Jesse hangs up the phone at the Core
office and wants the presses to be stopped and Ellie’s story to be dropped from
the cover. He just got Bill Nye to be a guest speaker at the school for some
big Q and A interview. Ellie’s pissed because he’s been promising her a cover
spot and she worked her ass off. He tells her it’s just business and to take it
for the team.
WHATEVER IT TAKES
Jesse is talking to a woman who has
just bought ad space…or rather flirting. Ellie’s pissed some more at Jesse
(seriously it’s getting to a point where she’s pissed at him more then not) and
comments about how she thinks he has a thing for cougars (okay so they don’t
say cougars but I don’t think that was a term yet when this episode aired
initially so….) Jesse says he loves red heads with blue eyes….Ellie informs him
she has green eyes and kisses him before telling him she wants to be taken
seriously as an employee and not just as his girlfriend. Eric tells them that
Bill Nye is out and Jesse is in panic mode. Well Ellie’s piece can take the
cover slot but what about the speaker….Ellie says she can help with that
Anya asks Mia if she knows where her
locker buddy Holly J is. Mia doesn’t know and soon Anya complements Mia’s
outfit. Holly J shows up and hopes Anya wasn’t giving Mia any trouble. She also
complements Mia’s outfit but then turns it into a snarky mean girl remark instead.
Anya agrees and makes said mean remark back parroting Holly J before heading
off.
Ellie got Caitlin to be the speaker
and Jesse is fanboying over her. The Caitlin Ryan….here in his office….why didn’t
he know that she was Ellie’s mentor. Ellie then tells Jesse that she’s going to
moderate the Q & A cause it was Caitlin’s idea.
In science which must be a
multi-grade class since it has grade ten and eleven students in it, Holly J
tells Derek he has something on his face….UGLY. Anya laughs at the joke and
after the disruption the teacher calls on Anya to read. She’s stumbling on her
words and Holly J publically calls her friend out on being dyslexic. Mia asks if
Anya wants to be her partner for an assignment but Holly J tells her Anya is
always with her.
Jesse is all upset that Ellie gets
to run the show. Ellie says that he may not be doing that but he should go to
some reception being held and get to know Caitlin. She can’t go because she
needs to work on her questions. At the University House however as Ellie tries
to work later on in the day, it’s chaos as Griffin and the engineering students
are having. Deciding to go to the Core for some quiet she’s shocked to find a
drunk Jesse hooking up with Caitlin. Jesse apologizes saying they were drunk
and flirting and he wants to talk about them. Ellie tells him they are no
longer an US and quits the paper.
Holly J asks Anya if she plans on
hanging out with Sav and the guys after school. Anya can’t cause she needs to
work on the essay….Holly J said she wanted an A. Holly J tells him the teacher
is stupid and gives the assignment every year and that Anya should take the
paper and just retype it……. And this plot hole is just bugging the crap out of
me because Holly J went to Lakehurst and was a student there since back before
Mia transferred to Degrassi in season six yet Heather was a student at Degrassi
cause Paige and others mentioned her. My theory on how this hole (and the fact
that the transfers never went back to Lakehurst) is that Degrassi is or at
least at one point was a Magnet school (though who would willingly want their
kids to go there with all the drama is anyone’s guess) while Lakehurst was a
public school which is why the sisters initially went to different schools at
the same time frame (I like to assume Holly J was a Lakehurst Freshman while
Heather was a Degrassi Senior) then WHEN Lakehurst was re-built the Bhandari’s
kept Sav at Degrassi and enrolled Alli there too, Holly J, Anya, Johnny, Bruce,
and Jane also stayed while all the other underclassman transfers ended up going
back to the other school) Like I said just a theory now back to the episode.
Anya is wary about cheating and tells Holly J she doesn’t like her talking
about the dyslexia and mentions how she never talks to anyone about how Holly J
has a private tutor. Holly J soon starts to ask another girl to eat lunch with
her and Anya tells her that she is okay with cheating and will do it.
Paige is looking at her closet for
an outfit for Ellie to wear to the interview. Ellie tells her that she saw
Caitlin kissing Jesse and Paige can’t believe they went out with that pig.
Ellie tells Paige she’s still seeing him (what about her being done with ‘Us’) she
tells her that Caitlin was one of Jesse’s free five and its okay. She then says
she should back out of the interview because she thinks maybe the kiss is Karma
for her taking it from Jesse in the first place. Paige tells her the Q & A
is a once in a lifetime deal and shouldn’t back out.
In class the next day Holly J tells
the teacher the essay Anya turned in is plagiarized and that despite being
partners she took the liberty of doing the paper on her own.
Ellie is drinking pre-interview.
Caitlin approaches and tells her she’s sorry about the other night but that
Jesse has nothing but nice things to say about Ellie’s work. Caitlin has to
leave for a mic check leading Ellie to drink some more. By the time the Q &
A happens Ellie ends up publically breaking down asking Jesse if it was worth
it and asking Caitlin WHY and calling her a slut. The next day, hung over,
Ellie gets a visit from Caitlin. Caitlin asks why Ellie did what she did and
Ellie tells her that Jesse is her boyfriend but didn’t want to tell her cause
she knows dating her boss is unprofessional.
Mia sees Anya and tells her that at
least she’s free from Holly J who seconds later asks if Anya wants to join her
at a party which Anya says yes. Mia asks why she puts up with Holly J’s abuse
and Anya point blank says it beats spending her Friday Nights alone.
Ellie is back at the Core and tells
Jesse she’s back at the paper but over him for good and that they need to just
keep it professional.
