Baby.
My little baby.
Yo mama's in the school
you're covered in drool.
(Laughs) Here's my
man of many talents.
What's the small fry doing at school?
We kinda need to cool it.
Yeah, I know.
Not at school.
But we can have fun at work, right?
Jenna is talking to Simpson.
She's coming back to Degrassi.
So, Mexican night tonight at work, eh?
Well, I'll bring my sombrero.
'Kay.
So what'd he say?
Can you come back?
(Sighs) No.
I mean, I can, it's just---
We have no childcare.
So I can't.
Is there anything I can do?
Stay home with ty?
I don't really have
the right equipment.
Don't call my boobs
equipment, KC.
My mom could watch him?
She told us she wouldn't
be a baby-sitter, remember?
Okay, what about the mommies group?
Ugh, those ladies are
super competitive!
It's so annoying.
Maybe you could ask
them how they do it.
Fine, I'll ask.
But one way or another, I need
to come back to Degrassi.

We're still missing the
twelfth supreme court judge!
Did you know she's a musician?
Ruth Bader Ginsberg?
No, Ms. Oh!
She played violin in some indie band.
They toured with Arcade Fire!
Did you know this presentation
is due next period?
Yeah, I know, all I'm
saying is, you know,
she's probably the coolest
teacher, like, ever.
Dude, set aside your teacher
crush for one second and focus!
There's no crush!
I'm focused.
Sav!
I'm supervising the score
for the school play
and I was hoping you'd
come out for it.
Today at lunch?
Sure.
Yeah, it's a date!
Oh yeah, no crush at all.
No, it's just like--- You know,
I really haven't had anyone
to talk music with in a while.
And she'd make a great mentor!
Is that what the kids are
calling it these days?
Mentor?
(Laughs)
Announcement:
Tickets are on sale now for the grade
original theatre production,
Love Roulette.
Based on a true story.
Why thank you, Jake. You are so---
Strong?
I was gonna say chivalrous.
So any new ideas on how
to avoid our parents?
Well, I guess being in
denial that they're dating
isn't going to make it go away.
(Groans) Not so far, no.
(Laughs)
How 'bout you come over after school?
My mom's working late, we
can renovate my bedroom.
Mmm hot.
But I can't tonight.
No problem!
She works late all week.
See this is why I like you
Clare, you're so easy-going.
I try.
What are you doing tonight, anyway?
Just asking!
Oh, I didn't tell you?
I'm building the sets
for the new play.
The school play?
Written by and starring my ex?
Eli?
Yeah. I guess so.
Is that all right?
Yeah, yeah.
Totally.
Cool.
You know, I'm glad I finally
found something I like to do
at Degrassi.
You know, besides you.
(Sighs)
He's so little, but
he's already outgrowing
all his newborn clothes!
Thank God my sister
and I both had girls.
Hand-me-downs are a savior.
It's too bad you had a boy,
or I could pass it on.
Oh, it's okay.
I'm a thrift-store regular.
Yeah, you can find some good stuff.
Save some money---
Says the mom with the
thousand dollar stroller.
(Laughs) I know.
I'm the worst.
Whenever I see something
i like, I just have to buy it.
Whether it's a stroller,
toys, clothes---
Her nanny can barely keep
up with the laundry.
Oh, you have a nanny?
Yeah, just afternoons.
We're looking for a share.
She's great.
For mornings?
Really?
How much?
About four hundred a week.
Whoa.
I guess it can add up,
but if you can make it work,
those couple of hours
of escape are heaven.
(Sighs)
I'm sure they are.
Sav!
You're early!
Uh yeah, yeah.
I brought my favourite musical scores-
Tron, Social Network,
There will be blood.
Should we listen?
We should probably wait a little.
Right. Yeah.
Probably talk music first.
So, did you really
tour with Arcade Fire?
Oh, yeah.
You heard about that?
Fun tour.
Tough life though.
Mmm, yeah.
Uh, excuse me, there's
a meeting in here.
Yeah!
For the play's hit score.
By yours truly,
Mo Mashkour!
Ms. Oh: Okay, thank-you
all for coming.
As Degrassi's most
talented musicians,
one of you will write
the score to the play.
(Sneezing) Mo mashkour.
And since there's so much interest,
I'm making it a competition.
And the winner will
workshop the final version
with little old me.
You'll all present your
rough ideas tomorrow.
Impress me!
I will, Ms. Oh!
(Sneezes) Teacher's pet.
Sorry. Got a bit of a
tickle in my throat.
Ms. Oh: Now, some guidelines:
They want something moody, haunting---
Do you think Eli would sabotage
my relationship with Jake?
My list of things Eli
wouldn't do is very short.
And why are we talking
about Eli again?
Eli asked Jake to build his sets.
Jake's a carpenter, right?
Maybe it's for reals.
Eli's taking the play
pretty seriously.
Uh, zinc?
Just tell me I'm being paranoid.
You totally are.
Unless Eli actually
wanted to poison Jake.
What? He poisoned Fitz
with ipecac.
I mean, he's been
off his meds a lot.
But you don't think he'd
actually try and hurt Jake?
I'm teasing.
C'mon, they're fine.
Eli can control his feelings.
You're not helping, you know that?
Uh, how much zinc did
you put in there?
I don't--- Oh my God!
(Deflating noise)
(Baby crying)
(Door opening)
Jenna?
Jenna!
Okay, okay, Tyson.
Shhh.
It's okay.
It's okay.
I'm here.
You can't leave him like that.
I know. I just-
I can't go to school,
I spend all day, every
day, alone with him.
I need a break.
It's okay.
It's okay.
(Sighs)
It is tough to do this at your age.
I know.
What did you do?
When did you go back
to school after you had KC?
I actually never did.
Never?!
How did you cope with being alone?
Not very well--- I went
to a really dark place.
But you are strong and bright.
I don't feel that way anymore.
You know, the other mommies
they have so much help.
I've got a dead mom, a dead beat dad.
Even my brother moved
back to Alberta---
(Sighs) Well, you've got us.
Listen, my shifts are
mostly evenings now.
So what if I took Tyson
in the mornings?
And then maybe you could
go to school part-time.
That's too much to ask.
Jenna, you need the break,
plus, it'll give me some grandma time.
