In the first part of the Season 9 Premiere of Degrassi, things are going great for most of the Degrassi students. Back from Winter Break, Mia's modeling life is doing well, and turns better than well as she receives and shares to Peter some news: She's been offered a 250K contract for modeling in Paris. At first, Peter is upset and nearly breaks up with Mia, but then, he decides he'll move to Paris with her.
Well they both attend a party at new kids-Declan and Fiona's-mansion. Declan had invited them because his mom also worked for a modeling agency, and said Mia'd love to meet her. They go to the party, and Declan convinces Peter to play a song on the guitar by his band, The Studz. Of course, a group of mature, sophisticated, rich grownups don't want to hear ROCK music. What is he thinking? He blows it, embarasses himself, and gets stressed out even more. So a girl named Victoria, a friend of Fiona's, offers Peter some meth. Peter goes crazy, but promises Mia that it was a one-time thing when the next day he's drowsy and in the dumps.
But then, Peter finds himself addicted to the substance. He then has to learn even worse news when Mia breaks up with him and says he can't go to Paris with her. He continues to abuse the meth.
To me, Peter was just stupid in the first place when he listened to Victoria, and smoked the meth, which he originally thought was just cocaine. But that's still pretty idiotic. Peter should be smart enough, (his mom, former principal of Degrassi, should have taught him better than that) to make the wiser decision of not smoking the drug.
Meanwhile, the other new girl, decently-pretty and blonde, Jenna, tries to befriend Clare, and successfully does, but not without the disapproval of Alli, who suspects something from Jenna. She becomes jealous when Jenna starts spending a lot of time with Clare, and Clare doesn't do anything about it.
Oh well. I have no interest in Clare and Alli's a bit annoying, but Jenna. Maybe I can have her? But seriously now, maybe the new kids should unite, and she can match up with Declan, so Declan doesn't do anything between Sav/Anya and or Peter/Mia and or Spinner/Jane.
And Holly J, or just plain Holly according to Blu, arranges the Winter Beach Bash event at Degrassi High School.
Well, beaches mean swimsuits. Swimsuits mean bikinis; hot girls in bikinis. Me...flooding myself in drool. Just kidding, but seriously now - this was a decent opener to the ninth season, in my opinion.
