6x12 Bitterest Pill--recap


The Episode opens as JT’s funeral has just ended and it’s informed that Drake (and maybe Johnny too though he becomes a character as of next season) are in jail. Emma and Manny ask how Liberty is and she walks off. She tells Toby how people are expecting her to be breaking down like Mia however she can’t. They talk about how JT wouldn’t want a stuffy service like what they just sat through to be it for him and plan a celebration of his life at Degrassi.

WHATEVER IT TAKES (also like to note out that Ryan is still in the opening and not cut like certain other actors were when they were written off/killed off in season twelve)




After the funeral back at Degrassi a grief counselor is there to talk to the students. Mia approaches Toby as he was the last one to see JT alive and asks what his last words were. Toby tells Mia they were talking about how he wanted oatmeal. Mia nods and walks off as Manny approaches and soon Toby admits Oatmeal was code for Liberty. She asks if Toby is going to tell Liberty what was said and Toby admits he wants to wait till the time is right.

Ashley and Ellie are mulling about the tragedy however it soon turns into a talk about Ellie and how she’d kissed Craig and doesn’t know how to tell Jesse this.

Toby tells Liberty that they can grieve for JT together and they soon go to clean his locker out. Mia shows up handing Toby a tape of JT playing with Isabella demanding it be played at the memorial before tossing everything into her bag wanting to get things over with. She’s bitter because she’s his girlfriend and didn’t say goodbye. She thinks Liberty doesn’t care since she’s not crying.

Toby tells Liberty Mia’s sorry and the two head off to play hooky.

Jesse gives Ellie romantic coupons and tells her he loves her however instead of telling him this back she tells him about Craig. He isn’t upset and instead admits he did something with a random girl at the bar the other night.
Toby’s Bubbies’  car  breaks down and Toby curses it out and Liberty laughs….soon they share a moment and make out.Hey it could have been worse…this could be a soap and they could be having hot grief sex right now.

The next day Danny thanks Toby for being there for his sister before saying how he hopes nothing is going on or else he’ll have to choke a dude. Toby then tells Manny about the kiss and Manny tells him it’s not cool and he should take it back

Ellie wants to quit over the random hook up. Jesse asks if she still loves him and she heads to Degrassi.

Toby wants to take back the kiss and Liberty asks why….cause she likes him and he likes her and she kisses him a second time.

Ellie interviews Jimmy and has a moment of clarity.

JT’s memorial happens and Simpson begins to talk as a slideshow begins to play. Backstage Mia fights with Toby about Liberty having the final say when JT didn’t like her and thought she was a cyborg. Toby shakes his head telling Mia that the conversation about oatmeal he told her about was about Liberty really. Liberty tells Mia she can play her tape then tells Toby how she can’t believe he didn’t tell her that JT loved her. As the video of JT/Isabella plays Liberty finally breaks.

Ellie goes back to the office and Jessie wanting to cash in on the pizza coupon she dug from the trash.

Mia, Toby, and Liberty go back to cleaning the locker
