9x01/2 Just Can’t Get Enough RECAP


The season opens just weeks after the events of last season/the movie special as Studz hot off their theatrical debut in Mewsical High are rocking it at Degrassi. As they are singing in the gym cut to a limo pulling up in front of the school as two well-dressed students exit from it. They are Declan and Fiona Coyne, their father is some sort of diplomat and it’s unclear whether they are American, Canadian, or duel citizens as while they call New York their ultimate home they are world travelers. Chantey introduces herself to the twins’ camera in hand ready to vlog. They ask who the important people are…. Holly J the president, Studz Degrassi’s own movie stars and the lead singers girlfriend famed model Mia just home from Paris. I assume the shoot that was canceled/delayed in the movie happened and she flew from LA to Paris then back home which was why she had millions of dollars of cloths with her on the bus….see it all comes together. Holly J tells the band they are on the set list for the Winter Beach Bash while Peter comments they ARE the set list and informs Mia he’s so close to landing a spot in the music master class.

WHATEVER IT TAKES this season it’s a new vocal track of the theme song as well as some new scenes as Derek and Mia are now gone and the four new characters this season are added. The changes are as follows: The Leia/Derek scene is now Declan/Fiona, between the Anya/Chantey and KC/Clare/Connor/Alli scene is now Leia/Holly J, then after the grade nine quad are new grade niners Jenna and Dave…. Finally with Holly J in a new scene the one of her and Mia is obviously gone….




Chantey wants to ask Mia and Peter what their portmanteau is since are the it couple.  Chantey introduces them to Declan and Fiona before going on their way. The twin’s mom is the new editor of TO style (a plot that I assume dropped as quick as it’s came) and Declan offers to hook Mia up with the magazine sometime. He then tells Peter that his band rocks and it’s adorable how he calls Peter ‘Sir’ He can’t wait to check out the beach bash as it beats the stuffy get together that their parents throw.

Johnny won’t give Alli any hallway PDA however after seeing Clare the two girls embrace and gush about how almost all their classes even their non-gifted electives are the same. They then leave their boys in the dust and scamper off. Jenna bumps into Alli with her guitar and is so glad that the girls aren’t all mean girls and backstabbers like her old school. She’s a big bubbly ball and Alli already doesn’t like her Mary Sunshine attitude.

Peter shows up in the Master Class however there isn’t an open slot for him.

Jenna is singing  in the café auditioning for Holly J. Alli wonders if they stepped into a bizarre white version of Fame (or as I like to call it Glee ) and Clare hopes not because she’s tone deaf. But not Jenna….she’s amazing though Alli is the first to point out that nobody can be sunshine and rainbows all the time…..(remind anyone else of another newbie blonde who becomes totes BFFs with Jenna three seasons later ) Jenna’s the final performer for the bash. Alli asks what her deal is and Jenna smiles thanking Alli for calling her pretty.

Mia tells Peter to just take normal classes since he’s not in the music track….he asks how he got lucky with a smart girl like Mia and asks if her mom can sit for Isabella. She is cause Mia is meeting her agent to set up another shoot since she feels bad for turning allot down lately…..um….but didn’t you say you were taking a hiatus and only working Summer and Holidays? I guess too much hairspray got to your brain there Mia….. Or you’ve booked a one way ticket to Mystic Falls so continuity for the moment is out the window. Nope….Peter does bring this up and Mia calls her non supportive. Declan decides to join Peter at lunch since besides his sister Peter is his only friend. He asks what he can do for his new friend and Peter comments how he can get him and Mia into the mom’s party. Declan casually comments that Mia would wear something low cut he’d assume and being the worldly guy Declan is we all know in the back of his mind he’s thinking of a ménage a trios’. Peter though is quick to comment whatever she does wear she’s off limits.

In science class they are supposed to pair up and Alli sits alone so that Jenna is Clare’s partner…. Keep your friends close and the sketchy new girl closer.

Mia shows up at Peter’s place and he comments that he thought she was at a meeting. She was but it’s over. He’s glad and tells her about the party. She has something to tell him too….she’s the new face of Eurofresh and this contract is massive like two hundred fifty GRAND massive….though she’s going to move to Paris….France not Texas not that it matters. She’s leaving Saturday and she needs to head out cause she’s getting a rushed visa.

Alli brings Clare breakfast and tells her that yes they are friends she just wants her to crack Jenna. Because she’s CLERLY the devils spawn.

Mia is getting her ducks all in a row having a tutor set up in Paris so she won’t lose her year. She may need to miss a party or two but she’ll make it work. Speaking of parties she can go to the Coynes solo and he gives her all her stuff back. Though the breakup is short lived as he thinks perhaps he’ll move too. He’s emancipated and still has movie money and he can always lomb onto her tutor…. It’s brilliant.

Alli asks KC where Clare is and he comments that he thought she was with the other girl. Clare is actually in a classroom with Jenna getting a guitar lesion. Clare comments how it’s much harder than it looks and Jenna pulls a that’s what he said line. Jenna asks if she wants to have another lesson or work on their project and Clare tells her she has plans with Alli but Jenna can join in.

Peter and Mia arrive at the swanky Coyne party and have a feeling they are not in Kansas anymore Toto but it’s fine cause they’ll be going to plenty of posh parties like this in Paris. Declan tells them this is their home sweet home for the next six months give or take and Fiona offers them a raw Oyster. Peter is grossed out and Declan comments about how droll he is and asks Peter to liven up the party with a song but without the band he sucks and it’s no wonder he didn’t get into the music program.

Clare is giving Jenna a manicure and she tells her how it’s one of the useful things Darcy taught her. Alli can’t believe that they are friends…..she knew Jenna would be a friend stealer. Jenna isn’t a stealer (yet) and she wants to be friends with both girls.

