Ooh, looking cute, girl.

Thanks. I wanted to look as I'm ready to take on the school.

Oh, yeah.

Dallas went to go find the key.

Hey.

Has the cancer spread to your lungs?

No. I'm still in remission.

I was just hoping that you guys would stop kissing long enough for me to get

some hugs.

Bring it in.

No key?

Only the key to my heart.

Oh, we can put that one back on your keychain, but... What are we going to

People are going to be here in two hours, and we need to get ready for the

welcome back assembly.

Hey, guys.

Why do you all look so surprised?

It's 6 a .m.

This is school. You're Drew Torres.

Student council president, Drew Torres. And I couldn't sleep, so instead of just

staring at the ceiling, I decided to come here.

Anyway... Got the welcome back assembly all set up. Come on.

What?

Sound system cranked. Video feed ready.

Smoke machine.

Light show on.

Wow, you really went all out.

I wanted to make our senior year the best fun Degrassi's ever had. You guys

Yeah!

Hi.

Um, fun summer?

Oh.

Sorry.

It must be nice having your crush lined up for the year.

I told you, I'm focusing on music, not boys.

Is that why you got contacts?

So you could exchange flirty glances at your cello? Shut up.

Hey, I...

Geez, Chewie, you were here for an entire year. It's like none of these

even know you.

Trust me, none of these girls are worth knowing.

I don't know. There might be one or two we're checking out.

Good morning, Degrassi. Welcome to the best year of your life.

I'm here to introduce to you the team that's going to bring you the ruckus.

Your student council.

First up, your athletic rep.

The man with the muscles, Mike Dallas.

She's smart and sassy. Your social coordinator, Ali Bhandari.

He puts the fun into financial statements.

Treasurer, Conor Deloria.

It'll take minutes. And your heart, Secretary Jenna Middleton.

Next up, she is my partner in crime. The voice in the back of my mind, her new

hairdo, sure is fine.

Your vice president, Claire Edward.

Finally, finally, he's handsome.

He's funny.

He's me.

Your student council president, Drew Torres.

Welcome to Degrassi, everybody.

Today is a fresh start for everyone, including me. This year is about fun,

friends, new developments, about...

Drew. Is he okay?

Drew!

That was an assembly note I'll never forget. I hope Drew's okay.

Well, after he came to, I saw seven grade nine girls offer to carry his

I think he'll be fine. Well, until his fiancée comes home from university for a

visit. If you have physics fourth period, I could switch into that.

But you know nothing about physics.

Yeah, but wouldn't it be fun to have all our classes together?

But it's physics. It's already fun.

Oh, you guys only have three classes together?

Let's be like an ocean apart.

You're still thinking about Leo? He's in France.

Let him rot there. Come on, Leo's a good guy.

Well, she can't be thinking about him that hard if she's already got a date

tonight. Well, geez, you move fast. It's not even first period.

With who?

She won't tell me. I just don't want to say anything until I know for sure that

it's going to work out. So it's Dallas. Not Dallas. It's got to be Dallas. About

time. Yeah, you two will make the cutest babies.

Okay, just let me go on my date, and if there's fireworks, then you guys can

meet them.

Okay, but if Dallas is in my next class, can I meet him then?

Told you I'm fine.

Dude, you collapsed on stage.

The nurse took my blood pressure, did her little tests or whatever.

I passed.

What do you want from me?

You also said you've been sleeping.

So? Dude, can we just get the school year started? We're gonna be late for

Hold up.

You can pretend for everyone else, but you can't pretend for me.

What? I could like math?

Thinking about Adam?

Trying not to.

She got asleep.

Have you been taking those pills the doctor gave you?

Zolpidem or whatever it's called. No, I don't need them.

You need something.

Yeah, I need this.

School, student council, stuff to keep me busy, maybe tire me out.

For the first time since Adam died, I'm excited about stuff again.

Is that math class, right?

Is it crazy?

Zoe Revis. I feel like celebrity in her school.

I hope you're not like Gatsby Garcia in real life.

You watch West Drive?

Oh, no. No.

My son, he loves the show.

I'm going to go set you up.

Okay.

Can we leave now?

We talked about this.

