1 [crowd clapping and cheering.]
[chanting.]
Let's go, Panthers! Let's go! Let's go, Panthers! Let's go! Let's go, Panthers! Let's go! Okay, after a nail-biter against Newman High, our girls' volleyball team have advanced to the city finals.
Student council has arranged for a bus to take fans to the game, so talk to Zoë or Winston to sign up.
Hashtag, squad goals.
Yeah, wait until we bring home the trophy.
If Northern Tech will let me play.
You apologized for the prank.
What else could they want? [scoffs.]
For my ex-boyfriend to disappear forever? Oh, no, that's just me.
- Hey, Tiny.
- Hi, Frankie.
Lola.
Shay, can I borrow you for a minute to talk about physics? Uh sure.
Come on.
- Mmm that's definitely not physics.
- Then biology.
I can't keep kissing my best friend's boyfriend.
Ex-boyfriend.
Things with us are finally in a good place.
- I don't wanna mess it up.
- Maybe you don't have to.
When Lo wanted to date me, she asked you for permission, right? - Right.
- You could do the same.
- You're smart.
- [chuckles.]
So you keep telling me.
Almost forgot.
Mojo.
You wear it under your clothes for good luck.
- For the game or for Lola? - [chuckles.]
Both.
Well, I'll definitely need it.
[theme music playing.]
Whatever it takes I know I can make it through And if I hold out I know I can make it through Be the best, be the best The best that I can be Whatever it takes I know I can make it I know I can make it through [phone rings.]
- Hello? - [woman.]
Hi, Mrs.
Hollingsworth, please.
Sure, I'll get her.
[shouts.]
Mom! I was in another room, not another country.
Could you keep it short? I'm expecting a call.
- From your girlfriend? - Me and Yael haven't defined anything yet.
Well, I assume that's the agenda for tonight's date? I have ears.
Your dad and I will be at a game, but Miles will be here to keep you out of trouble.
I can't believe I just said that.
- [clears throat.]
- Yeah, I'll keep it short.
We wouldn't have this problem if you let me have a cell phone.
First, you have to earn back our trust.
Diana Hollingsworth.
- Oh, hi, Dev.
- The lawyer? You have news about Hunter's plea? [sighs.]
But he wasn't well at the time.
[inhales sharply.]
The swatting cost $15,000? [sighs.]
Okay.
Keep us updated.
[inhales sharply.]
The other side didn't accept the plea bargain.
Your case is going to court in a month, maybe two.
Am I going to prison? Lawyer thinks we can keep you out of juvie if you keep your nose clean.
Which I will.
You know I will.
And then we're looking at probation.
Did he say anything about me going back to Degrassi next year? He's working on it.
[Zoë sighs.]
Need a hand? - Nope.
I got it.
- Since when are you Miss School Spirit? [sighs.]
Winston's on student council.
- He and I are dating now, you know? - Yeah, I know.
I've seen your timeline.
Why are you being so nice to me? [sighs.]
I don't know.
Maybe because you saved my life? I was the only one who knew about your CF.
Not anymore.
I told Maya.
I'll probably tell Zig and Tiny, too.
But you worked so hard to keep it a secret.
Life's too short to keep pushing people away.
Especially mine.
[chuckles.]
Hey, sweetums.
Well, I'm glad you're happy, Grace, - because I'm happy, too.
- [Grace scoffs.]
[bell ringing.]
Hey, Lo.
Can I ask you something? Remember when I used to like Tiny, and when you wanted to date him, you asked for my permission? And you said yes, which was the sweetest.
Now I'm asking you the same thing.
- You want to date Tiny? - But I won't, unless you clear it.
- Well, you two would look hot together.
- Really? - Plus, you both love science.
[chuckles.]
- That is true.
- You're obviously very well suited.
- I couldn't agree more.
Which is why it's a hard no.
What? But when you asked, I said yes.
And I saw how hard that was for you.
Tiny was my bae for eight months.
