"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.

"Get It Together"
aka, "Becky wants sex, Maya wants Zig, Clare can't handle children"
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?

"Walking in my Shoes"
aka, "Zoe opens a black market, Imogen can't be with a closeted teen, Frankie finds out her BF is cheating"
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.
