This week’s group of storylines as a whole have been the weakest of The Boiling Point so far.  But my theory that we’re going to get at least one really good storyline per week still stands strong. 

For the recap you need to have seen the episodes, or at least read (and watched) my episode reviews: 

Reviews
I Just Don’t Know What To Do With Myself (1)
I Just Don’t Know What To Do With Myself (2)
Try Honesty (1)
Try Honesty (2) 

...lol.

Sav and the Dead Hand Concert
I really, really liked Part 1, but the storyline lost its luster in Part 2.  The advantage of Part 1 was the strength of the Sav/Eli/Adam interaction.  In Part 2 they stepped away from that to get to the actual storyline itself, and went in a weird direction with Sav’s conflicting emotions about the entire situation. 

This storyline was one that’s simple and predictable the entire way.  It was the characters who drove the story forward and made things interesting, which is rare that character relationships are so more interesting than the actual plot.  Without it the story is weak, even when they’re getting chased by the police. 

Some people applauded Sav for standing up to his parents, but to me it didn’t seem as big of a deal as it’d normally be because it won’t change anything.  His parents possess a level of strictness that’s ridiculous, so it’s not like him saying “You guys ruined my life so now I can’t be with Anya!!!” would make them say “We’re wrong…you’re right…you can date her now.”
 

 

...lol.

Jenna’s weightloss issues
I remember reading a comment that said they disagreed with my grades of this plot because the message was more relatable than plots in previous weeks.  That may or may not be true, but you still need a vehicle to convey said message.  I stated four times (in 2 written reviews and 2 video reviews) that the reason this plot isn’t good is because Jessica Tyler’s acting was bad. 

I have nothing against Jessica as a person, but Jenna was emotionless and monotone all throughout.  I’m supposed to be convinced she’s desperate to lose weight and that it’s affecting her self esteem, but that’s kinda hard when Jenna delivers her lines like she could care less about what’s happening.

I have zero issues with the actual story, and I’m sure it looked really good on paper.  As a matter of fact, here’s a list of characters who if they’d been given this storyline it would’ve been much better:

Fiona
Ali
Holly J
Anya
Chantay
Riley

...lol.

Fiona and Porcelina
Fiona delivers solid acting like she’s done all season, but the story falls apart at the end.  After Fiona takes Porcelina home it’s like they didn’t know what to do with the plot, so they abruptly ended it.  It’s not like the Fiona/Holly J plot in Breakaway where Holly J steals money, and then Fiona instantly forgives her.  We’re talking about this (Fiona’s issue with loneliness being a huge part of her mental state.  So it’s weird that she sort of suddenly snaps out of it at the end.

...lol.

Holly J and Declan
The underlying theme is my annoyance with Holly J’s behavior all season.  Schoolwork this, Yale that, I <3 Declan so I have to do all of this so we can live happily ever after.  She’s always been a character that’s put herself first.  Even in Seasons 7 and 8 when they established her as the girl who tries too hard to be the resident bitch, her self-serving attitude was who she was.

So watching her established character disappear because of some boy was irritating.  I can’t endorse such a clingy change in attitude from anyone, guy or girl, given that Degrassi couples (no matter how cute or strong they are together) are doomed to breakup eventually.

Part 2 is obviously better than Part 1 because Landon makes a physical appearance on the show, and he and Charlotte have wonderful chemistry.  It’s sad that this could be the last we see of Declan, but it’s good news that we (hopefully) will get the old Holly J back.

...too creepy to lol.

Eli vs. Fitz
This plot goes beyond bullying…it’s about a kid who’s willing to go the distance to punish someone who has screwed him over.  I thought I’d feel bad for Eli in this episode, but I actually started feeling bad for Fitz.

This is the best storyline of the week because Eli, the guy who I just assumed had the standard tv “dark side” to him, is someone who is far more complex and dangerous than I’d ever imagined.  There seems to be two different pro-Eli camps: 1) The “OMG Eli is so hot!!!  <3 <3 <3 <3” people, and 2) the people love Eli’s depth and the drama he brings to this show.

Even more awesome than this plot is the discussion here on this site, with everyone debating his (lack of) mental stability.  Remember the days when all people ever talked about was Adam? :)

You know who could be the biggest beneficiary of a complete Eli meltdown if it happens? Clare.  If anything were to happen to Eli, a plot that focuses on her emotional state after the fact would be simply phenomenal.

