NOTE: I will be holding off on Degrassi Extra until Friday night…sorry, I’m not staying up until 6am trying to finish it. It’ll also be where I announce the winner of the “I’m Degrassi’s Biggest Fan” Contest!
****************
PLOT A SUMMARY: With Vince on the loose, Drew is paranoid that he’s going to be attacked. He’s so paranoid that he’s afraid to be out in public and he begins to distance himself from Bianca. He also blames her for everything that’s happened. In order to get Drew’s forgiveness, Bianca agrees to sleep with Vince if he promises to leave Drew alone. However, Vince’s friends jump Drew anyway.
The angst isn’t as strong as it was in Spring Fever, but there was still enough to keep me engaged throughout the entire episode. Drew’s paranoia carries this plot. What makes Luke’s performance stand out is the fact that Drew is the only person who has a sense of urgency about knowing Vince could attack at any time. A character is doing something right when they make you feel what they’re feeling. Not even his helicopter mom seemed to even grasp the gravity of the fact that there’s a gangster out there who wants to kill her son. I assumed she would’ve hired bodyguards to follow him everywhere.
A surprise aspect of this situation was Bianca’s reaction to Drew trying to push her away. We still know nothing about this girl except for that she’s got a bad girl past and she’s Drew’s arm candy. There was no her trying to be “Ms. Tough Girl,” trying to pretend like she doesn’t care or saying something to hurt Drew as he distanced himself. We saw her vulnerable side, and she showed hurt when Drew broke up with her after what she went through to try and keep them together. It’s not as much depth as I was hoping for her character, but it’s a start.
So do I now ship Drianca after all that even though they broke up? Nope. To me they were always a couple having fun together, with an expiration date plastered plain as day on their head. But what they’ve gone through in Season 11 has helped them grow as individuals.

**************
PLOT B SUMMARY: Owen posts on Facerange that he hooked up with someone at Fiona’s party. Fiona and Holly J are disgusted, but don’t know it was Anya who he hooked up with. Owen starts posting clues as to who it is, which leads Anya to send him a private message on Facerange saying their hookup was forgettable…only it turns out she posted it publicly. Fiona and Holly J think someone hacked Anya’s page, but Anya confesses it was her and also tells them she was rejected by university. Feeling as if she has nothing left, she decides to give Owen a chance.
I do not ship Ownya. I do not ship Ownya. I do not ship Ownya. What is there to ship? Owen said Anya’s friends know nothing about him…and neither do we.
Anya has become so ridiculous. I think we’ve all watched enough Degrassi to know that teen girls lose all ability to think rationally when it comes to guys. That’s fine, but there’s no way you will ever convince me that thinking you can up and run off to Africa with a guy you barely know is nothing short of ridiculous.
The scenario provided by Ownya’s hookup? Now that’s irrationality I can deal with. The only good to come from Anya’s virtual obsession with Dr. Chris is how she’s coping with the collapse of her fantasy. It’s surreal watching all of her plans fall apart and grasping onto Owen for some sense of comfort.
Still…I do not ship Ownya. We still know nothing about Owen except that he behaves like a jerk on a regular basis. I have a wait-and-see attitude.

****************
PLOT C SUMMARY: Connor and Wesley pull a prank by stealing Ms. Oh’s panties while she takes a shower at school. However, Wesley realizes that Connor’s become obsessed with collecting other women’s underwear. Wesley makes Connor promise to stop stealing them. We’re left with Connor sneaking into the women’s locker room once again to steal more panties.
This plot still doesn’t have the funny/creepy vibe I was expecting, but it was still interesting. This is once again setting up for an eventual climax (which will be Connor getting caught). To an extent, Connor’s behavior doesn’t seem very creepy. It’d be one thing if he were stealing panties, then sniffing them or something. But just like anything else he’s become obsessed with, this is just another intense obsession for him, one that’s destined to cause him damage socially. Nothing mind-blowing here, but a decent, yet odd story to follow.
Kary's Degrassi Blog 
For this episode, I was really bored with KC and Jenna . I just don’t find them interesting at all ..
& As for Anya’s plot or whatever, I think it was good that Dr.Chris wasn’t really into her. It was just kinda weirdd . :P But I think that Anya and Owen are cute, but I agree with you Kary, that hopefully there is development there & I absolutely hated Peter and Mia – Well. Maybe I just hated Peter. xD
I love Drew and Bianca’s storyline , it’s really intense and keeps me interested.
HAHAHAHAHAHAH when Connor said “Why do they wear tight shirts then..?” Lmao .

