9x15/16 Why Can’t This Be Love--RECAP

AKA Promises Prom-Misses

As you can see this is another episode packaged with an alternative name at least stateside and also makes me once more question the wonderful world of Degrassi timeline….Okay so the graduating class of season 5 didn’t even have a prom episode and it just had graduation which seemed to be an afterthought to the relationship dramas at that. The class of season 7 had Prom then Graduation in the same episode, same as the class of season 12. Meanwhile the class of season 11a had Graduation first then Prom in the following episode….I’d like to assume it was due to the problems that had stemmed from Vegas Night that school year but who knows….. Anyway this season we’re now onto the Prom Episode (though they refer to it as the formal) HOWEVER there are three more regular episodes this season with graduation being no more than a five minute after thought in ‘Takes Manhattan’

Rant aside the episode opens with Sav opening his locker to a wave of confetti telling Anya that he’d be honored to go to the formal with him. She comments about how her parents want pictures of them both dressed up and would love his moms beautiful garden as a backdrop for photos. Sav doesn’t say anything and when she leaves he explains to Danny his conundrum. He told his parents he and Anya were done for good and so she can’t come over for formal photos. Danny comments saying when Anya finds this tidbit out it’s going to get messy.

9x03 Shoot To Thrill RECAP

So when this season initially aired while episodes aired in order state-side, in Canada episodes 3/5 and 4/6 aired in an hour-long block and once we get through these next four episodes you’ll see it’s because each of these pairs have major plot continuity together and it’s almost as if they could have been written as two hour long episodes. Anyway this episode opens as it’s clubs fair sign up at the school. Johnny is sitting on the steps and Alli goes up to him and sits on his lap playing with his hat. Bruce shows up and it’s off she goes. She has to meet Clare anyway to sign up for an activity and she wants Johnny to go. He promises he’ll meet her there. As the girls make it to the film club booth it’s full (I’d say Clare wanting to join this club is foreshadowing her relationship with an aspiring director but I believe it’s simply coincidental) Miss H is back as Principal and she’s running a tight ship so the girls choose photo club instead. Sav and Anya scored film clubs last spots and engage in PDA whole KC arrives and he and Clare kiss as well. Alli is jealous cause Johnny is all no public touchy. Johnny just has other interests….. Like watching Bruce harass Connor….Clare just doesn’t know him like Alli does….

Alli and Johnny are making out in his car however it’s almost nine and he doesn’t want her to be late for her curfew. He’s trying to be respectful however she thinks he’s not into her. She comes home and her mom asks how studying at the library was and Alli wines saying it’s stupid. She then slumps in the living room puts on West Drive and calls up someone presumably Clare wining that she hates her life. Seriously Alli do you want some cheese to go with your wine….god.

8x05 Man With Two Hearts recap

Before you guys get too excited no….this isn’t about some mad man in a blue box who comes to Toronto and takes an unsuspecting female character on an epic journey through time and space though that would have been totally EPIC. Though this episode does kick off Riley’s character arch and plants the seeds for one of my favorite (non cannon) SLASH ships.

Speaking of…..Riley and Peter are going for a run. Peter trips and Riley helps him. Riley comments that if he has any guys then he’d go try out for cross country. They get back to school and Mia says she has some free time before a shoot and asks if Peter wants to walk her to set. He tells her no he’s going to go to the meeting and Riley comments about blowing off a hot model once Mia walks away. Peter comments about how he just got his heart stomped on by Darcy and doesn’t want to get involved (Spoilers he does and she leaves him for the CW too) Riley tells Peter he can relate and Peter nods asking if he has girl troubles too….. (Oh you can’t imagine)