 

Every expression on Wesley's face makes me lol.

The 3 Tenners
This plot sucked in Part 1 (it was slow, boring and nothing of importance happened), so I’m sticking to my “F” grade.  Part 2 was a million times better.  I felt it was unnecessary to stretch this plot over two episodes, when it could’ve easily be condensed into one.

I still have the song stuck in my head…that’s how catchy it is.  The initial annoyance with bands on Degrassi is that ever since Goin Down The Road it’s like a requirement that everyone on this show eventually become a musician, or a model, or an actor.

Studz was and still is forgettable to me, and  I would’ve stabbed myself had Connor and Wesley suddenly displayed a talent to play the guitar like Studz did.  But the difference is that these guys aren’t a Downtown Sasaquatch clone, and showed a creativity with their music.  Wesley knowing how to play the flute is totally believable, and I also believe (if he became obsessed with it) that Connor could put together killer beats.

Do you want to know the most AMAZING part about this plot is? Listen to lyrics, and keep in mind that Connor wrote them.  It’s subtle, and absolutely BRILLIANT foreshadowing for his upcoming plot in Tears Dry On Their Own.

      1. Sorry I got cut off.

        I was going to say I think Eli is a great addition to the show. Not only is he incredibly hot (it’s a fact people) but he is deep. He helped Claire assert herself with her assignment and family problems, he also helped Sav and Adam. But he is not a goody two shoes. Why does he need a fake id? It has been established that he has one but not why he has it.

        I hope the tarot cards in the promo don’t actually mean death. The death card can mean many things so I hope they don’t get rid of this exciting character.

        I don’t think Eli is going to be the one who dies this season. I think the death card may have represented something to do with his past. According to Clare the rumors are that he is “obsessed with death,” so the death card could simply stand for said “obsession.” Also I don’t think that they’ve built up the character of Eli enough to kill him off. Although his death would be dramatic I don’t think it’d have as great of an impact as if they were to kill someone off who’s been on the show for a longer time (holly j., Anya, KC etc). Regardless Eli character is itriguing, full of depth and mysterious. and I hate to day but the fact that he’s beautiful is a major plus for him as well.

Munro’s acting is spot-on, and i look forward to more plots from him this season.

    i agree with all your reviews! Jessica Tyler was very bland in this week’s episodes. someone suffering from an eating disorder or body image issue would not come across as passive as Jenna seemed to be. it wasn’t convincing or interesting to watch.

    1. The Jenna storyline just makes me really dislike her character.

      Her character is at a perfectly fine weight, and the fact that she decides to “cheat” and use diet pills, yet continue to eat crappy food just annoys me to no extent.

      Yea, weight loss isn’t easy. It’s a very, very hard and emotional experience. (although I doubt it would be in her case, she fit in those pants just fine, maybe if she took off the jeans… even if she had weight to lose, it’d probably be around 5 pounds, big whoop.) I’ve watched my mother lose over a hundred pounds in the last year, and I’ve watched her work HARD and eat much better. And anyone who just wants to take the easy way out with pills or laxatives is just plain lazy. I know burgers and pasta are delicious, but sometimes you have to choose your priorities. Milkshare, or the body you want?

    Someone tweeted Stephen Stohn “Question :) Is Season 10 just the Fall Semester, or is it a whole year? I hope it’s just Fall.”

    His response was “it goes to Spring Break!”

    So Season 10 only goes to Spring Break! So maybe there will be a Spring Break Movie? But then what about the rest of the school year?? Will Season 11 start with the end of one school year, go into Summer Vacation, and continue into the following school year??

    So many questions, so few answers!

    1. I’m doubtful of this. Spring break may be the time of the school year in which they’re currently writing or shooting at the moment.

      “Greek” was able to pull off such a move, but it was okay because storytelling-wise, they usually focus on the Greek system, not necessarily school in general. And even then, it was still a little awkward if you thought about it too much.

    The only thing of importance in the week was Eli and Fitz plot, for it served as a reminder that there is more to Eli then meets the eye. I think a lot of us where so caught up with Eclare, that the thought of him being anything but a good typical teenager seemed absurd, which is obviously not the case. Now we find ourself questioning his intentions and true motives.
    I like that they are slowly drawing us in not given to much imformation at a time. Although it makes the wait to episode 24 more frustrating. At least it makes things more believable, which makes these 24 episodes so great. They give things time to develope. I just hope that the conclusion to everything will be worth all this suspense and speculation.

