Degrassi Season Two
Degrassi: Season Two
1. Tears Are Not Enough, Part 1- When Degrassi expands their school by merging with a neighboring high school, accepting Grade 9-12 students, the school must face budget problems. Joey Jeremiah's troubled step-son, Craig Manning, is in town and begins to spy on him and his daughter, Angela. At school, Craig makes two new friends ( Emma and Sean ) but what happens when Joey tells Craig's abusive dad that he has been spying on them? Meanwhile, Toby creates a dating system and J.T. decides to go for Paige. Will he be hurt when he finds out she accepted the date for money?
My Thoughts- I personally can't wait to see this episode, I think this was a great way to start off the new season. Abusive Parents is a personal thing to me, for one of my best friends when I was little, was abused by her dad. I can't wait to see how they deal with this.
2. Tears Are Not Enough, Part 2- Craig's dad has been hitting him hard again and Craig decides to run away with Sean. After Sean sees that Craig wanted to play chicken with a train, he runs off for help. To his ex-girlfriend, Emma Nelson. They contact Joey and tell him everything. Joey is shocked. Will they find Craig and convince him that life will get better? Or will it be too late?
My Thoughts- I can't wait to see Emma and Sean in this episode. Sorry, but it's the truth. They're my favorite Degrassi couple! And the whole playing-chicken-with-the-train.... They didn't show that on the N and I want to see it really bad. Degrassi tackles tough issues, what can I say?
3. Girls Just Wanna Have Fun- Emma can't believe her ears when her Mom tells her she's dating Mr. Simpson her teacher and things get really bad when she can't handle that her mom is with Snake 24/7 and decides with Manny and the help of Craig to crash the seniors dance. Also Spinner and Jimmy are competing to get tickets and in the process sabotage each other.
My Thoughts- Sounds like another great episode. Can't wait to see Emma's awesome 80's hairdo!!
4. Karma Chamelon- Ashley wants her friends back all of them even Terri is a bit different and she's willing to do anything so everyone can forget about last years party, but karma has its way and Ashley finds herself with no friends at all. Meanwhile Toby takes a liking to Spin's sister Kendra.
My Thoughts- I've seen half of this episode, and boy, is Terri a bitch. She completely deserts Ashley and decides to become " popular" with Paige. Even though I dislike Ashley's character, I still felt bad for her. You gotta hate it when your " friend" is suddenly not your " friend" any more.
5. Weird Science- Emma feels uneasy when Mr. Simpson offers help on her science project at the school's science fair and Manny mistakenly lets the entire school know that Emma's mom is dating Mr. Simpson. Also Spinner adapts to his new role as a ladies' man, and gets Jimmy upset when he flirts with the girl he likes.
My Thoughts- I love Emma/Mr.Simpson family interaction. Emma's never had to deal with a dad, so it's kind of nice to watch it. Besides, I went through this too, so I can relate.
6. Drive- Craig gets to drive and he's only 14!! And he's even happier when Joey lets him stay home alone and even invite his friends. But then they get the brilliant idea to take one of Joey's cars around the block. Meanwhile Ashley wants to impress her new friend Ellie by getting her belly button pierced.
My Thoughts- I've read some quotes from this episode and it sounds sooo funny! I love Degrassi humor because it's so... witty and intelligent, you know? Plus, Ellie's character is cool and you get to see more of her rebellious side.
MORE TO COME!
