12x31/32 Bittersweet Symphony—RECAPS

Is it bad that I was prolonging getting to this episode….okay so fine my regular shows > my recaps and I’ve been working allot of nights the past few weeks but still……anyway I’m sure I’m going to shed a tear or two and won’t be offended if you guys do as well…..

Schools back after spring break and Dallas feels optimistic about things telling Campbell how he nailed it after his first playoff back and after all their setbacks they apparently still have a shot at finals. He spots Drew and calls him a drop out however Drew’s re-enrolled part time. Maya then greets Campbell who tells her home was great but he missed her.

Fiona is sorting the students for spirit week….there will be various contests for the week and the team with the most points will get a pizza party. Man Degrassi must be a small school if this is a cumulative thing and not a grade thing….though why not just make each grade a team….I guess it’s the rules of drama.

Campbell asks Maya if she and Tori are back on speaking terms however she deflects saying she missed him. Fiona gives the duo their bandanas and Campbell is on the red team with Dallas and Maya’s on the green team….with Zig. Tori and Tristan pass by commenting about how Zig and Maya just happen to be on the same team however Campbell vows to try to get on the green team too cause nobody and nothing can tear them apart.

12x29/30 Las Vegas—RECAP

This episode was a one-off filler episode between the second and third block and was a nice stand-alone episode that took place over spring break. This is the third time if I’m not mistaken that there has been a Spring Break two parter….the other two times I can recall are Bust A Move (AKA Degrassi Spring Break) in season 7 and Spring Fever (Aka Boom Boom Pow) as the season eleven opener.

This episode opens as Fiona is orchestrating a rehearsal dinner of sorts with Drew and Bianca. Imogen and Adam are also there but are too preoccupied playing video games. Bianca asks Drew if he’s ready and he says he just has to get his suit….but there are two extra tickets and a part of him wants to invite his parents despite not approving of things…..um why didn’t you offer Owen or Dallas those tickets Drew….hmm….just saying.

12x27x28 Tonight Tonight RECAP

This will most likely be my last episode that I’m re-capping via DVR as according to amazon I shall be getting my DVD’s tomorrow (and by the time this posts I’m sure I’ll have devoured all the glorious extra content) Anyway this episode was a weird one as it actually aired in the US a few days before Canada and it aired as a double episode (though it was touted as a two part season {fall} finale and not a movie/special) since in the US for some reason they’ve never aired Degrassi on ‘Black Friday’ and they decided to air it on Tuesday instead.  

Adam arrives at the mall just in time because Bullfrog is about to announce the contenders for the Battle of the Bands….you mean they were stressing all about it way back in Building a Mystery and WhisperHug hadn’t even been given a slot in it? It’s announced they get in as Imogen comments a girl is checking out Adam….Adam teases that no she’s checking out her. No Imogen’s right and the girl slips Adam her number asking him to ‘Call her Maybe’. Meanwhile Maya points out that the past four winners of the competition won with covers and they should do the ‘Superman’ song. Mo says to not say their ideas out loud for fear of them getting stolen.

12x25/26 I Want It That Way—RECAP

With an episode title being a Backstreet Boys song I expected nothing short of it being an Alli sub-plot even before the sub plots came out since Mindy is a self-proclaimed Backstreet Boys super fan.

The episode begins as Alli is toiling over her double coarse load turning down a photo of her and Dave that’s sitting on her desk as her parents come into her room arguing about who should tell Alli some kind of news. Jenna yawns commenting it’s early but the Bhandari’s say it’s never too early for a Surprise. Alli’s been working so hard to graduate early that her parents want to make her life a bit easy.

She pulls up to school with a new car and Clare is excited and comments about all the places that they can go…. Like art galleries and museums. Jenna comments that they should go to places a bit funner but Alli has no time for fun whether it be Jenna’s brand or Clare’s. Clare asks if she’s still going to the Jay-Z concert that she planned to go with along with Clare, Eli, and Dave and yea the thought that Eli is a Jay-Z fan still boggles my mind too. Jenna offers to takes Dave’s ticket however Alli still wants to go with him….that is if she can afford the time off.

12x23/24: Doll Parts RECAP:

We’re at another milestone of an episode….that’s right we’re on episode 300. 300! Yea that’s a lot and there is still plenty more to come.

This momentous episode opens as Maya is sitting on Campbell’s bed playing guitar and working on a song while Campbell is working on a math assignment and not paying attention to her. She asks his opinion however he says he needs to focus on studying. Maya is put off….. They’ve been together for a month and have only kissed six times. He kisses her a seventh and says how with his arm and this test it’s hard to get in the mood. Maya then removes her shirt revealing her sports bra and taking Campbell for a loop. He comments saying what if his ‘billet mom’ walked in on them and she puts back on her shirt and leaves because clearly school is more important.

12x13/14 Rusty Cage RECAP

And cue the water works because two of the three subplots of this episode are totally on the emotional side of things.

The episode opens in the locker room as the older jocks are hazing Campbell some more. Its game day and they start teasing him about his skates and his lucky boxers and the puck bunnies that are just wanting him to give them the time of day. A delivery of balloons come and they comment how Campbell was holding out on them however the delivery is from his mom or at least that’s what he says. We then are met with some action shots in the rink of the Ice Hounds playing and Campbell gets pushed down.

12x07/08 Say It Ain’t So—RECAP

Alli’s in the science lab after school as Dave sneaks in to visit her. He starts making out with her telling her that his play rehearsal got out early. She tells him how Simpson gave her after school lab access to do research and not make out. Dave’s got a case of blue balls though since it’s been five days since the last time they hooked up…..weather this means it’s been five days since last episode or they were at it multiple times remains to be seen. They start making out however a small chemical fire ends up breaking out. Alli kicks Dave out to lessen the trouble she’ll be in for it.

12x03/04 Walking On Broken Glass

AKA Gives You Hell….I don’t know if it was a working title or if it went by this name in Canada….anyway in fitting with the Novella format this episodes plots flow right from the last and it’s rather interesting cause the continuation of the Katie/Drew plot is mostly from Katie’s POV in part one and Drew’s in part two which is interesting in its own right.

Council is getting ready to plan the ice hound pep rally as Katie comes to the meeting late. Marisol asks if she’s up for it and she says yes she’s president and she’s ready to take the job back from Marisol and asks for the team to catch her up. She says they should get a sizzle real and show footage of the team. Mo comments how it should be easy since Dallas is with Drew. Marisol reminds him of the break up and he apologizes but it’s too late as Katie starts to ugly cry because it just hurts so much.