This is so exciting that means storylines will have more time to develop because I thought season 10 was gonna include the whole school year 48 episodes for 1 and 1/2 semester. Only 12 episodes left for the boiling point and 36 for the season 10. Yes im counting lol and guys I just thought about something what if my fiona loses her trial against bobby and he decides to attened degrassi I know unlikely and maybe everyone except for holly j doest believe her and calls her drama queen then conor comes along and becomes her friend and then catfight with bianca occurs after she calls fiona and conor freaks lol yes im sticking to my theory.

    and
    b) there was never any explanation for why alli and jenna are friends already! if clare and alli are going to drift apart, it shouldn’t be sudden.

    so i am REALLY hoping for alli to be talking to clare about drew, and maybe clare can say something about how she doesn’t approve of alli’s antics, and alli can make some remark about clare hanging out with eli so much. that would justify them drifting apart a little bit.

    Dizzle
    Reaching Wizzle and Cizzle
    You were always online
    Always on my mind
    I couldn’t even see you
    That’s why love is blind

    When I talk to you I think, “Oh!”
    I should call you up and then “Woah”
    I don’t even know what you look like
    But I’d recognize you on sight
    When I talk to you, I think, “Oh!”
    I should call you up and then “Woah!”
    We’re gonna need to say when
    I’ll never frag you again, because…

    You and I always last, girl
    That’s what keeps me coming back to spawn
    Sometimes you know I get so bored
    Only come to you through my keyboard

    When I talk to you I think, “Oh!”
    I should call you up and then “Woah”
    I don’t even know what you look like
    But I’d recognize you on sight
    When I talk to you, I think, “Oh!”
    I should call you up and then “Woah!”

  21. Okay, well I hope you know what they’re doing with this. MY PREDICTION:They plan to air episodes 25-48 in a weekly format straight through, In 2 blocks of 12. So say, September 3rd-November 19th; January 14th-March 25th(hour-long on the 25th). They air a Spring Break Movie on Friday April 1st. They finish out the Degrassi school year Daily from Early April to Late May. Then they air the next portion, set ENTIRELY in the summer, effectively writing off any fizzled stars. Then Degrassi:A Point Of No Return or whatever airs in a condensed teennick format for two blocks: from September-November 2011, and January-March 2012. I REALLY stand by this theory, and I think it could work.:-) so what do you guys think? Pros? Cons? Flaws? And Joe? If you’re gonna point fingers, make sure your hands are clean.

About the Eli vs Fitz plot, the best thing about that plot that I liked was that (just like what you said) in the beginning I felt bad for Eli but towards the end of the plot that completely changed,as I felt bad for Fitz, particularly the scene where Fitz was hauled away to the police car and Eli standing there with that creepy and sadistic expression on his face.

  26. Ok, so reading through all the comments and debates going back the last few weeks, a big topic that I have seen is Jenna and a pregnancy storyline. I totally think she is, all the signs are pointing to it, but the big thing that is being stated (which I totally agree with) is there is no sign of her and KC having actually done the deed yet. I read a couple of people stating it’s Peter’s, that’s why he is still around, and I was like, huh. Did those two ever interact?

    And then, just about an hour ago (Thank You U-Verse on Demand!), I stumbled across last year’s season finale, Keep on Loving You. The one where Holly J and Declan have sex for the first time, and they say I Love You? It was a TOTALLY forgettable episode, I barely remember watching it, but the subplot was the school musical that Declan was directing. Peter was the lead and Jenna was the love interest.

    Now, high school musicals are a hormone driven thing. So many hook-ups amongst the cast, people cheating on one another… you are with these people day in and day out for hours at a time. It’s a big, almost incestuous, family. It would totally not surprise me in the least if something DID occur then, but what was kept on the DL.

    Think about the timing. It is almost PERFECT. You don’t start experiencing the pregnancy symptoms until you are about 3, maybe 4 months along. We are at the very beginning of the fall term; the musical took place in May-June of the last Spring. Peter is a very charismatic guy, and he has always had the hottest girls (Emma, Darcy, Mia). I could definitely see little “niner” Jenna falling for the charms of such a hottie senior. Yes, she and KC were together, but how together?

