Darcy apologizes to Spinner for the breakup it was the right
thing to do and she hopes they can still be friends. Spinner seems sad that she’s saying this when
didn’t HE break up with HER cause of the pictures….I mean I know it was just
last episode and it’s been maybe a day, day in a half for me between viewing
Eyes Without a Face and this but….yea.
So Spinner goes into Simpson’s class just squeaking by and
there is a special guest. The guidance counselor is letting them know the
results of their career aptitude tests are in. Jimmy got Criminal Lawyer while
Ashley got Criminal Law. They talk about going to NYU for Law school and maybe
opening up a practice together one day. Spinner’s isn’t as ambitions….his first
choice career is Clown though for foreshadowing purpose it’s important to note
his second choice is Police Officer and later on he does try to get into the
academy.
WHATEVER IT TAKES…..
Jimmy comments about not wanting a sad sack in his designs.
Spinner reads him a rather depressing poem he wrote about the break up then
asks Jimmy what about the artist dream. He says he woke up and that being a
Lawyer is more practical a career. Ashley comments that Paige is in town and
that they all planned to hang out at Marcos and how Spinner should come and
move on.
Alex is back at Degrassi despite graduating last season
taking a victory lap to get her GPA up to get into post-secondary. Some of the
girls are teasing her for being at the school. Honestly I thought they were
going to just go and re-hash this plot with Dallas and have him walk with the
graduates but then come back and not have him bee a true blue second year
senior.
The graduates and second year seniors are hanging out at
Marco and Ellie’s Paige comments on the shirts and Jimmy’s design. Marco
comments about how he’s been trying to coax Jimmy to sell them however it’s not
practical.
The next day Spinner is all too enthusiastic to start a
business. He’s got some money saved from his job at the Dot and he’s sure Marco’s
dad can get them a deal on the printing. His thought is that the money from the
shirts would help pay for Law school for Jimmy however Jimmy informs Spinner he
has an academic fund already saved up and let’s face it….even with the costs of
all his PT the Brooks family is pretty well off. Ashley gives Jimmy a pouty
look and he cracks like thin ice telling Spinner fine he’s in.
Miss H comments about how good Alex is doing and Alex
comments that if she wants to get into a school to study physical therapy she
needs to up her marks. Miss H tells her that extra circulars would look good on
her university applications and suggests she try out for lacrosse.
Montage of the boys making/selling their shirts on the
university campus and around time. They start to talk about expanding their
business….mail order, setting up stands at concerts……Spinner then sees a store
front and thinks that’s the ticket to the big leagues. He has his Dot money and
knows he won’t be using it for Clown College and says Jimmy can surely skim
some of his school money too.
Alex and Paige are talking. Paige asks Alex how things are
back at Degrassi and if the students are shaking in their boots. She tells them
no they are jealous of her academics and comments about joining a team. Paige
is impressed that big bad Alex would join a team and she tells Paige she’s
trying to be sweeter these days.
Ellie and Marco are trying to study however Spinner turns on
the radio to do work. Marco asks why they can’t work someplace else and he says
he’s working on it. Jimmy’s dad comes to pick him up and he pitches the idea of
a shop to him asking to dip into his fund. His dad says the shirts are good but
he can’t afford to waste his money on a pipe dream. He goes to wait in the car
and Jimmy tells Spinner screw it he’s eighteen and doesn’t need his father to
sign off and so they end up investing into the shop. At the grand opening Jimmy
comments about being able to fund art school and Ashley is all WHAT however she’s
not pissed she’s happy for him so long as they are together.
Alex joins the team and the mean girls who were laughing at
her are on it.
After the first day the group closes up the shop and is
impressed at how much they made until Dylan gives them the reality check that
they have fees to pay and haven’t made quite so much.
The lacrosse team is playing.
Spinner and Jimmy are at the store and Jimmy comments about
how Spinner has marked up the shirts in an effort to make more. Jimmy wonders
if this pipe dream wasn’t a good idea after all.
Alex tells Serena the mean girl that Miss H said they need
to get along for the team. Alex is trying to be nice and Serena tells her no
she’s a hateful bitch and will never change. They start to scuffle but Alex
gets called into the office.
Jimmy is in the shop changing tags when a couple of guys
come in to rob them. Spinner who walked out to get coffee comes in to see what’s
going on and goes into crime fighter mode apprehending the guys and getting the
cash box.
Alex tells Serena that she got a weeks’ worth detention. Serena kindly reminds Alex about how two years
ago Alex almost blinded her with a laser pointer and tripped her so bad that
she broke her leg. She tells her that she made her life hell and the worst part
is she doesn’t even remember the pain she’s inflected.
The cops are writing a report on the robbery telling the
boys they need to get a venders license before they re-open. Jimmy tells them
thanks but they are going to stay closed. Spinner tells Jimmy he’d kill to have
talent and Jimmy points out that Spinner has talent of his own. Jimmy’s dad
shows up at the scene and looks pissed. Jimmy’s worried about his reaction when
he hears how they got the money for rent.