To be honest I found this episode better than the one before that with Claire. Sorry guys.
I was really creeped out with Connor. When he grabbed Fiona’s panties I honestly thought he was going to sniff them! And get caught sniffing them! That guy creeps me out to the max.
As for Anya and Owen I do not think they belong together although I am excited to see what will come out of this. In the preview for the next episode Owen is facebooking about their hookup to everyone, which sounds like a real jerk move and I do not understand why Anya would go for him after that.
Kc and Jenna bore me so much. This episode was a little better because I actually felt myself getting pissed at KC for what he was doing. But usually when I see stuff about them I want to skip to a different character’s scene on my computer. But I never do.
I am also anticipating what will happen with Drew and Bianca. So far there plot happens to be the most intense so far.

What’s with Degrassi and their penile issues? First JT had a stack of dime and resorted to a penis pump and now Drew couldn’t get it up? Is he going to start stealing Viagra now?
As creepy as Connor’s story is, I think it has a lot of merit because it’s so bizarre, I can’t help but find it amusing. I sure hope that poor kid doesn’t come across Chantay’s panties. That would be enough to make him kick the habit in a heartbeat though!!

Yep. They dropped the ball on Riley and Zane to focus on Clare, Alli, Eli and Drew last season. Even if they don’t include them in “A” plots all the time, using them as supporting other friends should be enough to carry over until their main plots. As far as we know, Zane doesn’t have any friends other than Riley and we’ve only seen Riley friends with Peter and Anya. Since they are seniors, why not have Riley/Zane/Sav hang out?

Now we know that is one-time steal as turned into an obssession. Oh and how refreshing was it to see Riley as a side-character :) I’m still not so sure how I feel about this.

Yes, Owen is a total and complete ***hole, but speaking from what I’ve seen in my life and with my friends, sometimes it’s hard to think logically. Anya is clearly at an incredibly low point. After her mess of a relationship with Sav and rejection from Dr. Cris, all that’s going through her head right now is that she has someone that wants her. I don’t think we should all bash the Degrassi writers for putting them together. He’s been into her since the end of last season and I don’t think it’s unrealistic to see them together at this point, especially after all that occurred in the previous episode with Anya.
Connor’s obsession… wow. I find it incredibly entertaining. It’s different and very Connor-esque. I’m excited to see what happens next with this new collection of
I’m really mixed about pitying Bianca and disliking her for the mess she got Drew into. Although, I do more so pity her. I think a bit of her has changed and she clearly cares a lot for Drew. I think she actually wanted a serious boyfriend and to have a healthy relationship.

