Previously on Greek...
[Evan] Can't we just admit we both made some mistakes,
- and move on? - I deserve better.
- Even Casey thinks so. - Chambers.
It's no free pass, being the progeny of the elite.
I believe it took JFK Jr. Three tries to pass the bar.
- Dale's pledging Omega Chi. - Maybe they were the ones who called the cops
on our rush party, to get back at us for spring break.
They're definitely messing with Dale. His being a pledge, it's all a lie
to get back at you for spring break. Now, Dale's gonna embarrass himself
- at the Pledge Talent Show. - In the market for a marketing job?
Actually, yeah. Do you know anyone who's hiring?
- Me! - If you're to proud to accept help from time to time,
- then you really are a terrible president. - Tegan doesn't think
that I can do this on my own. I have to prove that I can.
To Tegan or to you?
The Stanford girls have a three-eight cumulative GPA,
and completed a major beach clean-up.
Well, according to their Facebook photos,
the only trash they picked up were some local surfers.
- [all laughing] - Sisters, give it a rest. The votes are tallied.
And the finalists are...
ZBZ Boston University, Epsilon Rho chapter,
ZBZ San Diego State, Gamma chapter.
And the final chapter is...
Where the hell is Cyprus-Rhodes?
Send out the emails.
Drop what you're chewing and listen up!
I just got an email from Nationals.
We are... finalists for the Golden Lily!
[all cheering]
- This is awesome! - So deserved!
- What's a Golden Lily? - The Golden Lily is like Nationals'
Congressional Medal of Honor, given to the best ZBZ chapter in the nation.
- Including Puerto Rico and Guam. - [Casey] Wow, given our past,
I guess everyone loves a comeback story.
The Grand Council is visiting each finalist's house before voting,
and we're up this weekend, which means I'll need all hands on deck,
- including house mother hands. - Oh, absolutely.
We could host a nice tea, put out the china.
Tea's not going to win us the Golden Lily, Case.
As you said, we're the underdogs and I hate being the underdog.
We need something big to show the Grand Council what we can do
- with just a few days notice. - What are you thinking, Becks?
Laura, I want a bouquet of lilies waiting in the Council's hotel rooms
the minute they arrive. Borrow from the scholarship fund if you have to.
- Can I finish eating first? - No. Everyone else,
start brainstorming ideas for an event.
We'll have a strategy meeting tomorrow.
I don't care if we have to kidnap
Mary Beth Gentrie-Manning's granddaughters,
let's make this happen, girls.
Oh, um, you were joking about the kidnapping her granddaughters thing, right?
Duh! M.B.G.M. Only has grandsons.
- [laughs] - But I need to win this, Case.
This is my chance to prove to Tegan and all my doubters at Nationals
- that I am a good leader. - I get it.
Thanks. And you'll be at that strategy meeting.
- Well, I have class, but... - That wasn't a question.
Becks, how can the pledges help?
- Walk with me, poodle. - [Giggles]
"Poodle?"
[Cappie] That's it! Yeah! Keep going!
Please don't be her.
[Cappie] Higher! Higher!
- Whoo! Higher! - [Rock music plays]
Higher!
- What's going on? - We're seeing who can jump the longest!
- How long have you been going for? - Twenty-five...
- ...seconds. - [Laughing]
You wanna jump on? Show us what you got?
- Oh, I got a lot! - Yeah!
Whoa! Hey!
- [all shouting] - ♪ I am an aeroplane ♪
♪ Point me at the sky ♪
♪ I am gazelle sprint ♪
♪ Running away from the policeman ♪
- Ah! Synchronize jumps! - Copy that!
- Synchronizing! - And... go!
- [all laughing] - Whoa!
Sync by n17t01 www.addic7ed.com
Anthony Hopkins, they're all sitting up there.
- We were just jumping on the bed. - Yeah, like this.
- It was like... - Beav, maybe you shouldn't.
- ...synchronizing... - Holy crap, Beav!
- Whoa! - God!
Oh, no, no! It's holding my blood! Don't!
I can't watch.
- [gasping] - It's fine.
It just went through your pants, man.
