This third installment of the season is the type of episode I hate: besides the fact that ABC Family failed to correctly hyphenate the title, nothing that entertaining happens, and yet, our characters are catapulted forward in their respective narratives. First, let’s start with Casey, who is thrust into womanhood. (And her parents didn’t even need to spend a fortune on a Bat Mitzvah!) On her first day of law school, Casey quickly learns that pretty much everyone in the class thinks she sexed her way into getting admitted. Everyone, including two super-annoying married law students, who I really hope don’t become regulars (however accurate their portrayal of pretentious and self-righteous grad students may be.) Obviously Casey feels the need to confront her fellow students, including Evan, and her professor about the issue. See, normally, this would’ve cleared everything up, but it didn’t. The professor basically tells her to grow a set and stop relying on others to solve her problems for her. So, she studies all Elle Woods-like, and shows the annoying students how she really got in — on merit. Bend… and snap!

Like Ashleigh says, they’re not kids anymore. Oh, did I fail to mention that Ashleigh is back?! That didn’t take long. Chick couldn’t cut it in New York City (few can), and so she just up and left her job, which is almost annoyingly immature, and that’s saying a lot for these girls. After a great deal of procrastinating, Casey tells Ashleigh that she has to confront the situation and talk to her boss. When Ashleigh does, she gets fired. And that my friends is what happens in the real world. Although, in the real world, the boss would’ve stopped calling after one try. Also, how weird is it to go back to school after you graduate and want to avoid reality rather than going home? I guess I can ignore it because I’m just so damn happy Ashleigh is back. Apparently Amber Stevens is the new hot doctor on Grey’s. Too bad I refuse to watch that crap.

On the males’ side, while Cappie and Calvin come together for a school project that involves them getting high — which would explain Calvin’s continued wear of those horrible plunging v-necks — Rusty and Dale continue to move farther and farther apart. Rusty cannot fathom that the Omega Chis actually want Dale, and with the help of Dana he attempts to provide what he thinks Dale really wants — girls. Well, that’s not what Dale wants. Dale wants to be an Omega Chi. Rusty eventually realizes that, as well as the fact that this show has come completely full circle. Or maybe that was me that realized that. In a wonderful re-enactment of Season 1’s duct-taping scene, we/Rusty come to realize that the new pledge, Spidey, is Rusty freshman year. It will be interesting to see if Rusty emerges as Spidey’s Cappie. You know what i mean.

Ultimately, the little ones are all finally growing up, which I’m excited about, but I’d be even more excited seeing a little more Cappie/Casey. I guess I just have to be satisfied with the fact that Katherine is back!!!!! (Yes, that news is absolutely worthy of five exclamation marks.) Until next week…
