    There was a Joey the Fat One reference in this episode. Needless to say I was in love. That combined with the cute Animal Welfare league volunteer made this episode for me. I also liked how the Kappa Tau pledges were treating Rusty. It felt more realistic to me than how they'd been acting in the past. Dale makes me laugh so hard. Aversion therapy using rotten banana peels and male underwear catalogs. And Calvin getting one back on Dale using Leviticus... it was awesome.



    Ashleigh is so cute. I love how happy and perky she is. I'm not a huge fan of Lizzie but she is super cute sometimes :P

  • Several great arcs to choose from here.

    This one is my favorite episode of the young season thus far with many great moments ranging from the obviously hilarious Dale/Calvin moments which culminated with Dale thinking that he might be gay and Calvin making mention that they were going to have a talk about Dale's flag. Those were just good times in general. It's interesting to see a show on a Family channel deal with the issue of homosexuality, and, while a bit under the radar and off character as Dale's reactions were, it didn't do as bad as it could have.



    Cappie's relationship with Rebbecca is still a bit suspect, making me think that Rebbecca is working an angle, after all. Casey's speech basically set that up to happen, so I'll be waiting with non-bated breath to see that one transpire at some point in the season (probably the finale). One thing that I really, really liked about this episode: no Evan. I get tired of that guy under normal circumstances, but this season, he's been properly villainized, and he makes me yearn for Cappie laying down a good thumping -- which, admittedly, is a possibility after their confrontation in the last episode. Last season, the dude did come off as a bit sympathetic at times, and his disposition toward Cappie was understandable. This season, though, he's become what most thought of him beforehand: a douchebag.



    Also on highlight, Casey's ineptitude to deal with Cappie and Rebbecca's could-be disastrous relationship. Plans for a rendition of their fling? Could be.



    Overall, though, the episode picked up several ongoing arcs and took them a bit further, which is what the series really needs to do instead of running in place with the entire Greek punishment ordeal. Calvin and Dale make a great pairing of characters with endless potential for them as friends, and Rusty's newfound acceptance by his pledge brothers is sure to come crashing down soon.



    Plus, lest I forget to mention it, Egyptian Joe! That guy sounds like an infomercial host on heroine. Good times, indeed.

    Finally the appearance of Kappa Tau legend Egyptian Joe. All in all a great episode with a lot of funny moments and a lot of revealing juicy ones as well.



    So to start with the Calvin/Dale story line, I thought this was interesting, Dale trying to convert Calvin to the straight and narrow. It was great to see their relationship develop especially since Calvin and Rusty are on the outs. Calvin's revelation that Dale might be gay just to get him off his back was hilarious, when he threw out his Tim McGraw cd because his pants are too tight.



    It was clearly obvious that Rusty was on the outs with his fellow pledges, and this week proved that he needed to bond with them. I never noticed before that it does seem that in Cappie's eyes Rusty can do no wrong, good for Ben for pointing that out, cause it never really crossed my mind that his fellow pledges would be jealous of their relationship. We finally got to meet Egyptian Joe, after the vesuvius episode I had posted about him in the forum, wondering if he would ever grace us with his presence, especially after meeting Teagan in the first season finale. I liked the idea the pledges finally came up with, it was exactly what they needed to do, I was a little disappointed by the other guys lack of enthusiasm, but I was glad they all pulled through and that ending scene was hilarious, maybe one of the top of the series thus far, Rusty cat-calling his sister.



    The Casey/Cappie/Rebecca triangle was finally established tonight, after weeks of waiting it happened, and boy could Casey not handle it at all, case in point sleeping with the 16 year old animal shelter worker, and spraying Rebecca with the hose. I think that Cappie eluded to a lot when he said that Rebecca liked him for him, so we all knew that Casey dumped Cappie because she felt she needed more and that he was not the right image for her, she would have had to change him.



    Now Cappie revealed something to Rusty tonight that ties in to this past we are still so haz on, he told him that Egyptian Joe welcomed him into Kappa Tau when he was questioning things, could this mean that Cappie like Rusty was offered a bid at the two rival fraternities, Kappa Tau and Omega Chi, but unlike Rusty whose choice was made easy by Evan's infidelity with Rebecca. So my thought that when Cappie chose Kappa Tau, he left behind some people, hence where Egyptian Joe in his infinite wisdom chose to take Cappie under his wing, to give us the Cappie we know and love.





    A lot to ponder on tonight's episode, also I must give credit to Ashleigh, she was hilarious with her fanny pack crush. next week looks like it will be good, a little break with some fun pranks.