Well, while you guys were playing True Blood,
I was on the phone with our national rep trying to get money for repairs.
- What'd he say? - After he reminded me that we're already on thin ice
for having one pledge and being on academic probation,
he said he was excited to see how we're gonna handle this on our own.
So we can thank our mysterious saboteur, Villain X.
Well, if Trip's telling the truth and it wasn't the Omega Chis,
then who the hell is messing with us?
Mr. Spitter, I got big news! Maybe it can wait.
- What's up? - I was in freshman physics and I overheard Professor Hastings
talking about how some company is interested in buying your self-healing wire patent.
Seriously? Did he say who?
Yeah, uh, Chambers lnternational? Ever heard of them?
Chambers lnternational creates evil things
like vertically integrated telecommunications monopolies,
- and jerks named Evan. - What would the Dark Lord's empire want with your wire?
It's not my wire anymore.
But I'd like to know what's happening with it. I deserve to know.
Ah, a boy and his wire.
The unconventional love story of the summer.
You know what? I think I know someone who can help us out with the house.
Well, I'm gonna go do something I really don't want to do:
Talk to a Chambers.
- Hey, Ash. - Hi.
- I have some big news. - Me, too!
Working for Clarissa's marketing company isn't lame.
I got her off that mobisode kick, she totally loves all my ideas
and I even brought in my first client today.
- Pouty Plump Lip Gloss. OK, so your turn. Go. - Yay!
OK. Did you hear about the Golden Lily?
Oh, are they delivering now? 'Cause I could really go for some moo shu.
No, ZBZ is nominated for the Golden Lily Award
- for the best chapter in the nation! - Oh, right. Yes.
- Including Puerto Rico and Guam. That's great. - Mm-hm.
- So great. It's just, um... - Guam has a kick-ass house?
No. It's Rebecca.
She's super determined to win.
She's dipping into the scholarship fund,
ordering around sisters like they're lackeys.
It kinda reminded me of...
- ...Frannie. - OK. I know it's your job to look out for the house,
but don't you think you're overreacting, like, a little?
It's a really big awar Of course she's gung ho on winning.
OK, maybe you're right, but it's weird.
Would you just come with me to the meeting?
If for nothing more then to lend the house your expertise.
Well, I am pretty expertise-y now that I'm dominating
the marketing world of the lower central Rust Belt, so...
- Exactly. - [Laughs]
OK, do you still want to order Chinese? 'Cause I could eat.
Trip, if I didn't know any better, I would say you've been avoiding me.
Yeah, because I don't need to hear your whole Team Dale rant.
You've made your feelings perfectly clear about the Pledge Talent Show.
Did you really think I was just gonna let you humiliate my friend
in front of the entire Greek system?
You don't let me do anything. I'm president now, not you.
Back off, Owens!
No. You started all this when you gave Dale a fake bid!
We only messed with him to get revenge for spring break, which you were a part of!
Are you saying this is all my fault?
I'm saying we're even with Rusty and the KTs, so let it go.
Look, Dale is gone, but you're not.
Yeah? Not yet.
[knocking]
- What do you want? - I came to talk.
It's not about my sister or the fraternities.
It's actually about your family.
Make it quick.
It's about my self-healing wire, which I'm sure you've heard of.
- It was a pretty big breakthrough. - I'll take your word for it.
Well, the university thought enough of it to take it from me and give it to a research team,
but now your dad's company is buying the patent.
- What do you want from me? - I just want you to find out what they plan to do with it.
I don't know, Rusty. I haven't spoken to my parents in almost a year,
and I'm not gonna start for you.
I'm not asking you to make up with them.
I was just hoping you could tell me what they're doing with it.
No. Now, get out.
I can't imagine why your parents wouldn't want to talk to a kind, selfless son like you.
Rusty, I'd go now, before paddles start coming off the wall.
OK, we need to show Nationals just what CRU ZBZ can accomplish.
So here's what I'm thinking: Charity fundraiser.
My father always used to say, what good is altruism
if you can't benefit from it?
Thoughts?
- Laura. - I was thinking...
Can you lean back so I can see Casey?
Oh, yeah, I think that sounds like a great idea.
Our chapter has had a history of successful philanthropy.