And I believe I said I don't want to go to that steaming hellhole. You're 15. If

you're not working, you have to be in school.

This one?

I sent you to Paris this summer so you could get to know some friends who go

here. What if everyone finds out why I got kicked off the show?

Honey, they won't.

Let's call this party to order.

All right.

Are you sure you're okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Because it's okay if you're not. You've been through a lot with Adam and... I'm

fine.

You know, I talked to Simpson. He said that we could split the workload if it's

too much... Claire, I'm the president. I can do this, all right?

Start. Okay.

Um, but we're still short a few reps.

Drama, Knitting Society, Outdoors Club. Just, uh, hang together?

Hey, I'd like to call to order the first official meeting of this year's student

council.

And I would like to get right to the good stuff, planning the first event of

year. We need to do something big, something special.

I was thinking maybe a dance?

Second that.

What if we did something to remember Adam?

Yeah, like a no texting and driving campaign.

The first event of the year? All people can learn from the tragedy.

Adam would have wanted that.

No, he wouldn't have.

He would have wanted a Degrassi Beach bash dance.

Let's put it to the people.

Shall we prepare presentations and take a vote at tomorrow's meeting?

Yeah, I guess.

Great. Next order of business. Should we use the grant money to revive Degrassi

TV? Yeah, but I'd like to. She got mad at us. It's not as easy as she thought.

Oh, my God.

Maya, since I'm new here, got any good girlfriend recommendations?

You really think I'd stick you on some poor, unsuspecting girl?

You mean some extremely lucky.

All like Zoe, who you made out with all over France in the drops, like a hot...

What's French for potato?

Yeah, Zoe was a mistake.

But, um, it's all behind me, though.

Literally.

Surprise.

You're at Degrassi now?

Um, this is awkward, right?

Yep, totally awkward.

You're new, yes?

This is part of the class.

Will we all sit down?

Actually, I think I forgot something in my locker, so I should go.

The bell rang.

You're mine now.

I think you've got first -day jitters.

I need to start this class, so just get over whatever boy drama this is, take a

deep breath, chill out.

Why don't you chill out?

That really is her go -to move, huh?

I can't believe Claire proposed a texting and driving event instead of a

I know Adam's still on people's minds.

It's not going to bring him back, though.

Why do we have to dwell?

You know what?

Just trying to get some sleep.

You gonna crash here again?

With the TV on, yeah?

Thanks.

You are glowing.

And wearing a little extra makeup. What are you hiding? Nothing. When do we get

to know what kind of a kisser Mike Dallas is?

Um, it wasn't Dallas.

It was Leo.

No. Yeah, she flew in yesterday.

He missed me. Isn't that so romantic?

Try insane.

This guy can't be trusted.

That's a little harsh.

No, Leo hurt her, Claire.

Physically, I saw the bruises. It was nothing. We got into a fight. It got

heated, but I grabbed him, too.

So, Allie, that's a warning sign. Oh, like driving a car into a wall? Or

bringing a gun to school? Or, you know, stealing underwear? Your boyfriends

aren't saints.

So he came here just for you, without a plan?

He came here because he loves me. Why are you guys trying to ruin that?

Here we start Unit 1, The Nature of Politics.

But, Drew Torres, you'll be missing out. You're wanted in the office.

Where's Drew?

Morning, B.

Hey. I didn't expect you to answer.

So then why'd you call?

To leave you a sexy message.

Shouldn't you be in class? It's nine.

You know what this means?

Detention? No.

No, I finally slept for like hours.

Yeah, you fell asleep talking to me on the phone last night. We talked last

night?

At like 4 a .m.

You were groggy. It was pretty cute.

Whatever. I'm just glad I finally got some rest.

I feel like a new man.

I should probably get to class.

Feel free to call back when you get a sexy message.

I don't know how you behave on a TV show, Zoe, but what you did yesterday

place in the real world.

Can't you just transfer me out of that class? You assaulted a teacher.

We may be talking about expulsion.

Zoe has a learning disability.

Mom!

Dyslexia.

Is this true?

Absolutely.

Zoe, will you require her help with tech?

No, I will not.

Can I have a minute with my daughter alone?

I can help.

How could you tell him that?

I just saved your ass.

