Formal season at CRU! Cappie announces that the Kappa Taus are throwing a prom -- and Rusty's the prom Chairman. Rusty's hyped to fulfill these duties. Turns out he missed his own prom. Awww, poor Rusty. He's trying to make up for high school with the Kappa Tau shindig.

Ashleigh's running herself ragged planning the ZBZ Formal. She's so epically busy that she doesn't even bother with a date for herself! Frannie continues her campaign of evil by getting all the ZBZs dates with Omega Chis. Well, almost all of the sisters -- not the unfashionable ones.

Casey worries that Max might tank the election for her by being ... you know, a total geek at the formal. She makes flashcards for Max to memorize each ZBZ and their vital stats. After Evan bumps into Max and Casey practicing with the flashcards for the dance, Max backs out of going. He's afraid he'll embarrass her. He probs will! Later, Max runs into Rusty and Dale. Rusty lays it on thick about the formal being the most romantic night of the year, so Max changes his mind about the event. He calls take-backs on refusing to go (and takes the flashcards from Casey, too).

When Rusty shows up at the ZBZ house to borrow Casey's car, he says that depressed Cappie canceled the KT prom, Ashleigh sympathizes with Rusty so hard she invites him to the ZBZ Formal, promising to get him a date! That doesn't work out all that great since the dateless ZBZs would rather go stag than with Rusty Cartwright (harsh!). Casey convinces Ashleigh to be Rusty's date (so he can keep Max company).

Rebecca and Cappie hook up. Casey busts Cappie about it, and she warns him it's a horrible idea. He points out that the two of them (Cappie and Casey) hooked up after they were broken up. Casey informs him that that was different because it was after they were "cleansed" -- when they hooked up they'd been split for twice as long as they'd been dating. Cappie and Rebecca use the ZBZ formal as a chance to get busy all over the ZBZ house -- until they stumble into Casey's room (they were doing it in other people's beds? Um, freaky!) and the mood goes fubar. Everyone knows Cappie's not over Casey -- especially Rebecca, who's officially over Cappie's torch for Casey. She breaks up with him (again) and even says they might not even be friends. Not until she's cleansed anyway.

Guess who else isn't over Casey? If you guessed Evan, you win ... nothing but the knowledge you were right! Evan's chin hits the ground when he shows up to the ZBZ house to collect Frannie for the formal. Awkward! Evan decides to drown his sorrows in bourbon and misery -- Rusty's misery that Evan creates. Rusty's a little clueless, you see, and Evan rubs Rusty's face in the fact that the date with Ashleigh is a pity date. Rusty, whose big prom dreams are circling the drain, doesn't take this well. He paws at a confused Ashleigh and makes a fool of himself -- exactly the entertainment that Evan was looking for. Ashleigh groks what's going down and slow dances with Rusty, cuddling him and finally laying a kiss on him to show up Evan.

Casey confronts Evan about what a jerk he was to Rusty when Casey and Evan were dating (and period). Evan manages to come off as the biggest a-hole in the room by admitting he's involved with Frannie for strategic reasons, making a sarcastic confession of undying love to Casey, and basically comporting himself like a douche. Casey tears him a new one and flings that "I regret ever being with you!" card right in his face. Evan: not well played at all, man!

Of course, Max embarrasses himself, the viewing public, and Casey with his dire dance moves. He gets his watch caught in Frannie's hair (it has to be cut out). He also learns that Casey used to date Evan (someone on campus didn't know that?). Hurt, He storms off to the carriage ... did we forget to mention the carriage he rented for the formal? Casey apologizes, promising to do better. Max is a softie, so he caves, and they share a romantic kiss as the horse-drawn carriage pulls away.