Drianca is not over. Sorry, but if that is the end of the storyline then I have no words. The writers spent so much time working up the storyline just for it to end like that. Let’s be serious, Drew obviously still likes Bianca and she went to the extremes to try to save him. Of course, we all knew that her having sex with Vince wasn’t going to do anything, but I hope Drew confronts her about it in the next episode they are in together. I feel like Drianca has so much potential still and that Drew and Bianca fit together well. I just hope the writers realize that Drianca and the drama that comes along with them can’t just be ended with a breakup (which by the way was before he got beaten so I would at least like to see them talk about that in a later episode).
To be honest, I enjoyed the Owanya plot. It was realistic. Well, expect for the fact that someone wouldn’t know how to private message someone else. I personally think that Anya’s mini breakdown was executed quite well. It wasn’t overdramatic or underdramatic. I also enjoyed the end when Owen and Anya are at the Dot. Although we have seen Owen be a jerk in the past, we really don’t know much about him. So, he’s right; Anya’s friends don’t know him. I kind of liked how Holly J and Fiona were talking about Anya’s low self esteeem and self respect without knowing it was her. Because that’s what really happens. Although normally, after they realized it was her, her friends would immediately take it back even though they don’t mean it. I do think that Anya was right; her friends don’t know her. I see much potential in Owanya. Oh, and I must say that Owen reminded me quite a lot of Jay Hogart.
The Connor storyline is…interesting. I don’t quite understand if he doesn’t want a girlfriend because of his syndrome that he has (I forget the name, but when he doesn’t get normal social standards) or for some other reason. To me, this plot should’vve wrapped up in this episode. I don’t know how much longer I want to watch Connor be creepy and sneak into the girls’ locker room to steal their underwear. Part of me was hoping for him to get caught in this episode and then in a later one have to deal with the consequences (like apologizing to each girl individually or to all of them publicly or something). To me, him having to deal with the punishment would be more interesting then him just stealing panties.
On to the promos:
So it looks like katie assigns Clare to cover Eli’s play which turns out to relate to the earlier EClare drama. My guess is that Imogen and Eli aren’t all that close until after she pretends to be Clare to help Eli get over her. I also think that Imogen won’t try to be just like Clare like I originally thought. She probably stalks him and manipulates him into thinking that Clare never loved him by prenteding to be her in that scene. The writers better do a good job with this very delicate plot because, in the end, not everyone is going to be happy. Plus, right now, I’m not sure how they want us to view Imogen. Right now, based on promos, episode descriptions, and charater info, I can imogen as a crazed stalker, a manipulative rebound for Eli, or a realistic relationship possibilty for Eli. However, by the end of Now or Never, I am assuming that Eli gets rid of Imogen and tries to win Clare back because, let”s face it, they are so not over.
Now, onto Adam and Dave. So they both want a similar spot on the radio show, it happens to be a man show. Dave, obviously, thinks that he should get it for the shallow reason that he is physcially a guy. But he acts all okay with it. Until he and Adam are in the bathroom and I’m not quite sure what’s happening there but Dave doesn’t like it and walks out. Then they both go on air where Dave and Adam start to duke it out. Adam probably does better than Dave and that’s when Dave makes a slam a transgenders (either as or followed by him dressing up as a girl and probably arguing that if Adam wants to dress as a boy then he can dress like a girl). Everyone probably hates Dave and then he tries to get out of the hole he dug. My guess is that in the end, Adam helps clear Daves name. I’m hoping that they include an Adam/Katie friendship here (first off because Adam takes a low blow and their supposedly friends and because Clare, who is Adam’s close friends, wants to be on the paper but Katie is a bitch about it and assigns her to Eli’s play) and a Dave/Connor/Wesley frienship (cuz Connor and Wesley were on sciene team with Adam and are probably friends with him) and a Dave/Sadie relationship (because we see an angry Sadie at Dave and because they need to end for Dave and Alli to get together later).
Ziley. They end. My guess. A tweet said that they have a bittersweet ending so it will probably be a mutual breakup. As to the whole thing where Zane asks if Riley is cheating on him, possibly just an assumtion made by Zane. I think that they break up at the end because they are both going to different places to live their dreams and carry on with their lives. That would be a bittersweet ending for them.

I read a book called House Rules by Jodi Picoult because the main character had Asperger’s, and it shed a whole new light on Aspy kids for me. I’ll say I wasn’t Connor’s biggest fan, but after reading the book, I appreciated his character a whole lot more.

Well I was expecting it to be more like a fetish-type storyline. But what makes it “less creepy” for me is knowing he’s not intentionally getting off on having the panties. Though his teen boy hormones may be kicking in without him being aware of it, he’s become obsessed with them in a more technical aspect as opposed to a sexual aspect. Or at least that’s what I gathered from the scene with Wesley where he was talking about the difference in the material of Fiona and Ms. Oh’s underwear. It’s still interesting though.

