Degrassi Junior High Episodes:
Season #1
1. Kiss Me Steph-
The
classic first episode ever! (not counting the kids of Degrassi street.
Just
the
fact that this is the first episode makes this an instant classic.. so
everyone should know this
episode
like the back of their hand. Stephanie Kaye.. the legend (and name sake
of this episode)
returns
from some trip.. gives Voula a nice present (a bracelet), and proceeds
to strip and turn into
hooker-mode.
Voula is shocked! (I guess that Steph was different the year before). Joey
greets
Arthur
(because he is the chairman of the welcoming committee) and instead of
taking him to Miss
Avery's
class decides to lock him in the janitor's room (Joey has help from some
guy that will never
been
seen in Degrassi again..). Stephanie and Voula decide that it would be
good to run for school
president,
Voula does all the work.. Stephanie does nothing. Check out Snake in the
background of
this
episode! He is wearing an Iron Maiden shirt.. coooool. Yick lets Arthur
out of the janitor room,
and
their friendship begins. This episode is also JAM PACKED with screwups.
Just before Arthur
and
Yick arrive late for Miss Avery's class, she takes rollcall.. first of
all the room is for grade 7's,
and
one of the twins is clearly visible. "Stacy Farrell"? who the hell is that?
But Erica says "here"
so..
I guess back then her name was Stacy. Also during next class (Mr. Raditch)
guess who is
sitting
in front of Stephanie... why its LIZ! (she comes later on in the year as
a "new" student..
weird").
Back to the episode, well during the campaign stuff.. Stephanie gives out
kisses for votes,
Snake
is in the background jamming on his guitar saying "Vote for me!" or something..
at first its a
guitar
and bass, but later on drums and stuff come in (wow.. snake is talented,
playing all those
instruments
through his one guitar). Stephanie thanks Joey over Voula.. and this makes
her upset.
Stephanie
and Arthur make up at the end of this episode as they walk towards their
seperate
homes
(at the start she said she didnt want to talk to him)
2. The Big Dance-
Stephanie
and Voula continue their feud from the past episode, and we see
that
a big dance is being planned for Degrassi (the annual Degrassi fall dance).
The school is
supporting
a foster child and they all want to get some money to pay for the foster
childs braces..
so
the class decides that everyone will pay one dollar to get into the dance,
then the cheque will be
presented
at the dance (by Voula.. but she cant go to the dance! her dad wont let
her). Lucy shares
her
wisdom of "raising parents" and this gives Voula a little backbone.. Joey
who was bragging to
Wheels
about going to the dance with Stephanie, turns out that Stephanie actually
wants to go out
with
Wheels instead.. Steph asks Wheels out, and poor Joey gets all sad. The
twins and Steph all
go
over to Lucys before the dance, and get loaded (they drink all of the booze)..
Stephanie gets
totally
blitzed and ends up barfing at the dance.. strangely enough the twins encourage
Steph to
drink!
(wow bad seeds they are). Voula is about to present the cheque for the
foster kids new Nike's
when
her father comes in! OHHNOO! she gets in deep shit
3. The Experiment-
Raditch
really sticks it to Yick in this episode.. I believe that he is a little
too
cruel
to Mr. Yu the disorganized (Yick thinks he gets picked on too much also).
Arthur tries out for
the
basketball team.. but he really really sucks ass (he cant even hit the
hoop!).. Shane and the rest
of
the cool kids call poor Arthur "Artie Smartie". Yick is really good at
basketball, but not so hot at
school..
so they decide that Arthur will help Yick with school, if Yick helps Arthur
with school.
Melanie
and Kathleen are shown to be friends (the first episode really) and Melanie
talks about how
she
is sad that junior high doesnt have drugs and other such fun things.. she
says that she wants to
try
drugs (ooh). Arthur and Yick also decide to conduct an experiment.. using
Arthur sister
(Stephanie)
who got a good mark, Yick will take that paper and hand it in, seeing what
kinda mark
Raditch
will give him based on who he is alone. Joey overhears Melanie talking
about drugs, so he
decides
to sell the girls drugs that are really just "vitamins". The girls pretend
to get high for some
retarded
reason.. and cause a ruckus in the school. Soon after the 2 get "stoned"
off the vitamins..
more
kids want to get stoned, including the no named Wheelchair chick (no not
Maya). All of the
druggie
kids hear Joey bragging about how he sold them vitamins, and they get mad..
demanding
their
money back. Yick gets in trouble for stealing Stephs paper (and making
Mr. Raditch out to look
like
a Narbo), but after a detention Yick gets a good mark on some project.