Imagine how I'll feel.
Sorry, but thanks for asking.
[Zoë.]
Um I don't see the mascot costume.
- Well, maybe I'll wear this instead.
- [scoffs.]
Might be a little small.
I bet it's just your size.
You know, I've always had a cheerleader fantasy.
[chuckles.]
Come on.
We don't wanna get caught making out.
You're my girlfriend.
I've got nothing to hide.
[groans.]
- Am I doing something wrong? - No.
Then is there something wrong with you? - Just not in the mood.
- You never are.
I'm just worried there's a problem.
Yeah, my horndog boyfriend and his pervy fantasies.
[stuttering.]
I'm sorry That was a joke.
So is whatever this relationship is.
Winston! [all.]
Go, Panthers! - [all chuckling.]
- Now let's go kick some Northern butt.
Um I forgot my kneepads in my locker.
- Okay.
- [Lola and Frankie chuckle.]
[Frankie.]
Come on, girls! The team bus is leaving now.
I made you a sign.
- Uh, I'm no da Vinci, but - We can't date.
Lola said no? But we can still be friends and lab partners.
- And you'd be happy with that? - Well, I haven't been happy all year.
Why start now? - This is crap! - Excuse me? I wanted you way before Lola, but you said no.
Because I didn't want any distractions.
And now here you are, distracting me right before volleyball finals.
I'm sorry I can't turn off my feelings whenever I want.
Well, then maybe we aren't well suited for each other.
Guess not.
Can we just talk about this later? I have my game.
I hope you'll still come.
I wouldn't want to distract you.
- Girls like candles.
- It'll look like I'm trying.
Girls also like that.
[sniffs.]
Okay, you gotta go.
Yael will be here soon.
All right.
Holler if you need anything.
[Vijay.]
Hunter? Uh, shouldn't you guys be at the game? We felt bad that you're still not allowed at school events, so Ready for some Panthermonium? If you dress as the mascot, we can sneak you in.
That's really thoughtful, but I don't wanna cause any trouble.
Do you guys wanna tell me about it tomorrow? What are these guys doing here? Oh, my God.
Candles, adorable snacks This is a date.
- You can go now.
- I can't even Okay, hold on.
We need to discuss how this relationship is gonna work.
- We? - Yes, this could ruin the delicate dynamics of our friend group.
Okay, now that you've voiced your concerns, you really can go.
Okay, not until we lay down some ground rules.
[Tristan on PA.]
The fan bus for volleyball finals will be leaving in ten minutes.
Go, Panthers, go.
[shutter clicks.]
[Grace.]
You okay? What, are you, like, stalking me now? You weren't checking people onto the bus and Winston seemed upset.
We had a stupid fight.
- Do you want to talk about it? - No, I'll go apologize.
Is this you? Are you hurting yourself? - Give it back.
- Show me your leg.
Whatever.
Lots of people do it.
That doesn't make it okay.
Self-harm is serious.
It'd be a lot easier to come out than to keep pushing people away.
So some stupid girl can break my heart again? Besides, I'm not gay.
I have a boyfriend.
Yeah, until you push him away, too.
Okay, uh vámonos, people.
This bus won't wait for anyone.
Not even el presidente.
Hey, I'm ready to get my cheer on.
Tiny, on or off? [chuckles.]
Come on, dude.
Go watch your girl.
She's not my girl.
And she never will be if you miss her big game.
Is it weird if I come, too? [chuckles.]
Only if you're weird.
[chuckles.]
- Yeah, he's definitely weird.
- [Grace chuckles.]
The blue and gold The brave and the bold So many stories to be told Of battles fought and victories won - There's my sexy boyfriend.
- [scoffs.]
Don't you mean pervy? I'm sorry about what I said before.
I was trying to push you away.
[students continue singing.]
We come together as a team Let's skip the volleyball game.
I wanna spend some alone time with you.
Once you have everyone on the bus, meet me in the equipment room.
- I have a very special surprise.
