Seriously. Bravo, Degrassi. If you're not careful, I'm gonna raise my expectations.This week the Degrassi kids deal with the aftermath of JT's death. TeenMom's beside herself, sobbing in public and begging Toby to tell her exactly what JT said before he died. The fact that JT had no idea he was about to bite it does nothing to assuage her disappointment that her name was not the last thing on his lips. Bitch.
Everyone's grief manifests itself differently: Liberty tries to assert her control over her emotions, Toby develops feelings for Liberty, Manny reverts to playing Devil's Advocate and dispensing awful advice, Jimmy paints a mural and talks about the cyclical nature of violence (in case you forgot, that's why he's in a WHEELCHAIR) and Spinner makes a slideshow.
Liberty and TeenMom fight over the contents of JT's locker and when TeenMom says that JT hated Liberty, Toby tells her what JT actually said just before he died: that he still loved Lib. Damn. TeenMom's response is "You suck, Isaacs." But it's that knowledge that enables Liberty to rise above and allow TeenMom's tape of JT and her daughter to be shown during the memorial. And that tape, of JT playing with a child, and the knowledge that he'll never play with theirs, is what finally makes Liberty break down and cry.
I'm gonna call bullshit on Paige not coming back for the memorial. She and JT became friends after he went after her rapist and I don't think there's any way she'd miss saying goodbye.
Next week: Manny's starting to date the RivalPrez and everyone turns against her because his school killed JT. I was under the impression that it was one psycho kid and not an entire group, but it looks like that won't stop Emma from being a huge bitch.
