Degrassi: Dead and Gone (Part 2)

"I need to end this"

Tonight was the finale to Degrassi: Now or Never! It concluded with an episode named after a T.I song. It's prom night and the students show up at the off campus dance.


Katie walks in with Drew and is shocked to find out he invited Bianca. Adam and Katie warn him about having Bianca there bu the insists that someone needs to be there for Bianca. Drew tries to push Bianca and Katie to get along. Later Katie and Drew get up to dance and Bianca takes Adam out to the dance floor. The two have fun and Bianca apologizes for the events that happened last semester when they took ballroom dancing together. Bianca has a fun safe night and thanks Drew for helping her. Things turn ugly when Vince shows up and Bianca finds out Drew talked to him. Vince gets rough with Bianca and Drew stands up for her. He beats up Vince and orders him to leave. To every one's horror Vince pulls out a gun and fires two shots into the audience before he runs out. After Vince leaves everyone stands up. Drew makes sure Katie is okay but then sees Clare and Eli sitting next to Adam who has been shot. Katie tries to help Adam while the police are on their way. Bianca grabs Vince's gun and announces that she needs to end this. The EMT's assure Drew that Adam should be okay. Drew asks Clare and Eli to ride in the ambulance with him and he has a moment with his brother before he leaves to find Bianca and Katie goes along. He finds Bianca waiting in the ally with a gun. He tells not to shoot Vince but she would rather go to prison then continue the way things are now. Drew promises to find a way to keep Bianca safe and get rid of Vince and his guys, he gets the gun from her. Adam's emotional Mom meets him at the hospital. That night Vince is arrested by the police. By morning Drew, Bianca, and Katie arrive at the hospital where his mother is angry for him bringing Bianca. Drew informs her how much Bianca sacrificed to put Vince away and now she needs their help with a lawyer. His mother agrees to help Bianca out.


Clare left for prom early and Jake knows how upset she is. His father warns her how difficult it would be dating his soon to be stepsister. Jake and Clare meet up together at prom. She's upset that he's not upset about their parents getting married. She demands that they team up to stop the wedding. The two get into an argument and Jake suggest that they cool down their relationship. Jake then walks out of the prom and leaves Clare with her friends. After Adam is shot at prom, Eli and Clare go with him to the hospital where Clare catches Eli up on what's going on with her Jake. Eli is sorry that her relationship is ending but she suggests that it wasn't meant to be.


The Degrassi seniors enjoy their last night together. They video chat with Holly J who is in the hospital. Sav tells them he forgot the crowns and excuses himself back to Degrassi and enlists Ms. Oh to be his ride. Riley and Zane chat and Riley informs him that he officially came out to his mom and soon his father. Zane then shares that the two will be going to the same school. Sav surprises Ms. Oh with a romantic night planned at Degrassi. The romance is interrupted when they get texts alerting them about the shooting. They return to see Adam being taken to an ambulance and she proclaims that they made a mistake. The next day Sav gets ready to take Alli to her science program but stops to say goodbye to Ms. Oh. She assures him that if things were different then they could be together and kisses him goodbye. Sav looks at the hand prints that Holly J, Chantay and Anya left behind. He tells Alli that he'll miss the intense Degrassi. She assures him that she'll keep him updated as the drama never stops at Degrassi.

This was by far one of Degrassi's best episodes and not just because of the shooting. Alica Josipovic and Luke Bilyk really seemed to be lacking acting skills in season 10 but they have been two of the strongest this season and tonight was their finest. This was probably the most closure we've ever gotten on a graduating class from Degrassi. This episode gets an A+ and Now or Never has been a great ride.

Though the Halloween Special seems oddly placed. It's hard for one to tell whether it's for real or another fantasy Halloween scenario.

Degrassi: Dead and Gone (Part 1)

"This ends now"

Tonight premiered the beginning of the finale to Degrassi: Now or Never with an episode named after a T.I song. It's almost time for prom and people have to make now or never decisions.


Adam and Drew are getting ready to help out at Grade 9 orientation. Bianca is expected to be there as well and Adam warns Drew to stay away from her. On their way into school they see Bianca with Vince outside. Katie is in charge and Drew asks her to put him with Bianca so he can figure out what she's up to. He confronts Bianca about seeing her with Vince but she orders him to drop it. Drew goes through Bianca's phone when she's not looking and sees that she is dating Vince. Adam suggest that he drop it, but Drew says he's ready for whatever Vince brings. He finally confronts her and Bianca admits that she is doing everything for Vince to protect Drew because he's the one good thing in her life. She shows Drew her bruises that Vince gave her and begs Drew not to fight Vince. He tells Katie that he has to help Bianca, but Katie worries about him getting violent again. Drew gives Bianca a ticket to prom to keep her away from Vince for the night. He then pretends to be her using her phone to text Vince to meet up. Drew surprises Vince when he shows up to talk with him. Drew warns Vince to stay away from Bianca and then gloats that he's going to prom with her. The two agree that it's over, but Vince is clearly insincere.

Clare and Jake have not told their parents that they are together, especially since their parents are involved right now. Jake expects their parents to break up soon enough. Her mother surprises them when she invites Jake and his dad over for dinner. Jake tries to get his dad to reschedule so that he can get to prom, but his father informs him that the dinner is to announce their engagement. At the dinner their parents announce their engagement with stuns Clare, but Jake pretends to be overly happy. Clare thinks it's too early for her to remarry right after the divorce. Clare drops the bomb that she and Jake are dating as well. Her mother insist that they end things now.