And there are so many great causes. Literacy,
- women's rights... - Tree frogs.
- Huh? - Mary Beth Gentrie-Manning's favorite charity
- is the Foundation for the Amazon Red-Eyed Tree Frog. - Pandering through charity.
I like it. Good job, Heather.
You pledges could learn from her.
But we can't just do our usual lame theme party, carnival, dance, whatever.
I think we should do a big benefit concert.
Anybody know if the stadium's available?
That's pretty ambitious.
- Don't you think, Ash? - That is a lot of people.
A lot of people who might want to try Pouty Plump,
the new up-and-coming lip gloss line I'm working with.
It makes your lips bigger, it only burns a little.
I'm sure once they hear "sorority," they'll totally want
to donate free product and sponsor us.
Totally. What?
I think realistically we're not going to get the stadium in a day's notice.
How about the backyard?
We can hardly fit a hundred people there.
But if we charge $500 a person...
We'll need a great performer.
[Laura] Well, this guy in my English class has a friend
who has a workout partner who is good friends with Drew Lachey.
Fortunately, I've contacted one of our alums who I'm hoping can help.
She lives in Los Angeles and works in the entertainment industry.
- [door opens] - Oh, here she is now!
Everyone, I'd like you to please welcome back...
Oh, my God.
- Frannie!? - Hi, girls. Miss me?
Oh, my God, look at this place.
[sighs] Look at you guys.
Laura! Hi.
Well, Frannie, I haven't seen you since...
you tried to have me expelled.
But it didn't work, 'cause I graduated, so... yay.
I'm sorry about that, Ash.
But congratulations, though!
So, yeah, it's been a while.
Yes, it has.
So, um, what exactly are you up to now?
Oh, I actually work at CAA.
Chi Alpha Alpha?
Creative Artists Agency.
One of the world's largest talent agencies.
You thought this organization had secrets?
Oh, wow. They rep all the big names.
And date them, too: Reese, Alyssa, Hillary.
- They're all over US Weekly. - Frannie came here to help out.
- It's what I do. I represent. - For which sorority?
We all know I wasn't a model ZBZ my last two years.
My leaving and starting the I-Kaps was bad, I know.
So when Rebecca called and said you guys were nominated for the Golden Lily,
- I pulled a weekend vacay. - We're throwing a benefit concert
- for the Amazon red-eyed tree frogs. - Oh, Mary Beth's fave.
Wow, I can't believe I actually still remember that.
Well, we're pretty much all set, except for booking a performer,
but Laura is close, personal friends with Drew Lachey...
Not gonna happen. He's doing a reality bass fishing show in Wyoming.
I helped package it. I don't want to step on any toes,
but I could get a guest performer.
- Maybe... Justin Bieber? - [Gasps]
- Seriously? - Seriously?! I love him!
The kid owes me for a booking I did. It's just a matter of making a call.
- Well, we might... - Bieber me.
Mm!
So you know that dream where you're naked and the whole school is laughing at you?
They're applauding, but go on.
Well, Trip and some of his crew, they made that come true for Dale.
- And then they kicked him out. - They dung him out?
Yeah. I'm so tired of their crap. I'm gonna quit, too.
Wait, so you're caving to those losers propping up Trip?
For a guy who talks about wanting to make a difference and change the world,
Cal, you're just not showing me that much.
It's not the world. It's a fraternity.
Of which you've been a member for over two years.
The purpose of the house is to build guys up, not tear them down.
Oh, not anymore. We've become that cliché, jerk fraternity that everybody hates.
Well, then do something about it. For the house and for Dale.
Tackle Trip and those guys head on and be a leader. Trust me, you're doing them a favor.
Like you helping Rusty?
Can't you just find out what your dad's company is gonna do with it?
It would mean talking to my parents.
You mean, "tackling the problem head on"?
As you can see, the Kappa Tau house truly is a historical landmark.
That's what I'm here to find out.
An historical grant would definitely help repair
and preserve this natural wonder.
Not that these gentlemen are desperate.
Thank God you're here. This is the Lasker Parkes,
world-renowned software mogul, and this is his birthplace.
