    Not the most exciting episode but it did have its moments. Kappie's just fantastic. And he work amazingly well being romantically paired with Rebecca Logan. But somehow I don't trust her not to mess him up even more than Casey did.

    The Zeta Betas are having a hard time of it. After the graffiti on their building to having Lizzy from Corporate Office (or whatever they call it) coming to evaluate them, and being shunned by all I don't think Presidency (even if it's only int-rum presidency) is going quite how Casey imagined. But those sweet Kappa Tau's came to the rescue at the Kissing Boothmoreless

    Finally, Greek is back!! I missed Cappie and Rusty the most!
    So...Rebecca and Cappie...they may start to be a couple! I'm ok with this as long as Rebecca dont be a biatch again!!
    I never liked Evan and Casey, but in this episode I was hoping they get back togheter! But after the things he said in the carnival, I get back to hate him!
    Omega Chi! They're soo homofobics!! Compare their reaction with Kappa Tau! I think Calvin should join it!
    And when we thought we get rid of Frannie, that Lizzie shows up! How could she be worst than Frannie!?!??!
    Rusty has to get over Jen K!! He is boring and irresponsable! That's not the Spitter we know!moreless

    Cappie and Rebecca have been seeing each other over break, and Rebecca decides that she would like to stop seeing Cappie.

    The Greeks have a carnival.
    Evan strips Casey of her title as Omega Chi Sweetheart and her lavaliere at the carnival.

    AH! GREEK is quickly becoming one of my favorite shows. Before the midseason finale, you could tell that we were just beginning to know the characters and there was a lot of character development. We've now reached the point at the midseason finale where were heading towards great storylines and awesome story arcs. It's the start of the second semester, and Rusty and Casey return to Cyprus Rhodes both dealing with break-ups. Cappie and Rebecca deal with their fling they had that could and probably will lead to more. And its the aftermath of the tragedy that turned the greek system upside down. Rusty misses Jen K. and it is intererring with his life at Kappa Tau. ZBZ gets an unexpected vistor, a ZBZ alum, Lizzie who is there to report back to the greek system and will stay there until they are standing on their own two feet again. Calvin and Ashleigh make up. With all these new rules for the GREEK system, they put on a All Greek Back to School Carnival for the charity of choice made by Dean Bowman. Cassie kisses Cappie at the Zeta Beta Zeta kissing booth and Rebecca gets jealous. It looks like this fling will turn into something more. Evan asks Casey for his letters back.moreless

    The second season premiere was filled with excitement right from the very beginning. It all started with Casey and Rusty coming back the Cyprus-Rhodes from the break and trying to settle back into they're college lives. Over the break, Cappie and Rebecca have been having a fling, but they've planned on ending it when the new semester starts.
    Casey can't quite get over Evan or Cappie, so this problem tends to make things a little messy throughout the episode, not even mentioning the fact that Evan really isn't over her, and Cappie might not be either. And Rebecca is into Cappie.moreless
