MAIN PLOT: Holly J thinks Declan might be cheating on her.
The pressures of a long-distance relationship are starting to get to Holly J. Declan invites her on a roadtrip (where they’ll also get to visit Yale), but Holly J doesn’t have the money to get to NYC, and she’s still thoroughly tied down to her studies.
After a “thrilling” job interview and shopping with Fiona, Holly J stumbles upon pictures of Tinsley being TOO friendly with Declan. Then after a very shady skype session where Declan says Holly J shouldn’t come to NYC, she decides to end their relationship.
But that’s not the end of it! As Holly J enters The Dot, thinking she’s going to meet up with Fiona, she’s surprised to see Declan sitting there. The episode doesn’t really end with a cliffhanger, I actually feel the same way Holly J feels…like “Uhhhh, What are you doing here?” I get that in Part 2 they’re either going to stay together or break up, but I just can’t see how they story will proceed in a way that’s interesting.
And speaking of interesting (or lack of), I think my love of Holly J and Declan as a couple has reached its boiling point. I like both characters as individuals, but with Holly J being overly obsessed with Yale, etc. BECAUSE of Declan, I’m suffering Relationship Overload. And if you don’t know what that feels like, go watch all of the Semma episodes in Season 6.

SUBPLOT 1: Eli deals with Fitz’s bullying.
Well…this came out of nowhere. I don’t what had convinced me that Eli was a pushover (maybe the fact that people have been saying all Spring/Summer that he’s going to commit suicide, and one of the reasons could be bullying), but he’s definitely not a pushover in this episode.
Eli stands up to Fitz after homeboy damages his hearse. He also steps in to protect Adam from getting his ass kicked. Clare wants Eli to end the feud, but after Fitz kicks Eli in the nards that’s not happening. Eli’s plan to get him back involves faking a truce, where Eli creates a fake id that will get Fitz into big trouble in Part 2.
I enjoy rivalry storylines and that’s what fuels my enjoyment of this plot. The weird thing about this one is that Eli seems to be the driving force behind the drama, because I highly doubt Fitz is actively searching out Eli to harass him. Still, I can’t get enough Eli (and his sidekick Adam).

SUBPLOT 2: Connor, Wesley and Dave start a band.
The explanation is pretty self explanatory. The boys start a band in order to get girls. It’s Wesley and Connor’s idea, and they drag Dave into it by signing themsevles up for Degrassi Band Slam auditions. If you’re thinking what I’m thinking about this plot, then nothing more needs to be said.
But if not….after how Dave awesome was last year, I hate how they’re wasting his character this season. And Connor and Wesley aren’t strong enough to carry any sort of storyline. I know Stephen Stohn’s favorite part of the show is the sound and (most importantly) the music, but not every single character needs to be in a band, or have their real-life musical skills incorporated into the show. And if you’re going to do that…give us at least one freakin’ musical episode before the series ends. LONG LIVE DOWNTOWN SASQUATCH!

I agree that the Holly J. and Declan love is reaching a point where it is intolerable and that their storyline is kinda stale. I also agree that Fitz/Eli’s bullying storyline is good because of how awesome Eli is for never backing down. I WAS surprised however to find out that Eli seems to be the one pushing it too. I however don’t agree with your grade for Conner and Wesley. I thought the storyline was realistic in the way that Dave couldn’t sing (which a lot of people can’t) and I thought the storyline held it’s own by being a funny filler as a way to laugh after Fitz and Eli’s tense moments.

Im sorry but Kary I disagree with all your reviews that u posted today. I dunno if ur mad at Degrassi or something but these plots are really good and solid this week and there is no way these plots are worse than Season 8’s plots and Some of the Season 9’s(and subplots) plots >.>

sorry to double post but I dont think Holly j and Declan’s relationshoip hasn’t even been focused on this season ever since the premiere which was weeks ago, Alli has appeared in more episodes since then with more useless plots >.> THIS in no way can be compared to Peter and Mia because they were literally in every mainplot/subplot! Also If the Declan/Holy J thing is getting annoying then the Eli/Clare relationship is just as annoying, its going no where and won’t until just about the end of the boiling point(based off episode descriptions) At least they are finally decided weather to end Declan/Holly J tonight
SO basically this whole rant is to say The episodes this week were good and better than the plots last week (IMO) and the episodes this week have more relate-able messages like Jenna, Holly J, Sav, and “The Tenners” plot unlike last week’s Riley(no real message for real people just Riley learning his own message) and KC’s mom >.>

