    This episode has three main threads; Rusty v Casey, Calvin and his new gay roommate and Evan and Cappie's blossoming love affair; hence the title. Rusty is forced into being understanding of his selfish sister's constant need for companionship. By the end of the episode we are meant to feel sorry for the girl who has never known anything but being surrounded by people who love her and hang on her every word. It must be hard coping with no boyfriend for a full month! Evan deciding he wants to make things up with Calvin, organises a room change for him. His new roommate being the Omega Chi that just told him that he's not 'the only gay in the village'. The question is uninspiringly: will they or won't they?

    Lastly, we have more secret society scenes featuring Evan and Cappie doing, guess what: fighting over a girl. Hmm, original. This episode relies on the formula of the previous season where episodes always end with Casey and Rusty talking and figuring out 'the moral of the story' together. Usually it works, but unfortunately it is becoming ever more challenging to relate to the shallow and self-centred character that is Casey. It's no surprise that Rusty is the more popular of the siblings in the forums!moreless

Cappie: 'Joan of Arcadia' was the one with the navy lawyers, right? Rusty: No, that's 'JAG'. Cappie: 'JAG'... Rusty: Yeah I watched that afterward with my dad. Cappie: God, I missed a lot of great television by having friends. It's a shame. Edit
