[WARNING: THIS EPISODE REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS]

youtube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEpXs0PmIrc
MAIN PLOT: Adam must choose between making her family happy, or making herself happy.
Adam’s identity is known by the entire school, and he’s gotta deal with the reprecussions; he now must be escorted to his classes by a teacher, and he has to use the special needs restroom.
The worst part is that Bianca refuses to be near him, let alone talk to him. And his mom is STILL on his case about being Gracie for his grandmother’s visit. Adam reluctantly goes back to being Gracie, and decides to make the change permanent to appease everyone.
Everyone but himself that is. And with that, Gracie returns to self-mutilation, leaving burn marks on “her” arms. Clare catches Adam and informs him that he doesn’t have to change who he is for anyone.
Eventually Adam is able to convince his mom and his family that Gracie will no longer exist, and they have to accept that. Jordan Todosey is nothing short of amazing, and I expected nothing less. Throwing in the aspect of Gracie being someone who burns themself was a shocking surprise that hit home how deep Adam’s struggle is. It’s a fantastic plot, and I hope that I hope is revisted in the future.

SUBPLOT 1: Anya finds out her mom has cancer.
Everyone might have been crying over Adam, but I cried during this episode because of Anya. She delivered a great emotional performance. Anya learns that her mom has cancer, and she doesn’t know how to deal. She’s also upset that her parent’s are behaving so upbeat despite the news.
The scene with Anya setting off the volcano was ok, but for me the best part of this plot was when she told Holly J about her mom’s cancer. I lost it. I also loved how Holly J told Anya about her secret relationship with Sav, and Anya went about her business as if Holly J hadn’t said anything (because everything seems so insignificant when you’re dealing with something as huge as cancer). Adam’s performance may be the best of this episode, but Anya’s is definitely a close second.
–
SUBPLOT 2: Dave plans to get back at Ms. Oh.
I don’t have much to say about this plot except for that it’s much better than Part 1. Instead of trying to impress Ms. Oh, Dave resorts to being a pain in her neck. However, Dave’s attempt to be annoying by wearning no pants to class fall on deaf ears, and Ms. Oh barely reacts.
Dave, Connor and Wesley find out Ms. Oh is depressed after a breakup, and that leads Dave to apologize. The times when I’ve liked Dave this season are the ones when he was behaving sincerely. For instance, when he confessed his feelings to Alli and, in this episode, apologized to Ms. Oh. But anytime he tries to be comedy relief this year he fails miserably; he tries too hard and comes off ans annoying. That version of Dave I can live without.
Kary's Degrassi Blog 
Best degrassi episode of the season. Seriously, great acting in the two main plots and I could actually feel pain for both Adam and Anya. Loved it, not so much of Dave’s plot, it was weak compared to the drama that was unfolding in the other two plots but nonetheless, great job.

The best episode by far. I agree Dave’s performance is in no way as interesting as when he is being sincere as I said in a last comment he reminds me of JT he wants to do good but at times is stupid to realize how to do so. Not that I didn’t love JT I just think Dave’s version of the character is weak and should be taken in a different direction.
Jordan Todosey went from a tom-boyish girl on My Life With Derek to a handsome young man and a beautiful young girl. Seeing photos of her in a dress is strange when all I can visualize is Adams hat and baggy clothes. I’m excited to see where this transgender character goes and I hope Degrassi will further follow his life and his romances to follow.
Anya is annoying but not as annoying as Leia that dumb b!atch.

In the volcano scene her actions spoke more but she really knew how to make you feel sad for her and when she ignored what holly j said her acting blew me away loved how her voice was breaking. Adam`s plot was an a+ in both parts and im loving the claire/eli/claire friendship. I can’t wait til adam gets a gf to see how eli and claire react and if they like/hate her should be interesting. I laughed a little inside when the teacher said “so is it gracie?” bianca “or trannie?”. I know she was being a bitch but I can’t help but love bitches like bianca who agrees?