    Just something that popped into my head :) I am longtime lurker, but a newbie poster. Who is almost 30 and still loves the awesomeness that is Degrassi (I have seen every episode, and have been watching since 2002.) Love this site!

    1. Oh, one more thing on the timing… since they skewed last season’s episodes around so much, who even knows when KC and Jenna hooked up? Jenna could have already been cast in the musical before KC broke things off with Clare.

    2. I’m not sure I can buy into Peter being the father of Jenna’s baby….Then again, wouldn’t it have to be someone at Degrassi? It may not be as dramatic if the audience didn’t have a connection with the father. My thoughts were that if she were pregnant, that maybe it had something to do with the Youtube music video she was in. I don’t think it’s by accident that the video was playing in a the scenes where she was obsessing about her weight. Could something have happened on the road when she was filming that video? Or was it just a little shameless self-promotion on the part of the actor playing Jenna?

    4. The problem with that theory is, wouldn’t Jenna and Peter’s hook up be featured in an episode? That would have been an interesting plot so I don’t see why they wouldn’t have featured it especially if it foreshadows to a future episode. I think a Peter/Jenna pregnancy would be a lot more random than the viewers finding out Jenna and KC have already had sex. Even though Jenna said she was a “boyfriend stealer” at her old school, I don’t think that implies that she would sleep around, but that’s just my opinion I suppose.

      1. Okay, question. That scene where KC brings Jenna her pants in part 2 of I just don’t know what to do with myself, were we supposed to assume they had sex that night? I kind of got that feeling when he started kissing her neck, the first time I saw that scene. But then I was like no way, because then Jenna starts to have cravings the next day??? It seem unrealistic. Then I watched the scene again, and I was like maybe not. It was just kind of awkward… I just bring up because no one really has stated that interpretation yet. So what did you guys think of that scene?

  27. SAV- His story was great. It was nice to actually see him stand on his own two feet without Anya or Studz by his side. Like Claire, he’s another character the writers have breathed some life into. I love where he’s going. Not to mention Raymond’s acting is great.

    JENNA- I take stories like this very seriously because everyone have either dealt with weight issues or know someone who did/does…BUT! I have to be honest…this story sucked. It was just so predictable. It did nothing to set itself apart from every other teen weight loss story. Seemed like fodder. I hope Jenna gets more stories so we could find out more about her. She’s still quite a mystery.

    FIONA- I’ve already stated my opinion on Fiona. Love her and where she’s going.

    HOLLY J/DECLAN- *Yawns*, it was okay.

    ELI & FITZ- Best story this week.

    DAVE,CONNOR,WESLEY- Why must we have a band every year? Jeez. Dave is on my “irritating as hell” list. He’s sort of a dick to Wes and Connor. Anyway, it was entertaining. Though I think it was Wesley and Connor who shined in this story. I really like them. Lovable dorks.

  29. I think I’ve got a handle on the formula for S10’s ABC plots.

    A Plot is a self contained event. It might have repercussions later, or foreshadowing earlier. But the majority of the plot is contained in the two episodes that it happens in. They are stronger and get a lot of screentime, and generally are used to push the depth of the characters involved. So far this season all the A plots have been for Seniors (probably due to the fact that we lose them this season).

    B Plots are NOT self-contained. They will bleed into other plots and are in some way open-ended. Either they will feed a later plot, or they will leave a feel for the season. They seem to be the more interesting plots of the bunch as they always leave a feeling of more is coming.

    C Plots are not important at all. They are tiny events in the character’s lives you look at and learn something about the characters involved. They are a bit more fun, a bit of lead up for later events, but they can just stand on their own as a tiny bit of light heart compared to the A plot. While they lead to events later on in the season, they don’t lead as directly as B plots do.

    While there are a few rough plots that just don’t work as well as they should. Most of the time this system is working out very well for the stories.

    1. I’m mixed, the thing is that not all people react to weight issues the same way. The issue with Jenna’s reactions is a bit of a writing fumble (not really about how, but who). The only character shown commenting on her weight was K.C. And of course it was standard relationship miss-communication, a mainstay of comedy writing.

