That's not going work for Casey. Omega Chi publicly humiliated ZBZ, and no way is she about to go crawling back to them. Uh, is Casey talking about the whole frat -- or a certain Evan Chambers?
Absolutely not! Not mixing with Omega Chi has nothing to do with Evan. Rrright -- even Ashleigh calls Casey on that one. So, okay. Casey goes to the Omega house to normalize relations with Dino, the president. Of course, Evan answers the door. Dino's not around. Anyway, the brothers aren't "doing business" with the Zetas right now, he says.
So Casey tells the Zetas that DINO turned her down flat, and the ZBZs are still poison over there. Ashleigh does a little fact-checking with Calvin -- and he's surprised. He hadn't heard anything about shutting down a mixer. The boys love the Zetas, except for Evan. Calvin pitches the idea of the ZBZ mixer -- and normalizing relations -- to his brothers. Evan moves against it -- the ZBZs put their interests first! Uh, is Evan talking about the whole sorority -- or a certain Casey Cartwright? Evan's argument doesn't stick, and the guys vote to party with the ZBZs.
At the mixer, Casey is on party patrol, checking IDs, stamping hands, and guarding the door. Guess who her partner is? EVAN! They have a hilarious spat that goes nuclear fast.
It's a past rehash with a twist -- Evan rush-humped Rebecca, and Casey still has feelings for Cappie. Newsflash, Evan: Of course she does! Just like Casey still has feelings for Evan. She's human, she makes mistakes, but that doesn't mean Evan can just dump her. The worst part: Evan couldn't even give Casey the second chance she gave him.
Later, Frannie finds Evan snuggling a bottle. She wants to apologize about what she did to him and Casey. But Evan doesn't want to think about Casey. Frannie thinks maybe she can HELP -- wink, wink. Evan goes in for a kiss, but Frannie pulls away. She's not interested in being a drunk guy's warm body for the night -- but she leaves the door open to more -- a lot more.
In the morning, Evan is on a mission: He's going to go tell Casey that he's an idiot and he wants her back. Guess who's standing at the Omega Chi door?
Casey. She just came by to say: She's done -- ready to move on. But what if Evan was less of a jealous idiot? Well -- maybe they could be friends. FRIENDS. Wow. Maybe Casey really is done.
Speaking of just friends -- Rusty is on the prowl. There's a girl in his American Lit class, Emma, but he's too shy to ask her out. Guess who plays wingman? DALE! It takes him like two seconds to score Rusty a date. In certain circles, Dale is known as quite the ladies man! Well, in purity pledge circles, mostly.
Rusty's date is a little awkward -- and not just because Dale tags along, with Emma's roommate, Tina, in tow. Rusty just can't be cool, no matter what. One date -- for coffee -- and he's burning mix CDs and sending care packages. Emma's freaked, and so's Dale. Meanwhile, Tina loves the idea of Dale's USAG group (University Students Against the Greek System). She joins it and promptly takes over the whole thing ... much to Dale's chagrin.
When Tina comes by Rusty's room, Dale hides under the bed. Rusty lectures Tina about invading Dale's turf. He tells her to back off, but Tina has a message of her own for Rusty: Back off Emma. He's scaring her. Rusty apologizes to Emma: He's just overly enthusiastic. Maybe if he totally put the brakes on, he could have another chance. Ummm, NO. That Emma's a smart girl.
Over in the Kappa Tau house, Cappie is sick -- like leper-colony sick, so Rebecca's going to catch a movie with friends. But Casey says she ALWAYS took care of Cappie when he was sick. Rebecca must be getting soft -- she caves and goes to see Cappie. Of course, her Florence Nightingale is more of a naughty nurse -- right down to the silk stockings and heels. Rebecca plans to love Cappie back to health ... until she sees his crusted-up eye.
Yep, pink eye. Nasty. Rebecca really tries to take care of him, but Cappie is a pain in the ass! It doesn't help that Rebecca feels she's competing with Casey's ghost. But when Cappie gets back on his feet, he lets her in on a little secret: Casey kept him in a cough-syrup coma when he was sick. She'd dose him and sneak out. So much for Saint Casey.
