Ep 8. The Popular Vote

The Popular Vote is the 8th episode of Greek's second season, and it takes place during the run-up to the school's annual Greek Week. As the title suggests, the episode is all about popularity and the lengths to which people will go to achieve it.

At the start of the episode, we see our protagonist, Rusty, struggling to keep up with the demands of being a pledge for the Omega Chi fraternity. His grades are slipping, and he's starting to feel isolated from his non-fraternity friends. Determined to prove his worth to the OX brothers, Rusty decides to run for Greek Week King—a prestigious title that carries a lot of clout on campus.

Meanwhile, Casey, Rusty's older sister and a member of the Zeta Beta Zeta sorority, is also vying for a leadership position in Greek Week. She's running for the position of Vice President, but she faces tough competition from her frenemy Rebecca, who is running for the same role.

As the campaign heats up, Rusty and Casey find themselves in competition with each other, as well as with their rivals. They both engage in some underhanded tactics to secure their votes, leading to tension and drama within their respective houses. Along the way, we also see Casey grappling with her feelings for her ex-boyfriend Cappie, who is now dating someone else. And we get a glimpse into the past of Calvin, one of Rusty's fraternity brothers, as he opens up about his childhood and his struggles with coming out to his family.

As the episode builds to its climax, the tension between Rusty and Casey reaches a fever pitch. In a dramatic twist, they end up pitted against each other in a brutal physical challenge during Greek Week. The winner will be crowned King or Queen, with bragging rights and social status on the line. But as the siblings face off, they realize that their rivalry has gone too far, and they must find a way to reconcile before their relationship is irreparably damaged.

The Popular Vote is a classic episode of Greek, full of the kind of high-stakes drama and emotional turmoil that fans of the show have come to expect. It's a great showcase for the talents of the cast, particularly Spencer Grammer (Casey) and Jacob Zachar (Rusty), who both deliver unforgettable performances. At its heart, the episode is about the ways in which our ambitions and desires can blind us to the things that truly matter: our friendships, our family, and our own sense of integrity. By the end of the episode, Rusty and Casey both learn this lesson the hard way, but they come out stronger for it. The Popular Vote is a must-see for anyone who loves Greek, and it's sure to leave viewers on the edge of their seats.