4. The CoverUp-
Joey
needs a jean jacket for the school pictures because his old one was
destroyed
by his mommy. Rick overhears this and asks Joey if he wants to buy his
old jean jacket
for
10 bucks. Sure! says Joey and they go over to Ricks house ("Great place
man" Joey says..
what
a liar!) Ricks dad likes to beat Rick up.. and when he arrives home that
is exactly what he
does..
Joey runs out of the place all shocked. Rick shows up at school all bruised,
and Joey tells his
best
friend of all of 2 episodes Tim about knowing someone who gets beaten up
by his dad. Joey
then
tells Doris Bell that he knows someone getting beaten by his dad, and this
makes Doris think
that
the someone Joey knows is infact JOey! the horror! So Doris that crazy
old bag calls the social
worker
and tattletails on Joeys parents. Upon arriving at Joeys house with Rick
(who has come to
collect
his money for the jean jacket) the social worker who looks like an 80's
Duran Duran reject
sees
that the person he is really looking for is really Rick. Rick gets all
tough, I guess he thinks he is
tough
because of that "cool" bicycle he rides.. but anyways the social worker
says he wants to help
Rick,
and finally Rick agrees. The end
5. The Great Race-
This
certainly is one of the most entertaining Degrassi episodes ever made.
Melanie
who is facing a problem that every girl faces one time in her life (she
has no boobs) is
checking
herself out in the mirror to see how much cleavage she has. L.D tells her
that she looks
fine
(and even goes as far as saying that Melanie needs a bra!) so the 2 go
shopping for bras and
are
obviously high because they are laughing and having a great time shopping
for bras (its so
much
fun to shop for bras!). Meanwhile the girls swimteam with their race and
get to the school
finals..
everyone is excited about the girls winning the championship.. except for
all of the boys at
Degrassi
Junior High. The girls are pissed that the sports rep for DJH Jason Cox
(a guy who was in
a few
episodes then was abducted) wont accept the fact that girls are good at
sports too. The boys
and
girls decide to have a swimming race to decide who is the best.. but the
boys need some help!
they
ask Snake to join the swim team (even though to qualify for the boys swim
team you have to
be
apart of the boys soccer team for some retarded reason). The boys all make
fun of Melanie
because
of her new and strangely stuffed wonderbra.. even resident bad seed Alex
Yankou pulls on
the
back of her bra strap. This is also the first episode that Melanie expresses
her true feelings for
Snake
(she says that she likes him..tee hee). The girls end up not having Melanie
race for them
because
she is upset about her breasts being small in a bathing suit.. but then
she decides to
swim,
and Joey makes fun of her.. L.D then throws Joey in the water for making
fun. The girls win
the
swim meet.. horray!.
6. Rumor Has It-
This
has to be one of the first on screen references to lesbianism I had ever
seen
in my life (not counting the magical videos I watched at my cousin Ben's
house..)It starts out
with
Caitlin having a very erotic dream about Miss Avery.. Caitlin sits on Avery's
lap and soaks up
the
compliments of writing a very good paper on aboriginal mating habits(or
something), and then
she
wakes up all hot and covered with sweat.. saying "NO" (but did she really
mean yes?) Back at
Degrassi
some girls (Kathleen, Melanie, Susie, and some no name chick who only appeared
in this
episode)
are talking about how Miss Avery is a lesbian, and how its bad. Caitlin
defends Miss Avery,
but
the girls evidence is overwhelming (Miss Avery holds hands on the street
with another woman!
oooh).
The dreams continue for Caitlin, the entire class calls her a dyke.. lezzie..
homosexual (you
name
it.. ) and Caitlin begins to think that something is seriously wrong with
her. Meanwhile Yick
looses
20 bucks that he needed to buy sneakers with (wow.. talk about el cheepie
brand).. and
Arthur
suddenly thinks that since he did a project on crime prevention that he
can be a private
investigator
(ahh to be young and retarded again..) Sherlock Arthur deduces that Rick
the resident
bad
seed stole the money.. due to his previous thefts. Turns out that Rick
won the lottery (kids cant
gamble..
but this is Degrassi remember) and instead of buying something cool (like
a decent bike or
hair
cut) Rick spends all his money of Licorice! .. first of all, who the hell
eats licorice, and second
of
all why give out a piece to every kid at Degrassi!? Well hes a nice seed,
but Arthur and Yick think
that
buy throwing away the free Licorice its a sign of guilt. At the end Yick
finds out that his 20 bucks
was
buried all along under some old homework. Miss Avery talks to Caitlin and
makes her feel
better..
she is no longer a lesbian (Caitlin that is..)
