Living someone else's life is NEVER a good idea. But sometimes, you don't figure out you're doing it until it's too late. Take Casey: She's prepping for the LSATs to get her mom off her back.

The prep class is freak city. Everyone has a nervous tic, a jimmy-leg, or a knee that just won't stop bouncing. The pre-law kids are all on the edge. Life is nothing but scores, scores, scores. Oh, right, and internships, resume-padding, and anything else that will get them into a law school. Casey finds it rather amusing -- until the teacher comes in with a pop quiz. If you can call the LSAT a quiz.

Casey turns to the only study-buddy she knows with LSAT experience: Evan Chambers. The boy does a pretty good job coaching her -- and blowing those dying embers into a new fire. He tells Casey the LSATs are like long Sodoku puzzles. You know, like the ones Casey did in bed with him on those long-ago Sunday mornings ... sigh.

At the next LSAT practice test, Casey goes to her happy place -- Sunday morning Sodoku -- and VOILA! She gets a 155. That's pretty good (apparently), high enough to celebrate at Dobblers ... and flirt a bit with Evan.

Ashleigh predicts that Evan and Casey will be back together soon. "No way!" says Frannie. Casey would never take him back after all she went through. Guess again, Frannie. Casey is going to have dinner with Mr. Chambers. Her treat.

"Here we go again." That's Rusty's take. When will she learn? Evan Chambers is incapable of being a decent friend. Rusty warns Casey: Evan must be working an angle.

At dinner, Evan gives Casey a "present": a Harvard Law Catalog. Evan's dad knows the admissions director, and Evan scored Casey a meeting with him. Harvard, hmm? Isn't that where Evan is going to go? Even Casey thinks that's a little creepy. Maybe Rusty was right. But Evan plays it like the pro he is: This isn't some elaborate ploy to get her back! Hey, if you're going to lie, lie big -- people might just believe you. It works on Casey.

But the law-school stress is getting to Casey. Now SHE'S got the jimmy legs! The Harvard interview has her turning into a test-prep freak.

Meanwhile, Frannie tricks Ashleigh into doing her evil bidding, with the help of a pitcher or two of beer. It's pretty genius, really. Frannie spots Shane, the guy Frannie knows Evan paid to ditch Casey. She reminds Ashleigh about how badly Shane treated Casey, then goads her into giving him a piece of her mind. Poor Shane, Ashleigh gets in his face. He takes it pretty well until Ash starts talking about what a great friend Evan is to Casey.

Shane's had enough. He tells Ash that Evan is not Casey's friend.

Casey goes straight to Evan with the story, and Evan admits to paying Shane off. You'd think Casey would be mad, pissed, out for blood -- but no. She's just sad. Paying a guy to ditch her? Who does that? It's pathetic. Evan says he did it because he loves her! Funny definition of love. Looks like Casey and Evan are over. AGAIN.

Casey is so down, she decides to blow off the Harvard interview. But Frannie won't let her -- Harvard is about Casey's life. Not Evan's.

Casey aces the interview, except for one little question. Why does Casey Cartwright want to be a lawyer?

The answer? She doesn't. That was Evan's dream and somehow, she just absorbed it along with their relationship. And she was ready to go ahead and live out Evan's life instead of her own.

Not such a good idea, Rusty tells her. And he should know. He got himself a fake ID this week -- along with all the other pledges at Kappa Tau. But Rusty's ID is special. It belonged to Chad Stewart, a singer-songwriter, world traveler, and Kappa Tau alum.

When a cute bartender cards Rusty, she flips. Not THE Chad Stewart! She always had this fantasy he'd walk into her bar. Rusty, who has studied Chad in depth (this is Rusty after all), chats her up about his --Chad's-- travels and music. The barkeep eats it up. She even invites Rusty to a PARTY.

A party with Townies! Dale is so down with that. At the party, the barkeep opens the door ... in a bridesmaid's dress? She wasn't totally honest with Rusty. Her sister Jill is getting married today. Their dad died last year, and it was Chad's music that got her through it all. She hands Rusty a guitar and tell him to sing as her sister comes down the aisle. Dale, by the way, is loving this!

Rusty tries to sing, but he can't. Really, he just totally sucks. He admits he's not Chad Stewart, but given the way the bride and groom go at each others throats, Rusty's performance may have been a bit of a blessing in disguise.

One more story tonight: Ashleigh doesn't have enough money to go on Spring Break next week, so she gets a credit card -- it comes with a free MP3 player and a thousand-dollar limit! She's buying drinks and new shoes and living it up ... until she tries to buy a pack of gum and her card is denied. She calls the company -- maybe they can set her up with a payment plan? But wait, they have a better idea: They raise her limit!
