Mrs. Edwards: Don't be late
for dinner tonight!
(Door slams)
Okay, diapers...
Blankets, bottle...
Mama's coming!
Jacket...(Tyson fusses)
Mama's coming!
(Groans)
Ugh!
I'm coming!
Hi!
We're gonna make it,
right, Ty?
(Cries)
(Sighs)
As soon as I find
your other bootie.

It's a tragedy it had to end the

Alli: He was smothering you, Clare,
you had no choice.
Clare: I just, I hope
he's okay, you know?
Has he tried to call?
Email? Text?
Uh, n-not since the
night of the dance.
Maybe that's a good sign.
You're right.
There's no reason Eli and I can't
both be mature about this.
We need to move on so we can
walk these halls in peace.
Good luck, sister.
(Students chatter)
Hey.
Hi.
So...
How are you?
I'm great.
Thanks.
Okay... wanna talk?
Nah, I'm good.
See you 'round.
girl: Hey! Oh, I missed you!
How was spring break in Florida?
The best!
Wesley: Do you have third period
with Ms. Oh?
Connor:
Yes.
Me too!
What about second period?
Connor: Mr. Betankamp.
Wesley:
Nice! High five!
Hey, ladies, plans tonight?
Other than first day back homework?
Look, I'm trying to get
the whole gang together.
Can I count you guys in?
Sadie:
There will be nachos!
We'll be there.
(Girls laugh)
Hey!
How's your brother?
Other than grounded
for the rest of his life?
Just trying to lay low
for a couple of days.
What'd the police say?
Is he in trouble?
We don't know yet.
Mom freaked out, got a lawyer.
I still can't believe he killed a guy.
Hey, it was self defense.
Drew's never hurt anyone in his life.
Dave: Look, my dad said
he did the right thing.
Holly J: Priority is prom committee.
We need a theme!
Oh! Don't forget
about grad photos.
And grad gifts.
Guys, this is our last
semester together.
Anya, Fiona, and Holly J:
Awwwwww!
Aww, well I hate to
break up a group hug,
but these morning announcements
won't read themselves.
Holly J: High school home
stretch - are you and I okay?
Sav:
I am if you are.
Spring break was just
what I needed.
How was yours?
You know, dialysis.
Right, drag.
Well, let's do this, we good?
Girl:
Yep, let's go.
Okay...
Welcome back, Degrassi.
Next week we kick off
our semester long health
and well-being initiative:
Our health, our passion.
Holly J: Visit the info table
in the foyer to sign up...
Uh, Jenna!
Jenna:
Alli!
You brought the baby...
to school?
I guess he'll be getting
a head start
in grade ten with mom?
Oh, I'm not actually here for class.
Oh, you're taking some mommy time?
Till next year.
It's just even though
I'm taking a break,
I didn't want to miss
everyone else's first day!
So, how is he?
Are you getting any sleep?
Two hours a night, if I'm lucky.
Ugh! I cannot function
without my beauty sleep.
You're amazing.
Oh, it's so worth it.
He is the best thing that's
ever happened to me...
And to his daddy!
Well, I have class.
See you... sometime?
Yeah! Sure!
Okay.
Alli:
Whoa! (Laughs)
Hey!
Hey.
What are you doing here?
Ty and I wanted to wish you
a good first day back!
Oh, thanks.
You took two buses just for that?
And to see my other friends.
Kinda boring at home.
(Bell rings)
Oh! I can't be late
for first period.
Have a good one, big guy.
You have a good day, too!
Thanks.
(Jenna sighs heavily)
Looks like it's just...
you and me.
(Students chatter)
Guy: Hey.
Adam: Hey!
Adam: Well, here we are,
scary civics class.
You ready?
Yeah.
I mean, how bad can it...be.
Whoa! That's a big binder.
Right.
(Binder thuds loudly)
(Sighs)
Hello? You here?
Can Eli really just be fine?
He told me he was great.
Well, did you hang out with him
over spring break much?
He had stuff to do.
I mean, you helped him!
Look, the break-up is the best
thing that could've happened.
You guys going to "Above
The Dot" tonight?
Uh... I guess, maybe.
Great.
(Traffic rumbles)
(Exhausted sigh)
All right.
Oh! Ahhh!
Need a hand?
Jenna:
Oh! Kyle, you're still here!
Could you watch Ty for a bit?