- [chuckles.]
[students continue singing.]
Degrassi is my home [sighs.]
- [Baaz.]
What about hand holding? - This is stupid.
I don't think a frank discussion about acceptable levels of PDA during a group hang qualifies as stupid.
You guys don't have a say in our relationship.
- [Baaz.]
What about when you break up? - We're not breaking up.
Of course you will.
Everyone does.
What happens to us? I'm Team Yael.
If you guys break up, it's for sure Hunter's fault.
Okay, if we break up, it will be an amicable split.
Do not humor them.
- What if he does something crazy? - I would never.
[Baaz.]
Dude, you just got out of a psychiatric hospital.
You were diagnosed with depression and ODD.
That's not fair, okay? He's better.
[Baaz.]
For now.
But he's basically just a ticking time bomb.
Plus, he could still go to juvie for the swatting.
Get out.
Now! - Don't listen to them, okay? - You, too.
- Hunter.
- Go! [breath trembling.]
Come on.
If we hustle, we can still catch the bus to the game.
[announcer.]
Good afternoon, folks, and welcome to the final match of the senior girls' high school championship.
- [crowd cheering.]
- [chuckles.]
Look at all the people.
Yeah, just wait until our fans get here.
Right, Shay? Are you okay? You've seemed off all day.
- Yeah, just nervous, I guess.
- Me, too.
- So we meet again.
- I'm really sorry for everything.
Yeah, I know.
I read all about it online.
- Do you buy it? - I do.
What I did was racist.
I didn't understand, but now I do.
If you want, I'll sit out, but then you won't be playing our best team.
You can play [scoffs.]
but we'll still win.
That I can't promise.
- Thanks.
- Did I have a choice? She's sorry.
What else do you want? The world to be a better place.
I'm just sick of always having to be the bigger person.
Aren't you? [Frankie and Lola laughing.]
- [exhales deeply.]
- Heard shouting.
Where's Yael? What's with this? I sent her home.
It isn't gonna work out.
Why not? You two are weird in all the same ways.
She's, like, this amazingly badass girl, and I'm a head case who will probably be in juvie next year.
I don't want to hurt her.
- Then don't.
- Like it's so easy? I nearly lost it when she was here.
- But you didn't.
- Who's to say I won't next time? I still see a shrink three times a week.
I don't know if I'm ever going back to school.
Mom doesn't even trust me with a computer.
Why would anyone wanna date me? Look, for a long time, I didn't think I deserved to be happy, either.
So instead, I just hurt myself and everyone else around me.
You didn't choose to be built the way you are, so you can only be the best Hunter you can be.
[chuckles.]
That is seriously cheesy, bro.
Well, it doesn't make it any less true.
- Where is Yael right now? - At the game, I think.
She probably hates my guts.
If she's as awesome as you say, I think she'll understand.
We'll just have to find a way to sneak you inside.
I think I might have an idea.
[crowd cheering.]
[announcer.]
Okay, folks, we're ready to get started with the first play.
Degrassi has first possession as both teams line up.
[whistle blows.]
- [Shay and Lola.]
Mine! - [whistle blows.]
[announcer.]
Oh, what happened there? Degrassi loses their possession.
Mine! - [whistle blows.]
- [announcer.]
Oh! And again! Mine! [whistles blows.]
[announcer.]
Bad communication.
Point Northern Tech.
- Lola, switch with me! Go! - Wait [grunts.]
[Shay and Frankie.]
Mine! - [both grunt.]
- [whistle blows.]
- What the heck? - I said I had it! We'll never win if you hog the court.
So what, I'm supposed to give up the ball like everything else? - Time out! - [whistle blows.]
[announcer.]
Time out Degrassi, with our Gazelles pulling ahead, 14-13.
If you don't want me to play, I won't.
I'm just so sick of having to give up everything I want for other people.
Volleyball, sports camp, Tiny I mean, I thought he'd at least show up.
Well, maybe the bus got caught in traffic.
