To be confirmed.

Absolutely. Thank you.

Eric, pull the tuition hike story.

You sure? That's your girlfriend's story. I don't care if it's Ellie's

needs to be pulled.

What needs to be pulled?

Sorry, Frosh, your story got the kibosh.

Something that came up with her subtext lecture series.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, what? Huh? Why? The what?

Look, every year the Corps hosts a speaker to inspire us on the news that's

being covered type stuff.

Uh, the press comes, editor hosts the Q &A, kind of a big deal. And I just got

off the phone with Bill Lai.

You yanked my front page story for the seance guy?

Yep, and it's confirmed for the lecture.

I slaved over that report. You promised me the lead.

I knew that was a bad idea.

I heard that.

Okay, who here thinks Jesse's right in pulling my story?

I'd rather not get involved in any domestic disputes.

Guys, this isn't about me and him. This is a professional matter.

So be professional, okay?

I need you to take this hit for me.

Bye.

Come on.

All right. Good.

You're on the horse course.

Kim, is that with a Y or an I?

Y, actually.

Cool. So unique.

Well, I'll send you over those quotes, Kim, with a Y.

Thanks, Jessie with an E.

Thanks, Jessie with an E.

You have two settings, off and flirt.

She was the one trying to flirt her way into discount ad rates.

What a fool of me.

I didn't know you had a thing for older women.

I don't. I have a thing for women.

You know I like my redheads with blue eyes.

I have green eyes.

Everything okay?

I'll be.

I want people around here to take me seriously. As a journalist and not your

girlfriend. Well, you can't be both.

9 -1 -1. Bill, I just bailed on the lecture.

What?

Oh, this is bad.

Yeah, and we have no lead story.

Okay, you know what? Run Ellie's piece to where Schneck it is.

There you go, Frosh. Thank you.

But what about the lecture? Can I help?

Yeah, if you happen to know someone famous.

Hey.

Your locker partner around?

Your BFF Holly J?

She's not here.

Hey, great jeans.

These? Yeah.

Thanks.

Scooch, Mama Mia.

Was Anya bothering you?

No. She was just waiting for her boss to arrive.

Who, little old me?

I'm flattered.

Love the jeans, by the way.

Actually, yeah, I was just commenting on them. Yeah, they really highlight your

cellulite.

Anya was too busy nerding out to notice.

Very funny.

Truly. See, Anya gives much better compliments than you do.

They might be a bit tight.

Anya, don't listen to her.

Anya, we're going. Let's go.

Caitlin!

Ellie Nash?

What are you doing here?

I heard you might be in town, and I thought I'd drop by.

And you just happened to know that I'd be right here right now.

A little investigative journalism, perhaps?

You taught me everything I know.

A caffeinated toast to Caitlin Ryan, journalistic royalty among us. And to

for having the chutzpah of a great journalist.

How the heck did you pull this off, huh?

It was one of the most influential environmentalists around.

Well, Caitlin was my advisor back at Degrassi.

I love to support my alma mater.

Ellie was so young and so determined.

She just soaked everything up like a sponge.

Sounds like our frosh. And when I heard she'd be in town for the premiere of

Storm of Controversy... She convinced me to screen the doc for your lecture

series. I can't believe I'm going to get to interview the Caitlin Ryan.

Oh.

Actually, Caitlin thought it'd be great if I did the Q &A.

Mentee, mentor.

I think with our history together, it would be fantastic.

I guess I can't argue with that, can I?

You may be asking yourself, Mr. Bintz, what kind of crazy game are you trying

play? In fact, with this bowling ball and these tennis balls, you'll be

demonstrating theories of gravity expounded upon by Galileo, card anya

maybe you could continue reading for us

at which point is the

tennis ball pulled towards the blowing um pulled into

the blowing ball come on anya clap it out you've only read the chapter 10

hey just let her finish okay with her dyslexia We'll be here until Labor Day.

Enough.

The tennis ball gets pulled into the bowling ball's gravity.

