13x13 Who Do You Think You Are--Postmortem

 

11x30/31 Nowhere To Run RECAP

In Canada I don’t know if it was called its original title ‘Bleeding Love’ or not. Anyway this stand-alone two part episode was meant as a bridge/filler between the summer novella and the back fourteen that hasn’t been set to air until the spring of this season. It was pegged by some as a Halloween episode and while it did air around Halloween time in Canada it didn’t air until mid-November stateside the first time that episodes didn’t sync up across North America since season 9. The feel of this episode is a bit weird and not cause it had the same ‘movie’ cinematography as Hollywood, Manhattan, Spring Fever, and season twelve’s Vegas. Also it was purely coincidental that this episode’s recap would be queued to post on Halloween (okay sure so I doubled up a few episodes to make it so but whatever)

Anyway it all begins on a dark and stormy night…..no seriously it does. Clare’s looking at a dress in her room and letting out a scream. Alli, back from her summer in Ottawa comments saying it’s not THAT bad as Clare brings up it’s not the dress it’s the fact that her mom’s getting married to her exes’ dad in the morning. Alli asks if she’s talked to Jake but he’s gone rogue all summer working as a counselor by his cabin. Clare admits she still has feelings for him but she needs to move on. The girls soon hear a foreboding notice and Alli thinks it’s coming from the closet. There is nothing in there but soon the lights flicker out and they see a mysterious shadow by the door. As the lights return Jake’s there and he wants to talk. He tells Clare he was just there to move things into his new room and he’ll see her at the wedding. Clare tells him the space he gave her was a good thing all things considered and tomorrow is a fresh start between them. Jake leaves the room leaning against the wall with a sigh as he opens up the box in his hand to reveal a bouquet of roses.

WHATEVER IT TAKES (in the initial air there was a special title sequence but here on the DVD we get the new season 11 part 2 sequence….. it’s a bit discombobulated cause it has a mix of old scenes and new which wouldn’t be so bad except the old scenes have students in the polo’s for the grades they were in last year sans Katie and Marisol who are in sport uniforms and Fiona who was retained while the new characters obviously have their new polo’s. It begins with the old Adam and Jake/Alli/Clare scenes, then a new scene with the new freshman Tristan, Maya, Tori, and Zig. Then the KC/Jenna/Ty scene despite them giving the baby up and being splitsville, Katie/Marisol, Imogen/Eli/Fiona, Conner/Wesley (despite Spencer not being on the show due to personal reasons then told they exhausted plots for Wesley and firing him), new scene with Mo and Miss Oh which is pretty much the same as the one with her and Sav in part A, Bianca/Simpson/Owen, and finally Dave and Drew)

11x28/29 Dead and Gone--RECAP

 Welcome to the mid-season finale as despite the school year being over there is plenty more to see…sixteen episodes more to be exact. No, we’re not having a summer set arch….that’s saved for the clusterfuck that was the Summer arch of season thirteen….however we do get one episode set at summer’s  end as well as fourteen episodes that take place in the timespan of the entire ‘Boiling Point’ arch of summer season ten….(schools start till just before Christmas break for those who need a breakdown….) We also are candidly introduced to one of the four new freshman this episode…so keep your eyes open.

Class is over and Drew should already be sleeping in….but the new student council president is his girlfriend and this is her first big event so she owes him….it’s worth it….she’s nothing like Bianca and that whole chapter of his life is behind him. He’s with an amazing, smart, beautiful….. ‘Bianca’ Adam calls out. “No I’m with Katie,” Drew replies back however his brother soon points to the girl in question in an alleyway just off campus standing closely with Vince.

11x26/27 Take A Bow--RECAP

First off this episode leaves me with mass confusion ….why is Graduation BEFORE Prom? I’d live with the assumption that with the crackdown and everything that by the time Simpson caved and green lit the event to be off campus this was the earliest they could attain the venue.

Anyway the episode opens as Anya, Fiona, and Holly J are talking about Prom is a few days away….well after grad….well after Holly J and Anya graduate. They end up running into Charlie who invites the trio to her first art show. Holly J asks if Fiona is going to go but she says no things are rather complicated.