Well, no, actually, that would be Punta Gorda, Florida.
But this room is where I got the idea for my first educational application, "Piece of Math."
You see, I was tutoring some sorority girls.
[laughs]
- You called my dad? - Yeah. And he came right away. Is he great or what?
[cell phone rings]
- "Let's talk. Evan." - Let's not talk Evan.
Have I showed you our historical asbestos?
- Come this way. - Right this way.
Rebecca! I can't believe you invited Frannie.
- You hated her! - A necessary evil. I want that Golden Lily.
You used Frannie's playbook with Tegan and it worked.
I skipped the playbook and called the coach. And she delivered.
What makes you think we can trust her? I mean, Justin Bieber?
A Bieber in the hand is worth two Lacheys in the bush.
- I don't know what that means. - Look, if she double-crosses us,
we blame her publicly and get Nationals' sympathy vote.
Oh! Sorry.
- Looks serious. - Actually, it is.
- Becks and I were just talking about... - Bieber, Bieber!
- [laughs] - Can't wait. Thank you, Frannie!
How crazy is this, huh?
You, me, Ash, all back here from the real world.
- So where are you living now? - Upstairs. I'm the house mom.
Oh. Great. Anyway, um,
Ashleigh and I are gonna hit up Dobler's, catch up.
- Why don't you come? - Ashleigh, really?
Yeah, I can't. There's still a lot of Golden Lily stuff to do.
We can do that, too. I need to get you up to speed on the rider in Justin's contract.
- A rider is... - I know what a rider is, I am in law school.
You're in law school? See, we have so much to catch up on. And it'll be on CAA.
I'll just say I'm doing research for a series about the Greek system or some crap like that.
Yeah. Look, Frannie, last week Rebecca won the Pledge Talent Show
by using the same slutty dance you made her do when she was a pledge.
And then I hear she threatened to burn down the Gamma Psi house again.
- What do you mean again? - The point is, Rebecca is going a little...
you, and it's starting to affect the pledges.
And I worry you being here, giving her tips from your playbook,
- it's just gonna make things worse. - That was the old me.
- I've changed. - We'll see about that.
- OK, who's ready for alumni lady drinks? - I could use a drink.
Whoa! This is where you grew up?
- You are Lex Luthor. - I heard that.
Just like I had to hear NPR's Science Friday the whole drive down.
All right, so here's the deal.
I'm letting my parents think I'm here to make amends.
So don't bring up the wire right away.
- So you're lying to them? - Rusty,
this is how you deal with them. You don't tip your hand too soon.
All right? Just let me handle it.
- Evan? - Mom.
- You look good. - Thanks.
- Your hair's shorter. - It's been a year.
- So who is this? - Oh, this is my buddy, Rusty Cartwright.
- Yeah, good buddies. - Cartwright? Um...
- Stacy's brother? - Casey.
- Right.
- Is Dad home? - Oh, he'll be around.
Come on in. We'll get reacquainted.
Thank you.
Rusty.
- So, Evan, how's law school? - It's good.
You still thinking about running for office one day?
I have a friend in our state senator's...
Actually, I think I'm gonna practice law instead.
Mm. That's good water, Mrs. Chambers.
It's the best I've ever had.
So, um, what are your favorite classes?
Uh, constitutional law's interesting.
Torts. Contract law.
You know, one of the contracts the company signed
was for a self-healing wire that Rusty here invented.
Yeah. He was wondering what you're gonna use it for.
So this isn't just a friendly visit?
All right. You're up.
Well, as the inventor, I was hoping that you could...
A year goes by, we don't see you,
and now you just show up to talk about electronics?
- It's not just electronics. - If I'd known this was a business meal,
- I would have come prepared. - Jonathan...
Excuse me.
- What are you doing? - I'm helping you with your stupid wire.
- What's it look like? - It looks like you're trying to piss off your parents.
Back off, Rusty. I'm doing this for you, OK?
So just shut up and let me handle it.
So, law school! That was always the original plan, right?
Are you back to the original plan with Evan Chambers?
Actually, I'm with Cappie.
Oh. Great.
[clears throat]
And you, you're already an agent.
- Didn't you just graduate last year? - I slept my way to the top.