Mo and Sav are excited for school to be out. Sav informs Mo that he is planning on getting with Ms. Oh now that he has graduated. He tries to set up a date with her and they realize that tonight at prom is their only chance to spend time together as they will be a part all summer before Sav goes away to university. The two realize they should leave things as they are. Anya and Sav stop by to visit Holly J at the hospital after her procedure, but break the news that they need help finishing up the plans for prom. Sav questions about privacy places at the off campus prom. The three original Lakehurst kids reflect on their past relationships both girls had with Sav. Mo pushes Sav to try to romance Ms. Oh at Degrassi while everyone else is at prom.

So far this episode is already streets ahead of The Boiling Point finale! It's hard to believe that tomorrow is the finale to Degrassi: Now or Never! We will post a review along with tomorrow night's recap.

Tomorrow: Dead and Gone (Part 2)

Pretty Little Liars: Over My Dead Body



"Two can only keep a secret if one of them is dead"

The episode starts off with Spencer, Hanna, and Aria at the police station covered in dirt. Detective Wilden has returned to finally prove that these girls murdered Alison. 12 hours earlier we see the girls at Dr. Sullivan's house looking for her, but she has not returned home and left a voicemail saying she is out of town. Later the girls are at Spencer's house where they get the Ransom note ordering them to do what A says by 6pm. Back at the police discover that the record on how Alison died is gone. Aria makes an emotional phone call. Toby shows up to see Spencer but is unable to. Spencer's parents show up as well as Jason DiLaurentis who assures Spencer's father that he knows his secret that even his wife would be surprised to hear.

Most of the episode takes place earlier that day leading up to the girls being arrested.


Aria stops by to see Ezra chatting with Jackie. Jackie hits on him and Ezra informs her he's seeing someone. Aria's phone vibrates so she walks away. She then sees that A sent her a picture of Dr. Sullivan holding up the newspaper, proving that she's still alive. A gives Aria proof that Jackie plagiarized her paper that is about to be published and orders her to "make Jackie go away".  She goes to Jackie and shows her the proof and orders her to leave town or else. Later her mother apologizes for making her lie and assures her that things went well with Mike's therapist. Jackie shows up at her house and turns the tables. Aria has to break up with Ezra, otherwise Jackie will spill about their relationship and ruin his career.

  
Toby later finds out his brake line was severed which could have caused him to crash, but he figures it was just an accident on his end. Spencer has not shared with Toby the reason why her father was at the DiLaurentis house. Toby pushes her not to go along with her father's wishes. Spencer later gets her doll from A that tells her to "keep Toby safe". She realizes A cut Toby's brake line. She later confesses to Toby that she lied about her father not saying anything. She tells him there are so many things she could never tell him. She ends things with Toby and runs off in tears where she is spotted by Wren. Wren consoles her and helps her get ready for the wedding and then kisses her.


Caleb returns to be Hanna's date for the wedding. Hanna is already stressing over the wedding and her new stepsister but Caleb wants to cheer her up. Later Hanna's doll from A tells her to "stop the wedding". Her father later apologizes for putting so much pressure. He assures Hanna that he loves Isabel and wants to be happy with her. As everything begins A pressures Hanna to stop the wedding. During the ceremony Hanna request Isabel to stop to talk to her outside. Hanna breaks Isabel's heart by telling her about her parents sleeping together which is seen by her upset father. A then text Hanna directions to go to.


Maya comes over to Hanna's house to see Emily. Maya tells Emily that she wants to start off as friends so she can get to know the new Emily. Emily is shocked to see that she is the only one who does not get a doll with a request from A. Emily later finds her doll in the back of the car and her GPS ready to lead her to Dr. Sullivan. The girls worry when Emily doesn't show up for the wedding. Emily arrives in a garage with a parked car that is running. She gets trapped inside and later passes out. Someone drags her out before she dies. She dreams of Alison comforting her and telling that she knows who A is and that Emily has to choose between life and death. She wakes up to see all of her friends circled around her.

After finding Emily the girls get directions on where to find Dr. Sullivan. They realized that A must have buried her alive the way Alison was and the girls quickly dig to save her. The girls are shocked to find a mannequin followed by the police surrounding them.

At the police station Ezra shows up. Ella informs him that she knows his secret and lets him know her disapproval and suggest he end things. Ezra tells her he's in love but soon realizes that Ella thinks he is involved with Spencer. Meanwhile the girls are upset to find out Wilden has been reinstated because of his evidence.  Jenna and Garret are thrilled that their plan to take down the girls is working and that Jason has no idea they were the ones who gave him that note the night Alison went missing. Wilden informs them that the shovel Alison was killed with was the one they were using tonight, and the girls realize A left them the shovel purposely to frame them. Garret then has Jenna burn the page 5 that proves how Alison died so there is no evidence against them. Jenna exclaims that Alison deserved to die.

At the end we see A eating with Dr. Sullivan. Dr. Sullivan assures that she did everything A asked. A hands her an envelope and an upset Dr. Sullivan walks away.

Pretty Little Liars does not disappoint in the finales! This episode hands down gets an A+! It answered so many questions yet it did not. Are we sure that Jenna and Garret killed Alison? It sounded like they were A but then they weren't! Looks like it'll be a long wait until 2012. But luckily ABC Family is airing a special Halloween prequel!