      Her reactions would be more believable if we saw more than KC commenting on her figure in any way. Alternatively they could have had hinting toward this in a few of the previous plots by having her weight come up in one of her earlier B/C plots. Like her jealousy of the other members on the Power Squad.

      Her reactions would be believable if they showed us more of Jenna’s world. Where everyone comments on her weight (no matter how imagined some comments are).

  36. Okay, I completely agree with the grades for these episodes(especially where it talks about Jessica Tyler’s flat acting… except I enjoyed Sav’s “standing up” to his parents because that was one plot I could COMPLETELY relate to) I still think the strongest plot was definitely Eli vs. Fitz, because it opened up so many questions and doubts.
    I like the character of Eli because he’s so complex in a different way than the regular t.v. “misunderstood bad boy”, he seems so sweet, genuine, and funny, but you can’t help but sense that mysterious kind of eerie vibe he gives off, which I think is pretty freakin awesome, to be blunt. You don’t want to question his motives, but you have to! I’m really looking forward to how his plot unravels throughout the season and how Clare gets pulled into it, also I can’t wait to learn a it more about his past.
    So, I think I’ve made my point: Eli is a great character(his good looks are just an added bonus ;D)

    I’m of the firm belief that Degrassi exists for two reasons a.) enjoy it when it’s good, b.) make fun of it when it’s bad. Both are fun, but only one isn’t a waste of your time.

    Lately, it’s been surprisingly good, only snide comment worthy when Jessica Tyler tries to mime anal-leakage. Priceless.

    Anyway, it’s nice to see that the writers are finally beginning to understand that a majority of us are here for the characters themselves, not their crazy, hormonally driven bullshit. If you identify with a character, their problems become your problems. You can appreciate it on a larger scale.

    Plus, with the addition of new powerhouse characters and the fleshing-out of old, stale characters, everything seems less two dimensional and boring.

    Oh, Boiling Point, you pretty much salvaged the show.

  44. I love Eli. He is like a tribute to Ellie, who I also LOVED. I really like this storyline with him and Fitz. He is a smart character, unlike some others on the show, and he adds alot to the show. I get excited when I know he will be in the next episodes because the writers wrote his character really well, and Munro Chambers delivers the lines PERFECTLY! I don’t think he is mentally unstable, I just think he is different than any character we have seen on Degrassi. If you want mentally unstable, look at Craig, seriously.
    Also I think EClare is one of the best couples EVER on Degrassi. They have a real chemistry. They are both interested in each other, and not just sleeping with each other, like we have seen in multiple other relationships.I also love how they are taking it slow. They are actually getting to know each other before jumping into a relationship. I hope the writers don’t screw them up, because so far they are doing an amazing job.
    Also, this whole thing with Eli committing suicide is just silly. Just because he got the Death card, doesnt mean he will commit suicide, also it doesnt seem like his character would do such a thing. The Death card in tarot, doesnt usually mean you will die soon or anything, it can mean tons of things. Or maybe it was just showing us his obessession with death, if he even has one.
    I think Eli is an amazing character so far, and he is definitely making the show better.

      5. My guess is its a budget concern. Every penny counts even if the camera switch helps matters out. At least now they changed out the horrible S8 shot of the Niner quartet that was so impossibly out of date. They also seem to be breaking the shots down to only hold 2 characters at average (four in the Adam – Bianca – K.C. – Snake shot). Probably to make it easier to shift things around.

        If evidence holds true, they will only change shots that must change (cast changes) and shots from every other season shift. Meaning S11, in theory, the shots to change will be Peter and Sav, Declan and Fiona, Holly J and Leia, Chantay and Anya, Riley, Jenna and Dave.

        If the character hasn’t changed too much the shot remaining isn’t too big a problem (the remaining shots for S10 from S9 all mostly sit right. Dave and Jenna haven’t gone through much. The Coynes are still twins. Holly J is still looking to be in charge, and Leia gets no respect or screentime). It’s only something really jarring like some of the S5 sequences that get to me…

        However, this season seems to be doing a great job. I think that has something to do with there being twice as many episodes this season.

      3. Barring character death, the change over to S11 (or whenever the cast matches up to the next school year). There are seven characters we could lose. Currently we have four background recurrings that could be given main character positions (Owen, Fitz, Zane, and the very dim cheerleader). Even discounting the cheerleader that means only about four new faces to bring in.