Okay so basically the promo line “forget everything you thought you knew about Degrassi” is soooo right.
I really thought I could predict more like I used to.
First I noticed it with Eli’s story. I figured once he gave Fitz the fake ID, Fitz would get in trouble and beat him up. But the twist of Eli’s dark side was great!
And this episode gave me the same feeling. I had seen the pics of the marks on Adam’s arms and figured he probably hurt himself. I expected it to be cutting (which didn’t bother me, it’s not like Ellie’s the only person to do it). But when Gracie pulled the hairclip out and used the lighter and then burned herself…. my jaw dropped. Jordon Todosey is an amazing actress.
I actually felt weird seeing Adam dressed as a girl. Jordan Todosey really made me see Adam as a boy dressed in girls clothes.
Adam did not disappoint. And the subplots did not drag the episode down.
Great job Degrassi. I’m proud to be a fan of such an awesome show :)

Regarding the new Shark video, the only thing new is that at the end when she’s singing on the stage there is a flower near a tombstone and she grabs it and finishes the song. I’m sure a million people have it uploaded, so I won’t post it.
Now my thoughts on this week’s episodes, I really liked it and I was surprised that I did. I found it went a little fast and I kinda wish we had more episodes to build up like people questioning it before the whole school knew. Plus, I don’t see the situation with Bianca being something that would happen in the middle of the school. I don’t get how there were no teachers walking around to stop that. The tossing I can kind of get them getting away with because fights and what not do happen and it happened so quickly that it really could have been hard to stop. Was it right? no. Also, I think she should have put a tank over the binding. It would have made Bianca look really stupid to rip his shirt open and bam just some tanks. I agree that Bianca is a major beeyotch, but its about time we had some bullies. Now I want the return of the ravine.
Oh some speculations….I think it will be Riley behind the lockdown. I think that Fitz/Bianca will want to get back at Adam and Drew respectively and Owen will have an intrest in that as well has hurting Riley. By proxy, Alli and Zane get drawn into it. And bam lockdown. What would cause school uniforms? not a mere shooting- if so we would have seen them since season 4- also causing the students to remain apart wouldn’t just be because Sav/Holly J were caught making out. Season 3 Sean made out in class with Amy. But if a student were caught harming another student while unsupervised, then yeah. And I really think that the money scene with Alli/Owen is a swerve. I kinda think he’s going to tell her about ppl paying to hook up with her to butter up, show her the money, and then attack her but give her the money so he can tell the cops she asked for it. I could be wrong thought so yeah.

ok,leia. SERIOUSLY? wow that was one of the most annoying scenes ever because of her-“then she died.” shes SO stupid. anyways, anya’s plot was equally as amazing. i loved how both the main plot and one of the subplots were dramatic because a lot of times the subplots are just there for comic relief. samantha’s acting was great, as always, and i loved the volcano scene and the scene where she told holly j. i noticed when she just blew off the comment about sav and holly j too and it made me really happy that she didnt even respond to that because that obviously should not be important to her.
dave’s plot was nothing special but it was much better than pt 1. i agree that at least he showed sincerity rather than just try to joke around the whole episode but the whole plot was nothing close to the two others.
im SOOOO excited for next week too. eli and clare, riley and owen, jenna and her pregnancy, AND conner and a creeper from online?!? this will be so good. if anyone has the link for tears dry on their own, please post :)

