10x23/24 All Falls Down—RECAP

Here we are at the climax of the first of three ‘Summer Novella’s’ In case I didn’t mention what those were of if you simply forgot, from seasons 10-12 for 6,7, and 5 weeks respectively Degrassi aired new episodes nightly four days a week and story arcs became more serialized then episodic and even in the fall and spring arcs and into the present season where the summer format was changed back to a weekly one it has a more serialized ‘soapy’ feel at times then the seasons of yore…..anyway this episode marks a changing point at Degrassi and when it comes back in episode 25 you may not recognize the place which (Simpson even says that later on) But I’m getting ahead of myself.

Sav’s dressed as Elvis making a video PA announcement about the dance.

Alli is tutoring Drew who just knows he’s going to fail. They stop for a study break/make out session when Audra breaks them up. She comments how this is why he’s failing math and that if he focused on school and not girls maybe he’s be passing. She tells him how lucky he is because of the stink bomb and how he had an extra day for midterms. After Audra walks away Alli comments how Audra must think she’s some skank like Bianca. Drew says she just doesn’t like him sucking in school.

10x15/16 My Body Is a Cage|| RECAP

This is one of those episodes that I’ve partly been looking forward to re-watching and at the same time due to recent events in present cannon have equally been dreading. This is a huge Adam centric episode and the big revel of his character identifier.

It’s hours before school and Adam is complaining about the loud music blasting from Audra’s van. Drew says it’s to amp him for practice and Adam asks why he has to go to school early again. Audra comments how he can watch Drew but Adam just wants to be able to play sports or at least be in REAL PE and not recreations class. Audra comments how it’s a new year at a new school and Adam should just lie low. Adam comments about its High School and lying low is impossible and besides they are doing ballroom dancing which is just as bad as something that would be done in real PE. Audra is adamant about Adam going to recreation instead and tells him how his grandma is coming to town and it would be nice if ‘Gracie’ came to dinner. Drew goes to practice as Adam tells Audra that ‘Gracie’s’ gone and he’s not playing dress up.

10x07/08 Better off Alone|| RECAP

The episode opens up on action shots of the football team playing and from the crowd pans to Sav, Alli, and Clare on the side lines it’s presumably the same opening game from 99 problems. Jenna asks KC if she’s still mad at him (for taking his phone) and his mom calls out. It’s been three years and she wants to talk. Armstrong calls the team to go back on the bus and KC dismisses himself but his mom says the coach okayed it.

9x07/08 Beat It—RECAP

I hope this recap lives up to your expectations (and mine) because when I first did it I accidentally deleted my clipboard in the process of copying this from word to this site and so I have to re-re watch this one. On the plus side the episode isn’t a weak one but on the minus side it is a two parter so it’s twice the length. Since I’ve already seen it within the past 24 hours I can tell you ahead of time that this is an ABC two parter instead of an AB/AC one with plots centering around Riley, The Niners, and Anya…..

The episode opens at the pool (cause you know that here at Degrassi they got a hidden one LOL but seriously the outside facade shots for this pool are not the norm) Riley along with Chantey, Blue, and a few random characters (including one Mark ‘Fitz’ Fitzgerald but I think he’s played by a different actor) are taking lifeguard classes with some college student named Sam. Sam is telling Riley how he’s an athlete too and being a lifeguard last summer really helped him with his speed in the sports field.  Sam then practices mouth to mouth on a dummy and Riley gets really into it and he ends up getting a boner. Jumping into the water to hide it he tells them that he’s fine though everyone laughs at him.
