14x13 Watch Out Now


So now we’re at the opener of the final televised arch of the series  meaning there are 12 more episodes + the ‘don’t look back’ TV movie that sets the stage for the Netflix next class continuation

Jack and Imogen are making out in front of the school and Becky comments about how it’s too early for PDA however it’s only a few weeks till graduation and Imogen wants to make it count…plus the fact that Jack has detention afterschool till the end of the year which Becky points out she deserved due to the Degrassi nudes issue. They comment how they hadn’t seen Becky all during the extra break they got while the fire damage was repaired and she says that she was with Jonah they were just writing songs…okay sure, she has a crush but she just broke up with Drew and it’s complicated. Jonah appears and Imogen and Jack make goo goo eyes at him. The quad go into the school as Drew and Clare collect cellphones which are no longer allowed on school property . Clare and Drew inform the group that security cameras are also being installed as part of the new principal’s crackdown…hey at least no uniforms this time right….Simpson has been put on leave and we meet Miss Pill who wants to make the school a safe space and says she is banning any and all PDA.  Jack says this is all 1984 ‘Big Brother’ crazy while I’m getting total Umbrage vibes. Pill says all extra-curricular must be approved by her and council and Imogen is upset her final days at Degrassi are under a factious regime. Becky says rules are important and walks off while Jack and Imogen candidly call out Becky’s feelings for Drew and Jonah between themselves.

14 x 11/12 FIRESTARTER


The episode opens as Frankie is reading over the draft of her father’s speech for a young voter’s conference. The siblings are chuckling at all the teen lingo peppered in and if you didn’t see any prior episodes you’d think they were a pretty normal family in the moment. Miles Sr comments that he should fire his assistant and hire Frankie. Said assistant shows up and in talking about current events the degrassi nude scandal comes up…daddy Hollingsworth is shocked and appalled. Miles tells Frankie she may have their father fooled but not him…he knows that she was a part of Degrassi nudes and she needs to find a scapegoat before it ruins their dad’s campaign.

14x09 Somethings Got To Give


So for some reason as I was posting episodes 11-13 I noticed I skipped this one so time to jump back.

Imogen is looking at track uniforms saying to Jack and Winston how fashion is her fallback when she has nothing to say on DTV. She hears Hunter snickering and asks what is up. Hunter wants her to settle a bet and asks if the boobs he got sent were hers. Imogen is SHOCKED and Jack says they aren’t hers. Imogen finds out about Degrassi Nudes and is disgusted. Imogen plans to get to the bottom of it and Jack and Winston try to stop…Jack because she’s doing it and Winston because he knows the girls are doing it.

14x08: Hush

Once again for the third episode in a row the sub plot is about how depressed Miles has become...and the character arch keeps dragging and dragging. The opening scene is Frankie and Hunter waking a sleeping and presumably stoned or hung over Miles saying that he needed to drive them to school. Frankie calls him out asking if he's moody cause Tristan is mad or hung over he says he's just tired. Miles Jr soon comes in and snaps at his eldest saying to get over it. He relents and gets up as Frankie grabs his stash of pot...she'll give it back if he promises not to light up until after they get to school.