I dont’ know why but Eli’s character has become VERY interesting after this episode and part 2. It’s like he’s not only trying to get revenge, he’s an evil genius.
If a guy wanted a fake id to end drama, I would just give one to him without any drama. But Eli pushes it so that he gets busted in an even worse way. I think that this plot may seem small to others, but it’s a huge look into Eli’s world. He’s very streetsmart and such a mastermind. I can’t wait to see what he does with this.
I really like the Eli/Adam friendship. Quite frankly, Fitz had no business trying to fight with Adam. But I’m happy Eli stuck up for him.
LikeLike
In other words, Eli came across very shady and smug. You really can’t equate removing a hood ornament and a groin kick to a fake ID with arson charges.
In real life, Eli would have been clocked and more the first time Fitz saw him.
Outside of the Bieber-like fanatics for him(which is a major negative right now), I don’t mind his character.
A subtle dick but is at least seemingly trying to make Clare worth caring about.

i love eli. even though he is kinda contradicting his own thoughts. (saying he needs to stop bullies but is kinda of being one)i think it adds to his mysterious, dark side personality that i dont remember being on degrassi yet. at least not to this extent. plus his looks are spot on to his personality. (even munro’s crooked smile)
apparently, according to wiki, fitz digs smart girls (cough clare cough) and if you havent noticed, he’s been looking at clare in almost every freakin scene they are in together. maybe some possible drama there. i mean she was #3 on dave’s list, so dudes obviously notice her this season.

Man, if Eli had done what he did where I live, he probably would’ve gotten shot.

I don’t know if you guys have ever seen the show South Park, but Eli reminds me of Cartman.
In one episode, Cartman wanted to get revenge on a guy named Scott who sold him pubic hair, so Cartman concocted this evil plan that took him the whole episode that involved the murder of Scott’s parents and caused him to eat his parents in the form of chili.
I know South Park is an exaggerated cartoon, but Eli greatly reminded me of this episode when I saw it. And one of my favorite characters on South Park is Cartman. He takes revenge and kicks it up a notch to just plain cruelty and evil. I find it interesting.
LikeLike
Eli’s character is actually three dimensional– we all have a darker side to our personality and he is no different. Where the majority of the Degrassi characters can be considered 2D, both Clare and Eli are REAL. Not everything is hearts and flowers– people do things that might seem ‘shady’ but it’s really a reflection of the things they’ve endured in life. With Care and Eli, there is a wonderful yin/yang aspect to the relationship. She is the ‘light’ and he is the ‘dark’- also nicely emphasized with the male/ female conceptualization. Eli’s openess to Clare is a step towards balance but change does not happen at the drop of a hat. Eli obviously has a past (his comments about his reputation certainly point to that idea) and we have to remember that it’s almost impossible to embrace a new mentality instantly. That is why he did a complete 180 with Fitz after telling Clare he’d ‘call off the dogs’. From what I can see, Eli has a lot of tumult to work through and Clare is going to be a big part of that, just as he is helping her discover the more rebellious side of who she is. It’s all about balance.
That said, I see a lot of potential in their relationship BUT, just as Clare has begun to open up under Eli’s prodding he will have to do the same. That’s why I believe that the high point of their relationship will not happen for a while. Eli has a lot to work through- he is a deeply caring individual- that much is certain from the way he feels about Clare and Adam…and did anyone notice the almost vulnerable quality to his character in ‘I Just Don’t Know What to Do with Myself’ in The Dot and with Sav? Definitely worth contemplating.
Right now, I believe the fight with Fitz is just the physical affirmation of what is going on inside of Eli. He’s engaged in a battle with life, trying to figure out who he IS. He might come across as this smug and collected individual but I don’t think that’s really the case. It’s a front– just like the clothes and the hearse…the real Eli can be seen when he interacts with Clare. He’s actually sweet as hell.
Personally, I adore the storyline with Eli and Clare. It is well written and so wonderfully real. The writers seem to have taken the time to flush out symbolism and the importance of a developed character. Kudos!!

I agree.To me, this wasn’t one of the best episodes. I was sad when it ended because I thought better stuff would happen, but it didn’t. I mean, it was still a good episode, just not the best.
I thought that the Declan and Holly J thing would have been at least three episodes. I figured that she would have thought he had been cheating on her for longer, and there would be more drama, and all that snazzy stuff. :/
But, I did like the Eli vs. Fitz. I find all of his remarks towards Fitz hilarious. “You hit like me grandma!” Lol. To me, that was my favorite plot.
The Three Tenners. Ugh. I did not like this plot. Very boring. The most interesting thing that happened there was:
Dave to Wesley: What? What was wrong with my sing-
Connor: It’s TERRIBLE!!!!!

