204 – Karma Chameleon: B
A suitable followp to Jagged Little Pill.
–
205 – Weird Science: B+
Great development between Emma and Snake. Hilarious subplot.
–
206 – Drive: B+
A boring, but super nostalgic plot about teenagers left home alone.
–
207/208 – Shout 1 & 2: C+
Part Two is miles better than Part One.
–
209 – Mirror in the Bathroom: A+ (Toby) | A (Terri)
Toby’s quest for popularity is one of the most underrated storylines of the series. Terri tackles her fear of rejection in a classic way.

210 – Take My Breath Away: A-
A well-done episode viewed from multiple angles. The Ellie/Marco subplot is equally as engaging.
–
211 – Don’t Believe the Hype: B (Hazel) | B (JT)
A strong theme eventually fights its way through a flawed story and shaky acting. JT’s plot mimics the theme of Hazel’s, but in a less-serious manner.

212/213 – White Wedding 1 & 2: D
An unappealing, unengaging episode.
–
214 – Careless Whisper: B
A test of one of Degrassi’s most stable friendships.
–
215 – Hot for Teacher: B-
JT makes this OK main plot better than what it is.
–
216 – Message in a Bottle: C+
A random entry in the journal of Sean.
–
217 – Relax: D+
SBT (Liberty) shows she isn’t ready to carry a storyline yet.
–
218 – Dressed in Black: B+
Great development for Ashley and Jimmy separately, since they let end up letting each other go at the end.
–
219 – Fight for Your Right: D
An excuse to spend 22 minutes listening to Emma blab on—-err, I mean protest.
–
220 – How Soon Is Now? B
Solid followup to Paige’s rape. The impact is greater when this episode is NOT aired directly after Shout.
–
221/222 – Tears Are Not Enough 1 & 2: A
Degrassi’s best Season Finale, and a brilliant end to Craig’s abuse storyline.

It’s funny when they did that (aired Shout right before How Soon Is Now) because that would mean that Soccer- A spring/fall sport- would be around the same time as a Basketball tournament-a winter sport- plus the fact that they say it had been 6 months since that night, also it’s weird they had basketball at the end of the year. (I’m reading way to far into this)

“Drive” was a fun episode.

i thought shout was a strong two-part episode but then again not as good as darcy’s rape episode.

“how soon is now?” is by far my favorite episode of the entire series. I agree with the grade for “mirror in the bathroom”. I can always watch that one and not get bored with it.
