13x16 Spiderwebs

Council is getting ready for the Degrassi Family Feast to help feed the needy. Things are coming together nicely despite Clare being MIA. Audra pulls up and comments to Drew how proud she is of her son helping the less fortunate and how it’s a shame Bianca isn’t there. Drew tells her Bianca will be flying in that night and will be at the event the following day. Audra tells Drew how she can’t wait to hear about Bianca’s university experiences and soon Drew is informed by Dallas that Bianca is already in town though he’s unable to ditch his meeting to track her down.

WHATEVER IT TAKES

Alli shows up at the Edwards home where Clare is moping around in her bathrobe eating cereal. She says it’s over cause Eli cheated on her despite him saying it was a one-time thing and them not talking since the incident a week ago. He was with another girl…she can’t get past that however Alli tells her that she NEEDS to talk to him.

Drew starts delegating jobs before asking Conner and Jenna relationship advice causing Dallas to roll his eyes at how Drew is bringing it up. Winston says Drew is in for a ‘Turkey Dump’ where a long distance partner comes home over Thanksgiving just to break up. Drew is in panic mode cause he’s always been the dumper (mostly cause he gets blue balls and moves on to another partner)

Zoe and Tristan are going over a skit for their group and Zoe informs him they are doing it at the family feast though Tristan has already promised to spend the day with Maya. Zoe suggests she invites her however it’s pointed out 1) Maya is still on house arrest (enforced by her parents…no shiny ankle bracelet for her) and 2) she still hates Zoe for calling her a slut all over the net. Tristan is torn.

Drew heads to the Dot and sees Bianca there with some other girls. One of her classmates offered her a ride home and her phone was dead so she didn’t call. Drew then joins Bianca and her friends who begin to grill him.

Tristan shows up at the Matlin’s where Maya has their itenery planned for the following day beginning with watching Ryan Gosling’s filmography in reverse all the way back to ‘Breaker High’ (I guess MMC didn’t air in Canada eh?) Tristan informs her he can’t come now cause the troupe will be performing at the feast meaning Maya will be alone as Miles is away with his family and Katie is still in California considering Columbus Day isn’t as big a deal as Thanksgiving so obviously she’s still in classes. Maya tells Tristan he can just come after however he spills the beans that it’s Zoe’s group. Maya gives him her blessing to go and Tristan is happy.

 

Drew is talking to Bianca’s girlfriends who have to leave and Drew invites her to the school to see the gang. Bianca says she needs to drop off her bags and Drew comments about how he was worried she was planning to dump him….well…actually…she kind of was. She didn’t want to worry his holiday. It’s not that she’s seeing someone else it’s just they are young and they have their whole lives. University has changed her and while they have a history she doesn’t want to be tied down.

 

Clare wants to know about Lenore and how far things got. Some clothes did come off however Eli assures her that they didn’t have sex. Eli keeps saying it meant nothing but he can’t deny things happened. Clare then tells him how she screwed the magazine deal and she’s most likely not going to Columbia now because of it.

 

 

Audra asks where Bianca is and Drew says she’s not coming. Dallas then makes a comment about Drew skipping out on the meeting and needing to catch up on work. Drew then decides he needs to prove to Bianca that he’s changed so he calls her saying she HAS to come to the fest and pretend just for the day the engagement is off for Audra cause he lost a son she can’t lose a daughter too.

 

 

The feast goes on and Audra hugs Bianca saying she’s glad the girl could be there.

 

 

Tristan is practicing for the show as Maya shows up dressed in the Turkey costume instead of Winston. Tristan tells her she needs to hide and she says she will however Maya hands him a pie to toss in Zoe’s face. Tristan says they are just like each other with their revenge plots and he wants no part of it.

 

 

Drew is trying to show Bianca he’s changed however when he goes in for a kiss she reminds him she’s only pretending they are a couple for Audra and it’s still over. Drew then sees Clare crying in the council office and he asks if she’s been Turkey Dumped too. Clare doesn’t think so and Drew tells her how Bianca dumped him and she says of how Eli kissed Lenore. They lament about their lost loves as one thing leads to another and they make out causing two of the shows biggest super couples to sink ship. Clare says it best with her OH MY GOD response.

 

 

Zoe and Tristan are doing their skit where Tristan ends up pie-ing Zoe anyway.

 

 

Eli shows up at the school and Clare gives her usual ‘What Are You Doing Here?’ line. Eli says he doesn’t want to lose what they have and he hands her a bound copy of all their emails to one another. It’s their story and he doesn’t want to see it end.

 

 

Drew tells Bianca that yes they do need to break up and the reminisce. He tells her he needs to let her go so she can live the life she deserves and they agree to always be friends.

 

 

Maya thanks Tristan for pie-ing Zoe and can’t wait to go back home so that she doesn’t get in trouble and they can watch their movies however Tristan brings Zoë into the room wanting the girls to call a truce for his sanity. They agree for Tristan cause it’s the Holidays after all.

 

After a day of feeding the needy the helpers are all ready to settle down but first Drew tells Audra that he and Bianca broke up. Dallas gives a speech saying this is all because of Drew and he’s thankful for him. Drew then gives a speech of his own saying that they need to stick together cause together they are unstoppable.
