Greek: The Tortoise and the Hare

Cast of ABC Family's Greek

This week Casey ponders her future and what her life will be like without the sorority and after graduation.  She is reminiscing about her recent stint in Washington and feeling a bit nostalgic.  Rusty is hard at work at his newly improved research lab since winning the Gary Wyatt Grant and Dale is feeling a little left out.  Because of his new found notoriety the Dean wants to meet Rusty, CRU’s new “wunderkind.”  During the faculty mixer Rusty bumbles on something about balls, or holding the balls of his fraternity brothers before finally relaying his inspiration to his research sponsor.  Back in the lab Rusty’s new assistant has arrived, and it is none other than spurned love interest, Dana.

Casey goes to Rebecca seeking advice on how to break into politics and begins working on a student voter registration drive.  She struggles at first getting students motivated to register, until Rebecca shows her the way of voter manipulation.  She delivers the registrations to campaign headquarters and comes up with a plan for increasing turnout that involves nothing other than a party at Dobbler’s.

Dale is hired on as the new hasher at ZBZ since the former hasher was left as a pile of ash after his failed relationship with Ashleigh.   His religiosity starts to overflow onto the sisters of ZBZ and they approach Ashleigh to get a “hotter” hasher that they can hook up with.  When Dale learns about Ashleigh’s relationship with the previous hasher he misinterprets her intentions and resigns from his position because he “can’t be her new hasher/boy toy.”  Dale’s replacement doesn’t seem to do the job and he starts to creep out the sisters because even though he’s “smoking hot” he seems kind of “pervy.”  So despite the fact that Dale is weird and judge-y they want him back.

With graduation looming Casey decides to approach Cappie about the future and what that means for their relationship.  Evan warns Cappie that if he doesn’t watch it he’ll be the only one left at CRU…just him and his turtles.  Despite his love for the university Cappie lets Casey know that he can’t be anywhere that doesn’t have her, and urges her to go after her dreams.

This week we learn from our brothers and sisters at Cyprus Rhodes University about potential.   We all have an immense amount of potential, but sometimes lack the drive to succeed.  There are times in each person’s life were we seem a little lost and without direction.  What is important is that we each follow a path that is true to us and that we continually challenge ourselves to live up to our potential.  Sometimes that path is slow and steady (like the tortoise) and sometimes it is fast and furious (like the rabbit).  There will be both times of triumph and failure but with each new experience you are one step closer to your potential.  You are one step closer to your dreams…it just takes that first step!
