"It's just guy stuff"
Tonight Degrassi kicked off it's fourth week of Now or Never with an episode titled after a song by The Killers. They keep things fresh with a UFC inspired storyline and couple of strong subplots.

They boys are surprised to see Mr. Simpson having a lock installed and requiring supervision in the weight room, after reading Katie's article. The guys blame Drew for telling Katie. Drew confronts Katie, who reminds him that she only promised to keep names out and shows no remorse for what she did. Katie has heard about Drew's past and offers to help him. Drew is offended and berates Katie for all she has done.

Holly J is picking out dresses for prom with Fiona. She is still troubled over her biological mother Dawn requesting $20,000 to give her a kidney. Fiona informs her that she already has a check getting written up to pay for it, and won't take no for an answer. Holly J eventually accepts Fiona's offer. Shortly after Fiona gets a call from her lawyer saying that it's not going to happen, as it is illegal to buy a kidney. Holly J confronts Dawn and begs her to give her the kidney. Dawn says she can't afford to take 3 months off of work to recover. Holly J angrily berates Dawn for this and calls her selfish as she storms out.
