YAY for the Class of 2006! Wow, great episode. Ashley's back! Jimmy is getting left back! Ellie likes somebody! Jimmy likes Ellie! Darcy and Spinner are back together! Spinner and Paige kiss! And this is all only in the first 10 minutes! Wow, it seems like so much is going on when you really think about it. This is definitely a series classic. Paige is graduating! So are Ellie, Hazel, Alex, etc. I loved that moment at the end when Spinner wanted Darcy's forgiveness, and she looks back before getting on the school bus. I also loved the song at the end. 10/10.
The season finale, and graduation of some students of Degrassi. And special guest stars form the past return, Craig returns at the very end & that glare with Ashley & Ellie was priceless. Ashley returns, she kisses Jimmy which starts up a new relationship. Paige & Alex stay friends, the big dance as Jimmy forgives Spinner and Manny forgives Peter. The main plot, Spinner lies again as he sleeps with Paige as a goodbye & when Darcy finds out, it's over for good or so Spinner thought. The subplot was pretty much graduation, that song t the end when it's showing everyone graduate, that's what made the episode special. A perfect episode, flawless!
This put closure to so many things in part one and was a good bye to some character we knew and loved. Spinner and Paige both reminice a little on what they had back they but of course come to the conclusion despite what they've done they don't love each other. What they had back then is gone, it just wasn't in the cards for them. Their hearts lie elsewhere or with someone else, Spinner's lies with Darcy.
So, Spinner of course in his road to redemption thoughout the season takes the final step to complete his journey which is asking for forgiveness.
It was heartwarming just seeing Jimmy and Spinner being friends again, when we saw then hug each other. Both of them had a great friendship that should never die. Jimmy stopped blaming and is able to accept who he is now and leave the past behind to move foward.
And the sub plot with Jimmy was great because it put closure to the Ellie and Jimmy dynamic. Jimmy admits his feelings to Ellie but unfortuantely Ellie just doesn't feel that way about Jimmy because her feelings are toward Craig (which will hopefully be explored and resolved next season) I'll be honest I actually felt for Jimmy when Elle refused him (no one likes rejection after all) I actually wanted those two to be a couple but I guess like in life it just was not to be. But relived that Ashley came back and had feeling for Jimmy again making her give Jimmy make out.
And then there is Craig coming back and having Manny in his arms again. I just hope their relationship becomes essential next season, I'd love to know what happens.
And we see the tearful good bye to the characters Paige, Elle, and Marco. I really am going to miss these guys they really helped make the show possible, it won't be the same with out them.
But though the sadness there is also a sense of happyness when Spinner asks Darcy to forgive him. From the look on her face in the end and Spiners reaction it reasures us she has.
It's graduation day and special guests reappear in the end. Jimmy and Spinner finally work out their conflict that has been going on since the shooting. Spinner has a hard time getting Darcy to forgive him. hide show
Awww to the graduation scene made me think of my own graduation. I also thought it was cute how Craig appeared in the end and surprised Manny. It was also a shocker to see Ashley appear in this episode. I found it cute how she was there for Jimmy though after Ellie turned him down. Ew to the fact that the guy she claimed she had a crush on was Craig. Thank goodness they weren't matched together. I felt bad for Spinner when he realizes Paige just used him although it would have been cute if they got back together. I was also pleased that Jimmy and Spinner finally worked out their conflict. It's about time they be friends again.
Most of the seniors graduate and Spinner must start to figure out the repurcussions of what he has done... hide show
This episode kind of made me really hate Paige, Spinner, Darcy, and Marco. Paige was really annoying and kept on saying "merci", and Spinner looks like a total hypocrite if you had just previously watched the end of the third season. Darcy and Marco were annoying as well.I thought what Paige and Spinner did was just a tad out of character because in my opinion, Paige would still be getting over her breakup with Alex AND it was never like her to go and sleep with Spinner! Especially when he was still dating Darcy! That whole thing just made me really annoyed.By the end of the episode though, you're ready to cry because everyone is graduating and a sad song is playing. I don't think that Degrassi's 100th Episode matches up to the other 99....
