7x20 Ladies Night recap

Degrassi is hosting some kind of fast/lock in for Free The Children and if you listen closely you can hear the same African/Lion King-esque stalk music from season three. Anyway Anya is the one who has organized the event. She welcomes everyone to the event and tells them that Studz will be playing. The event coordinator tells them to finish with their pancakes because there are only seconds left before the twenty four hour fast begins. Now before you say that’s irrational and unhealthy just know that in many customs people fast for that long (sometimes even longer) for various religious celebrations. Anyway Anya is nervous about the event and wants it to go smoothly. Holly J comments that she isn’t going to boil everyone’s water because it’s already clean cause they aren’t actually in a third world country and she calls Anya a Diva and Attention Whore…..um Holly J….Anya is TRYING to do a good thing here. She tells Holly J how Sav rand this fast last year and she knows what she’s doing. Anya then suggests Sav help Holly J with the water to get to know her better

7x15 Got My Mind Set on You--recap

This episode was all but grating to watch and once you hear the subplots you’ll understand why.

The episode opens as Mr. P is taking over teaching MI at least for the period since Simpson is still out and it was his free period. He looks at Simpson’s lesson plans and assigns a four person how to assignment. Peter asks Danny and Derek to work with them since Darcy is away for the week. I’m going to assume due to the timing she was out in Cali auditioning for the CW lets just be real here. They propose doing their how to about picking up chicks and Peter laughs. He bets that the boys can’t get past Hello with Rachel a Lakehurst transfer girl with no significance past this episode. They end up coaxing Rachel to be the fourth of her group.

7x09 Hungry Eyes-recap

First off I love this episode because it’s another bottle episode where the majority of the plot takes place at Degrassi and how the A and B plot both revolve around the same event (the intermural tournament)

 Emma and Manny are heading toward the school and Emma is commenting how she hasn’t heard from Sean in a while and that she’s been stuck on her admissions essays…..um I know I’ll comment about this when I get to season twelve too but timeline wise it’s most likely February or March not that you can tell from the weather outside or the wardrobe and by now letters would start coming out cause application deadlines were like December or January…..anyway rant aside the school is being taken over by Purple Dragons and not of the friendly little Figment variety no…. it’s a corporate sponsor for the school badminton tournament….. Seriously maybe it’s just a Canadian thing but I’ve never heard of people playing it intramural in school before. Liberty is set against this but Damian thinks it’s great and rally hopes Emma auditions to be one of the sample girls. Manny agrees and tells Emma she needs to spice up her boring life.

7x3 Love Is A Battlefield--recap

Paige is bloodying her hair. She’s got a busy day. Dropping Jimmy’s keys off, doing errands and having a job interview. She tells Alex she deserves a rest after landing a perfect GPA in her victory semester at Degrassi though a 4.0 wasn’t enough to sway her mom from dumping Chad and so long as he’s in the picture Alex isn’t.

Marco asks Paige how long is Alex going to freeload and Paige tells him they are lucky to have supporting parentals.

6x11 Rock This Town

This episode I’ve been dreading getting to since I started this season. I knew it was coming and still it hit me with all the emotions it had when I first watched.  I just want to note that this episode has a MAJOR character death and if you are going into my recaps blindly I won’t spoil it.

Manny is aggressively ripping up photos of Craig from her locker. She dumped him and is happy though she doesn’t look happy and admits she’s going crazy. Emma tells her the house is going to be empty all weekend and Manny suggests they have a party…..Why? What’s there to celebrate Emma asks and JT soon informs the girls it’s Liberty’s Birthday…..BINGO!!