- That was a joke. - [Laughs]
We need some drinks! What is up with the service today?
- It was never this bad when I worked here. - You worked here?
Yeah, for, like, a week or two. [Laughs]
Then I got fired for breaking in. But I think they're over it.
So I'm gonna go grab us some drinks. Maybe even on the house.
Ash, I can do it. I can really... I can... OK.
I guess even after a year, things are still awkward with us.
- I'm really trying. - Why?
Because you're the reason I'm here.
- Me? - Don't look so surprised. I sent you like a dozen emails
after I graduated, but you never responded.
Rebecca told me she called you, I didn't realize it was from downstairs.
I thought coming here would give us a chance to reconnect.
You and I were friends once, and so much has changed.
- I'm a different person. - Yeah, I'm different, too.
I mean, I'm still here. That's the same.
And I'm still living in the house. That's the same, too.
- But I'm different in so many other ways. - I'm sure you are.
I just wanted you to know that I've missed you.
OK, so the girl at the bar
still seemed really mad at me.
So I guess they're not over it.
Oh, God, you don't think they spit in it, do you?
[both] How about a beer in a bottle instead?
[all laugh]
There is only true messiah, and his name is Jesus.
There is only one.
Hey, Dale. What are you doing?
Reacquainting myself with the only institution that ever accepted me.
OK, look. Omega Chi did not reject you.
- A few bad apples did. - Trip's more of an orange.
Like a blood orange I'd like to squeeze dry.
OK. Well, yeah, let's not take this lying down.
The whole house humiliated me.
Trip and his friends are not the whole house.
They took everything that was good away from Omega Chi,
and I want it back, but I cannot do it alone.
Do whatever you want, but don't expect any help from me.
I've turned down my collars, I'm done.
- What about the future Mrs. Dale Kettlewell? - I've hung that up, too.
I'm don't think Laura's an option now that I'm not an Omega Chi.
Uh, well, I don't know about Laura, but what about
all the things that you learned at Omega Chi?
Brotherhood? Honor? All that?
Why should I believe it if they don't?
The only reason I rushed is 'cause Evan said loyalty and camaraderie
make fraternities more than just a place to drink beer and chase girls.
- I can't believe I ever bought any of that bunk. - It's not bunk to me.
At least it wasn't. I don't think it has to be.
...Jesus Christ!
[father] So your mother's very happy
that you agreed to spend the night.
Well, you know, she's hard to say no to.
Well, you came all this way to talk business, let's talk business.
Before you get too excited, we buy dozens of patents
for healing cable insulation, and the crap never pans out.
- So we scrap it. - My wire doesn't just heal its insulation, it keeps conducting.
We're not looking for creative control or net profit participation,
but by involving the original creator, you have access to the origins...
No offense, but why do I need access to the original origins?
The past is irrelevant. I own it.
Evan, you're appealing to me personally when...
Personal relationships always take a back seat to professional ones.
I forgot that one, Dad. That's the Chambers rule, isn't it?
You couldn't have called us once? In a year?
We're your parents.
Yeah, it's not exactly like my phone was ringing off the hook.
- No one's asked me how I've been doing on my own. - I know how you're doing.
You live in a five-by-nine dorm room, $304 in your checking account,
good grades, despite getting your butt trounced by your ex in mock trial last week.
- You've been spying on me? - Checking up on my son.
None of your sons are even speaking to you.
Do you think that's all on us?
Maybe you and Mom should take a look at yourselves for a change.
Maybe we should just talk about the wire.
I don't wanna talk about your damn wire! I wanna talk to my son!
Good night, Dad.
[indistinct chatter]
- Well? - I'm sorry, guys.
The inspector is determined that she's not gonna declare our house a historical landmark.
And that's not even the bad part.
She also said the house should be condemned.
Condemned?! Is this about the rat problem?
Tell her we just recently lost our pet snake.
No, the whole house is the problem.
It either has to be fixed up or it'll have to be torn down.
- Torn down?! - The city can't risk somebody getting hurt in there.
- What about in here? - Wait. Can we appeal?
- My girlfriend makes straight As in law school. - There is one solution.
