"Give Me One Reason"
"Give Me One Reason"
aka, "Clare has a stillborn, Maya is a model child, Hunter will be a horrible boyfriend"
Episode 18, Season 14
Original Air Date: 7/24/2015
Main Storyline Character: Clare Edwards, Maya Matlin, Hunter Hollingsworth
Previously on Degrassi:
-Zig and Maya kissed!
-Clare and Eli found out their to-be-born baby doesn't have a heartbeat.
This episode is a huge come-down from the previous. Last episode we had hormones raging in every way possible, and major drama on the Clare/Eli front. This episode, not so much. It mellows out with Maya and Zig, but the Clare/Eli storyline is heartbreaking. And the Hunter storyline is...well, not very thrilling at all.

Episode 17, Season 14
Original Air Date: 7/23/2015
Main Storyline Character: Becky Baker, Maya Matlin, Clare Edwards
Previously on Degrassi:
-Tristan had an affair with a teacher, Mr. Yates...Tristan, more like TRYSTan. Get it? Maya thought it was gross because dude, teachers with students? Talk about pervs. She told Mr. Simpson and got Mr. Yates fired.
-Tristan later started dating Miles, who previously dated Maya at one point. Maya became overly concerned for Miles because he started smoking pot and she is a worrywart. She was such a pest that Miles drudged up some old feelings for her and broke up with Tristan. Tristan was all "WHY WON'T YOU LET ME HAVE ANYTHING NICE!?"
Wow. Much like Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, this episode is very hormonal. It's like the writers remembered that these kids are teenagers and they had to catch up on all of the sex. Let's take a look, shall we?

Episode 16, Season 14
Original Air Date: 7/22/2015
Main Storyline Character: Zoe Rivas, Frankie Hollingsworth, Imogen Moreno
Previously on Degrassi:
-Imogen found out that Jack isn't out to her parents, which makes for an angry Imogen.
-Zoe had a child porn ring (I KNOW! It gets me every time) and now needs to repent.
-Lola and Winston kissed behind Frankie's back, mostly at the fault of Winston.
Zoe, Zoe, Zoe. When will you ever learn? Your child pornography ring landed you a court date and you need to show some remorse, but instead you decide to do some stupid stuff. Zoe's parole officer or whatever tells her that she needs to do some community service. Not as punishment, mind you, but just to show the judge that she feels guilty about being a horrible person. She has to put on a hair net and work in the school cafeteria! Serving food to kids who hate her! This is like Spinner getting punished for (in a roundabout way) causing the school shooting way back when.

"Wishlist"
aka, "Maya has no friends, Frankie takes advantage of her dad's money, Imogen realizes not everyone has cool families"
Episode 15, Season 14
Original Air Date: 7/21/2015
Main Storyline Character: Frankie Hollingsworth, Imogen Moreno, Maya Matlin,
Previously on Degrassi:
-Zig has been living with Maya because most teens in this show have bad home lives. His just involves drug dealers and leaving gangs.
-Imogen and Jack have been dating for awhile now.
-Frankie's dad is an asshole in many ways, some of which include: he's a politician, he openly allows Miles to drink and smoke weed, he beat his son (Miles), he cheats on his wife, he's homophobic, he wanted Frankie to take the blame for Degrassi Nudes in front of the press so that he could look good for his election...among other things I'm sure I'm forgetting. A real blue-ribbon guy!
Ok, so I am relieved to tell you Winston is mostly out of the story line in this episode! We get to have the Winston-cheated-on-Frankie-but-cannot-tell-her storyline placed on the back burner, despite Frankie being a key player here.
It's Frankie's 15th birthday and even though she has a twin brother, apparently only she gets a party or maybe her brother doesn't have enough friends to warrant a party. It's Gatsby-themed, which was clearly decided upon by someone who hasn't read the book because for anyone who has, it's just awful. But it does make a helluva party theme, so Frankie steps out into her pool/patio area with the awestruck "OH MY GATSBY!" (best quote) at the amazing decor, which consists of a gramophone on a pool deck. Frankie's grateful for everything her mom did to decorate and the amazing vintage dress she gives her, but insists on a champagne fountain since it's themed. Her mom, unlike her father, tells her she's only 15 and remember? 15 year olds can't drink legally. Not even in Canada. And her brother insists there was prohibition in the Gatsby era but guess what Hunter, people drank in the 20s so go play video games somewhere else, GAWD.

Episode 14, Season 14
Original Air Date: 7/20/2015
Main Storyline Character: Clare Edwards, Zig Novak, Winston Chu
Previously on Degrassi:
-Clare and Eli did the horizontal hustle and got pregnant. Despite their recent breakup, have come to terms that they will be parents to this child.
-Zig was in Vince's gang until he decided that oh hey, living on the streets and dealing drugs is pretty bad, so he and Tiny are slowly stepping out that back door while trying not to get murdered.
-Tiny got stabbed by Damon because we need to stir up that gang drama.
-Winston is whiny and annoying and kissed Lola but doesn't want his girlfriend to know.
Clare and Eli will always be together. There is no one else that either of them could ever be with, no matter how hard the writers of this show will try. Circumstances change, yet they both still end up together. These two previously broke up because Clare slept with Drew, then when she got pregnant she thought it was Drew's, then when she did the math, she realized it was Eli's and oh snap, Eli doesn't like her anymore because she slept with another dude. But Eli is Eli and of course loves Clare, and Clare admitted Drew was a mistake (Drew is everyone's mistake. He's just a boy toy for everyone. Poor guy)

Apologies as I'm doing a huge time jump to the current season, but this is the FINAL SEASON OF DEGRASSI!* Gotta cover this before it goes stale!
The summer premiere of Degrassi begins with new rules and a new regime. Before the episode begins, we even got a bit of a refresher of what happened in the previous half-season.
Previously on Degrassi:
-the Degrassi Nudes plan, on the Oomfchat app (ripoff of snapchat, where the cheerleaders raised money by selling pics of their boobs) was discovered by the school administration and these girls are in Trouble with a capital T.
-Miles gets mad that his dad is abusive and sets a poster on fire leading to a major fire at Degrassi. No one is hurt.
Much like Degrassi did after "All Falls Down" (ep. 24, season 10), the school is trying to make up for its students getting out of control. In that episode it was blowjobs in the boiler room and catching kids having sex during the Las Vegas-themed fundraiser (hey, they were just sticking with the theme). This time it is students selling nude pics aka child pornography and the school catching on fire.
