"Things can't possibly get any worse"

The third week of Degrassi: Now or Never began tonight! The week kicked off with the episode named after an M.I.A song. These episodes are continuing to flow quite well together.

Owen and Anya are out at a club on their first real date where they hang out with his friends. Anya is trying to take her mind off of telling her parents that she didn't get into TU. While at the club Anya decides to try cocaine, which immediately lifts her spirits and leads her to the dance floor. The next morning Anya is already regretting it as she feels the come down from it. She joins her disappointed Mom in a mandatory meeting that all the seniors planning to graduate have. Anya confesses that she only applied to TU because she wanted to stay close to Dr. Chris. Mr. Simpson is helping Anya in her attempts to try and get into a school for the fall, which is difficult at this point. Later Anya confides in Holly J who disapproves of her experimenting with cocaine and her relationship with Owen. Owen gives the Anya the advice to take what she wants, which leads to Anya getting a face to face meeting about getting into school. Anya is excited and brings Owen to the volleyball fundraiser, during which Owen overhears Holly J telling Anya that she needs to dump Owen before college because she is too good for him. Owen responds by squirting water at Holly J. That night Anya wants to celebrate at the club with Owen, but he is angry and demands she quit being Holly J's "lapdog". Anya is upset that she is being torn between Owen and Holly J on top of everything else she is dealing with. She runs into Bianca and her friend who gives Anya more coke. Owen goes to apologize but is angry when he sees she is high so the two argue and Owen leaves. As he walks out he sees Anya grinding with another guy on the dance floor.

Charlie is now staying with Fiona at her place, but Fiona has yet to inform her mother who is back in New York with their family. Charlie surprises Fiona with a cat that she brought with her. Fiona tells Holly J that everything is going wonderful and she is ready to fall in love with Charlie, even if she may be allergic to the cat. Eli comes to chat with Fiona about the play and notices what she thinks is an allergic reaction. But Eli sees them as bites and looks it up online. Fiona is shocked when he pulls up a picture of bed bugs. Fiona has her place inspected and confirms her bed bugs. Charlie comes home to Fiona cleaning and holding her responsible for the bed bugs. Charlie is offend by Fiona assuming that her being poor means she brought the bed bugs. Fiona later tries to make it up to her by getting to know each other better and sharing their life stories. Fiona is embarrassed and apologizes when her Mom calls and informs her that the penthouse back home has bed bugs and she is to blame for the infestation. The girls laugh over it in the end.

 

Connor swears to Wesley that he is done stealing panties. We later see him discussing an app idea with Mr. Simpson that would help girls select clothing based on their moods. Mr. Simpson is proud of him but does not know what inspired Connor. During the volleyball fundraiser, Connor sneaks into the locker room again and takes some photographs of he girls stuff. He also snatches a pink bra. He quickly puts his hood up when he hears Alli walk in. Connor rushes out and knocks Alli down before she can notice who it is.

Everything is flowing quite well so far and we hope part 2 can pick up and give us another A episode for Degrassi season 11. We will post the grade for the full episode tomorrow.