Really?
You're sure?
(Electronic music)
Sounds awesome!
(Slow instrumental music)
Dude, that's your score?
Yeah.
You hear the strings?
Ms. Oh's gonna love it.
Sure, but like, have you even
talked to anyone about the play?
It's about Vegas night,
right?
(Electronic music plays)
Hear that melody?
Huh?!
And in the background?
Slot machines. Boom!
No, it is pretty good.
If you want a chance to work
with an oh-caliber hottie,
you've gotta bring
your a-game, pal!
Oh, easy. Table three doesn't
need all those calories.
They already had the triple
cheese mammoth nachos.
Okay, more for you then.
(Laughs) As if you wanted this to end.
Wanted to end what?
Nothing, just a little game we play.
Inside joke.
What are you doing here?
Surprising you, silly!
Once you're done work, we celebrate!
Celebrate---
I can go back to school!
Really?
Your mom's gonna take
Ty for the mornings.
I can do two classes,
plus lunch.
Isn't that great?
So at night you'll have to
watch Ty and do homework?
When I'm alone with Ty,
I get so depressed.
I need to see my friends.
Be normal.
I need this.
You're right.
We'll make it work.
It's going to be fun!
So fun!
I knew you'd be excited.
Jenna!
What are you doing here?
Learning, laughing, whatever I want.
I'm back at Degrassi!
Really?
For the mornings, at least!
Where's Tyson?
On the cutest little baby vacay?
He's with KC's mom.
But this is my vacation.
So, tell me everything.
Gossip, stories, whaddaya got?
Hey, J-rock, you're back!
How's the little man?
Any new baby pictures?
Seriously?!
What?
Babies are cute.
Can we talk about anything else?
Anything!?
Perino: Mornin' folks.
Today, we'll be discussing
very modern history.
Perfect.
In the Internet age, can nations
still keep diplomatic secrets?
That is the question posed
by the scandal du jour-
Wikileaks!
(Whispers)
Jenna.
Uh--- Wikileaks!
Like, Wikileaks---
Your leakage!
Ms. Middleton, can I help-
Oh my God!
Uh, I just need to pump.
All right, do what you gotta do.
Just don't do it here.
I don't wanna miss the lecture.
Jenna, please.
We're not gonna have fun without you.
So just, here, hall pass.
K, right.
Where were we--- Wikileaks.
Cables---
(Electronic music plays)
And finally, I call it Love
Roulette: The so so sweet suite.
Ms. Oh: Very good, Mo.
And great title.
Sav?
(Experimental music)
Very nice.
Thanks.
The bass represents Ari's heartbeat
racing as Fritz chases him.
And the brass, cutting in
here and there,
should evoke Fritz's knife.
Ms. Oh: That's just---
wow.
Mo: (Coughs) Try hard.
Ms. Oh: Mo, do you need a lozenge?
I think we have a winner!
The first order of
business is to build this
into a theme song with
lyrics for the opening.
I'd love to hear it tomorrow.
We can work on the rest
of the score later, okay?
Sure.
I couldn't be more stoked,
and Sav, you might want to think
about collaborating with Mo.
He had some pretty
great ideas too.
You heard the pretty lady.
Sorry Mo.
I work alone.
Hey, where is everyone?
Alli: In the gym watching dodge ball.
I'd be there too, but you know,
science program application!
I thought I was supposed
to eat lunch with KC.
Dodgeball, really?
Um, he and Marisol are co-captains.
He didn't tell you?
No.
No one tells me anything anymore.
He'll eat with you tomorrow.
If there is a tomorrow.
That's a bit dark.
I had a leak in class, Alli.
My life is just so different
from everyone else's.
Hey.
You can do this.
You just need to find
something fun here!
I don't even know what fun is anymore.
Well, Sav's been killing himself
trying to write some music thing.
Maybe you can help?
Okay, maybe.
I'll get outta your hair then.
Wait.
I can do this later.
Wanna have lunch with a friend?
(Laughs) Thanks.
That sounds fun.
We need a moment early on
that shows the audience
that Clare likes Ari.
Maybe she just stands in
a doorway, watching him work.
Whoa, that's really good!
I'm gonna let you two talk.
It's bad enough that this play
drags my name through the mud,
but can you please leave
Jake out of this?
Jake?
My boyfriend.
Building your sets.
Oh Jake.
Strapping. Handsome.
Good with his hands.
Great hire.
Just promise not to say anything
mean about me around him.
Where is this venom coming from?
It's not-
Ugh.
You're off your meds.
You're unstable.
I'm fine.
I'm thinking clearly.
Then why doesn't that
make me feel any better?
Clare, I would never
bad-mouth you--- on purpose.
But when I'm in here- my
creativity can't be contained.
Do you hate me so much you'd
ruin my relationship?
Claire, I don't hate you.
I just don't know why you're so upset.
He'll be out of the
picture soon enough.
Wait.
Out of the picture?
What is that supposed to mean?
(Laughs) Oh Clare, always
so curious--- (Laughs)
(Hums)
Man!
(Knocking)
Hey!
I've heard you've got a---thing?
Jenna!
Thank God you're here.
I have to write a song for the
school play and it's killing me.
Okay.
What do you have so far?
Uh, okay.
Hm hm hm hm hm hm hm
hunter's knife.
Um, isn't that Row row row your boat?
Yes! I've also written YMCA
and the National Anthem.
(Laughs) You do need my help.
Can you come and jam
in the music room?
Now?
Yeah, unless you have to
get back to the baby.
Uh, no.
I'll check in with grandma.
I'm sure she wouldn't mind
watching him a little longer.
Perfect!
Works alone, my ass.
Oh Sav, you really should not
leave your things unattended.
There's his bag.
You're seriously gonna
go through his stuff.
He's been okay lately.
I know he's up to something I
just don't have any proof.
Adam: Well, if you're so worried
talk to Dawes or something.
Ah-ha! Ipeca-
hand sanitizer.
C'mon, let's go before
Jake catches you
and thinks you're the crazy one.
Jake: Hey Clare!
Up here!
Jake?
What are you doing?
Eli asked me to hang some lights.
Don't you think that
stuff should be secured?
Naw, it's sturdy.
How about I hold it steady,
and you be a little
more careful, okay?
Think I'm being paranoid now?
Jenna: (Hums)

