Burbank, CA (February 24, 2010) - Everyone at Cyprus Rhodes is preparing for Mardi Gras festivities, except for Casey, who must prepare for the biggest test of her life - the LSAT. While Casey continues to push Cappie to declare a major and make plans to focus on the future, he is too busy announcing the next parade at the Kappa Tau Mardi Gras party. Meanwhile, Joel (Sam Page) offers Casey some solid guidance and support for the LSAT. Find out how Casey handles two big tests, the LSAT and her attraction to Joel, in an all-new episode of the ABC Family hit series "Greek," premiering Monday, March 8, 2010 (10:00 - 11:00 PM ET/PT). The episode, entitled "The Big Easy Does It," was directed by Fred Savage and written by Casey Johnson and David Windsor.

Katherine informs Rusty that she is ready to take their relationship to the next level, while Dana (Martha MacIsaac), who accompanies Dale to the party, makes a confession to Rusty that makes him re-think his plans for the evening.

And Evan lies to Rebecca about canceling on their date by saying he needs to attend a conference, when he's really taking a job as a bartender at a gay nightclub for Mardi Gras to make some extra cash. While Grant and Calvin enjoy the festivities, Ashleigh and Rebecca arrive to have some fun with their friends. Evan, however, is not the only one to get caught in the act of deception.

Created by Patrick Sean Smith, "Greek" is executive-produced by Piller/Segan in association with ABC Family. The cast includes Jacob Zachar as Rusty, Spencer Grammer as Casey, Scott Michael Foster as Cappie, Jake McDorman as Evan, Clark Duke as Dale, Dilshad Vadsaria as Rebecca, Paul James as Calvin, and Amber Stevens as Ashleigh.