        It won’t be a repeat of S8, which was caused by S7’s poorly handled college storylines draining screentime to introduce new background cast that could be prepped for spaces in the main cast. If we got to see more of Blue being a charming lecherous artist. Or Leia’s background lies… the characters might have mattered a little.

      1. It kinda fits if they’re talking about the Trust Company song Stronger and not the Kanye one (which I dont think they are since All Falls Down is a Kanye song)

        Can you save me
        Will you fail me now
        It’s almost over cause you’ve faded out, again
        Will you break me
        When you’re holding me down
        I will escape you and I’ll

        I’ll push you closer to the ground
        Cause you’re the one that’s going down

        And I am, stronger now
        Since you crawled away
        You’re so far away
        And I am, stronger now
        Since you crawled away, since you crawled away

        Never gonna save me
        You just shut me out
        And now it’s over cause I’m stepping out, again
        Never gonna break me
        Just try and hold me down
        I will escape you and I’ll

        I’ll push you closer to the ground
        Cause you’re the one that’s going down

        And I am, stronger now
        Since you crawled away
        You’re so far away
        And I am, stronger now
        Since you crawled away, since you crawled away

        You want to tear me down
        You want to hold me down
        You can’t control me now
        You cannot take me out
        You cannot save me now
        Because I’m stronger now

        And I am, stronger now
        Since you crawled away
        You’re so far away
        And I am, stronger now
        Since you crawled away, since you crawled away [repeat]

        You want to tear me down
        You want to hold me down
        You can’t control me now
        You cannot take me out

  60. I didn’t like the Jenna plot because I just don’t like Jenna. If it were someone else, I might actually have enjoyed it. And I was also bugged by the fact that Jenna and Alli were just suddenly friends again. Maybe it’s because Alli’s becoming even more shallow in Season 10 and needs equally shallow people to hang with…

    And I personally liked the Holly J. plot because I thought that the sudden change in her character thanks to Declan *was* believable. Plenty of girls do hitch themselves to their boyfriends, making them do a complete personality 180. But as sad as I am to see Declan/Holly J. go, breaking up with him was a mentally healthy mood on Holly J.’s part.

    I agree with your opinion on Part One of the 3 Tenners, except I extend it to the whole plot. As in, the entire thing was slow, boring, and nothing interesting happened.

I think Alli and Jenna have more in common then Alli and Clare. Either way, Clare’s absences is very noticable.

      1. That’s something that’s really been bugging me, as well! Clare and Alli were together in the first four episodes, and Alli was cheering Clare on when she was telling Jenna off about the boob job rumours.

        However, I guess the increased Jenna/Alli interactions are implying that Clare is spending more time with Eli and Adam, and since those two aren’t exactly school royalty, Alli would probably want to keep her distance from Clare, as well.

Drew and Alli were boring, and I hate the idea of Holly J and Sav as a couple. Their flirting seemed rushed and random. And if we’re talking about random things that make no sense on Degrassi – when did Alli stop talking to Clare and start talking to Jenna and KC again? I thought she hated both of them, but it seems like she’s always talking with Jenna now. As far as we know, she and Clare are still friends, but then why aren’t they ever appearing together? Hopefully My Body is a Cage (I will NEVER call it Stronger) will make up for it. And who knows, maybe part 2 is better. I don’t watch leaked episodes.

    Part 2 was definitely better than Part 1. I know others think Sav + Holly J is stupid and rushed and all but I actually think they’re cute together. They have chemistry. Even in past episodes, like I Just Don’t Know What To Do With Myself, they seemed to click well in conversations.

    The whole Drew and Alli think was really cute in my opinion. I loved the little skit Drew made up with the other football guys. And it was nice to see Drew interacting with his sibling, Adam.

Everything with Holly J is either about college or a guy.

      Sav and Holly J do have chemistry though. I can’t help but feel a little bad for Anya. I wonder why she ever became friends with Holly J at all.

  86. Hey! I know this is sligtly off topic in comparision to what is currently being dicussed. but I found this on yahoo answers and though it was very clever!

