Bad news, Sean. Your girlfriend's a whore.

I'm no fan of double standards. Yeah, Emma was dumb for hooking up with Jay, but I seriously doubt that Sean was sitting around knitting and pining for his lost love in Wasaga while the van was a-rockin'. This episode was all about Sean dealing with the fact that his idealized Emma is a real person and she's made some real big mistakes. You'd think he would have clued into that when she took Peter back a couple of episodes ago, but whatev.

It's my sad duty to inform you that the worst thing about this episode was not Emma's acting. The writing is frankly slipping. With characters acting without real motivation, the story was propelled forward by the need to get to the freeze frame of acceptance within the 30 minutes allotted. Degrassi is so much better than this episode.

Bad news: The N is taking a break from airing season 6 until the start of 2007. Good news: Craig will return and kiss an unwilling Ellie (yay, Ellie!) and someone's going to die. I'm voting for JT or Liberty. Ooh! Also, the teen mom's old school mates declare war on Degrassi and it appears that the Afro Twins, Toby and JT will be caught in the fight.

It's Nicole, I don't have the N anymore so you will have to catch me up. Also, what's with Sean's long hair? Emma can do so much better.