11x24/25 Don’t Panic – RECAP

There is something rather eye rolling about this episode and that something is that one of its subplots centers on a school election. I know what you’re saying….this is High School and that’s what they have…all well and good, however remember this school year started all the way back at the start of last season where we ALREADY had the Sav vs. Holly J election. My assumption is cause the current president is a senior and will be gone there is a need to have a new one inducted before he graduates to take care of all the back to school planning.

Katie’s asking Marisol her views on the health initiative that the schools going on cause issues matter if she wants to get votes. Marisol jokes that if she wants to get votes she should wear tighter shirts…..okay….but when all is said and done Katie’s a shoe in as while she’s not unopposed her only competition is Mo. Katie says Mo’s smart and he’s funny and Marisol says yea but he’s fat and their president needs to be aspirational like the picture in Katie’s poster. She also brings up the tight shirts once more as Drew gives them a wave. Marisol can’t believe Drew’s flirting with her and Katie comments how she thought her friend moved past him. Marisol says you never get over an epic crush and could you imagine being held in his strong arms….kissing his lips…. Katie interjects saying Drew and her….Marisol knows…are in Tae Kwon Do together and hopes Katie can put in a good word.

11x22/23 Drop It Like It’s Hot –RECAP

Alternately this episode was called Poker Face at least in initial PR. I have no clue as to why the title changed seeing as how A) the Lady Gaga song by the same name plays in this episode and 2) we have a sub-plot about poker/gambling….

Alli and Dave are texting I love yous and Jenna asks what he thought about her being accepted to the summer long science camp. Alli says she plans on telling him….eventually. Dave then shows up asking how all those late night pillow fights with her new roommate Jenna are going and invites himself over to play cards with her dad.

Bullfrog is driving Eli to school asking if he slept the night before. Eli said he was up late doing revisions. Bullfrog asks how he’s doing emotionally and if Eli needs to see someone to talk. Eli says it’s fine and it’s mostly due in part to Bullfrog giving him the pills or so his dad thinks. As this conversation is going on outside, Clare and Jake are acting all coupley out in the rain. As Eli gets out and walks toward the school he spits his pill into a baggie filled with more discarded ones.

11x12/13 Should of Said No RECAP—

From the title I bet you’re wondering if this is another rape based plot….and no it’s not rape based.

Clare’s on her phone talking to Alli about Jake and how he’s tall and drives a truck and is supermegafoxyawsomehot…..okay maybe Clare didn’t use that last word verbatim but come on Jake Martin is supermegafoxyawsomehot as she’s gushing about him she walks into her living room to see Glenn there. Clare is beat red only to be redder when Glenn tells her that he’s in the kitchen and she walks in on him shirtless. She’s in a rambling speechless mode and you can just feel the chemistry between the characters….even though this is just a midgame….

11x03: Love Game RECAP

No don’t let things fool you we’re not giving up on two part episodes just yet (at least not until season 13) however unlike last season’s Summer Arch where week 1 we had Manhattan kick it off and then for one week only have an episode air on Friday with this season we had an hour long season opener with three one-parters week one and two parts the remainder of the season leading to a grand and odd numbered total of 45 Episodes this season…..

The episode opens with Clare looking in the mirror trying to figure out what to do with her hair and Helen calling out to her to not be late for Dinner. Also getting ready for school is new mom Jenna focusing on both getting herself and baby Ty ready.

Now we’re at Degrassi as Eli is limping into the school and down the hall with a cane devoid of any emotions like a zombie as Clare and Alli walk down the halls….it had to end sometime but Clare just hopes he’s okay. She locks eyes on him and Alli asks if he’s even called since that night….no…..but that doesn’t mean that they can’t be mature about things. She asks how he’s going and he says great she asks if he wants to talk and he says nope….like I said before he’s very robotic and zombie like and his spark is gone.