7. The Best Laid Plans-
8. Nothing to Fear-
9. What A Night!-
10. Smokescreen-
This
episode is about POLLUTION. As we all know, there is a massive
pollution
making factory right down the road from Degrassi (no there isnt), but in
the Degrassi world
its
there. Basically the Degrassi enviornmental team meets after school all
the time to discuss
amongst
other things the Enviornment. Rick the bad seed decides to join the team
because he
cares..
Kathleen gives him a real hard time, but Ricky doesnt mind. Caitlin and
Rick get together to
work
on a project to advertise the enviornment club to Degrassi.. but how will
they get their
message
across? Oh I know.. how about a really horrible 80's rap. How can we make
this even
worse?
Why not pass the mic to a teenage white girl named Caitlin. Sad. And finally
what could
make
this already sad plot sadder? The fact that when the rap is played over
the school PA system
the
students get into it.. they love it! Joey can be seen grooving to the pathetic
beats. For shame.
The
other story in this episode is that of Yick. All the kids have to do a
presentation on something
they
know.. Yick knows nothing, and no one would be interested in hearing about
his family since
they
are all boat people immigrints. So what does he do? Well he finds a Vase
that looks like its
Chinese
and really old.. he passes it off as just that, and Arthur buys it. When
returning his school
pants
(or something) Yick leaves his bag unattended with Arthur in a class room..
Artie knocks the
bag
to the floor and the vase breaks. OH NO. Arthur spends the rest of the
episode hiding it away
from
Yick.. saying its being appraised for its value. Yick knows its worth nothing.
Arthur thinks its
worth
alot. Its ironic! Finally the truth comes out, because Arthur cant fix
the busted vase. Yick tells
him
its really not worth anything. "You broom head" curses Arthur. Yick tells
him to watch his
mouth..
there are children around. Meanwhile, Caitlin and Rick get a petition together
to end the
pollution
, and take it to the nearby factory. ITs neat to see how they did this..
the shots i mean..
since
there isnt a factory near Degrassi. Anyways, the guy inside the factory
is less than helpful and
talks
down at the children making Rick really mad. In the end nothing changes..
ahh to be young
again
and think that a piece of paper with 50 badly signed names can do diddly
squat.
11. It's Late!-
Whats
late? Wheels pizza? Michelle's parents getting home from work? NO.
Spikes
period! Anyone with a girlfriend knows the fun it is when you reach the
end of the month and
she
hasnt gotten her period yet... most guys anyway. One guy that didnt is
Shane. Spikes giving
everyone
attitude because of her missing monthly friend.. and Shane takes it personally.
"I thought
we
were going steady" says Shane. Spike tells him the truth and Shane actually
gives an accurate
performance
to a guys reaction to the comment "I think im going to have a baby", he
backs away
slowly,
making faces of disbelief. Heather and Erica lend their support to Spike...
Erica tells Spike
that
its impossible to get pregnant the first time, Heather tells her sister
that she is an idiot..but idiot
or
not, the sisters take Spike to get a pregnancy test from Shoppers Drug
Mart (a very awesome
drug
store). Previously, Spike overheard her mother and some friends talking
about how silly it is to
get
pregnant when you are young (or something), so Spike is obviously dead
when she tells her
mother.
Anyway, she comes home with the pregnancy test kit in a bag (why wouldnt
you put it in
your
backpack you dumbass if you didnt want to get caught?) Her mother demands
to know what
she
is carrying, and after some crying Spike finally shows her mother... "You
didnt" her mother
wispers.
Oh she did, and with Shane! I dont know what I would be more upset with.