He kept me up all night.
I can't, little sis.
I'm on my way to work.
Where were you anyway?
I wanted to see KC before school.
Kyle: (Scoffs) Lucky guy.
He goes to school,
sees his friends, doesn't get
woken up by his screaming nephew
four times a night.
He's doing his part.
He's bringing over more diapers later.
Wow!
He should get a medal.
Kyle!
Look, I just think that the dude
who actually helped make that baby
should be around a little more.
He's busy, and Degrassi is a
thousand miles from our place.
Kyle: All right, all right, I'm
not gonna get on your case.
See ya later.
Bye, little T.
(Sighs heavily)
Alli: Maybe Adam is right.
Maybe Eli is over you.
Maybe.
Clare, you're great,
but it is possible.
This is the same Eli
who crashed his hearse
to stop us from breaking up!
Okay, maybe we should stay in tonight.
You know, avoid all Eli zones.
I'm fine, Alli.
It's just...
Something doesn't seem right.
He's not acting like himself.
As in not obsessed with you?
Clare, isn't that what you want?
Mrs. Edwards: Hmm.
You got all dressed up for dinner.
Dinner?
The Martins?
I told you about this
weeks ago.
But Alli and I are going out!
Glenn and his son
just moved back here.
His son Jake?
Who threw a dead frog at
me last time I saw him.
That was six years ago.
They go to our church,
I want them to feel welcome.
Report back to me?
Of course.
Have fun.
(Scoffs)
(Car rumbles)
(Doors slam)
Well, hello!
Hey, we early?
Mrs. Edwards:
Of course not, Glenn.
Come on in!
Thank you.
Hey, Clare.
Who's your friend?
(Sighs)
(Pot sizzles)
(Door slams)
Sorry I'm late.
Got held up
on the basketball courts.
But I got the poo protectors!
Oh, you're a lifesaver!
How was day one?
It was awesome!
This semester I have both gym and art,
so hardly any homework
for the rest of the year!
And it was Taco Tuesday on Monday.
Oh, I love tacos!
I know!
I'm just happy you're here.
I've been waiting all day
for some quality time
with my number one guy.
Justin Bieber?
Yeah, but you'll do till he gets here.
Nice.
How's Tyson?
Oh asleep, finally.
Hey.
(Tyson coos)
Good.
Well, I'd love to hang out with
my very, very, sexy girlfriend,
but I told Dave I'd meet him and
the gang at "Above The Dot".
Oh.
I thought you said that you were
helping with Tyson tonight.
Well, uh, he's sleeping.
We don't both need to be here, right?
Legally, no, but...
Cool!
I have no plans tomorrow.
I'll visit then.
Promise!
And I'll tell the gang you say hi.
(Frustrated sigh)
(Door slams)
Glenn: Helen, thanks for having us.
Jake:
Mmm! Chicken's great!
Mrs. Edwards:
Would you like some more?
Dark meat or white?
Um, both please.
Mrs. Edwards: Clare, you should
tell Glenn and Jake
about your writing.
Clare just got published this year.
Wow! That's impressive!
What do you write?
Fiction, mostly.
Well, you must be very talented.
I guess.
Mrs. Edwards: I'm sorry, Clare's
not quite herself tonight.
She's just getting over
a difficult breakup.
Clare:
Mom!
Mrs. Edwards: There's nothing
to be ashamed of!
It happens to the best of us.
Clare:
I broke up with Eli.
I'm fine, and I'm happy to be here!
So...
What caused the move?
Glenn: Uh, well, the, uh, contracting
business up north is dead.
So I had to drag Jake here, kicking
and screaming to the city.
You don't like it?
It's not really my thing.
Clare:
Oh.
How about school?
Mrs. Edwards:
Oh, that's right, Jake!
How was your first day at Degrassi?
What?!
It's really big; I kept getting lost.
Clare, maybe you could
take Jake around tomorrow,
introduce him to some
of your friends at school.
Actually, I have a better idea!
All my friends are at
"Above The Dot" right now,
and I'd really love for
them to meet Jake.
Clare, we're in the middle of dinner.
Jake:
No, it's cool, I'll go.
Yeah, that sounds great.
You kids have fun.
Great! Thanks, Glenn!
Clare: Come on!
Jake: Oh!

