9x09 Waiting For a Girl Like You--recap

While initially packaged in the states an hour long special event called Love Games (not to be confused with the later episode titled Love Game) and marketed as a Valentine’s Day special much like season eights Lost In Love I’ll be recapping these as two solo episodes….though you’ll be surprised that there is enough plot continuity that’s going to make you way why didn’t they make this a 2 part

Holly J is passing out adds for a matchmaker service with all proceeds going into financing the school play which is apparently a full on production and not just a workshop like it made you seem it was going to be. Declan comments to Holly J how he booked the music atrium after school on Friday  and she politely informs him she’s changed his time to lunch since she gets final say with bookings being the president and all. Declan teases asking if this is a dictator ship and Holly J says if you come after school you’ll be double booked with the steel drum band. Holly J walks away and Declan smarmily comments that she’s a girl worth fighting for. Sav casually approaches asking if Declan has health insurance.

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.

9x06 Wanna Be Starting Something—Recap

Holly J is gushing to Leia about some sale at the mall. Leia tells her she can’t cause Sav and Anya had a fight. Holly J rolls her eyes saying he’s going to apologize any moment and like clockwork Sav shows up singing the ‘Anya’ song. Holly J asks if they can still go to the mall cause she’s been saving up her paychecks for weeks but the two couples are now going to go for Ice Cream. Holly J can be a third when but it’s two for one cones so….

WHATEVER IT TAKES (so the titles are back to the seasons 3-5 format though the backtrack vocals are new. The opening includes 8 new characters, Clare (though she was technically introduced back in season 6), Alli, Connor, KC, Kelly, Blue, Leia, and Riley as well as three minor characters bumped up to titles (Bruce, Johnny, and Chantey) All the graduates  sans Emma, Liberty, Manny and Spinner are gone as well as Christine (Emma’s mom) and Darcy.
