tvbopper: ‘greek’ recap-pie: season 4. episode 5. “home coming and going.”
Damn, Greek. You are killing me! But, we’ll get to Casey and Cappie later. Let’s talk about the other less-hot storylines first.
First up is Rusty and his new Little Brother, Spidey. There was a chance that Spidey wouldn’t want to be Rusty’s Little — he wanted to be Cappie’s. Although non-Greeks might think Rusty’s disappointment over Spidey’s original decision was an overreaction, I know firsthand how political Big-Little match-ups can get. I didn’t quite know that it happened in fraternities, but some sorority sisters can get really attached to pledges, and, want to be their Bigs. It’s the pledge mom’s job to make sure everyone’s happy. Fortunately Rusty showed his cool side just in time by concocting a plan to steal the rival team’s mascot during Homecoming. How Saved by the Bell of them! And just who gave them this idea? Peter’s father, KT alum, and The Single Guy himself, Jonathan Silverman. I think Greek might just have the most random and awesome guest appearances ever. Although Dale and his merry band of fellow pledges concocted a plan a la The Thomas Crown Affair to steal the mascot as well, KT prevailed! On somewhat of a sidenote, I love Peter, and sort of think he looks like Andrew Garfield, who will be the next Spiderman. Weird!

Heath and Calvin are having trouble connecting, but it seems like much of it is fueled by poor communication skills and some yenta-ing by Rebecca. Ultimately, Heath admits he was a stripper and a low-rent paper thief, while Calvin admits he is undeclared, and, oh yeah, he loves Heath! Don’t worry — Heath reciprocated the sentiment. The only thing that bothered me about this whole plot point is the constant attempt at making Heath look like he has no depth, or rather, that he’s stupid. Didn’t we already establish that he got into medical school, and that he’s actully very intelligent? I mean, he watched Everwood for G-d’s sake! Leave the idiocy to Beaver (who we didn’t get nearly enough of after last week’s episode. Also, where’s my girl, Catherine?!)
Like Calvin told her, his problems with Heath in this episode were caused entirely by Rebecca, who appears to be meddling in everyone else’s relationships so that subconsciously they will be as miserable as she seems to be with Evan, and, more obviously, so her friends, namely Heather, remain single and available to her. I would be angry with her if it wasn’t just so sad, and Evan is just so clueless. I wouldn’t be surprised if she catches Evan with a pledge (Heather maybe?), and Rebecca’s Casey transformation is complete.
The final relationship to discuss is actually Casey and… Ashleigh’s. Ashleigh has been staying in Casey’s room for five weeks. That’s just annoying, and I don’t blame Casey for wanting Ashleigh to move on. It appears Ashleigh thinks Casey needs to move on to… from Cappie. This is the side of Ashleigh that I’ve always hated. She really is pretty spoiled — when things aren’t going her way, she has to shit on other people’s lives. She tells Casey that she’s living in a fairytale with Cappie, which was way harsh, Tai. Hopefully things will start looking up for Ashleigh because this Ashleigh is a biatch. As much as I assumed she would have an affair with Casey and Evan’s law professor, looks like things finally start to happen for her and Rusty next week. I’m sure that will help her relationship with Casey. Oy.
Aaand finally, Cappie and Casey. They do it. What does it all mean? Guess we’ll find out next week! Until then, I’ll be sitting here watching that last Casey/Cappie scene over and over again. Sigh.
P.S. Collegepartymonster.org doesn’t exist, but when you search for it, look at the results! (specifically, the first sponsored link.) Whaaa?!
P.P.S. Straight shots of cheap vodka are something I will not miss about college.