Your lab will show the results of this experiment.

Partner up.

Hey, Annie, do you want to... Excuse me?

We're always partners.

What? Everyone already knows you're dyslexic. Don't be so touchy.

You're right, Holly J.

Sorry.

One dog, please.

No, a sausage.

Why am I so hungry?

Well, you've had a busy day.

Tracking down Caitlyn, poaching my Q &A. I did not poach the Q &A from you.

Caitlyn wanted me to do it.

It's great you have a pro to take you under her wing.

You know how rare that is.

She's not like a fairy godmother, Jessie. She just wanted to give me a

guess.

Caitlyn's amazing.

You have to tell me how she likes the hors d 'oeuvres at the dean's reception

for her.

Okay.

Howdy, Von Poutmeister. Go to the reception.

Tell Caitlin I can't wait to see her tomorrow.

Well, come with me, okay? I'll sneak in.

Honestly, I've got to prepare for pretty much the most important thing I've ever

done. Plus, it would be good for you to get to know Caitlin.

Thanks.

You never fail to surprise me, Frosh.

Life is full of surprises, boss man.

You picked a fine night to try to study.

Remind me again why we chose an engineering roommate.

Lucho Marvelous Margarita? Trying to get some work done.

Coasters, people.

Coasters. Okay, Mom.

Speaking of...

How is your mom doing these days? Oh, come on.

You,

tequila, your family history. She's fine.

She's been sober for 17 months now. Thank you very much. She's asking.

And just because she can't drink doesn't mean I can't.

Okay.

Planet Fart in crisis.

And that's just after one sip.

Okay. It's nice and quiet at the core right now. Bye.

Shall I call walk -safe?

Jesse?

Ellie?

Caitlin?

Surprise.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Ellie, can we talk, please?

My boyfriend slash boss making out with my mentor.

What's the discuss?

We had a lot to drink at the reception.

We flirted a bit, but I didn't mean for it to happen. What, to get caught?

Why, Caitlin, do you have any idea how awkward this makes the Q &A? How am I

going to face her?

You're more concerned about that than about us. Oh, there is no more us,

Look, I know I'm not perfect, okay? That'd make a mistake. With the famous

journalist ten years older than you. And I hate myself for it.

But I won't just walk away.

Fine.

Fine, then.

I quit the newspaper.

Come on.

Doesn't that seem a little drastic to you? You're just done? Well, it's not

I want to quit, but you know what people say about us around the office as it

is.

I can't date the boss, so leaving the Corps is the only way this is going to

work.

And it doesn't mean I'm not still mad at you.

Do you want to hang out with Stav and the guys at lunch?

But we have our science project, and I thought you said you needed a name this

time. Oh, Anya, you give me so little credit.

A sister's old lab.

Or another A+. All we have to do is retype, reuse, recycle.

You mean cheat.

Holly J., I don't think that's a good idea.

Hey, if Mr. Benz is too lazy to put the effort into changing the project, then

why should we put the effort into doing it? Because it's not that hard.

And what if we get caught?

We won't.

Look, I'm just trying to get an A for once.

Yeah, but I'm not a cheater.

Don't get all excited.

If that's what you want to do, it's fine with me.

Don't make fun of me in class.

I don't tell people that your parents got you a private tutor.

Hey, Rochelle, you want to have lunch?

Okay, I'll do it.

See? You're not that dumb.

Luckily, I double -bagged every outfit I own before Griffin's engineering

soiree. And you left us with the mess.

Nice. We need something that says professional, talented.

How about something like this?

Great.

Jessie, kiss Caitlin.

Excusez -moi.

Jesse and Caitlin?

Saw them making out. At the core.

Ew, I can't believe you were ever with that guy.

I can't believe I was ever with that guy.

Still with him.

Hon, pardon my French, but what is wrong with you?

Hide the phone.

Caitlin was on a 3B5 list.

And when you're in a... a mature relationship, you can't just walk away.