He was going to kick you out. I wanted him to. Can't you just homeschool me?

Until you get another job, I have to get one of my own.

I'm not supposed to be here.

I know.

You should still be on West Drive.

But you got yourself fired.

Nobody wants to work with you now.

So do whatever it takes to make this work.

What is going on?

catching some rays during my spare?

Am I still dreaming?

Not cool, Drew.

If you didn't want to do the texting and driving campaign because of Adam, you

could have said so.

Fine, Claire.

Then I'm officially mad that you ordered this stuff without me.

What? I didn't order any of this stuff.

This invoice says otherwise.

out who did order all this stuff. Can you ask them to get us a mini wave pool,

too?

Yeah.

Dude, Claire is not happy.

I know.

Hilarious.

So did you order all the sand?

What? No, you did.

Last night?

You don't remember?

No. We were banging around the kitchen at like 3 a .m., so I got up. You were

eating ice cream and placing an order online.

What? All right, Bianca said that I talked to her, too.

I took those sleeping pills. I thought I slept so well.

Dude, those pills work for some people, but other people get crazy side effects.

So I ordered the sand.

Big time.

She really wanted that beach dance.

So what do I do?

Pray for a miracle and hope you win the voter council.

I think there might be a way.

Is anyone going to the basketball meetings right now? No, I'm going to

song. I'm thinking of starting a new band.

No, don't look at me. The only thing I do is basketball. It's because my dad

makes me.

Cool. I could play basketball.

Seriously? My brother played. I could do it. I have a killer jump shot.

You mean jump shot?

Seriously? Hey, do they have cheerleaders here?

Maybe I could cheer you guys on.

Let me put this in TV terms so you'll understand.

I don't do reruns.

Especially with mean girls like you.

Screw you.

Hey.

Hey. I need you.

I'm sorry?

For a student council meeting like now, can you?

Um, what do I have to do?

I'll explain on the way.

This is the coffee you find for in France?

What are we doing here?

I have no idea. I should have ordered the espresso.

I mean with us.

You coming here, what's our game plan?

To take a chance on love.

Okay, but what happens when you leave?

I won't. I can stay with my godfather as long as I want.

But what are you going to do?

I have a school and a family.

I've looked into transmitting to you. They have a great biology department.

And I'll get a job.

Where? Here.

They need someone to teach them how to make coffee.

You can do this, honey.

Okay, and what happens if you get jealous again?

I mean, last time you hurt me.

I didn't mean to. You left bruising. I overreacted. I lost control. It won't

happen again.

I don't want to be that person.

And I really hoped you could help me be better.

I have to get back to school.

Student council meeting.

No, stay here with me.

And I'll stay here with you.

Have you sorted out the sales?

Thought we might have the vote first.

We kind of already know how the vote's going to go, right?

Do we?

Why are there like 20 little girls here?

These are the new council members.

I filled some open positions.

The drama rep and the outdoors club rep.

No, you can't do that.

You want me to turn away enthusiastic new council members.

I'd like to call this meeting to order.

First up, the vote on council's first event. Claire?

I'd like to propose an anti -texting and driving campaign.

We'll hang 4 ,000 cell phones in the foyer, one for every teen texting and

driving death a year.

All those in favor?

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

And I propose a Degrassi beach bash stand.

Sun, sand, a fresh new start for everyone this year.

All in favor?

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine.

Who's ready to party?

What is it?

It's a democracy.

Well, if this is how you want to run council, you're on your own.

Andrew, you better get some sleep because it's going to take a lot of

wrangle all these children.

You think I'll sleep just fine? I hope so.

Looks like we have a dance to plan.

First things first.

I'm going to pull this off. I'm going to need everyone's contact information.

Feel free to call me anytime.

If you know anything about planning a dance, I definitely will.

I don't yet, but I'm a fast learner.

It's 4 a .m.

Hey, cutie.

How you doing?

Drew? I just wanted to call you and tell you how great you are.

That it was perfect.

Really? I'm so happy you fell into my arms.

Did I wake you?

Not you.

Not that you need your beauty sleep here.

You're already so pretty. You're the prettiest girl.

You have really pretty eyes.

Pretty in everything.
