14x03 IF YOU COULD SEE

Winston is raising his eyes at Frankie who wants to 'Wax Drew's Chest' as a Power Cheer Fundraiser. She has a list of other ideas but Winston has only one idea to make out with her. He starts to unzip her jacket to get a glimpse of her cleavage after all he's a guy and they are programmed for boobs however while Frankie likes him she doesn't know if she's ready. They have been dating for one month two weeks and four days and she's not ready to round the bases especially when her parents could catch them in a compromising position. Winston then playfully removes his shirt and proceeds to hover over Frankie tickling her prompting Hunter to catch their moment of intimacy followed by Miles and then their mother. Frankie promises it's NOT what it looks like and Winston leaves. Mother tells Frankie no more boys in her room... Frankie asks WHY...after all she is fourteen and Miles has done way more. Mother says it's cause Miles can't get pregnant and Frankie says she can't either cause she doesn't plan on actually having sex.

14x02 WISE UP

Hunter is quizzing Miles on traffic procedures as he's about to take his road test his mother comments that she wished he focused on his actual school work the way he is focused on this. Frankie then walks in saying that she'd be surprised if the dad lets him take it as she tosses him the daily paper. He did that interview with the reporter and to quote Frankie made their dad look 'like a Batman Villain Who Hates His Gay Son'. Daddy Hollingsworth walks in wanting to talk to Miles and the mom ushers out the twins embarrassingly calling them her 'peanuts'. Miles's dad tells him he's not going to school that day and hands him golf clubs...he has a day off and wants to spend a father son day...they can golf...miles can even drive and he accepts him gay...straight...whatever...

14x01 Smells Like Teen Spirit

As promised I've pulled up the season on Youtube and have started to slowly but surely finish up my recap project as I want to be a competitionist damn it!

So all I remember from season 13 is that it was long and draggy and ended on the cliffhanger that our beloved Clare is preggers....

So the episode begins as the school is being evacuated due to a fire (why not...just why not the damn school is freaking cursed) and Miles and others are looking anxiously for Frankie...

HOWEVER we don't know if they find her yet as it flashes back to 10 weeks earlier and Becky is in front of the school which is still recovering from the hurricane damages (cursed I tell you!) handing out flyers for Power Cheer and to parallel the cold opening is also looking for Frankie who she hears is an ace tumbler. Drew comments that the school has a Cheer squad already however according to Becky this is not the same thing as Power Squad but it's an actual competitive sport. Zoe and Tristan show interest however Becky informs Tristan it's girls only. The underclassman head in the school as Alli and Dallas head out... it's the beginning on their final quarter of senior year...FINALLY. Alli is looking for Clare but she's MIA...she and Dallas leave and Drew tells Becky he's sure Clare doesn't care about them (I forgot Drecky were a thing for a moment) Becky however isn't being bummed about Clare knowing about them she's more worried cause Power Cheer is HER fresh start and if Zoe is on the team it will keep her from moving past the fact her brother raped the underclassman. Drew tells her to just not let Zoe join..as President he decrees their last term be awesome just as soon as he finds his VP. His VP AKA

Clare is in the ladies room suffering from a bout of morning sickness when Alli comes in...Alli asks if it's the Flu and Clare says she at a bad breakfast burrito...Alli teases saying is she sure it's not morning sickness and Clare all but admits she's knocked up...and it's most likely Drew's put she's getting an abortion she's already decided and picks up the phone to call the clinic... WHOA...again...a total 180 of her character from the early years.

WHATEVER IT TAKES (still what I affectionately call the power point opening...we get a full song again in Next Class though so there is that...)

CHARACTERS SEASON 14:

RECAP UPDATE

So the 24 episode Degrassi season 14 is up on Youtube to stream and so in my free time I really think I need to be a completionist on my project and add that as well as Next Class to the blog (I need to know the resolve from the cliffhanger Jan 6th can't come fast enough)

Also I know I'm mostly writing this for my own refrence points but if anyone sees this and wants to relive the golden age of Next Generation check out the podcast Whatever It Takes

Also in season 13 I will not go back and re-tag Tiny, nor will I add Grace's last name to the character list however her last name and Tiny in general will be added from her on as well as any season 14-present new comers