    1) Sad to say Holly J and Declan are most likely not getting back together. Even though they said they were going on a “break,” chances are the break will be permanant…especially considering the fact that she will be getting with Sav in the episode that is premireing tonight.
    2a) It’s blatantly obvious that someone is going to die. It’s not going to be the death of “something” it will be the death of someone. Although the degrassi promos this season have lead us to believe things will be more dramatic then they actually are, I sincerely doubt that they would let us down with the lockdown. I’m also suspecting that it will not be a murder (we had one with JT in season 6, i doubt they’d have another one so soon), a shooting (seriously, what are the odds of having two shootings at a high school over the course of only 6 years inbetween), a bomb threat (I think this would be too far-fetched, even for degrassi), my theory is that the lockdown will be caused by a suicide. Think about so many characters (JT, Darcy, Craig? correct me if I’m wrong) have attempted suicide but no one has ever suceeded. This would be a major event in degrassi history.
    2b) I’m not sure who dies. I believed at first it would be Liea but they haven’t built up her character enough. If they killed her off, it wouldn’t be as emotional if they were too kill off someone like Sav (not to say is the one who dies). I don’t think the death of Leia would move anybody enough (sorry to Leia fans). I also doubt it’s going to be Eli. That would just be a stupid move. Think about it. They JUST introduced his character this season. Even though he is an extremly strong character and killing him off would be very emotional it wouldn’t make sense. It’d be too soon. They still have to build up his past. I think the death card in the video had nothing to do with the lockdown. I think it had to do with Eli’s so-called “obsession” with death and his past. I wish I knew who they were going to kill off this season. My best guess at the moment (and I am probably completely wrong but who knows) is KC. His character has been extremly unstable since last season and he’s also been hanging out with the bad crowd lately. It just makes sense.
    3) I’m not sure if Jenna is pregnant or not. But the implications are there. I guess we’re going to find out for sure next week.
    4) I thought the lockdown was the end of the summer season, but now I’m beginning to think it will be the season 10 finale.

    Hope this helped!

  93. SPOILER ALERT—YDKMN P2

    I just watched the episode and it is really good. I love Drew and Alli together, Drew is so hot. I have realized a pattern. This was pretty much what Alli did with Johnny, he didnt want to be with a niner, she acts stupid (as in too pushy for a relatioship) and then he realizes that he likes her and makes it official with her. I just dont get what Alli keeps doing to these boys, she ALWAYS gets what she wants. But my concern is that Alli is in a relationship with Drew now, what happens when she goes off to film HOW TO BE INDIE, are they going to make her go away or something like on a academic vacation (thats the only thing I can really see) but what will happen to their relationship.

    And everyone asks why Alli and Jenna are all of a sudden biffs, I think this part comes from the fact that Jenna hasnt done anything to Alli and eventhough Jenna stole K.C., Clare is not the kind of person to tell Alli not to hang with Jenna. Also Alli needs someone who knows about her (i.e. the Johnny thing) when Clare isnt around (working on her yearbook stuff and with Eli and Adam).

    Also with Jenna and K.C. it is EXTREMELY obvious that they are having sex, eventhough its not a plot, which it would be a VERY boring plot…it is clear from the public affection that they show. The diet pill episode was one example but this episode really shows there intimacy. I think she is preggers aswell and K.C. is the father.

    But I am confused about Bianca the whole BF stealing, I wonder when that comes into play.

    And as for Conner, that was really wierd that woman, but maybe it wasnt her.

    And last but not least Holly J and Sav, I like that they are kinda each others rebounds, it was bound to happen…they have been spending alot of time together on Student Council, I didnt see Chemistry before but I do start to see some now. I just wonder if Anya is going find out and how that will be. Declan will also be heartbroken. This could get messy, but at they say—Its THE BOILING POINT…it has to be building up and its about to get messy

    4. Bianca, the girl who makes boyfriends disappear and dances weirdly, could be throwing a wrench in the Alli/Drew relationship going by writeups of later episodes. I swear I saw a pic of her and Adam dancing – maybe she makes her own “boyfriend” disappear by exposing Adam as a transgender.

    5. I’m starting to love Sav. Raymond’s acting is improving sooo much. This episode was awesome.

      So Jenna is the pregnant one, eh? I guess I can see KC as the father. I mean, granted, they did almost have sex the night they got together, until Carson walked in on them. And here lately they have gotten more intimate with each other. I guess it’s just hard to imagine.

  94. I really agree with your grades this week. I think the key factor was the same for the best and the worst plot this week: acting ability.