If Nationals won't pay for repairs, suppose somebody just buys it from them,
- fixes it up? - Yeah, who'd give a bat's ass about KT?
- I meant me. - You'd do that?
Well, I don't throw my money around at just any cause,
but if my house is about to hit the wrecking ball, then yeah, I would do that.
- Lasker's buying the house. We're saved! - [Cheering]
Goodbye, Shanty Tau!
Oh, my God, I didn't want to say anything,
but I've been praying for it.
Well, your prayers have been answered.
The Amazing Spider-Man doesn't look too amazed.
- Papa Parkes just saved the house. - It's great.
I'm just used to it. My dad saving the day is kind of a recurring theme in my life.
Hm...
- You want to get out of here? - You don't want to stay and celebrate?
[laughs] You know how many times I've saved this dump?
Besides, I know a sorority where the food is hot
and the women are cold.
No. No, they're both hot. Come on. Let's go.
Adequate.
More flowers over here.
Who's on pillow poofing? Poofier! Poofier!
- Heather, I love that top. - Thanks, Rebecca.
It looks just like the one JWOWW wore when she was beating up that girl in that club.
Go change now. The Council will be here any minute.
You know, Becks, in managing people,
I've learned you get a lot more out of them if you at least pretend to respect them.
Oh, really? Is that why your IKI house turned into a bunch of slutty losers
and totally imploded? Was it your management skills?
Wow.
The old me never said anything that bitchy.
Yes, you did. To Laura. Sophomore year.
Why do you think she bites her nails?
Hey. So this is pretty exciting, isn't it?
Four ZBZ presidents coming together to make this the number one chapter in the nation.
- Yeah, you're goin' down, Guam. - OK, we have a small problem.
- Bieber canceled. - What?!
He's flying to New York to do The View.
- Oh, my God. - Well, how do you say no to Whoopi?
- I knew this was too good to be true. - OK, relax.
- It's not the Golden Globes. - No, it's just the Golden Lily.
- It's bigger for us. - That is so sad.
You know what's sad, is you coming here and messing with us all over again.
- Once a sociopath, always... - Rebecca...
OK, the only reason you're even president of this stupid house
- is because I courted you, poodle! - [Gasping]
Oh, my God, what's happening to me?
I don't know, I mean, you're just so totally different.
- I was trying to help! - [All arguing]
- Madame President! Welcome! - Hello!
Thank you. Oh, sisters, it is so wonderful to be here
at such an impressive chapter. And to think, Justin Bieber, too!
- I can't wait! [Laughs] - Oh, neither can we!
[laughing]
[Evan] Hey.
I should have known you weren't helping me out of the goodness of your heart.
And I shouldn't have let my feelings get in the way last night.
I should have just stuck to the facts like any good lawyer.
Instead of caring about my mom and dad.
And Rebecca. That's what you meant about putting
personal stuff second, right?
Whatever.
It's probably a good thing that you got that off your chest.
You obviously wanted to show them you don't need them.
I don't need them. But they already knew that.
They've been stalking me this whole time.
I don't think they're stalking you. It's more like checking up.
It's like me with my wire. I saw it through breakthroughs
and setbacks, and one time, it lanced my nipple.
But even when it ticked me off, I stuck with it.
I'm not trying to control it, I can't, it isn't mine anymore.
I just want to make sure that it'll be OK.
- Is there a point in there? - So you can either accept them for who they are
and know that they care about you, or you can keep them out of your life for good.
- So, what are gonna do about your wire? - My wire's gone.
But you can still get your parents back.
Just let me bring in someone else!
I think the guy from Castle is visiting his grandmother in Toledo.
- I can make a call. - In an hour? Just stop.
You're not going to do that, just like you were never going to get Bieber.
I had Justin Bieber.
Then how did you lose him? You said you were his agent!
OK, technically, I never said I was his agent. Or an agent at all.
I'm an assistant. And when he found out the call was coming from me
and not one of the agents, the little pipsqueak bailed for The View.
You let us think that you were his agent and that this could've really happen!
That is so typical you. You haven't changed at all.
So I embellished a little to impress you,
but you're so stuck seeing everything the way you always did.
