So there was Calvin, there was Grant (was it me or was his hair much lighter looking? ) but there was no Calvin & Grant aside from a phone call and mentions from Calvin. Hmmm. Calvin saved the comic-con for me and he's also a stronger person than I am cause I would have likely said something very blunt & unfriendly to Rusty at this point cause I JUST CANNOT TAKE HIS SELF-ABSORBED WHINING ANYMORE. I liked the Ashleigh/Fisher stuff and it was nice that they realized getting back into the groove wasn't a snap. The Cappie-Casey-Evan stuff was kinda interesting. I liked Casey's admission of feeling guilt about the 3 of them not being friends but I wasn't really feeling the storyline. The only time I enjoyed it was when it just Cappie and Evan. Overall, I wasn't all that impressed with the ep. Hopefully next week will be better.

Unfortunately... way to little Beaver, far too much frackin' Rusty! Geez, that character just keeps rubbing me the wrong way this season.

Can we talk about the fact that we had to suffer through Rusty and Jordan's "first time" together in far too graphic detail (naked on couch EWWWW) but all we get from Calvin is a casual mention that his relationship has gone "to the next level". BLOODY HELL!!!

Uh uh, when one of the main characters (which, surprisingly, Calvin is) speaks about 'doubt' when in a relationship with a not-part-of-the-core-group-character, that's usually that character's cue to prepare for his exit stage left.
Which, if Grant showed his true colors last night, would lead me to say: Good riddance, douche!
Interestingly, as is often the case, the richest, fullest developed character during this episode was... Dale. Is it because the actor has more diverse acting experience than the others? Discuss...
Rusty continues to irritate me so much that I really can't stand having him on screen at this point. I yelled 'SHUT UP, RUSTY!' basically before he opened his mouth every time and every time, he deserved it. It's been a while (How's life treatin' you in L.A., Ameera?) that I got so mad over a fictitious character, but he drives me up the wall by his presence alone.
How cute were Heath and Beaver together fronting that drinking game? Ohhhhhh... Beaver, don't be shy. Put that arm around Heath the next time. He won't bite. Or will he?
Oh, and someone should give Evan a hug. How about it, Rebecca?

I agree with every thing you said and just wanted to give you a Shout Out Gaytime! Word! I'd take 30 minutes of Dale just standing there passing out "Come to Jesus" cards to strippers and drunken frat boys over 1 minute of Rusty doing almost anything. It's not the actors fault. He's spot on at doing the "completely irritating, socially awkward, thick-headed clueless, whiny neurotic nerd" thing but I just can not handle him. Ashley is all over the place. She was all bringing the full on biotch with Fisher but is the most ineffectual, incompetent president I've ever seen. Rebecca and the "Moving On" girl are the only female characters that interest me or make me pay attention when they are on screen. Evan needs his money to balance out his nerdy awkward side because dude is seriously NOT cool without the cash. He's too sweet to be evil and it doesn't really work with out the "rich boy swagger" to give him some edge. I've always seen that he had a soft spot for Calvin and even Cappie but now he's just all soft spot all the time which is very, very boring. Beaver and Heath are meant to be. We need to get a campaign going with ABC Family. Beaver needs to do some college experimenting like yesterday!!!

Well isn't the actor that plays Grant on the Here network show Dante's Cove that I believe has started filming a new season. So maybe this is there way of releasing the actor to his prior commitments.
But I'm glad that Calvin has a good friend in Evan and vice verse.

No Calvin or Grant last night, but lots of Heath (the Turkey hunt was funny). And most surprisingly, Rusty wasn't annoying in the episode. At least not to me. I actually enjoyed the episode a lot despite no Ashleigh.

Rusty is best when he's involved with Dale and Cappie and being a scientist. I actually really loved him last night. Beaver and Heath clearly need to get it on. Heath threw it out there so it's time for the secret love confession already!! Then Wade can comfort Beaver after Heath leaves I'm glad Cappie and Casey are back together just so they can stop talking about it. Also Rebecca and Evan need to happen, should have stuck before. They balance each other out and can be real with each other. I love the KTs so any KT heavy episode is great with me!

Ugh Grant and the other brothers, they have been bad boys. I'm happy with how far Calvin and Evan have come. And I'm not too upset what Evan did, everyone has a breaking point. He's had a really tough year and he just wanted to be who he used to be when things were simpler.
I still don't like Rusty, I just find him annoying.