I’ve always found it funny that Degrassi parents never have any personality traits that their kids inherit: they can have the feistiest kids, but the parents themselves are always played as passive and dull. This is why it was refreshing to see that Anya’s parents are so adorably dorky. Their mannerisms actually made me believe that she takes after them, as she’s a bit of a quirky dork, herself. Same goes for Drew’s mom (I’m assuming that Mama Torres is Drew’s mom, as her complexion and dark hair match his, whereas Papa Torres more closely resembles Adam.): she was shown to have quite the temper when the football team messed with Drew, and that same fire appeared when Fitz and Owen bullied Adam.
LikeLike
Nina your wrong….Adam is the moms son
LikeLike
It isn’t stated one way or another, but if you look at skin tones. Drew and Mom share a darker tone than Adam and Dad do.
Also the two parents got married when the kids were young (no exact age, but I figure 6-7 for Adam). Which means a little under a decade of bonding. So even if they aren’t blood related Mrs. Torres could be bogged down in the ‘darling daughter is not what I wanted’ role.
I do wish that one of the two scenes with Momma Torres was replaced with Daddy Torres. To see what his opinion of the Adam|Gracie situation was. He didn’t seem all that happy to see Gracie at dinner, just shocked.
LikeLike
It’s never stated outright, but I thought MBIAC was heavily implying that the mom is Adam’s blood parent, since she was having SO much trouble giving up her daughter, while the father seemed less bothered by it.
Although it’s still a good point! And, hey, it’s not like a parent CAN’T influence a child just ’cause they’re not related :P
LikeLike
A lot of people seem to be confused by how the parents/kids are related. Just because we didn’t see much of Mr. Torres doesn’t mean that he isn’t concerned about the ordeal. It makes sense that the story was shown from a mother’s point of view. It’s implied that the parents married when the kids were still quite young, so it seems that both parents view both children as their own, and both kids see both Mr. and Mrs. Torres as their true parents. Mrs. Torres was also very much involved and concerned with the safety and well-being of Drew in 99 Problems, so she may just as likely be his biological mother. If she is Drew’s biological mother, she could still feel a mother/daughter bond with Gracie, as Gracie was the only daughter she ever knew. It’s tricky, though! The fact that Mrs. Torres was also calling the kids’ grandmother “Mom”, even though she looked a lot like Mr. Torres, made it even more confusing! I didn’t know whether she was calling her mother-in-law “Mom”, as many people do, or calling her own mother “Mom”. I wonder if we’ll find out more about Drew’s and Adam’s other parents? Assuming they’re both alive, the kids must have some knowledge of their whereabouts, and/or relationships with them.

I think with all the focus on Adam and Anya’s plots, the real purpose for “Dave’s” (and the quotes will be explained shortly) was lost.
For 9 Seasons we’ve had one teacher, Snake. And due to that we’ve known everything we can about him and his life. His class is now being taught by Miss Oh. She needed to be introduced to us a bit more. Enter Dave, professional teacher’s pet. We needed to see that Miss Oh wasn’t just a replacement for Simpson without a new personality. Showing us how she dealt with all of Dave’s antics was a good way to gauge her personality.
Now, back to the plots where Degrassi gets REAL!
I loved the episode, the only thing that was missing from it was some way to gauge how long events were going on in it. My guess is that Adam went back to Gracie for about a week. Due to them starting and finishing Ballroom dancing, and how many burns Adam had. However I’d wish there was a confirmation on the flow of time for this one (in both dramatic plots), as it makes the effect stronger.
Originally I was going to suggest that Adam’s plot be extended an episode, but it wasn’t really needed. It’d stagnate if it was made into a three ep sequence.
Anya’s had the similar problem of time flow. It’s hard to guess how long was going on, but if we knew how long it’d make the effects of her breakdown more… effective (I can’t think of a better word, sorry).
This isn’t anything against the acting or the dialog, those were all spot on. Just a bit of storytelling issue I had. I’d have graded just as highly as anyone else, I loved this ep.

Come on, if any episode needed a dash of humour, it was this one!
To date, only four episodes of Degrassi have made me choke up/cry. The first was Ellie’s scene with her mother in Anywhere I Lay My Head, where she shows her mother what she’s been doing to herself. That scene hits particularly close to home nowadays, as I myself continue to struggle with self-destruction of a different kind, though my mother isn’t nearly as bothered by it as Ellie’s mother was.
The second was the scene in The Bitterest Pill when the video of JT playing with Bella was shown.
The third was in Jane Says, where Jane goes to lie down in the nurse’s room, curls up, and starts to sob.
The fourth was this episode, which managed to do it twice. The first was when Anya told Holly J, “My mom has cancer…”, and the second was the very last scene in which Drew puts his arm around Adam.
Both parts of My Body Is A Cage were wonderful, but the second part in particular was just laden with emotion and powerful acting. If the rest of the season is half as good as these two episodes were, then season 10 will no doubt be the strongest season, yet.

