this is the third to last episode of Greek. What a sad state of the world we find ourselves in...

Let's brace ourselves. No more weeping tonight--we'll get to that in (sob) two weeks.

Highlights and observations:

• Evan's hair looks even shorter this week.
• Evan: "Oh, it's totally personal." Ha. Oh, Evan.
• Beaver describing Joshua Whopper as "the Asian in the basement."
• Cappie: "Dale-y won't even do book club anymore. Even after I shared my erotic fixation with the Bronte sisters."
• Ashleigh and Cappie are taller than everyone else at the job fair. That has to count for something.
• Ok, this sounds promising: a former professor with a new marketing business. Well, it seemed promising until I saw that webisode...
• Tripp fixed Dale up with NATALIE?!? Ha ha ha. There's a couple I can get behind.
• Evan has no tie today, but he is wearing a vest.
• No, Evan, no, you do not miss Rebecca!! PLEASE tell me this is just Evan being diabolical and playing mind games with Casey. Phew, it is just Evan being diabolical! Close call, there.
• I seriously prefer Evan being evil to Evan missing Rebecca.
• Lol at post-coital Katherine (and uneasy Casey).
• Katherine: "A shark would just (hand motion) tear him limb from limb."
• Whoa, Ash has found herself a sugar daddy. This is making me uneasy.
• Katherine: "You better watch out, because we are so ready! We're like 22-year-old virgins, and I should know, having been one."
• HA! Katherine just slapped panicking Casey! Oh. My. Gosh.
• Casey: "Does this say 'shark' to you?"
  Cappie: "Werewolf, actually."
• Natalie (to Rebecca): "Maybe you can have your formal with the Tri-Pi's. You were a lesbian once, right?"
• Rebecca: "I burned your house down once. I'll do it again."
• It's nice how upset Rebecca is over this Dale thing. I didn't know she was such a fan of Dale's. Granted, a lot of her anger is a result of Natalie trying to take down the ZBZs, but I think she's got a soft spot for Dale.
• Cappie: "Are they talking about Sigourney Weaver?"
• Holy crap, the Omega Chis have sunk to a new low. Messing with Dale is like kicking a puppy. Who knew Evan was a steadying moral force in that house?
• Whoooooaaaaaaaa. Evan's saying all his evilness is because Casey took herself away from him and then took Rebecca away? Uh, ok. I love Evan, but even I'm not buying this one. I seem to remember him being a little evil before Casey broke up with him.
• Casey's not having it. She calls Evan's bluff--except it wasn't a bluff this time. And Evan's sad. Awwww.
• Rusty: "Natalie told Rebecca, who is the world's weirdest Dale defender, but I still believe her."
• Uh oh, Cappie's speaking the truth about this Ashleigh/Simon situation. And being logical. And smart. That's always a little disconcerting.
• Can you call opposing counsel as a witness?
• Oh dear, Dale has no pants.
• Dale's dance moves leave something to be desired.
• OMG, the evil Omega Chis had Dale take off his shirt and moon the audience! Oh no.
• Aww, Dale's going to finish the song! And Rusty and Calvin went out on stage in their underwear too for moral support! (Aside from the underwear, this scene reminds me of Little Miss Sunshine.) How sweet! There's "brotherhood" for you. (Can I get the odds on someone using that exact line in the next 10 minutes?)
• It's too bad Heath's not around for this talent show performance. We all know that he doesn't have a problem dancing around in his underwear ;-)
  
• Oh no, Dale's pummeling Tripp! Come on, land a punch to the face at least, Dale!
• So if Tripp and the Omega Chis were just messing with Dale and aren't the ones doing the other KT sabotage, who is?
  
• Um, if this is how Casey and Evan are treating each other, maybe it's good they didn't go to law school as a couple. This is bad enough as it is.
• Rusty: "I guess the whole school's seen us naked now. It's kind of nice to have that out of the way."
  

So, at this point, it's time for me, as a sometime Casey/Evan shipper, to concede that we've run out of time. Casey and Evan as a couple is not going to happen*. At this point, it's looking iffy on whether they'll even get to the point of being friends again by the time the show's over. Not to mention Evan and Cappie! We've got a lot of relationship/friendship angst to heal in a short amount of time.

*At least by the end of the series. I suppose they may leave the possibility of a future reunion slightly still on the table.

Previews for next week: Oh NO! It's Franny! Personally, I could have lived if Frannie hadn't showed up in the final batch of Greek episodes. I have not missed her.