I haven't seen Jonah yet.
You know, all year, I've tried to do the right thing but what do I get in return? [Lola.]
Text him.
But you still have feelings.
[sighs.]
Summer's coming, and for sure I'll meet a cute boy at the beach.
Maybe two.
Quick! Before I change my mind.
So, what now? We win this game.
[chuckles.]
Whoa.
[singsong.]
There's a boy.
He's so fine.
I'm so glad, he's mine, mine, mine.
This is just like my dream.
Except, at the end, you turned into a zombie and sucked out my brains.
- This'll turn out much better.
- Zo You know, if I pressured you You didn't.
I'm going to make this relationship work.
[breathing heavily.]
[Winston.]
Mmm.
- Are you okay? - [breath trembling.]
I'm fine.
Uh Whoa, stop.
Mmm.
No.
Stop! Why are you being weird? This is what you wanted, isn't it? - No, this is not normal.
- Because I'm not normal.
[stutters.]
Whatever's wrong, it can't be that bad.
[inhales sharply.]
I'm gay.
[stammering.]
You? Seriously? [sniffling.]
Do you hate me? No No, no, of course not.
- You can't choose who you are.
- I thought I could do it.
I tried so hard.
[sobs.]
Is that why you were hurting yourself? - You knew? - I wasn't sure and I didn't know how to bring it up, but you should probably get help.
[stuttering.]
For that.
Not the other thing.
Grace offered to help but I pushed her away.
You know, she took the bus to the game.
I I can give you a ride.
Okay.
You're a good guy.
So girls keep telling me.
Do you think that after all this, we can still be friends? On one condition.
[sighs.]
When you come out you clarify I had nothing to do with it.
[chuckles.]
Deal.
[announcer.]
Okay, folks, Degrassi has pulled things together, and we have a tie game.
[whistle blows.]
- [whistle blows.]
- [cheering.]
[whistle blows.]
- [whistle blowing.]
- [all cheering.]
[girls.]
We're number one! We're number one! - No Tiny? - Well, at least I have my girls.
- Aw.
[chuckles.]
- And a trophy.
- I really like winning.
- That makes two of us.
Congratulations, girls.
Let's shake hands.
[Lola giggles.]

- Good game.
- Good game.
- Good game.
- Good game.
- Good game.
- Are you okay? - We just won finals.
I'm great.
You haven't heard? [gasps.]
I can't find Yael, Baaz, or Vijay.
Ditto on Tristan.
Where's all the Degrassi fans? [Lola shouting.]
What? What's going on? - The bus with the Degrassi fans - Mmm-hmm? It didn't make it.
You mean it got, like, a flat or something? It crashed.
- [sighs.]
Tristan's not answering.
- Give me your phone.
[line ringing.]
- [Yael.]
Hello? - [sighs.]
You're okay.
Where are you? I'm at the game.
We missed the bus.
Baaz's mom drove us.
I am so sorry about before.
I was scared I was gonna do something crazy.
- Did you? - I hurt you once.
I don't ever wanna do that again.
So you need to promise to me if I ever scare you, you run and never look back.
Okay? Okay but I'm a little scared right now.
Why? [Frankie.]
Who was on the bus? [Winston.]
I I have the list.
[Zoë.]
Grace.
[Winston.]
Tristan, Zig, Maya.
[Frankie.]
Jonah.
[Shay and Lola.]
Tiny! Maybe the crash wasn't that serious.
[reporter.]
A school bus filled with local city high school students This looks pretty serious.
on their way to a volleyball tournament has been involved in a major accident on the Don Valley Parkway.
Oh, no.
While no fatalities have been reported, a number of students are being rushed to hospital, at least one in critical condition.
The names have not been released.
- Are you okay? - [crying.]
[line ringing.]
[on voicemail.]
Hey, this is Tiny.
Leave a message.
[crying.]
Guys, don't worry.
It'll be okay.
It has to be okay.
[somber music playing.]
