12x19/20 Scream-- RECAP

So this is the finale of the third and final novella the series did as they decided to drop the format in favor of doing a summer set arch in season 13 which in my opinion I think was a rather poor choice.  Anyway there was tons of hype leading up to this episode as well as lots of media which made it out to think that someone would die…..spoilers no one did at least not in this episode however there was much drama none the less.

Eli’s setting up for another tech rehearsal and everything that could go wrong is. Costumes are mixed up, props are falling and he hopes they can open smoothly and on time. Clare shows up asking if Eli has thought of a way to get Asher back yet she knows he’s busy with the play but she wants to give the bastard what for and the sooner the better.

12x17/18 Sabotage…..RECAP

Clare is giving her report about her mentorship despite being let go. Miss Oh is asking about it and she starts having flashbacks of when he was harassing her. She asks what was the biggest lesson and Clare says to never tell a story unless you have the facts to back it up however as was seen in 13x 11 she’s clearly forgotten that lesson (among other things). Alli’s impressed at how Clare faked it and she admits she doesn’t want to say that she’s been fired until she gets facts to back her up and defend her on the harassment and so she’s been sneaking off and hiding out when she’s supposed to be at the paper making everyone none the wiser.

12x15/16 Never Ever RECAP

Like I said before this follows up the Fiona/Imogen plot from Imogen’s POV in a massive and somewhat heartbreaking way as the episode opens with her showing her dad her armature for the sets. Mr. Moreno comments about how small it is and asks if Eli is directing a play for ants…. Kidding. He complements about her eye for detail and she comments how he stored his car keys in the crisper before giving a piece of her apple to Volta. Her dad comments about her feeding people food to the dog and Imogen comments how he likes it before coming to present it to Eli. Eli is blown away by her design but worries that it’s too much to do on such a short timetable. Imogen is insanely dedicated and vows to get it done with time to spare. He asks how much it’ll cost and she tells him $500. He tells her she’ll either have to scale back unless she can find someone with money to sponsor and Imogen smiles knowing just the someone in mind.

12x03/04 Walking On Broken Glass

AKA Gives You Hell….I don’t know if it was a working title or if it went by this name in Canada….anyway in fitting with the Novella format this episodes plots flow right from the last and it’s rather interesting cause the continuation of the Katie/Drew plot is mostly from Katie’s POV in part one and Drew’s in part two which is interesting in its own right.

Council is getting ready to plan the ice hound pep rally as Katie comes to the meeting late. Marisol asks if she’s up for it and she says yes she’s president and she’s ready to take the job back from Marisol and asks for the team to catch her up. She says they should get a sizzle real and show footage of the team. Mo comments how it should be easy since Dallas is with Drew. Marisol reminds him of the break up and he apologizes but it’s too late as Katie starts to ugly cry because it just hurts so much.

10x33/34 When Love Takes Over—RECAP

In a pretty similar tone as the last episode with the ‘wishing stars’ this time it’s most likely February in Degrassi cannon as love is in the air and Sav dressed up adorably as cupid is encouraging students to send their loved ones roses. Anya asks Holly J for a dozen yellow ones….not for a guy but cause her mom is hearing her results back today. Holly J says she can have the BFF discount and that she’s there no matter what to talk about it.

Adam and Eli are talking about who to cast for the lead in a play…Anya is too cheerful. Adam says they’ve auditioned ten girls and so far the best they’ve got is Marisol and hopefully they’ll find a leading lady worthy of Adam. Speaking of leading ladies Fiona calls to him asking why he’s been avoiding her….um could it be that she stood him up at her own party….yea it could be. She really wanted to come but her great aunt died and there is no way she could let Adam know. Adam says she can make it up by being his co star.

9x11/12 Heart Like Mine--Recap

Remember how I commented that after the movie we wouldn’t see the trio of Ellie, Paige, and Marco again sans a season 11 webisode with Paige and a season 9 episode with Marco…. Well we’re at the latter.

The basketball team is playing and KC makes a game winning shot leading them to make finals. Cheerleader Jenna jumps into KC’s arms and he twirls her around in a hug. His GIRLFRIEND Clare says she wants a hug and twirl too or at least a kiss and KC just realizes he has two girls wanting him.

5x09 Tell It To My Heart--recap

Marco is at work rehearsing for the school drama festival as his dad looks on. His dad doesn’t want Marco to seriously take up acting as he wants him to go into the printing business with him. Marco tells his dad he wants to go into social work (though later we do find out that social work has morphed into teaching but that’s neither here nor there at present). His dad brings up that his cousin is a social worker and his cousin is gay and says that when a parent has a gay kid it makes them feel like failures.

4x14/15 Secret--recap

This episode is another one that is on my favorites list. Just letting you guys know that.

The episode opens with it being rehearsals for Dracula. Jay is working on sets and comments that Emma is a bit tense and will snap in half if she doesn’t relax. There is a cue and she misses it.

4x11/12 Voices Cary--recap

Craig and Ashley are kissing after school and Craig asks if he’s going to see her tomorrow. Ashley comments about how her dad’s wedding seems to be taking over her life. Now before I go on I once again need to just point out that this episode originally aired in Canada in Late 2004 and in the US in Early 2005. I do this because marriage equality is a major hot topic at least stateside at present and to have two gay males having a wedding (or rather a commitment ceremony but still) almost ten years ago on a show geared towards kids and teens is utterly progressive so snaps for Canada. Anyway Ashley is listing off her duties which include going to the airport….Craig comments he likes airports….people saying hellos goodbyes I love yous. Ashley smiles asking if he was saying it to her and he teases he only says it at airports. Their moment however is cut short as Kate arrives to pick Ashley up.
