Hey, thought you'd be at the dock cramming for history.

Problem plans, scholarship essays, my speech, my brain, chock -a -block.

So, are you up for a post -grad rededication of the J .T. York Memorial

Garden?

Really? Hatsalaka's approved it? Yep.

You, me, Emma, and Manny can have a moment for our fallen homie right after

grad.

Good. I always have time for J .T.'s memory.

Ooh, better get a couple tickets for me and the missus. Oh, where is Emma?

She and May are talking prom dresses again.

You also have the exam?

Well, my only question is, how will I cheat off Degrassi's smartest guy?

The real question is, will Degrassi's sexy genius get an A or an A plus?

Sexy genius?

That's a new one.

Liberty Van Zandt.

I submitted that essay weeks ago.

Are you serious?

Are you serious?

Of course.

The NTO plays today's best hits.

Thanks.

What? The NTO plays today's best... What, what, what? I, we, just won a

And Natasha freaking Bedingfield is playing at our prom. Holy cow.

That's crazy.

It's amazing. It's huge.

I can't believe we've almost made it through the whole year. A piece of cake,

Thuris. Next year, we're going to be Degrassi's hottest couple.

Boring losers, watch out.

And I have amazing news. My parents want to have you over for dinner. They want

to get to know you.

Really? Sweet.

Do you realize what this means? Now nothing's in our way.

Name's on your sheets. Drop them up front and have a nice life.

So, how'd you do?

Eh, pretty good.

You do it? I do.

Something I should know you to?

Every time I look, it seems like you're in on some kind of secret.

Show me the dollar.

Oh.

Announcement, everyone.

If you haven't already purchased your tickets...

Don't miss your chance to see Natasha Bedingfield live at our prom.

For real? I mean, Unwritten is my favorite song.

Liberty, you totally raved at the prom bar. We're so lucky.

I think we're all going to get lucky tonight.

No, I mean, she's at the concert.

She's singing.

Nice.

Liberty, I was wondering, strapless chiffon or vampy sap?

Uh, I mean, I was just wondering what dress you want to wear as my date.

Really? I'd love two taupes.

Really?

Great, great.

I'll catch you later, dance partner.

Absolutely, prom date.

Cool.

Toby, huh?

What'd you expect?

Option A was unavailable.

Hey, Jimmy.

Hey, don't you all look super fly?

Swanky Dave's been an international recording artist.

You gotta bring it.

Oh.

Oh.

Hey, call the fire department.

What do you think? Do anything?

Gorgeous. You have come a long way since grade seven.

Did you guys ever imagine we'd be doing this?

It's sad to think that we're all going to be going in different directions

But everything that we've been through has only made our friendship stronger.

Best girlfriend forever.

And to me.

Oh.

Hey, after I get Natasha's autograph, will you sign my yearbook?

For memory's sake.

Yeah, well, once I'm at Banting, I'll be a very distant one.

Banting? Yeah, I've been accepted, and if scholarships weren't... I'm going to

Banting, too.

You are?

Yeah. Maybe we'll be seeing a lot of each other.

I could get into that.

Cheers, Degrassi. Thank you for having me at your lovely prom. And now, let's

toast to your lucky contest winner...

Bye. Bye.

Bye.

Hold on a second. We need to talk.

Talk? School's over. You're not my principal anymore.

I may not be anyone's principal anymore.

Look, you know that your Gia's health hasn't been good.

So I've asked for a leave of absence.

We're going to be moving closer to her as soon as possible.

What? Mom, Grandma lives in Regina.

What about my friends? What about Darcy? I know you're going to miss Darcy.

Look, I'm sorry. The last thing I want to do is uproot your life again.

Well, then don't.

You go. I'll just stay here.

I've been good.

Peter, we've talked about this.

You've come a long way, but you've had your share of trouble. I cannot leave

on your own. Did you even talk to Dad about this? Can I just stay with him and

the new lady?

I'm sure you can guess what he had to say.

I'm sorry. I tried.

Yeah, well, maybe you didn't try hard enough.

Peter. I'm going out.

Peter!

I have to ask you something.

As a friend?

I have something to ask you, too, but not just as a friend.

It's Damien.

There's an undeniable attraction between us.

My heart says one thing, but I just keep thinking of Emma.

Thought I was your date. Yeah, you are.

As a friend.

Like always.

Why? Something different?

No, of course not. It's just... As for Damien, I've recently discovered that

following your heart sucks.

Just hit the jackpot near the urinal in the men's room.

No snappy come back?

I'm not going near that one.

This key gets us into the pool.

I just tried it. It works.

So did you girls pack your G -strings like I told you?

Betty.

Manny.

Oh, I tried them. We brought them through.