I agree mostly with your reviews. They hyped up this season to be a big thing and I feel like for the most part it’s been good but they drop storylines too quickly, add things like lame bands and bouncy balls, bring in pigs. I’m really liking Fitz and Eli this season along with Clare and hopefully Bianca and Owen too. I’m really starting to not care about the other characters as much. I liked Fiona being abused but now her character seems to be annoying and blah. I hope that when Bobby comes back I start to like her again. Adam is alright, I don’t love him yet like everyone else seems to, but I hope that changes after next week. I dont really care for Dave, Sav, Anya, Jenna, Ali or Riley anymore …. yet. I’m tired of seeing Holly J all the time and Declan. I’m also glad that Chantay is being seen more but I’m really starting not to like her either, all of a sudden she thinks shes like tough?

Yeah, that’s the exact same way as my brother. There are some little things that you notice, but you kind of forget that they have the issue.

But, again, I do understand what you’re saying. It would have been interesting if they made his Aspergers more severe, like I said before. And then they could have showed his home life, and how they coped with it, and the problems he still may have with it..
Like, my brother, he goes to this social therapy, and even though he’s improved alot, he is in that phase where he tries to act like everyone else his age. But, that’s usually when you are about ten. He’s sixteen. About Connor’s age. So, I think that it would be neat if they had a plot about something like that. Just to show how he copes and whatnot. IMO.

Now it’s like a total 180 with his character.
With the new characters last year Dave and Declan were pretty established.

I completely agree with everything. Like after the hype in the promos for this episode, not only was I happy they used a Billy Talent song for the title. But I really hoped Eli vs. Fitz got the main plot. It’s like with Holly J and Declan, that’s all it was about and her jealous. I would use that time their scenes, as for the Three Tenners too, just to watch like a video or something. I have nothing to say about the sub-plot B, but pathetic.
But the Eli story, was really good! It showed us more then just Eli, they opened up to a lot caracters and yeah. Like more Adam, learn about Fitz more, a little more Eclare action. I especially loved the scene where Eli got kneed, like I hate Fitz for it, but I like how it impled a bit that Clare does like him and he does too, like one of those things you have to notice by their expressions and yeah. But most likely, we got to see how awesomely clear Eli. Degrassi really hasn’t had someone like Eli entirely I think.

the three tenners had so much potential to be a great traditional degrassi story line. again i say traditional, as in it would not be a degrassi without a cheesy highschool band. i just feel like it was so random, with no hope for development.

I actually liked part 2 better because everything turns out better. Even the band. I thought it was cute how they used Wesley’s flute as the background music for the next scene.

He’s also an evil genius, which is just the icing on the sexy cake that is Eli. His personality, coconaut flavored filling. I’m so glad Degrassi has created someone who I’ve fallen in love with as more than just a character. For that, I thank degrassi.

Aw, I don’t think that the Three Tenners plot deserved an F. Personally, I feel that the formation of TTT was a lot less contrived than the formation of Studz back in S7. Wesley, Connor, and Dave have all been friends for a while, whereas Peter started his band to MAKE friends (right? it’s been a while since I’ve watched any episodes from s7). It was hard for me to buy 4 guys who aren’t friends coming together to start a band. Plus, I think that TTT’s sound is kind of refreshing: Degrassi’s never had a non-rock group. I was really into Wesley’s flute playing. It’s also nice to see a band of guys who aren’t part of the “cool” crowd. I just hope that they write more than 1 song…
On the other hand, it’s kind of early for ANOTHER FRIGGIN’ BAND. Also, I do agree that Dave’s been given less than stellar plots, so far. Poor dude’s been relegated to nerdville. I have a feeling that he and Alli will eventually end up together, though.