The Anya/Owen stuff was good, I just need Owen to make amends with people he hurt who were Anya’s friends like Zane or Riley, or Adam even if Anya and Adam arent friends lol. They aren’t Pia 2.0 though that’s for sure, they had interactions in prior episodes and weren’t pushed on us.The Conor stuff was boring personally it just wasn’t very good. Can we have LoveQueen16 back, lol? As for future episodes, we need a Bianca solo plot. the writers have humanized her, she’s no longer this cold-hearted, slutty, bad girl, she’s shown feeliongs and concern. We now need a plot that shows her home life, explains her past, maybe even make a new friend that’s a girl like Fiona? As for the next episode, good god Dave is turning into Degrassi’s Biggest Asshole Ever! Regardless, the Dave/Adam plot should be siome great stuff and the Eli/Igomen storyline looks entertaining already.

I think it’s ridiculous how Connor can just walk into the girls locker room any time he wants without anyone inside the locker room or outside seeing him.

Anya is one of my favorite charcters on the show, and it bothered me so much how she barley got any plots last season, the only ones were, her mom having cancer, which they dropped after 2 episodes, Dr.Chris, and the date with wesley. And so when I heard that Anya was getting more plots this season was excited, but after watching her so far, Im pissed. The whole Dr.Chris storyline could’ve been explored so much more further, like he could’ve raped her, or they could have had sex and she could’ve regretted it afterwards, but no they make a big deal about it back in march then drop it.
Anya not getting into college, its whatever
Anya hooking up with Owen pissed me off. Owen is such a prick-dick, how could she? I understood when she first hooked up with him because she was depressed about not getting into college and Dr.Chris, but now she wants to be in a relationship with him? What pisses me off is that all these couples dont make any sense. Owen is just a douche, and Anya was disguested with him until this episode, and now shes all like ”My friends dont know you, or me” blah blah blah. I’d rather have her be with Sav rather than Owen. They just kissed out of nowhere. Bianca and Drew, you never see them laugh together, or just hangout or act like they do like eachother, and thats what its going to be like with Anya and Owen. They only couples who had chemistry were Spinner and Jane because you saw them laugh together, hang out, and just talk, Declan and Holly J, and Eli and Clare, and personally, Eli and Clare had the most developed reltaionship I’ve ever seen on the show, so their relationship made the most sense, sure it was WAY too over dramatic for me, I hated their relationship but they weren’t complete oppistes before and they never hated eachother.
I just hope Anya’s storyling gets better, I know she gets into coke and all that, so Im looking forward to that, but if this is the last season that Holly J, Anya, Sav, and Fiona (possibly), then they need to have good plots.

I think it will get better. Anya and Owen made me go WTF too, but I don’t believe that they’re going to become a “coupley” couple like everyone else. Because she built her future around Dr. Chris and that all came crashing down, she’s slipping emotionally…she’s vulnerable as hell now and that’s why she’s with Owen, not because she actually likes him. Where I’m counting on this plot going into overdrive is hopefully Owen continuing to be the bad boy he’s always been and be the reason she gets into drugs. Basically I see their relationship as nothing more than a stepping stone to her spiraling out of control.

I actually think Anya and Owen may become a steady couple and Anya gets looked down on because of it. I actually think that when Anya becomes sucked into drugs Owen is surprisingly going to be the one who stops or helps her get out of the habit. I only say this because I think they go to prom together and that is one of the last episodes.

“That’s fine, but there’s no way you will ever convince me that thinking you can up and run off to Africa with a guy you barely know is nothing short of ridiculous.” It’s completely ridiculous, but this IS Anya we’re talking about… after all, she was the girl who slept with her boyfriend without protection just to make a point. Anya’s always made stupid decisions when it comes to guys (which is why it took me awhile to like her…), so her thinking she could go to Africa with her pseudo-boyfriend doesn’t surprise me that much, haha.
I LOATHE the idea of Ownya, but it’s like you said, it makes sense that it happened. Anya’s vulnerable, and she will clearly be going through an identity crisis this season. She’s going to be doing things no one would expect her to do… including dating Owen.
Everyone is creeped out by Connor’s behavior, but I honestly feel pretty sorry for him. He’s not trying to be a pervert because he really doesn’t understand what he’s doing.
