Greek

Previously on Greek:

Look, I realize this is awkward.

You said you liked me, and I didn't remember you.

Then I asked you out, and you blew me off.

now I see why it's awkward, for you.

I convinced Rebecca to come to our Valentine's party.

I want to show the girl who claims she doesn't believe in love

how much she means to me.

- Is that from Evan? - I've decided I like it.

He thinks he has a future with you.

Don't you think you're giving Evan the wrong idea

when you don't feel the same way?

I don't want to get serious with him.

- How about we go upstairs? - Oh, my God!

- What about law school? - I thought about law school, but it was for a boyfriend.

Maybe you should consider it for yourself.

If I get into CRU Law and you find a major that you love

then maybe we could end up graduate at the same time.

I'm just not sure I'm ready to graduate and leave here.

- What about you and Casey? - I don't really know.

Hmm. Morning.

Good morning!

Looks like you have a new Jeremy on your hands.

Right on time, Dumper.

Mardi Gras breakfast beer?

It has zero essential vitamins and minerals.

Right. Mardi Gras. I'd love to, but I'm taking the LSAT today.

Are you sure you need that to get into law school?

The Law School Admission Test? Yes, I'm sure.

- That will be all, Dumptruck. - Thank you, sir.

Aw. I remember when you were a pledge you used to say,

"One day, someone will wake me up with beer."

- It's as special as I'd hoped. - We've come a long way.

I'm taking the LSAT, you're getting beer brought to you

and declaring a major. We're practically grown up.

- Yep. - So...

...did you? Fill out your major declaration form?

- Uh... yes. - Really?

With three majors. I got so excited I couldn't stop writing.

At least you're narrowing down the choices. What are they?

Um, if I tell you, then they won't come true.

Cap, are you not taking this seriously?

I swear I am. But today is about you and your test. OK?

- How are you feeling about it? - I'm taking your advice.

I'm trying to clear my mind

- and not think about it too much. - Always worked for me.

And then you can come by the Mardi Gras Spectacular

and forget all about it. Speaking of Mardi Gras,

- there's this tradition where... - No way.

It's time for the first parade of the day!

Go play with your friends.

Oh, hey, good luck on your test!

- Remember, don't be nervous. - I won't be.

Rusty, we're working in the lab later, right?

Yeah, but I have to leave a early to help Kappa Tau

set up for our Mardi Gras party.

Right, your frat world.

Here's hoping you have both eyebrows in the morning.

I will because I have a date for the party.

- I'm actually on my way to meet her. - Oh, what's her name?

Her name... Wait a minute.

Is this weird for us to talk about this?

- Why? - Because of the whole nerd auction thing

when you liked me and hated me all in one conversation.

We're past the "will they/won't they" hump.

Now we know we won't, it clears a path for us to be friends.

I guess. I've just never had a girl friend before.

- That doesn't surprise me. - I mean a girl, pause, friend.

That doesn't surprise me, either.

But you should give it a try.

Sure, why not? OK, girl-pause-friend,

I'm gonna introduce you to my date.

You can tell me what you think.

Let me guess. Vapid sorority girl?

No. Not exactly. Hello, Katherine.

Rusty, hi.

- Whatcha reading? - The latest Franka comic strip.

She's a Dutch sleuth who takes on the likes of shady businessmen

- and pirates and smugglers. - Ooh.

I would share but the humor doesn't translate.

Katherine, this is Dana.

She is my lab assistant on my project. And my friend.

- She's also a Space Plasma Physics major. - Oh, good for you.

Yeah, I'm fascinated with the Kinetic Molecular Theory.

- Oh! - So, Rusty, I picked up some Mardi Gras masks.

I wanted you to try them on to make sure they don't overpower your small head.

- Oh, thanks. - OK.

- What do you think? - Well, she's not vapid.

She's great! Great.

There you are!

Are you coming to Dobler's for Mardi Gras tonight?

Evan is going with Rebecca and Pete is meeting me

after he gets back from his lacrosse game in Chicago.

Don't you just love Mardi Gras? It's the perfect holiday.

It doesn't have the added romantic pressure

of Valentine's Day or the unflattering color palette of St. Patty's Day.

But sometimes you have to take the LSAT.

Oh, my God! Oh, I'm sorry.