I guess Shane
didnt
pull out in time. Meanwhile, Yick wants to ask Melanie out.. but how does
will he do it? read a
book?
watch a film? how about ask the stud with the plan: Arthur. Arthur gives
Yick lots of ideas..
ask
her out after a compliment: your eyes are as blue as swimming pools. Yick
that crazy immigrint
messes
up and says "pimming swools". Next give her flowers: she is alergic to
them. Finally he just
asks
her and they go have a great time ice skating. Spike is pregnant. Shane
looks very knoble, but
he
isnt. Man hes only what.. 13 years old? I was worried about my braces back
then, but at least
Shane
knows "his boys can swim"
12. Parents' Night-
Wheels
might get molested. Thats what we are led to believe at the start of
this
episode.. but its really just Mike, Wheels biological father who is back
after 13 years of playing
in
a local rock band "Mike and the Penile Acne Poppers" (or something). The
conflict between
Shane
and Spike gets critical and they break up (hey did you forget that she
has your fetus Shane?)
Spike
thinks about what she can do.. she could give it away.. she could get an
abortion.. she could
have
it. We find out that Shane is pro-life, even though he is dumping her and
doenst have to give
birth
he thinks he still has the right to an opinion. The Zit Remedy still in
its infancy talks about
names
for the band.. Snake and the charmers? Joey and the JoyBuzzers. Wheels
is the middle
man..
he doesnt really care, he just wants to jam. Outside his school, Mike confronts
Wheels about
who
he really is. Wheels has just had his hand cut off, and is standing on
the edge of a small
platform..
below him.. a dark pit. Mike says "Your parents never told you the truth..
I am your father"
Wheels:
"No thats not true.. thats impossible.." Anyway, Wheels believes Mike and
takes his phone
number,
later they get together.. but Wheels gets pissed off at him for saying
"hey this is my kid".
Well
its true wheels, take a chill pill. The 2 agree to not talk to eachother
for "a bit".
13. Revolution!-
Season 2
14.Eggbert-
Spike
takes some classes that teach her how to care for a baby, and what better
way
to
illustrate this point than to take care of an egg for a week. Spike lets
Shane take care of the egg
for
a while (so she can go to a party) and Shane decides that he wants to go
to the party also and
brings
the egg. At the party Shane whips the egg around and has a gay ole' time..
Spike gets pissed
off,
and breaks the egg in anger (ooo).

25. He's Back-
Who
is back you say? The arm touching molester Mr. Colby!. Lucy starts having
nightmares
of having her arm touched.. its very troubling you see, because when your
arm is
touched..
it is worse that your private parts. I think if Degrassi wanted to REALLY
get the point
across
of girls being molested they should've actually did something a little
more "normal" of
molesters..
but lets be frank, Mr. Colby only touched Lucy and Susies arms.. I agree
that he is a
bastard,
but they should've done a little more. Susie gets her necked touched also,
and in the end
Lucy,
Wheels (who does nothing in this episode) L.D, and Susie all band together
and tell Mr.
Lawrence
what happened. Colby however already skipped town.. perhaps knowing the
shit was
about
to hit the fan
26. Pass Tense-
Season 3
27.Can't Live With 'Em (Part 1)-
28. Can't Live With 'Em (Part 2)-
Part
two of this sad episode. Wheels parents are dead, and
the
episode begins with basically the entire class attending the funeral (Raditch
said it was for close
personal
friends only..). Joey tries to call Wheels over the weekend to apologize..
Wheels doesnt let
him.
The Grandparents want Derek to move in with them, get a social worker,
and allow them to
boss
him around. Lucy begins her adventures with Paul (you know the nerdy black
guy). Lucy
shafts
L.D (they were supposed to go to the movies together). Wheels come back
to school and
gets
mad at Joey and beats him up (as well as breaking the Zit remedy demo tape).
Kathleen shafts
Melanie
due to Kathleens over zealous presidential campaign. Shane begins to pay
Spike baby
money
(or whatever its called).. ohh 5 bucks every now and then.. that should
get Emma into
college.
29. A Big Girl Now-
Lucy
and L.D talk about what it would be like to have sex, and L.D reminds
Lucy
not to forget her mystical soccer game. Lucys relationship with Paul the
nerd black guy
hightens..
Joey and Wheels talk about his feelings, and Wheels quits the band. Snake
is still having
problems
saying a word to his "friend" Wheels. Kathleen loses the election against
Nancy Kramer
(thus
becoming vice president).. Alex yankou becomes the school treasurer, and
I think Luke
becomes
Sports guy. Lucy shafts all her friends by saying she has to go to her
grandmas house to
mow
the lawn.. when really she is having a party at her OWN house!. Snake finally
says that he is
sorry
to Wheels near the end of this episode,and they go to have some fries.
