So now we’re at the opener of the final televised arch of the series  meaning there are 12 more episodes + the ‘don’t look back’ TV movie that sets the stage for the Netflix next class continuation

Jack and Imogen are making out in front of the school and Becky comments about how it’s too early for PDA however it’s only a few weeks till graduation and Imogen wants to make it count…plus the fact that Jack has detention afterschool till the end of the year which Becky points out she deserved due to the Degrassi nudes issue. They comment how they hadn’t seen Becky all during the extra break they got while the fire damage was repaired and she says that she was with Jonah they were just writing songs…okay sure, she has a crush but she just broke up with Drew and it’s complicated. Jonah appears and Imogen and Jack make goo goo eyes at him. The quad go into the school as Drew and Clare collect cellphones which are no longer allowed on school property . Clare and Drew inform the group that security cameras are also being installed as part of the new principal’s crackdown…hey at least no uniforms this time right….Simpson has been put on leave and we meet Miss Pill who wants to make the school a safe space and says she is banning any and all PDA.  Jack says this is all 1984 ‘Big Brother’ crazy while I’m getting total Umbrage vibes. Pill says all extra-curricular must be approved by her and council and Imogen is upset her final days at Degrassi are under a factious regime. Becky says rules are important and walks off while Jack and Imogen candidly call out Becky’s feelings for Drew and Jonah between themselves.