I'm blabbing on about parties and boys

when you've got the most important test of your life.

- Well, not of my life. - No, you're right.

So just relax. It's like any other test, only four hours longer.

Why the hell have I been designated sober sister on Mardi Gras?

Because you were the only person not at the meeting when we did the vote.

If your meetings weren't so stupid, I might attend.

Dale, you take such wonderful care of us here at ZBZ.

- Thank you. - We would like to show our thanks

by making you our honorary ZBZ sober sister tonight.

No can do. I'm going to the KT Mardi Gras party tonight.

But you don't drink. Or have fun. What's the point?

It's a perfect opportunity to show people you can have fun without drinking.

You saying that makes me want to drink.

I don't know why I thought I could study here.

No, but I made you a study snack.

A fish medley, with blueberries. It's brain food.

Thanks, but brain is already full. Of knowledge.

- Want me to put it in a to-go box? - No, no.

I'll eat it.

Hey, Cap. So...

We want to make this Mardi Gras tradition called a king cake.

You bake a plastic baby into a cake,

and whoever gets the slice with it has a lucky year.

- Do it. - Yes!

This is gonna be a great Mardi Gras party.

I know. First beads and now cake.

And I'm bringing Katherine as my date.

What? I like her. I know, she's a little strange,

but she's really pretty under those head bands and pearls.

Have a seat. Come here.

Spitter, do you know what Mardi Gras is?

It's French for Fat Tuesday which is a culmination

of a carnival period beginning with the Twelfth Night.

Wrong. It's a time when we try to get girls to show us their boobs for beads!

- I don't think Katherine's that type of girl. - Exactly.

Mardi Gras is about debauchery. And sex.

You only bring a girl if you know there's going to be both.

- That's why I'm bringing your sister. - I got it.

If you bring a date to this party, you can't throw beads at any other girls.

You don't want the first time you see your date's snack trays

to be the first time everyone else sees them, too.

I think Katherine will really love this party.

- She really likes jazz. - Jazz?

You don't deserve these.

That necklace looks great on you.

- Are you trying to get me back upstairs? - Yes.

See you tonight.

Cal!

Look, I know you're pissed at me. I don't blame you.

But it's not gonna happen again.

I pawned my laptop to pay back the house.

Hmm. What are you gonna pawn next?

I'll just take on some more work.

That sucks. I'm sorry.

Thanks. It's not that bad.

I made 50 bucks last night catering.

I'm practically rolling in it.

Regardless, I just wanted to apologize.

- Cool? - Yeah, cool.

Oh, gosh! Oh, goodness.

- Need these? - Joel! Hi.

What are you doing here?

Standing around with napkins waiting for a spill.

- And getting coffee. - Well, you've come to the right place for both.

- Thanks. - Oh, God, this book.

For a while, this was the bane of my existence.

- How are your nerves? - Um, you know, my mind is clear.

Feeling calm, trying not to think about it too much.

That's impressive. I was such a mess the week before the LSAT,

I couldn't sleep or eat for a week.

Me either. People keep telling me not to be nervous,

and I'm trying to take their advice.

That'd be nice, but I don't see how you could.

You're about to take a test that's the most important factor

- in getting into law school. - Exactly!

- It's a really big deal! - The biggest.

So freak out now instead of freaking out in the test.

OK, because I've put all of my eggs into one basket,

and if I don't get into law school then I have nothing.

So, I am... I am currently freaking out!

- Good for you. - Oh... my God.

I was trying so hard not to be nervous,

it was making me nervous.

- Thank you for the help. - You're welcome. I gotta go.

Another trick that helped was having a lucky talisman.

I had this sweatshirt I wore the whole time I was studying.

It got pretty gross at the end, but it worked.

Can I borrow it?

You don't want to go to law school that badly.

Dana?

- What are you doing? - I'm seeing if you need any help.

Yeah, I'm actually the assistant and you're the roommate.

What are you doing here?

Rusty said I could play with his lab equipment.

- Tell her. - We're leaving for the KT party soon anyway.

You can have the whole place to yourself.

- Right, your big date night. - Date?

Cappie didn't say anything about a date. I don't have one

since Retainer Girl left me emotionally and physically scarred.

Relax, you do not need to bring a date.

Apparently.