At Lucys party Paul
puts
the moves on Lucy, but she doesnt allow him to hump.. Paul lies to everyone
saying he had
sex
with Lucy, and we all know this is a fib. At Degrassi everyone "knows"
that Lucy and Paul did it..
so
the rumor spread evvverywhere.
30. Season's Greetings-
This
has to be one of the cheapest Degrassi episodes ever made.
This
is one of the episodes that I had never ever seen until I saw it on Showcase.
Arthur and Yick
exchange
gifts at lunch time.. and Yick says Arthur is rich, thus pissing Artie
off and they begin the
episode
long fight. Louella? the lesbian-esque janitor is having problems fixing
the Degrassi
furnace..
everyone is boiling hot. Arthur cousin Dorothy tries to patch shit up between
the 2 buds,
and
in the end finally succeeds. Spike brings her newly hatched baby in to
visit everyone in the
school,
Shane doenst know what to feel.. Joey invites Wheels and his family (just
the grandparents)
to
Christmas dinner. The rest of the episode revolves around Arthur and Yick
flashbacks of their old
adventures..
rehashing old material to cover up the fact that this is a losey episode.
31. Loves Me, Loves Me Not-
The
Zit remedy attempt to sell their brand new album.. complete
with
1 song, and flash packaging. Caitlin attempts to win over Joeys heart by
picking up a copy of
the
tape. Joey and Caitlin have to work on a project together doing a film
review, and they go to see
Teen
Academy IV.. they both get A's on the project. Michelle and Alexa talk
about wanting BLT's
pants
or something.. and they decide that it would be cool if the four of them
all went and had a
picnic
together (Blt, Simon,alexa.. etc), but instead of helping Michelle out
with her love for BLT she
goes
for BLT and this makes Michelle see red. A dance happens and Joey says
he will "see" Caitlin
at
the dance..so she thinks its basically a date, but it isnt and Joey has
no interest in the lovely
Caitlin.
She leaves early crying (aww) and breaks the Zit remedy tape in anger.
32. He Ain't Heavy..-
This
episode's title is really retarded, I dont understand what it supposed
to
mean.
Is Snakes brother fat? no.. are they talking about Nuclear water? No..
so whats the deal? No
idea!.
Snake starts the episode in a class where Mr. Garcia (you know the fat
black guy) is showing
the
class how easy it is to get aids.. so Snake has aids in the class and everyone
starts calling him
a homo.
Snake would rather play basketball over doing the Zit Remedy thing (for
shame). Joey
decides
to take the tape to a radio station called C-RAZ (crazy.. how witty) in
hopes of them playing
the
album and making them famous.. it doesnt work, and Joey instead gets a
job as a janitor at the
station.
Snakes long lost brother Glenn stops by for a visit while the guys are
playing basketball with
their
shirts off (this will come into play later why he was smiling so much).
Glenn has come to tell
the
parents of Snake a big secret.. he is a homo (err gay), Snake is crushed;
his cool brother! how
could
he be "one of those guys"?. Since his brother is gay, Snake doesnt take
the shit about having
aids/being
gay at school very well.. so he starts fights, and gets angry with everyone.
His brother
Glenn
is no longer considered a son anymore, and leaves in a huff.. Snake feels
bad and says
sorry.
Lucy who had been the butt of rumors about having sex with Paul finally
confronts him and
makes
him say they didnt pork.. LD is thankful
33. The Whole Truth-
The
poor monkey! Liz somehow becomes an expert in animal rights, and
knows
all kinds of crap about protests. She enlists the talents of Caitlin to
the cause of animal
rights,
and specifically testing on monkeys. No one believes that Joey will get
the tape played on
C-Raz
radio, or that he works there (little do they know that he does work there..
cleaning the
toilets).
Caitlin becomes really obsessed with the animal crap, and wants to write
an article in the
digest
telling everyone all about the horrors of monkey tests... after doing some
research she finds
out
that the whole truth behind animal rights isnt as simple as she thought
it would be. Without
animal
rights she would have problems with Epilepsy still.. so she decides not
to go "ape" of the
money
issue like Liz wanted her too.
34.
Star-Crossed-After breaking up with Paul in the last episode, Lucy is still
being persued him..
he
doesnt get the point. Clutch tells him that "chicks are a dime a dozen".