    What made Eli so damn creepy in his subplot? The fact that Munro nailed every scene. He’s an impressively subtle actor. He thinks through everything he does and yet instead of coming off as stiff he’s wonderfully natural. His deadpan look as Fitz is taken away by the cops? Perfect. If anything this plot just proved that Munro Chambers is an incredible asset to the show.

    On the flip side Jessica Tyler really made Jenna’s eating disorder plot bad. I could not agree more that she was flat and stiff in every scene. The first time I watched it I was a little confused as to if this was a purposeful acting choice on her part. But a re watch made it obvious it wasn’t. I agree with you, I’m sure this looked better on paper. It’s a real shame because there’s actually some great material and some great lines in this plot just didn’t work the way they should have.

    In my book I had to take some point off for so obviously plugging Jessica Tyler’s music video too. Maybe the writer who thought that one up should take a page out of the Munro Chambers’s Book.

  95. You Don’t Know My Name Part 1-

    I wasn’t sure about this Holly J & Sav thing at first, but now I’m 110% convinced this will be great. Charlotte’s and Raymond’s chemistry was so electric that I could totally buy their attraction- even if it was a bit random.

    We all know Charlotte is a brilliant actress, but Raymond has also stepped it up. I never would have thought that Sav would go through such a huge transformation. He went from being pointless and annoying to well rounded and lovable. This story could expand and affect even more characters in a positive way. Declan could find out about Sav and set out to do whatever it takes to win Holly J back and goes a little too far. Maybe now we can see Declan’s “crazy” side like we did with Fiona. This would give his character some much needed spark.

    Alli, come on. She went through all of this just for a dumb dance? I don’t think Alli even really likes Drew. She just likes his looks and the fact he’s currently the most popular guy at the school. He’s just a shiny new toy to her. An accessory she has wrapped around her arm while walking down the halls. She doesn’t even know him.

    I actually felt sorry for Drew. You could tell his mother is overbearing, maybe even mentally abusive. There has to be a reason why he’s so quick to lash out if he even *thinks someone is second guessing his intelligence.

    This goes to show that you can be “the big man on campus” and still feel insecure and alone.

    Connor’s story was okay. I guess. Not much to go on.

    About to watch part 2.

    1. to me, I think Sav’s gone through the “transformation” that they hyped Danny to be going to, except it makes more sense and it actually comes off as a natural progression/maturation ,instead of “Hey i was the comedy relief last season, but now im smooth and normal. take me seriously” with Danny.

Without the relationship with holly j there is no point for the writers to keep him around so it will still be a huge shock to the fans but not a huge loss for the show

    I thought it was cute how Drew put all his cards on the table and was honest with Alli. And I was right! His mother does call him dumb. Very sad. BUT, while I want to love this story I can’t help but think of Declan. Declan was a player who shielded his heart until he met Holly J and fell in love and blahblahblah, I just hope Drew doesn’t lose his edge. I think he should still struggle with the feelings of being tied down instead of becoming a perfectly faithful boyfriend overnight like Declan did. I just don’t buy that.

    It’s obvious Fiona will be trying her best to break Sav and Holly J up. I can’t wait until Anya finds out. She already suspects something is off. I also love how HJ and Sav are taking it slow and not all “OMGZ! LETS GETZ MARRIED EVEN THOUGH WE JUSTZ STARTED GOING OUT!”. Once again, awesome story.

    Connor’s was lame. But I’m sure it’ll lead to something else in the future

  104. I have two things that I’m confused on.
    I just opened up the guide on my TV (I have Time Warner, and I live in the USA, so I’m looking at Teennick) and this is the description for Thursday’s episode.
    “‘My Body Is a Cage’ Adam sacrifices his own happiness by going back to being Gracie to make everyone else happy.”
    One – I thought Teennick had renamed it Stronger? I’ll be really happy if that’s not the case.
    Two – I saw a different description where his name was Chelsea, so I’m just wondering which is right.

    1. Oh I completely forgot about this…Abby Ho (the show’s Digital Media Coordinator) told me that Chelsea was the original name for Adam’s female persona, but that they had changed it since then. She didn’t say what the new name was (I’m assuming it’s Gracie), but yeah it turns out TV Guide, MSN, etc. posted older versions of the episode descriptions.