I AM getting bored of Holly J/Declan. I used to love HJ, but now almost everything she does revolves around Declan, and I don’t really like it.
Is this the first F of the season? Aw. But I agree with it, so no real complaints.
LikeLike
i agree with the grading for the most part.
1) yes the declan/holly j plot deserved the C it got for execution purposes only. I appreciated the way holly j stood up for herself in the end and i’ve never been a BIG fan of this couple, they were just kinda there. but the last scene in the cab really did make me feel for them because I do have the understanding of a long distance relationship.
2) Eli’s plot, I would have given it an A but that’s probably biased anyway :] I don’t think he is the driving force behind the feud with Fitz. Fitz is the one who started it on every occasion, it was simply Eli’s unwillingness to backdown and be “the victim” that causes the escalating. On a side note, I love how they’re working in bits of Eli/Clare in every episode he’s in without really overwhelming us. It’s great watching a relationship build instead of just BAM! there you go.
3) I generally don’t like wesley or dave, connor is a coin toss just cause i love how honest he can be sometimes. Does anyone else think Dave’s done a total 180 in the personality dept.? I mean when Alli was with Johnny he was all ‘why do you care what other people think?’ and now all he does is care what other people think! He and Alli deserve each other, they’ve become gendered versions of the same [annoying] high school cliche.

Oh! One more thing. The Eli/Fitz story. I like Eli. Not as much as some other people. But I do think he went to far. There’s a difference from a kick to the groin and fake arsonist charges. Yeah, Eli, Fitz and his friends will TOTALLY ignore you now!
LikeLike
I agree, which is why I’m a little apprehensive about where Eli’s going to go, next. The writers introduced him so nicely. I don’t want him to be revealed as a psycho. I think that he and Clare are totally adorable together, but the fact that he’s a little twisted throws a wrench into the cuteness that is EClare. Not your typical WHAM we’re dating Degrassi couple. Of course, I still want to see them together, and STAY together. I don’t want Eli to decide that he’s been in love forever with Jenna in the series finale, and marry her, like another veteran who shall remain nameless, but whose initials begin with S-P-I-N-N-E-R did…yes, I’m still bitter about the asininity that is Spemma. Jane deserved better than the hand she was dealt in season 9…*sigh*
I’ve also come to the conclusion that Eli is Degrassi’s answer to Bugs Bunny. He’s a likable stinker who gets off on pissing bullies off, and is invincible, as TH part 2 will show.

Let me just start off by saying thank god Holly J and Declan broke up. I was devastated by the way Holly J just took him back, just like that, at the beginning of Try Honesty Part 2. I just hope that’s the end of them FOR GOOD.
I love the pace that Eli/Clare are progressing, I think it’s one of the few perfect things this season so far. They are undoubtedly going to be an interesting couple. I just wish we could see more of the Alli/Clare friendship, because that was dropped rather fast, and Alli’s character is getting significantly less complex. I think we need to see her with Clare a bit more.
Fitz’s bullying was a little random, we never got a reason as for why he picks on Eli, but besides that, I liked the plot. As pretty much everyone else said, we really got to finally see Eli as a person. His friendship with Adam is great, and I can’t wait until they have a little “confession time” with each other.
The Three Tenners plot really made me sick. Something about it was so random, and so filler, I really didn’t like it. There was not enough drama. And poor Dave – I think he really needs something added to his storyline. The idea that Connor and Wesley wanted to cheer Dave up was a good idea for a plot, but by forming a BAND? I don’t think so. And the biggest problem throughout all this was that Dave had a bad voice. That’s not very heart-wrenching to me. I did however like Sav’s little chat with Dave, about how his friends were only trying to cheer him up, and that he “can’t ask for better friends than that.” This plot had great potential, but Degrassi screwed up on this one.
Nowhere near the best episode I’ve seen, this whole episode will definitely be forgotten by me in a few months, but it could have been much worse…

You were devastated that she ‘took him back’. He never actually cheated on her so why wouldn’t she.

first response here.
1. So I guess I’m with the minority when I say I completely agree with the F to the band plot. It was just to unrealistic (Connor doesn’t even have a favorite band, but he can digitally compose snappy beats and write lyrics that fit?), and really boring to watch unfold (maybe because it was mixed with the seriousness of the other plots). I was just really annoyed whenever their scenes came on. This includes my judgment on part 2.
2. Holly J has been annoying me with the, my whole future will suck if it doesn’t include Yale/Declan, mindset that just won’t die no matter how many subplots hit her, showing her otherwise. Though I did feel for her when she walked in and saw Declan at the end. The 180 on her feelings for him, and her trust in their relationship was a bit unsettling, but since I know how it all goes down in part 2, I’ll let it slide.
3. Best plot: Eli vs. Fitz. I thought it was a mistake of the actor, when it looked like he was about to smile/laugh while insulting Fitz, after he and his friends slammed Adam into the lockers. But after seeing part 2… It looks like Eli enjoys being bullied a bit too much. I think he completely overreacted in the parking lot scene when Fitz and gang were just standing in his parking space. Plus, it looks like he knows exactly what to say to push Fitz’s violent buttons (who so far hasn’t initiated any of the confrontations).
So, after watching these scenes several times, I’ve come to the conclusion that something bad must have been going on at home that morning when Fitz broke Eli’s car, so he took it out on the people standing in his parking space. So maybe he sees this multilayered revenge scheme as a good distraction from whatever is going on at home (a home with folks that let their son drive a hearse, mind you, plus remember when he gave Clare his headphones, but described them as noise cancelation things, speaking from experience, perhaps?).
or he’s just an evil genius with a side of crazy. Either way, I love him and this plot.

