Oh. Snap.

Craig's ba-ack! And he's all hopped up on nose candy. To be fair, he probably needs it to sit through a dinner party with pretentious college freshmen discussing Rousseau and Jung. But more on that in a bit.

In the land of people I hope will soon be killed off, Liberty's sad that JT and TeenMom are all cuddly and happy so she decides to make JT as miserable as she is. It's awesome, no pussy-footing or anything, she just straight up tells the girl that JT knocked her up, sold drugs to get money for her and the baby, and almost killed himself. TeenMom's upset that JT never mentioned any of this (especially the drug stuff, though I'd be more mad about the banging Liberty part of the equation), but JT quickly gets back into her good graces with an idea for a "much needed" daycare facility at Degrassi. When the couple brings it up at student council, President Libery shoots it down and bickering ensues. That's when it got boring and I stopped paying attention.

You know what's not boring? Craig on coke! So he and Manny are all reunited and it feels so good, but he wants to go see Ellie and Marco. He plays everyone (including Spinner and Jimmy, who I'm pretty sure had NO lines this episode) a new song and Ellie really enjoys the allusions to Melville. Shut up, Ellie. Craig says that he wrote it on a ferry to Vancouver Island and claims it's a "long story." Shut up, Craig. Poor Manny just wants to go make out with her hot boyfriend, but he'd rather bask in the attention of his fawning friends.

Later Manny and Craig bond as he helps her run lines for an audition for a Canadian soap that may as well be called Smegrassi. After the audition, Craig brags to his friends about how well Manny did. Ellie makes a smug comment about how Smegrassi is a crappy melodrama. Seriously, Ellie. Don't make me smack you in the mouth. Manny and Craig talk about the high of performing and before long it's time for Craig's acoustic show at the most well-lit club in all of Toronto. Manny goes backstage to wish him well before his set and finds Craig bent over a tiny mirror with a little baggie of white powder and a razor. He gives her his bad boy smile and goes out to play. She looks like she might throw up.

Craig performs. Manny looks sad. Ellie proves how smart she is by asking if that song is why he was "asking about drowning allegories last month." Um, ya'll? When did Ellie become such an asshole? Manny doesn't want to interrupt the mutual fawning society and starts to leave, but Craig stops her to say, 1. He doesn't want her to think he "does that," and 2. He could see her shining eyes through the whole show. So high.

The next day Manny tries to talk to him about it and Craig's all "I thought you were cool with it," "It's no big deal," "I just need a confidence boost." She complains that Ellie makes her feel dumb and he asks her to come to a dinner party at Marco and Ellie's that night. That's where we get to listen to everyone talk about Rousseau and blah blah blah. Craig tries to include his girl, but Ellie makes her feel dumb and Manny brings up Ellie's track record of male rejection. Ellie shoots back with an "At least my boobs aren't on the internet" and Manny storms out.

Manny wants the confidence to talk to Craig's smart friends and asks for a boost. Craig's torn, but ultimately gives in and when we rejoin the dinner party, Craig and Manny are going a mile a minute and Ellie looks constipated. The next morning she runs into a hungover Manny leaving for school and takes Craig a cup of coffee. In his lair of rock clichés she finds a baggie of coke:

Craig: Elle, I don't know how this happened.

Ellie: What happened? What's going on?

Craig: I never thought it would get bad so fast.

Ellie: Craig, are you doing coke?

Craig: Manny is.

St. Clare: Oh. Snap.