Casey, you're the only person who hasn't changed!
Hey, everybody! Kappa Tau is saved.
Do you guys have any of that honey ham I like?
[screams]
Proving my point.
I can't believe you're still dating this guy.
And I can't believe I actually still care.
I so seriously need to get back to LA.
Oh, it's nice to see you, too, Frannie.
This is Pledge Spidey. Please don't turn him to stone.
We lost Bieber. If we ever had him.
No Bieber? Oh, that blows.
I mean, I have a friend
who wanted an autograph.
What?
Cap, can we borrow him?
That concludes old business.
Which brings us to Saturday's mixer.
I'm hearing the ladies of Tri-Pi are chomping at the bit to score with you gentlemen.
- What gentlemen? - Oh, are we getting another one
of those patented Owens diatribes?
If you don't like it here, you can leave.
- You know what? I think I will. - [Dale] Don't do that.
Speaking of people who can't take a hint...
Can it, Prince Harry.
You're gonna hear me out. I trusted you guys as my brothers.
And Trip, you were my big brother, the most sacred role of all.
And you lied to my face every day for months.
- You made me feel like an ass. - A big one. [Laughs]
- [all chuckle] - Seriously, guys?
Don't you see the guts that it took for him to come down here and face you?
That's courage!
That is the Omega Chi that I want to be a part of.
Without it, we're just a bunch of guys who drink beer and chase girls.
Sometimes guys. Don't you want to be more than that?
[boy] To be honest,
me and the rest of the pledges,
we really got close to Dale,
and we kinda miss him.
[clears throat] Did anyone ask the pledges to speak?
Hold up. The pledges are gonna be running this house in a few years.
We should at least hear them out.
I'm just saying Dale's a funny guy.
He's cool.
He didn't deserve to get the boot.
Especially the way we booted him.
Seriously? You guys...
That was a wonderful poached salmon, Mr. and Mrs. Chambers.
- And you have a beautiful home. - Well, thank you. You take care.
Good luck with all your future projects.
So, uh, we still have a little more negotiating to do.
- Evan, please just stop... - I'm not coming home for Thanksgiving.
I will consider every other Christmas,
and I don't want your money.
- What do you want? - I want to be able to call
and talk to you about my life,
about how I screwed up another relationship,
and the fact that I have been doing law school on my own,
and how hard that's been.
Deal.
I'm proud of you, son.
I love you guys.
Uh, there is one more thing.
[all chanting] Bieber! Bieber! Bieber!
- Do you think this will work? - I have no idea.
I'm gonna pretend you just said "hell, yes!"
- [music starts] - Y'all ready to save some frogs?!

- Hey. - It's going well, isn't it?
- [laughing] - Um, I think I just signed FART as a client...
whose name I'm going to change tomorrow.
- [laughs] - So it's all good, no thanks to Frannie.
Can you believe she had the nerve to say I'm the one who hasn't changed?
- Well, you know Frannie... - You definitely know her
and you don't even seem to care about all the horrible stuff she did to you.
Well, it was a year ago. I'm over it.
- Why am I not? - Because of ZBZ.
Because you still really care about this place.
And ZBZ means a lot to me, too.
It was a great chance to hang out with you and all our friends,
and being president was cool.
Cool? For me, it was... transformative.
Is it wrong to want to give back to the place that gave me so much of who I am today?
No, it's not wrong, but how much more are you planning to give?
♪ Is she out there? ♪
♪ I just need somebody to love ♪
How amazing is that! I even got us an autograph.
I think he spelled his name wrong, but hey, he's only 16.
- [all laughing] - Can't wait to hear your decision, Madame President.
Oh, we'll be in touch.
- Pretty awesome, big sis. - I know, right? [Screams]
So you pulled off another signature ZBZ caper.
Yeah, I guess you were right about me.
- Some things never change. - How could they?
I've been gone a year, I'm an assistant at CAA
and I'm back here for 24 hours and suddenly I'm calling people "poodle"
and worrying about who did what for some stupid Golden Lily.
- It's not stupid. - After a while, we have to let it go.
You know, here, all of that stuff, the mixers, the formals,
the fraternity sweethearts... it's life and death.