Hon, sometimes walking away is the mature thing to do.

What am I doing?

I can't do this Q &A with Caitlin.

That, hon, is something you can't walk away from.

It's a huge opportunity for you.

No, it should have been Jesse's opportunity. Maybe this is karma.

Sometimes... You have to choose between your professional life and your love

life.

Don't make the wrong choice.

I think I already did.

Yellow's a bad idea.

Stay right there.

If you did your lab correctly, you should have found that gravity

further the tennis ball got from the bowling ball.

Mr. Ben?

Yes, Ms. Sinclair?

That assignment on you just handed in?

It's plagiarized.

That's a serious accusation. Right. That's why, even though we're partners,

went ahead and did my own.

Is this true, Ms. McPherson?

No, um, Holly J. was the one... He's right.

It's my fault.

Somehow she got her hands on my sister Heather's old project, but I never

thought she'd hand it in.

Can you come see me, please?

Thanks. Thank you.

I'm so embarrassed.

I'm sorry you saw that.

Never let a college guy talk you into a drinking game.

Um, Caitlin...

Before we start, don't be nervous. You're going to be great.

Remember, when we're sitting out there, it's just us having a candid

conversation. Easier said than done.

Your editor had some pretty nice things to say about you last night.

He did.

Excuse me. I'm going to need to get you mic'd up.

I'll give you all the mortifying details later, okay?

Details? Goodie, just whatever.

I'll meet you in two minutes.

Oh, um, sorry.

Thank you.

An aspiring journalist often worships her idols from afar, but I've been lucky

enough to sit alongside a world -class reporter who was happy to share her

insights into the world of media.

Please welcome the filmmaker, the activist, and my mentor,

Caitlin Ryan.

Uh, um, Caitlin.

We are honored to have a screening of Storm of Controversy here tonight.

Well, thank you for helping me to bring attention to this issue.

And you've been raising quite the controversy while on your cross -country

haven't you?

Well, I definitely like to make people think, and I think that controversy is a

big part of change.

Yeah, your film seems to encourage responsible consumption, but does that

to alcohol consumption?

I suppose it would.

I'm not sure what that has to do with climate change.

Right.

Um, sorry.

I think what you're getting at is that rather than soberly accept the fact that

we're bringing this planet to the brink, humanity is wandering around in a

drunken state. No.

Why'd you hook up with Jesse?

Why?

And how was it, Jesse?

Was it worth it?

What's the story morning glory

Take it down a few notches, please.

You're hungover.

Ellie, I thought we talked about that.

Hello. Hi.

Famous Caitlin Ryan in my house?

Uh, could I have a sec with Ellie?

I have a bunch of sex.

Uh, well, not sex.

Yeah, I'm just gonna go.

Welcome to my abode.

So I'm here to ask why you humiliated me in public.

What right do you have to comment on my private life?

Um, Jesse is my boyfriend.

Why didn't you tell me?

I'm sleeping with the boss.

I thought that might look unprofessional.

Ellie, if I'd had any idea, um, Jesse didn't say anything. I know.

I know.

And that's why I quit the paper.

You what?

Why would you do that?

I wanted me and Jesse to work so badly.

You could be a great journalist.

Don't let a freshman romance stand in the way of your career.

I learned that the hard way.

And, um, I smelled booze on your breath last night.

Hey.

At least now you'll have your independence from the evil Holly J.

The evil Holly J.

Untrue, but it has a nice ring to it.

Hey, Anya.

Adam's friend Sav's birthday bash tonight.

You want to come?

Sounds great.

Can we go together?

Of course.

Later.

Are you crazy?

Come on, I mean, you need to break free of her.

So I'm free to be alone, like you, on a Friday night.

I'd rather take a zero on my assignment.

Surprise, it's for you here.

I made a mistake.

Just trying to fix it.

Well, I'm just glad you're back, Frosch.

And I promise I will never cheat on you again.

I'm back at the core.

Not with you.

And from now on, call me Ellie.