And you CAN blame Jessica Tyler… even if the script called for her to say “crap,” she still could have ad-libbed like a good actor and been like “Crap, oh my god oh my god” and started hyperventilating or something. As it is it seems to be like “Crap. Okay. Whatever.” … of course, that’s only judging from the promo and maybe she will do more than just say crap but… I don’t know. Jessica is seriously lacking in the acting department.

Just cuz everyone knows about Adam doesn’t mean its all sunshine now.
He’ll still have to deal with people already knowing, being accepted, coming out to others, dating, or even regular stuff like getting into regular gym (he prob still hates remedial) and using the bathroom (we know he hates using the special needs one), along with the transphobia.
I think riley is just private though. when he’s not in football, his only friends are peter, zane, and anya, but even then he doesn’t seem to hang out with them much. he just like alone time i guess.

That’s ALWAYS bothered me about Riley! I totally get that some characters are not as social and prefer their privacy (kinda like Leia, I got why she was never around) but Riley’s supposed to be Big Man on Campus…and yet we never see him? He never gets a subplot and he’s never a supporting character in anyone else’s episode. It’s like he seriously has no real friends aside from Zane and I guess Anya (I only know they’re close from their twitters haha) and he can’t be 100% dedicated to the football team all year long. It’s not a big deal but it’s always bugged me how “under the radar”/completely unseen he is when he’s supposed to be one of the hottest and most popular guys at the school.
LikeLike
I’m curious about what they’ll do with Adam as well. It would be hard to imitate the physical transition aspect of being transgendered (voice changes, hair growth, surgery) without the actress herself actually going through it! Ha ha.
But I’m hoping they’ll have some sort of romantic plot with him, maybe finding a nice, open-minded girl. That would be great. I’m a trans guy too and when I first heard they were going to have an FTM on Degrassi I was really excited, but I feared that they would de-sexualize him and make him single forever.
I could easily see them doing a plot with him about maybe getting hormones illegally from some online pharmacy or something (which can be unsafe, especially for FTMs because we usually inject our hormones).

this was the best episode all season. i was in tears when clare found adam burning himself. i LOVED how she said, “Adam” instead of Gracie. I’ve always loved Clare, but this episode made me love her 10x more as a character. As for the burning thing, I think it was genius. Like Adam said, he needed some way to take out his anger since no one else would listen to his feelings.
The scene with the volcano brought me to tears. Poor Anya. I’m glad she’s finally getting a story line besides Sav’s on & off girlfriend. Unfortunately, I think that Degrassi writers are going to have Anya’s mom die from cancer. The only character’s parent whom has died from cancer is Spinner and we weren’t really along in the journey with that. I also loved how when Holly J came after Anya, she didn’t even care about the remark about her and Sav. That shows that he is literally the last thing on her mind.
This is a bit off topic, but since when are Alli & Jenna such good friends? You would think Alli would despise her for what she did to Clare. (Stealing KC and spreading that rumor). Maybe Alli is just desperate for friends considering Clare is getting involved in school activites.
As for next week’s episodes, I’m really excited.
I can’t wait for the Eclare story :) I feel so bad for Eli. I can imagine the guilt he’s been carrying. Jenna is most definetly pregnant, but I bet it’s not with KC’s kid. Like the promo said, “The girl who doesn’t know her own secret.” Maybe she has been pregnant for a while. She HAS been gaining weight and had those weird cravings quite early after her and KC made love. Jessica Tyler needs to seriously step up her acting, because I’m losing respect for her character more than I have before.
Sometimes it seems like they only casted her because she can sing and she’s a pretty blonde.
Idk, I would seriously love the writer’s if they made her child not KC’s. That would just be icing on the cake.
Ohh, and is it just me or did I feel a MASSIVE spark when Bianca & Adam were dancing? I literally felt little butterflies in my stomach. I mean, just the way they were looking at each other was wow. I really kind of wanted them to end up together. They would have made a hot couple. But I hate Bianca for saying, “I’ve seen freaks like you on Oprah.”

