Episode Recap

It's all for fun -- and a little friendly wager between Rebecca, Casey, and Frannie. Rebecca bets doing laundry for a month, but Frannie ups the ante: The losing coaches have to clean their frat's bathrooms. Nice. Casey had almost forgotten how much fun Frannie is when she's being bad.

Frannie coaches the Omega Chis, and Casey has the jocks -- and man, does she have some serious jocks. Especially this one hottie named Shane. They both have a shot at winning, but Rebecca ... she's stuck with the Kappa Taus. And judging by the way they do their push-ups (girl style) Rebecca is going to be scrubbing toilets for a long, long time.

Frannie is playing a bigger game -- with Evan. Oh, she's subtle: "You're all wet," she coos to a sweaty Mr. Chambers. Evan stammers about the other night -- the infamous kiss of Episode 16. Frannie lets him off the hook: It was a drunken mistake, and she tells him she truly wants to be his friend. Friends with Frannie -- that doesn't sound good.

Later, Evan takes Casey up on her offer to "be friends." Casey is interested, mildly, until Shane crosses her field of vision. "...What was that you were saying, Evan?" Jealousy, thy name is Evan Chambers. This Shane thing is tearing him up.

And whose shoulder does Evan lean on? That's right: Frannie. But she's not interested in a pity party about Evan's fate. Fate, destiny-- those fantasies are for poor people, otherwise there wouldn't have a state lottery. (Yes, she SAYS that!) She tells Evan to take control and make his own destiny. Evan needs to start using what he's got, because he's got a lot.

Finally, the moment we've all been waiting for: a beauty pageant for the frat boys. Why not? Any excuse to get Cappie, Evan, and Shane in their undies is okay by us.

The winner is ... Shane! He couldn't have done it without Casey. She was his muse, and he'd like to take her out for a drink. But while Casey goes out to gloat, Evan has a little heart-to-heart with Shane. He offers Shane $500 to stay away from Casey. Shane tells him to get out of his face, and the price goes up -- to $1,000.

How high does Evan go? We'll never know, but Casey waits and waits for Shane. When he finally arrives, he's not up for a drink. Not tonight. Not any night.

The next day, Evan stops by Zeta Beta to see if Casey wants to be his study buddy. Casey agrees. Kind of makes you feel all dirty inside.

Rebecca isn't about to scrub toilets ... or lose to Casey Cartwright. Rusty, being Casey's bro and all, bears the brunt of Rebecca's rage. It doesn't help that Cappie makes Rusty her personal assistant. Rusty tries -- really -- but when Rebecca has him scheduling her Brazilian wax appointments, Rusty is ready to complain to Cappie.

"NO! NO! NO!" The Kappa Taus cry. Never complain to a bro about his girlfriend. That would break the Guy Code. You have to accept your bro's girlfriend even if she's totally wrong for him. Unless Rebecca is putting Cappie in mortal danger, Rusty needs to keep smiling and scheduling those waxing appointments.

But Rebecca keeps pushing, and Rusty has to tell Cappie the truth. Cappie, however, beats him to it: Is Rebecca driving Rusty crazy? Taking this thing too seriously? Emasculating him? The answer to that would be: umm ... yes? Why didn't Rusty come to Cappie sooner? "Not the Guy Code," says Cappie. "Do you know how many lives have been lost to the guy code?," he asks. Cappie promises to abolish it, but first, they have to save Rebecca from herself.

Sometimes you have to hurt someone to help them. And watching Cappie and Rusty throw the Mr. Purr-Fect Pageant is about as much pain as Rebecca can stand. Cappie is not just sabotaging the competition, he's saving their relationship. Since when does Rebecca FREAKIN' Logan care about collegiate pageants? "Oh my God," she says. Cappie braces for a punch and gets ... a kiss. Very, very sweet.
