Grown-ish

After months of flirting via e-mail, thirteen year-old Emma's new love interest, Jordan, is going to be in town. Coincidentally (fatefully?), it's the same night as her mother's high school reunion.

The Degrassi alumni are gearing up to get together again and reminiscing about old times. Caitlin has brought her fiance, Keith, but Joey's not sure he'll go to the reunion at all - he's still recovering from his wife's sudden death.

Ashley has set her sights on becoming Degrassi's School President. Toby, spurred on by their awkward new situation as step-siblings, is frustrated by her unchallenged status and convinces JT to run against her.

Terri's sure that no guy will ever want her and she wants to skip the school dance. Spinner seems interested in her though, and Ashley and Paige convince her to let them make her over.

Toby can't stand the idea of Parents Night - the last time his divorced parents were in the same room they had a huge, embarrassing fight.

Ashley and Jimmy's eight-month anniversary is coming up -- and so is the question of whether or not to have sex. Paige is playing Juliet opposite Jimmy's English-class Romeo and she's planting doubts in Ashley's mind.

Jimmy desperately wants to make the basketball team. But, surprisingly, it looks like Sean is surpassing him as a possible star player.

After a long absence overseas, Ashley's dad is back in town. She's enjoying his company and attention, but something tells her there's a piece of his life that's being kept from her.

Lacking real family time at home, Jimmy has been spending more and more time at Ashley's house. He and Toby are like brothers and Kate's begun referring to him as her "third kid".

Recently diagnosed with a learning disorder, an embarrassed Liberty is ashamed to tell her friends about her tutoring sessions.

When Sean asks Emma what she's doing tonight, Emma's thrilled -- that's a date, right? But, nervous, Sean is unable to muster the courage to arrange the details and Emma misunderstands his hesitancy as rejection.

When Paige decides to start a Spirit Squad at Degrassi, Emma can't believe that the "sexist" sport of cheerleading is being revived. But Manny, who's had years of gymnastics training wants to try out.

Ashley's convinced that she and Terri are going to be the stars of the school talent show, singing her new ballad. Terri would rather add Paige to the act, but she's not sure how to tell Ashley that.

Faced with the pressure of passing Grade 7 on his second time around and his mother's latest threat to take him back to his unhappy life up north, Sean is beginning to slip into old, angry patterns.

Perfect Ashley is beginning to bore even herself. With their parents away for the weekend, Ashley decides to join Toby in breaking the "one-guest-each" rule and invites Paige and Hazel to join her and Terri.