In a galaxy far far away
Erica
and Heather read up on astrology and find out that they will get some loving
because its a full
moon
or something. Erica decides she wants to go out with Clutch because his
car is so sparkly
and
shiny. CLutch hears about this and thinks that Heather was the one who
asked him out.. so
they
decide to go bowling. Erica gets pissed off at her sister and even calls
her a "witch!" The make
up
a plan about how they can switch (Clutch isnt a dummy, he can see that
one has bad teeth and
one
doesnt). Erica has a dentist appointment! trouble? NO! Erica starts the
date.. Heather takes
over
in between.. then Erica comes back and finishes the date. Wheels and Snake
are walking
through
Borden high and someone says "why dont you go have tea with your mom" and
this makes
Wheels
pissed off because his mom is dead. He charges the guy and gets sent to
the principals
office.
At the date between Clutch and Erica, Clutch kinda falls for Lucy.. and
the two hit it off big
time.
No love for Erica
35.
Food For Thought- Kathleen is such a fat ass isnt she? Well that is what
she thinks, so she
goes
on a crash diet: walking really fast to burn calories, eating no food,
and barfing up all that
fattening
bile!. Alexa thinks she is fat also, so she goes on a diet also. Erica
and Heather are doing
a project
at the science fair on "Anorexia", so they are the experts on food and
not eating. While at
Kathleen's
house (with the drunken freak mother) Melanie reads Kathleen's diary and
sees all the
crap
about "I must not eat, I must barf, I must do exercise!". Caitlin while
walking with Melanie
mutters
something about Kathleen "Shes the wicked witch of Degrassi" MEOW! cat
fight!. At the
science
fair Melanie and Kathleen's project on the ozone layer gets 4th place,
and Kathleen is so
crushed
that she passes out. Miss Avery gives her mouth to mouth and a faint smile
can be seen
on
Kathleen's face.. no just kidding, but she has a problem..Melanie was only
trying to help her out,
but
instead Kathleen "hates" Melanie (that lasts about one minute).
36.
Twenty Bucks- Melanie gets her braces off and to celebrate this big occasion
she throws a
pizza
party blowing her 20 bucks on the food. BLT bets Joey that he cant get
a date by Friday night,
Joey
bets him.. and then finds out that he is supposed to wait in line for Gormet
Scum with Snake
on
Friday night. Snake wants to ask Melanie Brodie (noochie noochies) to go
with him to the
Gormet
Scum concert.. only she has to pay for her own ticket (trouble.. she is
broke!). None of
Melanie's
friends want to lend her the money because she never pays them back, so
Melanie steals
20
bucks from her loving mother (what a bad apple). Joey spends the rest of
the episode asking
every
available mama at Degrassi if they want to go out with him (so he can win
the bet), his last
mama
is the greatest mama of all time.. Caitlin! (she accepts). Melanie feels
bad about stealing the
20
bucks because her mom cant by tampons now (or something), so she comes
clean and gets
grounded
forever. She tells Snake that she cant go to the concert, and overhears
that Spike wants
to
go to the concert except that its sold out... Melanie sells Spike the ticket
and everyone is happy..
oh
what about Joey and Caitlin? Well Joey wins the bet, but Caitlin finds
out that she was part of the
plan,
and pours some coke on him. He says he is sorry and she accepts (aww).
37.
Taking Off (Part 1)- I dont actually have this episode on tape yet (cause
I forgot to tape it ok!)
but
I do have part 2 on tape, and at the start of said episode it has a summary
of part 1, so that is
what
I will go on because my memory on it is a little fuzzy. Luke and Shane
drop acid, and Shane
drops
off a bridge. Wheels decides he is going to see his birth dad (rock and
roll Mike) in Port
Hope..
the reason behind this? Mike sent Wheels a postcard saying that he was
playing some
shows
there.. and having alot of groupies, so many groupies that he needed some
extra guys to
take
advantage of the chicks.. so Wheels hitchhikes up north and is picked up
by an official homo,
who
"feels up" Wheels by touching his legs..Wheels jumps out and gets a rock
ready to strike if the
homo
tries anything more, he doesnt. Wheels arives in Port Hope. Luke is questioned
by the cops
about
the disappearance of Shane Mckay.
38.