Hello!
(Singing)
Oh, that's it!

(Baby crying) Ty!
Oh my gosh!

Shhh.
Oh, it's fine.
It's okay.
It's okay,

Oh my God!
Ty, you're okay, you're okay.
Shhhh. It's okay, it's okay.
It's okay.
You're fine.
You sure you don't need my help?
From you? No.
Not even help
finding this?
(Sighs)
What do you want?
Make me co-composer.
Or what?
You'll erase the hard drive?
I'd would never delete
an artist's work.
You know, you're not
very good at blackmail.
Okay, how's this?
You make me co-composer, or-
♪ oh girl, you make my heart burn ♪
♪ you've got so much to teach ♪
♪ I've got so much to learn--- ♪
Please stop.
♪ You drop the knowledge

You know, things'd
probably get pret-ty crazy
if Ms. Oh oh oh oh girl
heard your little love ballad.
Okay fine.
Just promise to never sing that again.
But it's so damn catchy!
(Laughs)
How is he?
Is he okay?
Doctors are still
looking at him.
Why did I have to call
Little Miss Steak's landline
to reach you?
I've been here an hour!
I was bussing tables,
I didn't hear my phone buzz.
What did you do, anyway?
It was an accident!
He was on the change table, and then-
then you accidentally
dropped him on his head?!
Were you even paying attention?
Do not accuse me of
being a bad mother!
I'm with him all the time,
while you're off having fun.
Fun?
I work!
To make money
for this family!
Are you saying it's not work
to stay home with the baby?!
I don't know, but it must
be nice to sit at home,
watch tv and play guitar, while
our baby falls off a table!
You're such an ass!
Excuse me?
Good news.
Ty's going to be okay.
Oh thank goodness.
Nurse: He passed all the tests,
but he may still have a concussion,
so you'll have to monitor him.
We can do that.
There is one other thing.
Oh God.
What?
Given the nature of your baby's
injuries and your--- situation,
I have no choice but to file
a report to child services.
But we didn't do anything wrong.
It was an accident.
I'm sorry.
It is policy.