WHATEVER IT TAKES (new background vocals and with this season brings a whole new opening sequence….granted it’s the same style as seasons 3-5 and 8-present but the sequences are new. The order of scenes is….Adam, New Character Jake, Alli & Clare, Anya & Holly J & Chantey, KC &Jenna (and baby TY), ascended extra Marisol & New Character Katie, New Character Imogen& Eli & Fiona, Zane & Riley, Conner & Wesley, Sav & Miss Oh, Simpson & Bianca, Owen, Dave, and finally Drew.

11x01/2 Spring Fever AKA Boom Boom Pow—RECAP

While this episode is the season opener it was produced at the end of season ten….that said doesn’t expect to see any newbies. And don’t expect to see a new and improved opening title sequence either as this episode is produced on the DVD like the full length movie episodes were.

The episode opens with scenery porn of Toronto. It’s Spring Break. The Bhandari’s are painting walls, Drew, Bianca, KC, and Dave are out where a DJ is giving out KeKe Palmer tickets and Bianca does a dance to win them as Fiona is trying on swim suites. Bianca is taking Drew home before his curfew as some old buddy of hers, Anson starts to cat call her. He’s a nobody….a has been and she just wants to saver what time she has left with Drew.

SEASON 11 CHARACTERS

Season 11 is rather dis-joined with the first part taking place at the end of the present school year and introducing a few new faces while the back end dropped all the graduates and added a quad of incoming freshman....instead of making two season tag pages however I'm adding everyone in here.....

10x43/44 Drop The World—RECAP

Here we are at the Season FINALLY I mean Finale of season ten…..yea seems like forever since the season began and just think the school year is far from over as we’ve still got Spring Break, A SECOND school election, Prom, Graduation, and FIVE Newbies (well three newbies, one minor character promoted to main and one new minor that is promoted to main in the back end of the season) left to come.

Eli runs to the newsstand buying up all the copies of ‘Gothic Times’ before running to school. They published Eli’s story….no not Eli’s…..THEIRS….their first collaboration. They are a dynamic duet and Eli wants to hone his dark twisted mind and her flair for the romantic together lock themselves in a basement and not leave until the manuscript of their first novel is finished…..tempting….Clare tells him she’s got plans….to go shopping with Alli for Spring Fling. Eli comments saying she was just published and says doesn’t she think dances are trivial and droll….she says he doesn’t have to come.

Drew wants to celebrate however he realizes he’s the fifth wheel to Dave and Sadie and KC and Jenna. He decides to stay behind and work on his game and I just want to give him a hug.

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. She asks if there is singing and while there isn’t there is a kiss. She says so long as she gets final wardrobe approval she’s in it.

13x10 You Got Me Postmortem||

Before I share my thoughts I have a question…..was the scene where Maya wrote a song basically telling Zoë she wishes her dead a scene edited out of the US Airing of This Is How We Do It or was it a sneak peak for the rest of 13B????

Anyway I’m kind of over Alli/Leo and have been since the summer so not much opinion on those…..well except Alli you do know that in pretty much any given Nicolas Sparks novel somebody dies and don’t think Adam’s death is the death in your story either just saying…..

Going to instead talk about the tenners (or niner in Miles’s sister’s case…..so is she a series regular or is she a reccureer and more important should I be tagging her when I go back to recaps this…..

Anyway Zoe is all happy cause apparently that cliff hanger phone call Drew’s called her a few more times and she’s totally sure they are together…..though, as Maya and Tristan point out Drew has a girlfriend (FIANCE guys….also I was a bit miffed it seemed for the moment like Maya forgot Drew’s history with her sister thankfully it was later brought up so all was forgiven) Drew comes clean saying he’s not dating Bianca but engaged and he was hopped up on sleeping pills and he’s upset cause the doctor won’t give him more…..

Zig’s back though the fact that the reason that he had nice things in the promos was because he’s now a drug dealer and NOT because Zoe becomes his sugar mama or his mom won the lotto or has a sugar daddy sadden me. 

Zoe over all is a maniputivly bitch with no redeeming quality taking the drugs and trying to use them as a means to get Drew to be her date.