Taking Off (Part 2)- "He doesnt do that stuff, I dont know anyone who does
that stuff" -Luke.
What
a bad liar that Luke is.. did you see the face he was making? What a horrible
liar, and to lie to
a police
man! biggg trouble Luke. Wheels's grandma is on the prowl in this episode..
what an
annoying
old bag! She hassles the hell out of Snake (crying on the phone) pleading
for him to tell
where
Wheels has gone too, and she also does the same thing to Joey. Joey however
cracks
under
the pressure when the old battleax comes in to Degrassi and asks him where
he is "Please
Joey..
he is my only grandchild..please" Damn! I wouldve told her to go massage
the grandpa.
When
Wheels arives at Port Hope, he dreams about how his dad will greet him
"Wheels you still
play
bass? maybe you can be in our band!". But when his dad greets him in real
life it is less than
what
he imagined. Turns out that Mike the biological dad has a girlfriend who
is pregnant! but this
time
he is going to keep the baby (this makes Wheels feel like crap), again
Mike refers to Wheels
as
"thats Derek.. my kid" Personally I hate when people refer to their children
as "kids" it just sounds
wrong,
but on with the episode summery. Luke is again hassled by the damn pigs
(cops) and this
time
he cant keep his bad lying face up.. he cracks and tells the cops that
"maybe he did some
acid"
when it was all Lukes fault (what a bad apple). Mike the rock and roll
dad makes Wheels call
his
grandparents to tell them he is alright, but Mike doesnt want Wheels around..
and Mikes
girlfriend
doesn't want him around either. After Joey spills the beans about Wheels,
the grandma
comes
to Port hope and drags him away..Wheels comes back to school and thats
all.

Black & White- See this was another episode I had never seen until
it came to Showcase.
Too
bad for me, when this episode aired Showcase was having a bad day.. and
the first 3 mins of
the
version I saw got all eaten up by the Showcase VCR. From what I can gather
BLT was walking
around
in Borden high with his main squeeze Michelle when some bad seed calls
BLT a "n-word" if
you
know what I mean. BLT gets in a fight, and is then taken away by some teacher..
and gets a
warning
"Next time I get suspended". BLT asks Michelle to the dance, but Michelle's
racist parents
wont
let her go.. sighting that she is too young or something. One of the strange
things about this
episode
is this: Who the hell is playing Michelle's dad? he looks like he is 80
years old! and whats
with
calling BLT "colored" wasn't that term used back in the 20's? Well I guess
this is when the guy
playing
Michelle's father was young. In keeping with the discrimination theme of
this show, Spike is
finally
getting a job, and when she arrives at the place where her job is the guy
makes fun of her hair
(what
do you do to get that kinda hair.. stick your finger in an electrical socket?),
then saying she is
too
late and cannot have the job, Spike gets mad and storms out of the place.
Liz the crazy punker
calls
him a pig and then says "Im gonna come back here later tonight and throw
a rock through his
window"
This made me laugh.. way to go Liz!.

Pa-arty!- A party at Degrassi? you betcha! This time Alexa is having a
big party and everyone
is
going. The grade 8's (Melanie, Kathleen etc..) want to go, but they are
not invited. Joey gets a
fake
I.D for 5 bucks ("it looks fake" says Wheels) conceive a plan with Snake
and Wheels to get
some
beer for Alexa's big shindig, but then Alexas parents wreck everything
by not allowing her to
party..
Lucy saves the day by inviting everyone over to her house (her parents
are away again..), but
since
she doesnt want to be around Clutch alone (because he gets wacky when he
is drunk) she
tells
him that a) there is no party and b) she wants to study instead of going
with him. Snake is
enlisted
to buy the beer because he looks older. Joey puts a hat on him, and an
overcoat and tells
him
to go get some brewskies, but he fails. The dudes then spend the next part
of the episode
begging
people off the street to buy them beer. Finally Joey asks Clutch who somehow
can get
beer
because his I.D is better, and for the "buying" fee, Clutch takes 6 or
12.. I forget. While walking
to
the party the dudes get a little thirsty and kick back and drink some of
the brew, just as things
cant
get any better they get worse.. COPS FIND THEM! and they get in deep shit.
CLutch gets
drunk,
and hears about the new party at Lucys house. Meanwhile Lucys parents call
and say they
are
coming home early.. everyone has to go home, and Clutch shows up all drunk
(its funny).