Peter vents about how he and the party sucks and Mia tells him no he doesn’t before Mrs. Coyne pulls her away. Fiona joins Peter who casually comments about her not moving to another galaxy (see CW) like his other girlfriends. Fiona promises it’s not in the cards (see lesbian though she’s in Narnia at present time). Victoria shows up and offers Peter drugs.

Jenna is glad that the girls want to be friends cause it’s so hard being the new girl. She then asks what boys are off limits cause she’s a known boyfriend stealer and her MO is bad boys… RED FLAG RED FLAG perhaps Alli was right to not want to trust her. Alli tells her she’s with Johnny and Clare says she’s with KC. Johnny is too old and she promises not to look at KC BULLSHIT!!!!!

Peter is high as a kite and Mia casually asks Declan if there are drugs going around and Declan casually comments that he can find her some if she wants. NO….she wants to know if Peter is….and Fiona comments that Victoria is giving out party favors and yea he’s on crank. Mia asks if he took something from Victoria and he admits he took a little coke…..coke would have been better but this is meth which is much worse. A High Peter was up all night gaming and Mia lied telling her mom he had food poisoning so she could spend the night. He promises it was a one off but Mia tells him tons of addicts say the same thing and he needs help. He just wants to go to school…..TBC….also instead of an instrumental outro there is now vocals to it.

Peter is looking up Paris as he’s crashing. Riley asks what’s up and he says he’s planning on going to Paris with Mia. Declan shows up in the MI lab commenting how he’s not seen anyone down that many oysters since Mardi Gras and that the post drug crash is always the worse before informing Riley that Pete was on meth….Peter promised it’s a one-time thing and asks Declan if he’s ever…..no confidence comes naturally to him but Victoria is a human pharmacy. He asks if they had sex and that when Peter said no he claims he dodged an STI bullet cause all she does is drug up and sleep around. He goes on some Meth site and shows Peter a before and after picture and says this is him in six months if he gets hooked…..it was a one-time thing (my ass)

I KNOW I CAN MAKE IT THROUGH

Kwan is doing a lesson on Pygmalion and god I swear her lessons relate so much to plot points. Anyway Blue drew something for Holly J. It’s a sketch of her as a super heroine which is the cover of a scrap book with articles about the Dot robbery from Danger Zone. ‘Super Holly’ Anya asks where the J. She comments Blue just calls her Holly.

Mia is withdrawing and Isabella points out that Peter looks sick. Peter says he has food poisoning. Peter is making a transcript request and says he should be there as soon as Tuesday giving them five months before her mom and daughter arrive.

Holly J is stressing about all that needs to be done for the beach bash. Sav asks if they are getting a hot tub which is impossible but Tacos she can do. She only has two hours to set the dance up so it can’t be too elaborate. Blue makes an announcement asking who wants to help her set up saying they will have a hot tub. He then tells her that the shooting has helped boost her likeness factor.

Sav and Peter are talking about the band and Peter moving to Paris and how he’s better then Sav cause the latter doesn’t know what he’d do if Anya posed nearly naked in magazines. Peter is still in a crashy mood though falling asleep in class.

Holly J is impressed at all the help she’s getting as Dave approaches her with a suggestion….that they have a toga day for fun. She says she’ll look into it and Blue says Holly J will make it happen.

Mia’s doing a shoot where she’s posing sexy with another guy. Peter flips out and ends up heading back to his apartment where he obviously took more meth. Mia shows up and he comments that she should stay in Toronto and be with him cause they are happy…..he pretty much calls her selfish and blames her for him taking drugs. She tells him he’s not going to Paris he’s going to get rehab. The next day he’s all high as a kite again….he’s not moving away but it’s okay girls come and go but Studz rock.

Conner and KC have a request, for athletes to get front of the line café privileges. She doesn’t like that she’s a walking suggestion box. Anya comments that she‘ll never be happy….first everyone hated her now she’s got a cute boy and the respect of the student body.

Danny and Sav are talking about Peter’s iradic behavior and Declan tells them about the drugs.

At the beach bash Jenna’s singing. Blue comments about how the bash is a success as Anya gives Holly J a taco. She’s starving and hasn’t eaten all day however before she can relax Conner files a complaint about Bruce cutting the line when football season is over and Dave wants to know just when toga day is. Clare comments about a bad smell from the bathroom and she starts to flip out. Blue says she needs work with prioritizing and she says no she doesn’t her priority is her damn taco. Studz go on stage sans Peter but they don’t know who is going to sing….Sav ends up doing it meanwhile Peter is wandering the streets high. He shows up at the school and a fight breaks out. Blue tells Holly J she needs to go inside and break it up but she deals in raffle tickets not drama and as he comments about the way she should handle the money she flips….she’s the president not him and being president means she does things HER way.

High!Peter is back on the street not answering his cell. He ends up calling Riley saying he thinks he’s ODed or something he’s in the middle of the street and is tripping out. Danny, Spinner, Sav, and Riley find a tweaked Peter and take him home. Sav and Danny leave but Riley and Spinner plan to spend the night. He gives Riley the drugs to flush and makes a long distance call….to his mom asking for her to come home.

Holly J is cleaning up from the dance and Blue shows up saying if she’s ready to apologize he’s ready to listen. She however calls him on his crap saying in the immortal words of Popeye ‘I Yam What I Yam…..and by the way it’s Holly FREAKING J’


Mia is talking to Peter via Skype about how first class and Paris is and he tells her his mom is back from Ragina. She’s glad he’s not alone and hopes he keeps in touch. Miss H tells him if he relapses she’s sending him to rehab.