Clare: He just
transferred to Degrassi,
and I wanted to introduce
him to some people.
Oh, yeah.
Um, I'm sure Jake
would love to meet Eli.

Jake, this is KC, Dave,

Dave: What's up?

Jake:
Are those Hawaiian nachos?
Dave: Go nuts.
Jake: Oh, thanks!
Come with me.
Uh, I'm eating!
How are you still hungry?
(Sighs) Eli!
This is Jake.
He's new at Degrassi,
but he and I have long history.
Ah.
Welcome to our humble hangout.
I've heard a lot about you.
Eli: Some good things, I hope.
See you 'round school?
Mm-hm.
For sure.
Jake:
So, should we make out?
Excuse me?!
Bet it'd make your ex really jealous.
(Patrons chatter and laugh)
(KC sighs)
Hey, is everything okay?
Did something happen to the baby?
Jenna:
No, everything is not okay!
I've been home alone
with the baby all day!
He's fifty percent you, and I'm
doing percent of the work!
I miss my friends!
I miss Alli, and Dave, and Sadie, and...
new guy!
It's not fair!
You get to see them all day,
and you left me home alone.
Okay, I'll take you home.
No! I wanna stay.
But loud music's bad for him.
S-so you take him!
(Tyson cries)
Me?
What am I supposed to do?
Figure it out!
I'm gonna hang out with my friends.

What's up, Jenna?

You look good.

Thanks.

I have to go see him.
No, sweetie, he's fine.
He's with KC.
So stay and have a good time!
All he does is eat and cry, and poo.
But he needs me, Alli.
I'm all he has!
What about his dad?
KCs trying, but...
Sometimes I feel like
I'm doing this all alone.
KC loves you.
Just be honest, and I'm
sure he'll step up.
Thanks.

Eli?
Can we talk?
Maybe later.
We can't just avoid
each other forever!
Two minutes,

Okay.
How was your first day at school?
- Did you like your classes, or-
Not about that, come on!
I really don't know what
you want me to say.
Just tell me the truth!
I'm in a good place.
Can I go?
(Eli sighs heavily)
Did three months mean nothing?
Did you flip a switch and
erase me from your memory?!
It took you a year!
A year to get over your ex!
Did you ever love me at all?
And... scene.
Leave me alone,
I'm not finished yet!
Yes you are, Clare,
let's-let's go.
Let go of me!
Clare, let's go!

Is Tyson okay?
He's asleep.
My mom was really good with him.
Did you spend time with him at all?
Yeah, some.
But there's only so much I can do.
My mom says I need
to take care of you, too.
Hot milk with honey.
Is there anything else?
Is that pillow okay?
Uh... If you prefer tea or-or water...
No.
I-I'm sorry I messed up tonight.
It's not about tonight.
I can't raise him alone.
But you just seem so normal.
You're living your life
like nothing happened!
I wanna help, I just
don't really know how.
I never really learned
how to be a dad.
I could drop out of school, get a job,
we could use some extra cash.
Then you'll leave me
for work and school?

More of you!
Really?
I'm actually kinda glad to hear that.
It's nice here...
With you.

But it doesn't make any sense!
Did I really mean nothing to him?
You don't get it.
Get what? Enlighten me!
So what if he doesn't have
feelings for you any more!

The one who needs
closure here is you!
Okay.
If you're so smart, how?
How do I get closure
if he won't even talk to me?

I'm glad my life
is so entertaining for you.
I'm sorry,
it's just...
Why does everything
have to be so dramatic?

Whoa. Um...
That's a big step.
I don't know what else to do.
You don't have to say yes.
I can't be a -hour babysitter.
N-no, no, of course!
No, and there are gonna