But once you leave, I mean really leave,
it all becomes nice memories.
For the most part. [Laughs]
I guess you can't be nostalgic for something you've never left.
So I have to leave early in the morning.
Get back to the office, cover my ass over the whole Bieber thing.
Frannie?
Email me when you get back to LA.
- [cell phone rings] - [Laughs]
This is Frannie.
Oh, I'm in Ohio. But tomorrow, I'll be gone like LeBron.
[laughs] I know, right?
What, you need help with a satellite now?
Apparently my advisor, Professor Hastings, got a call from your dad.
He said Chambers lnternational is pouring a ton of money into my wire.
- [laughs] - They really believe in it.
That's great news.
Look, man, I really gotta study. I'm kind of...
He said I could be a part of the project when I graduate.
Wow.
- Just like that? - Yeah.
Did you talk to them? Well, apparently,
your dad referred to me as "Evan's friend."
- Friend? - Yeah, it creeped me out, too.
Told you I could negotiate.
Well, anyways, thanks.
You, too.
[Trip] I'm gonna step down.
They want Dale, so clearly I don't have the support of the brothers.
But you do.
So you can be president again.
Happy?
No.
You see, we're pledge brothers.
And I remember when you weren't out to get people, you actually had their backs.
- Like who? - Me.
Like the time when I got flowers in front of the entire house,
and I was horrified, and you said, "Flowers from a guy?
That's cool."
That set the tone for the rest of the house.
Everyone was cool, thanks to you. I never forgot that.
So all of my "patented diatribes?"
I just want what's best for the house.
For it to be a real brotherhood.
Like you used to.
And I don't need to be president to do that.
So keep your job.
Just try and remember what it's for.
And that's my last diatribe.
Hey, house mom. The whole house is going to Dobler's Friday night
to wait for the Golden Lily vote. You're coming, right?
I think I'm gonna pass.
I thought you'd be excited. You were such a huge help.
Oh, really? Even though you went with another coach's playbook?
Right, well, you don't have to hire an exorcist.
- I'm not turning into Frannie, OK? - Really? I hadn't noticed.
I might have used some of her tactics.
The difference is she never cared about this house the way I do now.
Now that what, you don't have Evan to care about?
That's not it at all.
I'm just saying, there are better ways to show you care.
You wanted to show that you were a good leader.
I think maybe part of that is leading by example.
- I think I'm a great example. - Mm-hm...
Maybe I could tone it down a little.
But I can't promise it won't happen again.
I've had my share of psycho sorority sister moments in my day, [laughs]
putting you through hell most of your pledging.
So enjoy this place while you're here,
because one day you're gonna go off into the big bad world,
and there won't be little sisters to ream or Golden Lilies to get crazy over.
Guess I'll do a shot for you if we win the Lily.
I know we'll...
- [laughs] I know you'll win it. - Oh, we totally will.
That is, if little Tyler Gentrie-Manning ever wants to see his nana again.
- Um... - Kidding.
[laughs]
Well, I'm off to meet Ash for coffee.
See you later, Becks.
So I take it the evil empire isn't using your wire
to create nuclear warheads or cause oil spills?
Actually, they're gonna let me work on it when I graduate.
- That's great! - In exchange for what?
Your kidney? Your first born?
No, Evan totally helped me out.
From one nerd to another, I'm glad you got your wire back.
I'm happy we got our house back. Thank your dad for me when you talk to him.
Yeah. My dad's the hero once again.
Hey, Cap, I got this letter for you from the university.
It goes in the extra TP stack, right?
No, I'll take it.
[Rusty] What's up with him?
- Daddy issues. - I get it.
It's like Evan. Sometimes guys do stuff to piss off their dads.
You know, the attacks on KT, it all started rush night, right?
- Yep. - And we were looking for someone who had the know-how
- to mess with Joshua Whopper. Ã- And you thought it was Dale?
Because he's a big nerd, right.
Well, maybe we were looking at the wrong nerd.
Maybe young Mr. Parkes...
is our Villain X.
Spidey? We can totally trust him. He loves this house.
Hey, don't you think?
Cap?
What's that?
It's nothing.