I really love Drew/Clare’s relationship though I wish the writers keep it in a platonic sense because straight girls and guys CAN be friends though between the him picturing Zoe as Clare and the promos…. Well….yea….. Drew asks Clare not to tell Bianca about his drugged out misadventure and Clare agrees to come back as Veep and promises not to bring up a texting and driving thing until Drew is ready…..

Back to Zoe I wonder if Maya wanting to be friends is more a Zoe is a poor girls Tori thing or a friends close enemy closer thing…..

Also I love the Dallas/Drew bromance though I just want to give Dallas a hug between the Alli rejection and the fact he not only lost Adam but Cam as well

10x31/32 Halo—RECAP

And we’re up to the end of the second ‘arch’ of the epic that is season ten…..

The episode opens as people are dancing on the steps of the school with ribbons as Holly J is doing a voiceover but is really talking on the PA. It appears the Power Squad did get reinstated and are selling magical wishing stars for Charity….. I am thinking it’s something akin to the shamrocks and the like that MDA and Make a Wish sell at various venues through the year. Also the power squad is pleased to be hosting a dance….however said dance is during the day and uniforms must still be worn but hey it’s something. Jenna comments about it and Sav says it’s the best they could do and Degrassi musicians get to play and he offers Jenna to duet with him.

Clare is heading downstairs and walks into a conversation her parents have about selling the house. This is the first she’s hearing about it and she’s upset….it’s part of the family. Helen and Randall have one major issue to nail down however and that’s Clare. It’s decided that she’ll spend weekends and vacations with her dad in his condo…..now the fact that the dad already has his own condo is like a red flag that some shit was going down cause it’s doubtful it’s a recent purchase while Clare would live in the new house during the week with Helen….Randall has even hired a moving van to move some of Clare’s things to his place. Reaching into a ‘junk box’ Clare picks up her dad’s old watch that he taught her to tell time with. He tells her you can’t keep anything and sometimes change is good.

10x27/28 Love Lockdown—RECAP

  

This is another episode that is somewhat misleading as we are not having another lockdown at Degrassi…..though like insanity Degrassi somewhat manages to do the same things over and over again at times and hopes to attain a different result sometimes it does other times it doesn’t. I’m just a bit rambling cause as I type this re-cap a new promo has come out for the next block of the present season and it looks like a giant clusterfuck and by the time this recap posts the first episode of said block will of already aired and so you may judge for yourself….

The episode opens as Declan arrives at Degrassi with Fiona. He’s in town for the theater awards and to hopefully sweep Holly J back off her feet because he’s not spoken to her in over a month. Offering to take Fiona to class he’s told students only passed the doors. As they reach the steps and he’s about to drop his sister off, Declan see’s Holly J updating the marquee. She’s rather nice telling him how she’s surprised he left New York to come to the little awards and he says how the play meant allot and they agree to meet up for lunch. Fiona tells him she wants Holly J to be a part of the family as much as he does but to not get his hopes up.

10x25/26 Don’t Let Me Get Me—RECAP

Like it was said at the end of the summer finale when the students come back after Christmas Break they won’t recognize the place which is true thanks in part to police patrols, metal detectors, oh and the instatement of school uniforms. Clare comments she looks like Barney The Dinosaur in her purple polo while Alli comments how she thought she’d be glad to be back in a uniform…a teasing remark once you remember season eight Clare wore her catholic school outfit for most of that season. Now I know allot of fans hated the uniforms which consisted of Kaki bottoms paired with polo’s color coordinated depending on grades so Yellow for freshman, Purple for Sophomores, Red for Juniors and Blue for Seniors.

Alli and Clare are playing who is to blame for this Clare and the whole Eli vs. Fitz war or Alli for her Boiler Room antics. They comment on the police and metal detectors and wonder if they’ll even be able to think freely at this new Degrassi.

Drew shows up and Clare comments how Alli didn’t expect he’d vanish. Alli comments she both missed him and wants to maim him and Drew pulls her aside asking if she thought of them getting back together. She did and doing it would be the worst mistake of her life. Drew claims Bianca was the one whoring herself out and seducing him and he loves her but it’s too little too late no second chances…one strike he’s out cause he let Bianca treat his body like his own personal amusement park.