I liked last night's episode. Glad that Calvin put Grant on notice about his behavior. Rusty didn't bother me last night either. Wow, 2 eps in a row with that. While I get that Evan is under pressure and that he had to something to seal that he's the Omega Chi president, I don't like how he sold out Cappie to do it. That last minute "run" changes little to me. I only like Evan in his scenes with Calvin though I was warming up with his rekindled friendship with Cappie. I see that will continue cause outside of that, I want to punch him in the face. Him and the ginger Omega Chi asshole. BONG VOYAGE, HEATH! ;D Awwww, I do like Cappie/Casey. I see problems brewing with Ashleigh & Fisher. And Gamma's house burning down... oops.

Would it kill the show to let Grant and Calvin have more than a few seconds screen time? Have we every seen them cuddle or make out or hug even? They share a room, could we at least get to see them having a full discussion about the issues they are having with each other in their room for more than a sound bite?
I was so distracted by that it was hard to focus on other thing.
Ashleigh and Fisher, I'm kind of over Ashleigh. I just don't do insecure and she's so suspicious and insecure you'd think Fisher had a harem on speed dial on his cell phone.
I wish they would give more background for why Ashleigh seems to be unable to move on. Was her mother a cheater? Did she have a cheating boyfriend before? Anything to help me understand why that one stupid kiss is such a huge freaking deal to her.
The time to worry about your boyfriend is not when he's standing in broad daylight in front of you having a conversation with some random chick and LEAVES HER to come over and congratulate and support you.
I'm just kind of over it. If this is the best they can do to give Ashleigh a relationship, I'd rather see her single. She was a doormat with the first boyfriend, then lost the second potential boyfriend to Cassie. Then her boyfriend kisses Rebecca and not she's like some Lifetime Movie character.
Rusty, Dale, GOOD STUFF.
I love when the KTs and Omegas fight. The brick wall was GENIUS!!! That's what frats do. I don't want to see Evan and Cappie lose their friendship AGAIN over stupid Casey.
Getting Wade and the other KT guys expelled was OVER THE TOP and I can't really deal with Evan not doing something about that or rectifying it because Beaver can't loose Heath AND Wade in the same semester.

It wasn't about Casey. Not really, at least because while Evan still sees her as the perfect girl, it was about Evan trying to hold on to being president of Omega Chi and not losing that power too (along with the money and - solely in his mind by this point - the girl). He chose power over his friendship with Cappie because he felt it was all he had left in his life to fight for. I thought it made sense for the character of Evan even though I think it was a shitty thing to do to a friend. What happened wasn't about Casey or even Evan's friendship with Cappie. It was about Evan holding on to the one thing he had left that gave him prestige & a sense of meaning no matter what: his Omega Chi presidency.
And then he ran to Rebecca for some sexual healing after Cappie blew him off for the double cross. While I think Cappie understands Evan's motivations, doesn't mean he does or should forgive him because Cappie's trust in Evan cost him 3 brothers.

While I think Cappie understands Evan's motivations, doesn't mean he does or should forgive him because Cappie's trust in Evan cost him 3 brothers. Yeah Evan's world was falling apart around him. He was trying to stand on his own two feet since the choice to leave his trust fund. He really doesn't know who he is right now, but he knows who he was. He had his brothers respect and admiration, he had no boundaries and no consequences. And that can be a powerful pull and he had a bunch of peer pressure pulling down on him from the guys. With only Calvin in his corner and Cappie despised by the brothers Evan snapped. Yes he made the wrong choice and yes he is going to have to work on it to make up for it. But right now I hope that Evan and Cappie can make up. I actually find them more interesting together than either of the boys with Casey.

Ya, I am really surprised at what Evan did.... but with all the stress he went through this year, I guess it is an eventuality that he will snap... Sadly, I was really hoping to see a nice long period of Cappie/Evan friendship before something like this happens.... If they really need to have an antagonist, they can easily bring in another frat or something like what they did with the sorority council president....
I can't believe they got 3 of the KT brother expelled... really hoping that rectify that somehow when they come back next season....

Hello Everyone ! Please watch Greek .... HELP SAVE GREEK before its too late !!! Greek, which occasionally gives us the gay romance between Calvin and Grant, played by Paul James and Gregory Michael respectively, is in ratings trouble and could be facing cancellation. The network is going to look closely at the ratings when the show returns later this month before making a decision about the college dramedy’s future. Thank you ! Share this with a friend !!!!

Great episode last night. I loved seeing Calvin interacting with Dusty and Evan. What Grant did was courageous although a little bit "forced" by Calvin actions. But I can't help thinking there's a lack of chemistry between them. And Heath is back...
