3x19 Dig Me Out postmortem

 
Yet again another episode that didn’t grate me….13C is totally proving to be much better then the first two blocks so far. This we had the Drew/Zoe plot as the A, were introduced to an Imogen plot (remember her) for the B, and more of Alli’s story for the C
Lets go with the C and work our way up shall we….
Alli is trying to get her life back on track despite Leo being out on bail and having a trial soon (um why didn’t he just get deported back to France?). She’s trying to get back into science and be one of the two projects chosen for the regional science competition. She’s floundering however because her arm is in a sling though I think it may also be in part to her putting science on hiatus during the whole Leo relationship where if you recall she was dumbing herself down and having him TUTOR her in the sciences… anyway she pretty much tells Conner she was abused and not mugged while in the lab having a meltdown and eventually gets Jenna to be her assistant while she’s incapacitated. There was also some major Bhandallas UST going on…..I miss Dallas I really hope he continues to fight for Alli even if their relationship is all but a prom date.

Imogen’s plot was very much light hearted filler but we need that in a show especially when the filler isn’t all relationship based. Imogen goes to do a French Assignment when Luke (HELLO) makes a snide comment about her nipples as Imogen isn’t wearing a bra. She forgot as she left in a hurry and doesn’t see the big deal. Madame however sends her to Simpson her sends her home for breaking dress code as while it doesn’t state one needs to wear a bra there is a decency code. Imogen is livid and makes a statement on Degrassi TV despite Becky telling her it’s not the best idea. I like this friendship though I really want to see fallout for the Imogen/Adam kiss to play out in the future. Anyway due to this video Imogen as well as other girls wear their bra outside their shirt and one girl doesn’t wear a shirt at all. This leads the TV station to be shut down and Imogen who read the code of conduct from top to bottom to create a face range page because all the dress code restrictions have a bias against girls…..careful Imogen push too hard and who knows if we’ll have uniforms again in 13D.


With the Drew plot two things came from it… one I REALLY would love to see more of the Drew/Dallas/Clare/Connor bromance cause it seems like their poker games are a regular thing….fanfic PLEASE…. Second there were so many parallels especially near the end of the episode from the whole Krew situation as it seems some things never change and Drew can’t seem to break up with girls when he knows it’s in his best interest to do so. Drew is trying to focus on his job but Zoe is a stage five clinger and despite wanting to keep things casual she tells everyone he’s her boyfriend because she wants street cred being able to say she’s a SOPHMORE dating a SECOND YEAR SENIOR. There were plenty comments about how much younger Zoe is from Drew which makes this creepy and awkward from the get and the Clinton comment from Clare in the first act simply cracked me up but would clearly go over heads of the fans in the shows key demo…. Also it amuses me cause yes the episode was most likely shot back in July/August but the episode was set in January/February which in Toronto it’s Frozen right now….I mean if the pool party was in an indoor pool it’s one thing but…Anyway at said pool party Drew and Zoe have sex off screen in the Hollingsworth pool house an act which Dallas outs to Clare and Connor later on that it was her first time leading the break up to be Drew asking to be facerange official!!!