3. LOVED Leia’s hair
Anyway, back to the episode… I was so disappointed that Adam never showed “Grams” his real self. I thought that after he went back to being Adam he would but oh well haha This plot was emotional and I loved the ending when Drew goes, “Your not ready to burn it yet?” and Adam goes, “It’s still me.” I thought that was so sweet:)
Next, the Anya plot was reaaaaally emotional too:( Leia is just… bugging me lately. It seems like everything she says makes me dislike her more. She is NOT acting like a good friend, IMO. I’m happy they found her mom’s cancer early though. That made me happy:D hahaha
Dave’s plot didn’t annoy me as much as part 1. I thought it was sweet how he went to talk to Mrs. Oh and then tried to suck up at the end. lol

I respect everyone’s opinions, and I want to point out that I have criticized the character of Jenna and the acting of Jessica Tyler before, but I kind of feel like everyone is piling on from the last episode in which she had a major plot. I think because Kary noted his opinion of her acting in his review, the power of suggestion has influenced everyone’s opinion of her acting. Now I agree that the acting wasn’t stellar with the diet pill storyline, but I actually feel that Jenna’s emotions did not have to be super intense to portray it accurately. It wasn’t perfect, but I think Jessica Tyler projected a mix of embarrassment and self-consciousness that was believable for the plot of a girl wanting to lose some pounds. Since it wasn’t exactly Emma’s eating disorder of season 5, the emotions didn’t need to be as extreme for me to buy her acting in the episode. Sure, there could be more subtlety in her acting, but we have to remember that that was her first real main plot and that she has greatly improved from her first appearance in Just Can’t Get Enough, when she was just sunny all the time, with no variation. I think, for me personally, I’m going to reserve judgement for this coming week. On a side note, I understand why people think that Jenna and Alli hanging out is weird, but I also want to point out that Clare seems to be over KC and it would almost be silly for Alli to hate Jenna. Why are they friends? Like pointed out previously in other posts, Clare is hanging out with Eli and Adam, while Alli is not really hanging with that group. Both have boyfriends on the football teams. Alli has already stated her desperation for friends. But honestly I don’t see a problem with it primarily because in high school, relationships change quite a bit. I know from my own personal experience, that the people that I was close with in 9th grade, weren’t exactly the people I was hanging out with senior year. I also don’t think this is the end of Alli and Clare. They are just growing as people and interested in different things. I think it’s natural for even best friends to grow apart. Sorry for the long post haha.

I agree with everything you said about Alli and Clare’s friendship…However, Alli DID hate Jenna in the episode where Clare gets back at her for the rumor. :/ Alli got over that hatred WAY too quickly. Alli and Jenna should have at least had a tiny scene where they reconciled. The writers also should have included a line (from either Alli OR Clare) mentioning that the other has been spending a lot of time with other people, so they haven’t been spending time together. That way, at least, it would seem more believable that they don’t see each other much. My best friends in 9th grade were NOT my friends in 12th, either, but at least the separation was slow, not instantaneous.

Like they can hang out with other people, but in the end they still love each other.
Alli is absolutely horrible this season, but clearly Clare cares about her. If they weren’t best friends, Clare wouldnt have danced with her and have Alli embarrass herself at the football game. Now THAT’S friendship, cause Alli sucks.

4. How about this as an explanation for the lockdown:
As all enjoy the dance Bianca, Owen and Fitz devise a plot to get back at Adam and Drew because as seen in this episode if Bianca went to the office one more time there would be consequences. Their plan of revenge is to kidnap Drew (take him down to the boiler room via Bianca) under the lure of her saying they have Adam. However Owen is down stairs supposedly “wooing” Alli into prostitution when Drew sees Alli with Owen their relationship is over thus hitting Drew where it hurts, due to him finally saying girlfriend boyfriend to see his girlfriend cheat drives him nuts and he leaves the dance. Alli in fact was being assaulted by Owen and Drew has no idea. Eli see’s Adam being led down to the boiler room and follows close behind as they (Fitz and Bianca) start beating up Adam Eli hit’s Fitz over the back of the head with something knocking him out. At this point Clare unsure of what Eli has done and why tells Mr. Simpson who calls for a Lockdown until things are sorted out. As police enter the building they find Holly J and Sav and tell them to get outside immediately, as they continue searching the school they find a beaten Adam and a raped Alli. As both are taken in the ambulance to the hospital thus leading the pictures seen here.