Be seen.

Now it's naughty. I like it. You are a notorious flirt.

But I think there's something here.

Something they're both feeling?

Wow.

Oh my God. I'm the other woman.

Graduates, are we enjoying ourselves?

Hey, where were you guys?

Just thinking Natasha Benningfield.

So which is it?

Well, you're missing out on all the fun. Are you afraid of a little water?

No, not at all.

Here we go.

Oh, her dress.

Black. My dad came back in it.

What about your conscience?

We saw you and Damien sneaking out together.

A simple explanation.

Save it.

It's obvious.

It was a momentary lapse of reason.

The more we tried to resist, the more exciting it became.

So you guys hooked up. Are you trying to ruin the best night of Emma's life?

I'm sorry, Manny.

I guess I should just face the music, tell Emma.

after graduation, but tonight just keep your mouth shut and stay far away from

Damien.

Hey, Val Victoria here. End of year with a splash. Come on, jump.

It's after midnight.

I kind of wanted to talk to you in private.

Anything you have to say, you can say it in front of my fiancé.

Must be pretty important, dragging us away from the casino.

I was on a run.

Mom says we're moving.

I know.

You know, your grandma's going to be happy to have you and your mom close by.

Yeah, but I have a life here. Can I just stay with you?

Your mom brought that up, Pete.

But she doesn't want to take you away.

Cool. So I'll move in?

Missy and I have a life, too.

And with the baby, we... We just... We won't have room.

I'm your son. You can make room.

Look, you're just best off with your mom.

Regina's not so bad.

Maybe you and I can catch an Argos game before you go.

Don't you wish JT were here?

Your recently deceased ex -boyfriend?

You remember that time when... Toby, JT's virtually the last thing on my mind

right now.

You can't even say that.

I have more pressing concerns.

I followed my heart, and it did not suck, despite what you say.

Hey, how's the day going?

It's okay.

Toby knows about us, and he can keep a secret.

Right, Prandy?

So she told you we had ourselves a little fun, huh?

Fun?

Oh, no.

I have to keep the brakes on that.

The girl is wild.

Hey, thanks for keeping me on the down low, huh?

Liberty said you'd do anything for her.

Oh, don't worry. I won't tell anyone that Liberty and Damien fooled around,

now he's bragging about it.

Snap. Toby, you're kidding, right?

He's not.

Oh, my God. Am I the only one that didn't know about this?

I was going to tell you.

Yeah, because that makes it so much better.

Thanks for ruining my prom night, pig.

My valedictorian speech emphasizes the importance of friendship.

Ironic. Nice timing.

You're moving to Regina?

Well, my mom is, so am I.

You can't. Not now.

Everything's just starting to come together for us. Please don't go.

What can we do? Elope?

Elope and go where?

I can do with divorced parents.

I wish you could get divorced from them.

Wait.

Darcy, there's totally a way.

Mr. Van Vant's a lawyer. He's here for grad.

Okay, and?

I'm going to make it so no one can tell me what to do.

Emma just dumped me.

Any chance you need a practice audience?

Why bother?

Just like you and Manny and you and Emma, you and I will undoubtedly amount

nothing.

I really wanted to go down like this.

How am I supposed to stand in front of my friends?

My former friends.

And try to summarize what six years of friendship has meant to me.

If they're real friends, they'll understand.

Acquiring an education is about more than earning a diploma.

It's also about your friends, who have seen you in your worst moments and love

you just the same.

Unfortunately, one friend did not finish the journey.

His name is James Tiberius York.

If JT's death has taught me anything, it's that the worst mistakes are the

you never learn from.

And also, to never, ever take your friends for granted.

I'm sorry.

This is obviously an emotional time for our graduates.

Are you okay?

Only ruined the happiest day of our lives with my asinine selfishness.

I understand if you're furious with me right now.

I am.

With Damien.

I am not ready to throw away six years of our friendship.

It's like you said.

It's only a mistake if you never learn from it.

You've done so much for us.

For the whole school.

I think you deserve to be cut some slack.

Lots of it.

I don't think I've ever been cut slack before.

Dude, I could bungee jump with all the slack I've been cut.

Want to head back in there?

Come on.

We've got some serious graduating today.

Toby Isaac.

Gavin Mason.

The pen in my hand, tending unproned.

Staring at the blank page before you open up the sturdy window.

your dad about some legal stuff?

Sure. You jamming tomorrow?

No, it's his rules.

You need some legal advice?

How does a guy get emancipated?

Emancipated? You sure you know what that means?

Yeah, I saw it on The Simpsons. Bart gets emancipated from his parents, then

moves in next to Tony Hawk.

Oh, boy.

We can talk about this in my office, but generally there's three ways.
