"Perfect"

By futuramarama, Jul 09, 2010

liberty and jt are having issues, and things only get worse when jt finds out liberty is pregnant. is this a big enough issue for them to work out, or are they gonna break up? spinner starts to like darcy after he hangs out with her. are they going to become a couple?

great episode, JT is my favortie character and so episodes around him are basically instantly good in my books, and this was certainly no exception. The sub plot was a little weak, but not too much to lower my grade, which is a well deserved A+. Perfectmoreless

This is such a great episode of Degrassi. Something that's really unexpected happens to Liberty in this episode. She's Pregnant!! It's cool that she and JT will have more storylines and adds more drama to the show. I can't beleive how controlling Liberty can be. At least JT wants to help out when the baby arrives. He does get a job at the drug store. It was a little freaky when she told them and they crashed the car. The car looked pretty beaten up. Darcy invited Spinner to a friendship club. I'm glad that he's going to the friendship club because he seriously needs friends. Spinner's old friends keep a grudge for the longest times so it's good that he starts dating Darcy. she can be very good for him.moreless

"Superb"

A serious episode I would say, this marks the second pregnancy on Degrassi, second of many. Liberty gets pregnant, it's JT's child, now they have to suffer being pregnant in high school, there are some light moments in this episode though like JT freaking out, that's always fun, I also like how Top crashed his remote control car when JT revealed the news, Just like JT! But with a real car, that got out a few chuckles. The subplot with Spinner was light, introducing Darcy! As a character that finally has a plot of her own likes Spinner & wants the truth about the shooting, after Spinner joins friendship club AKA Christian club. I like how Spinner is now dedicated to the club & Darcy, and he's telling the truth, finally he's not the most hated person in Degrassi. That was so last year. Plus JT had every right to break up with Liberty but he gladly isn't going to abandon the baby which is amazing of him. A powerful episode!moreless

"Perfect"

By JannyNJiberty, Feb 06, 2008

This epsiode comes as a huge shock! Liberty tells JT she's pregnant and she's known for 3 months. JT can't believe his ears. I couldn't believe mine either. Haha. Anyway, JT and Liberty must deal with this life changing decision. I really loved this plot because i love the Jt/Liberty relationship and I love how this epsiode was written. I don't understand why she kept it hidden for 3 months.
JT tells his grandma, who takes the news badly. The sub plot was ok, but not as great as the Main plot. I think the Spinner/Darcy relationship is kind of cute and I was happy that Spinner wanted to do what Darcy does with her church.moreless

It is nice to see that they have finally given J.T. and Liberty a main storyline in this season and not just a sub-plot. I like how J.T. crashes the car when Liberty tells him that she is pregnant and later Toby crashes the canyon hopper.

I love the way they carried out this storyline. Sometimes I find that the subplots interfere with the telling of the main story, but in this episode the writers do a very good job in pairing plots. The sub-plot is light enough, but not so light or boring that it keeps you interested.

Although I loved this episode, I do wish there had been more of a build up to Liberty getting pregnant. I mean, the last time you see Liberty and J.T. in season four they are sharing awkward, innocent looking kisses. It just seems like a bit of a jump that suddenly over the summer they have had sex and get pregnant. It just seems out of character for Liberty, but then again I guess people do crazy things when they are in love.moreless

- Liberty claims at the end of the episode that she's never needed help with anything. While she isn't being 100% literal, she has obviously forgotten her tutoring from Mr. Armstrong in season 1's Rumours and Reputations for her dyscalculia.

ALLUSIONS (3)
ADD ALLUSIONS
- Darcy: What is the first rule of Friendship Club? Girl: Tell everyone about Friendship Club This could be an allusion to the 1999 movie Fight Club which has the famous line "The first rule of fight club is you do not talk about fight club".
  EDIT SHARE
- Ms. Hatzilakos: Well ... accidents will happen. Sounds like a reference to the Season 3 episodes "Accidents Will Happen" (Pts. 1 and 2), where it's found out that Craig had impregnated Manny, just as we find out that JT had impregnated Liberty.