Wow i am surprised so many people are bashing th e Holly J and Declan plot. I don’t think at all it was character overload. They really didn’t have a plot that MAINLY focused on them. The last one that really did that was the last episode of Season 9 before the movie. Everything else they were together for seemed to be out shadowed by everything else like Fiona’s jealous or her getting abused etc. but it was really the first time it was them with no distractions. I can find what they were going through very relateable, many people do try long distant relationships and i can think of a few people in my highschool who have them. And they DO get very paranoid about their bf/gf sometimes. As far as the money thing, i think it was something Declan would try, but i wish they would have had him actually cheat and see the turmoil of that break up then the way it did end

It doesn’t have to be that plots are mainly focused on them. The real issue is Holly J. Everytime she appears on screen now its her bitching about having so much school prep, getting into Yale, and being sad that she’s poor now. Why is she doing all of this? So she can be with Declan. She’s overly attached to him, and planning her future around him.
We’re not talking about a minor character here; Holly J is one of the strongest characters on the show…she’s an ambitious, independent woman who’s suddenly acting OOC because of a boy. I don’t have to remind people of what happens when a great female character goes boy crazy…*cough* Ellie *cough*

I am DYING to make one for Eli, but I also don’t want to jump the gun. I need to know more before I am able to pick the perfect songs… however, after hearing Eminem & Rihanna’s “Love the Way You Lie” and the part that Rihanna sings “Just gonna stand there and watch me burn, but that’s all right because I like the way it hurts.” … after Try Honesty Pt. 2 that line immediately makes me think of Eli and his sadism. I don’t know if they’ll be any abuse in his storyline but MAN I can’t wait to find out. Also, everyone needs to watch the LTWYL music vid because Dominic Monaghan and Megan Fox (!) are incredible… I never thought I’d say that about the latter but, honestly, Dominic (and Eminem) bring out the best in people.

I have a real-life question on the transgendered topic. This may sound ignorant but I’ve never been exposed to any transgendered people so I’m curious. My friend’s cousin is a lesbian and dresses in men’s clothing and has her hair cut short. I don’t know if she also changed her name like Adam’s character because I haven’t seen her in awhile. So, would she be considered transgendered?
LikeLike
being trans isn’t directly linked to sexuality. there are transmen who are into women but also transmen who like men. being a lesbian who likes to look like a guy is different. granted, your cousin might be trans and you don’t know since you haven’t seen her. but if she’s still going by a female name and identifying as female, even if she looks like a guy, she’s not trans.
LikeLike
The way it was described to me when I went to a seminar was in transgender individuals, what they have down below doesn’t match what’s between their ears. I’m not transgender and I’m a female, so when I look down I see normal female anatomy, and I’m ok with it. I recognize I am female. When someone who’s transgender, say Chelsea, looks down, she sees something that isn’t right. In her mind, she was born into the wrong body; she should have been born a male. And if she takes it a step further to have surgery to become a male, she will then be considered a transsexual.
As far as your cousin’s friend goes, though, it really depends on asking her. She could just be comfortable in her clothes and hair cut, who knows? It all depends on one’s perception of themselves.

1. It’s not uncommon for 2 people working together to like each other.
2. I find this couple interesting because they come from 2 opposite spectrums of mellow and perfectionist, yet they have a lot of things in common and seem to both have good grades.

you get ny point!!!!!!!! Must every graduate be famous?!?! Also I hate you people for putting down Eli. Yes I am a girl and while I find Eli extremely attrative this is not my reason for liking him. He is unlike any degrassi character I have ever seen. I cannot figure him out and I love this air he gives off like he’s hiding something!!!! I am not a girlfan I just like his character and purpous.
