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.

WHATEVER IT TAKES…..




Paige is going to interview with Andrea for a fashion job. I remember when this plot came out it was a big deal cause the writers wanted to do a modeling plot….though I’m sure most fans were hoping for something more on par with Mia’s from next season but….whatever. Paige is asked if she drives and she tells Andrea yes and she lands the job as personal assistant.

Manny and Damian are late to class and it seems like they are together. Liberty is away at some conference and so Toby as VP is in charge and he announces a unity meeting and is met with tons of groans. Emma wants to do something to help bridge the school. Manny continues to look at Damian longingly and when Emma asks what’s up, Manny says things kind of fizzled after the fight at the cheer meet.

Marco is interviewing new roommates and we meet Griffin. Paige and Marco outrank Ellie and he’s a keeper. Alex makes a comment siding with Ellie however Paige points out she has no say because she doesn’t pay rent.

Manny approaches Damian asking if he’s willing to give them another try and soon they are posing for a photo for the paper.

Paige is wigging out. Her license expired and she thought she could renew it online but now she has a three day hold but her whole job is driving. Alex offers to be her driver for the day. Cut to what must be hours later Alex and Paige are showing up at University House with couture for a show. She and Marco are fangirling/boying but Alex thinks it’s sick how much they cost.

Manny’s on the internet yet again this time for good. She shows the photo to Damian and says how they are the inter racial poster children for school unity. Damian tells her that the segregation of the schools was his idea because Lakehurst needs its own identity. Manny thinks that they should be together both the clubs and them. He tells her that she doesn’t get it because she doesn’t get politics.

Alex blows off picking up Paige because she’s getting stoned with Jay because Mel just dumped him and he needed a friend. Alex wants to go get her but realizes she’s high. She tells Jay the dresses are the only thing Paige cares about at present. Cut to Paige showing up all upset and Alex apologizes for being a jerk and pulls off her robe where she’s modeling the dress. Paige freaks telling her to take it off and to get out.

The next day Paige is steaming the dress. Alex apologizes to her again. She didn’t understand how serious this was and Paige tells her this is the first thing she’s been excided for since Banting. Alex wants to prove she doesn’t suck and so Paige tells Alex to stuff chocolate reminders for the show into envelopes and send them off.

Manny tells Damian that if she can’t support his campaign for segregation then she can’t support him as a boyfriend. He understands calling them the shortest relationship ever then playfully commenting ‘is this because I’m black’ she replies ‘well now that you mentioned it’ and they continue to banter. Holly J and Anya overhear.

Andrea is asking Paige about various assignments and asks why no one has called about the reminders. Paige tells her she had them sent out and she’ll try to fix it.

During either PE or Cheer Practice Holly J tells Manny that she and Chantey have a thing going and want to know who is hotter Brad Pitt or Kanye West. Manny says C) Ryan Gossling (DUH) and the girls are it figures because he’s white. Holly J tells her that rumor has it she’s raciest. Manny can’t believe this and wants to know where they heard it. Holly J says people heard her and Damian. Manny approaches him and confronts him saying that the comment is mudslinging and is going to help him with his campaign. Damian makes a public statement that Manny is not a racist and there was more to the break up. Manny admits it was because she believes in school unity.

Paige is taking calls. All the VIPs are taken care of. Alex shows up at the studio telling Paige how she couldn’t get the ‘stuff’ out. Andréa comments to get Alex out. Paige pulls her aside commenting about the candy price and how it’s like three months’ rent and this glorified temp job is making Paige act like a Diva. And you know the more I’m seeing Paige’s plot this episode the more it’s giving me glimpses of Paige later on in Paradise City (Goes Hollywood). Anyway she tells Alex she was better off as a stripper and that it may have been low but at least Alex was working for something. Paige then tells her she’s done.

It’s announced that the vote is in and the clubs are going to be unified to include students from both schools. Manny tells Damian how some things are better separate like them. Manny teases that smart boys are easily manipulative. Damian teasingly starts to say that Manny is sexist before clarifying he was joking. He then asks her if they could have one more shot and Manny shakes her head and so he asks if Emma’s free. Weather this was a joke or serious they do end up together so hint hint.


Paige tells Marco how she spent all her earnings on cab fare to return the items from the show though she still has a job. Alex tells Paige her mom has a cousin in Ajax so she’s going to move there and find a job. She was more alone with Paige then without. It’s the right thing to do…moving on….but it still hurts.
