Emma’s mom is away at a conference leaving Simpson
alone as the sole parent. Emma is going over the proposal to ban GMO Foods from
the café which hey wasn’t there a petition on that earlier?
WHATEVER IT TAKES
Emma meets up with Manny, JT and Toby before school
and they are talking about her crusade and they compare her to Joan of Arc….well
minus the schizophrenia and being burnt at the stake that is.
There is a sign in the hallway advertising the café is
looking for students to work there on work study and brings up to Marco how he
served there last year for a punishment. Jimmy arrives in a new and expensive
sweatshirt that Marco and Spinner soon flail over.
Ashley, Emma, and Nadia whom I mentioned in the
character sheet and has popped up a handful of times before as the sole other
major grade seven aside from Kendra are giving their proposal to Raditch to get
rid of GMO’s. There is a slight parallel here to the one seasons later with Jake and Katie talking to Simpson
in ‘Say It Isn’t So’ however un like Jake and Katie the girls proposal is
rejected.
Besides a new sweatshirt Jimmy also has a new MP3
Player….top of the line and Spinner is envious as since Kwan broke his disk man
last year (Friday Night) he’s been in the stone age with listening to cassettes.
Sean asks Emma why if she wants to eat more
organically why not brown bag it instead of petition for change. Emma says it’s
the principle and talks about how bad pesticides are for you to which Sean
tells her that if it means that much she shouldn’t back down.
Jimmy also has new shoes and apparently it’s because
it was his birthday meaning he’s now fifteen or about to be shortly and a year
has passed since 1x09 (Coming of Age) took place. Jimmy and Marco make a
comment about Spinner’s old things and how he’s been wearing the same hoodie
since grade seven. Jimmy leaves his MP3 player on the bench outside and Spinner
steals it.
Emma passes out fliers about banning GMO’s and Ellie
makes a passing comment that it’s better to have processed food then to go
hungry. Raditch takes the fliers and reprimands Emma for spreading propaganda
however the following day there is a SPECIAL news report that is all but a
glorified ad to eat in the café…talk about your propaganda right….whaaaaaaaaaaaat
(and yes I typed that with the voice of Lydia Bennett from Lizzie Bennett
Diaries in my head on an unrelated note). Emma confronts JT about the ad which
he stared in and unintentionally a food fight breaks out. I don’t know why I
was amused but for a show that is known in its later years for using pop and
indie music as stock the same tune was backtracking the food fight that
backtracked both the party Dean raped Paige at and Manny preparing for the date
with Craig earlier this season and I think the track may even be used later in
the series too. Emma ends up suspended by the way.
Jimmy can’t find his MP3 player and accuses Spinner of
stealing it. Spinner asks why he needs to steal it and he has money in fact he’s
getting a hoodie later on and an expensive one at that.
Emma shows up in Simpson’s class despite being
suspended and Simpson tells her she has to go home.
Spinner is in the boys room talking to Sully (a minor
character who recurs a bit next season) about selling him the MP3 player.
Emma protests outside just outside the school property
while Ellie interviews her. Raditch doesn’t care that she’s not on grounds and
says she either needs to apologize or will be suspended for a week.
Jimmy apologizes for making fun of Spinner’s being
poor however Sully soon arrives for the player. Jimmy frowns and says it ‘Sounds
Like A Steal’ before slumping off.
Emma tells Simpson she’d rather be suspended then then
apologizes for what she believes in. As a dad Simpson supports her in wanting
to stand up but as a teacher at the school he’s torn.
Spinner goes to work in the café again however this
time it’s for work study and it’s interesting to think of him doing this
considering the fact that once we are introduced to the Dot next season he gets
employed there. He gives Jimmy the phone and says he’s sorry but Jimmy says
they are not friends anymore.