WHATEVER IT TAKES (and there are some slight changes in the credits. The scene with Holly J and Leia has been removed and in its place is a scene adding Zane and Owen to the credits and the opening scene with Peter and Sav with the video camera has been changed and now it’s Sav and Holly J. All other scenes remain intact until next season when there is a totally new sequence)

10x23/24 All Falls Down—RECAP

Here we are at the climax of the first of three ‘Summer Novella’s’ In case I didn’t mention what those were of if you simply forgot, from seasons 10-12 for 6,7, and 5 weeks respectively Degrassi aired new episodes nightly four days a week and story arcs became more serialized then episodic and even in the fall and spring arcs and into the present season where the summer format was changed back to a weekly one it has a more serialized ‘soapy’ feel at times then the seasons of yore…..anyway this episode marks a changing point at Degrassi and when it comes back in episode 25 you may not recognize the place which (Simpson even says that later on) But I’m getting ahead of myself.

Sav’s dressed as Elvis making a video PA announcement about the dance.

Alli is tutoring Drew who just knows he’s going to fail. They stop for a study break/make out session when Audra breaks them up. She comments how this is why he’s failing math and that if he focused on school and not girls maybe he’s be passing. She tells him how lucky he is because of the stink bomb and how he had an extra day for midterms. After Audra walks away Alli comments how Audra must think she’s some skank like Bianca. Drew says she just doesn’t like him sucking in school.

The guys would too if he wasn’t stuck inside the biggest walk in closet like ever…..She then asks how Zane is cause let’s face it she so saw their little energy exchange however Riley tells her all they talked about was math. She tells him he should go talk again and Riley promises he’ll do it tomorrow. She tells him the present is a gift and he should go give said gift to Zane in the form of flirting.

13x09 This Is How We Do It—Postmortem

I don’t know if it’s the low expectations going in or flipping back between the episode and Glee on my DVR between breaks or the fourth of a bottle of Seagrams Malt Beverage I drank but the episode didn’t suck

Sure the opening titles still like in the summer block leave much to be desired and look like they were made on windows media player and if they wanted to change things they should of went back to either the season six/seven ‘soap’ opening or just a simple title card but whatever…..also they said Ricardo (Zig) was in this episode but unless his scenes got cut or he was silent in the background he wasn’t.'

10x17/18 Tears Dry In My Own—RECAP

Jenna and Alli are in the girl’s room and Jenna is once again complaining about her body. Some of the buttons of her shirt apparently came undone in her stomach region and Alli comments first how the shirt used to fit and then starts reading from presumably a health book the signs of pregnancy complete with Alli going to second base on Jenna squeezing her breasts for tenderness. She asks if Jenna’s been sexually active and safe and how she should take a test but Jenna can’t be pregnant because she has an audition for a music completion to go to however Alli can’t come watch cause she has detention cause she was caught stealing ‘what to expect’ books for Jenna out of the library so I guess Jenna had the same inklings Alli was having eh….

10x15/16 My Body Is a Cage|| RECAP

This is one of those episodes that I’ve partly been looking forward to re-watching and at the same time due to recent events in present cannon have equally been dreading. This is a huge Adam centric episode and the big revel of his character identifier.

It’s hours before school and Adam is complaining about the loud music blasting from Audra’s van. Drew says it’s to amp him for practice and Adam asks why he has to go to school early again. Audra comments how he can watch Drew but Adam just wants to be able to play sports or at least be in REAL PE and not recreations class. Audra comments how it’s a new year at a new school and Adam should just lie low. Adam comments about its High School and lying low is impossible and besides they are doing ballroom dancing which is just as bad as something that would be done in real PE. Audra is adamant about Adam going to recreation instead and tells him how his grandma is coming to town and it would be nice if ‘Gracie’ came to dinner. Drew goes to practice as Adam tells Audra that ‘Gracie’s’ gone and he’s not playing dress up.
