  • Rick returns to Degrassi.

    "Superb"

    "Mercy Street" is great Degrassi episode! Rick returns in this episode. And I hate Rick so very much. Terri was my favourite character and he put her in a coma. Even though it's not right, I did enjoy Emma, Paige, Hazel, Spinner, and Jimmy, trying to get rid of him. But all they did was bully him and I'm against bullying him. But Rick should not be returning to school. He should have been charged with something and be placed in juvie. I do enjoy Emma's character development in wanting to gain popularity. I love the subplot in this episode. I love how JT sees Craig's penis in the locker room and then JT feels embarrassed about his size, and so he uses a penis pump. Anyways, I give this episode a 9/10.moreless

    Nobody is happy when Rick returns to Degrassi because all are mad at him for what he has done to Terri last year. So everyone treats him like crap and try t oget him to leave for good.

    A great episode, I really felt for Rick, I mean... he is tripped by Emma and then Jay Hogart gets in a fight with him, and all Rick wants is for people to try to forgive them... it was a very great episode and it is probably one of my new favorites, overall my grade is an A+, a perfect episode methinksmoreless

  • Great Episode About Forgiveness

    I thought this episode of "Degrassi" was great, but hard to watch at times. I felt so awful for Rick. I know that he hurt Terri, but people obviously didn't see that he was trying to apologize. Most of the time I like Spinner, but now I'm starting to hate him. I also hate Jay and Alex. I know what Alex's situation is, but why would Jay care about Terri? I don't think they were friends. It's probably because Jay is just an idiot. Paige and Terri weren't really friends either, except for the episode when they started a band with Ashley. I thought the subplot with Liberty, Manny, and J.T. was great for comedic relief. Overall, this was a great episode about trying to forgive and forget and about bullying.moreless

  • Mercy Street is a great episode that I found was a great episode compared to the others.

    J.T.,Danny,Liberty,and Manny have a hot tub party and when J.T. tries to show off Danny pulls down J.T.'s trunks.Manny is now relectunt to go over to J.T.'s house and J.T. feels that Manny prefers Craig over him when he see's Craig in the locker room.So J.T. tries a new gadget to try and match up to him that I won't spoil here for you.Also Rick returns to Degrassi and Emma becomes cool when she treats Rick mean and form a mutual friendship with Rick when she stops a bunch of her friends from beating him up.

    Mercy Street is a great episode and is why I watch Degrassi and I wish they would make more like it.All in all it's a great episode and is like a prequel to the dramatic episodes to come.I give it a 7.8/10.moreless

  • Rick returns to Degrassi, but the "welcoming committee" isn't so welcoming. J.T. tries to "measure up" to Craig after seeing him naked in the locker room.

    9.0
    "Superb"
    By ArrowLegend, Jun 26, 2005
    In a very bold move, Rick makes his return to Degrassi after putting Terri in a coma last season. My first question is "What were you thinking Rick?!?!" Did he think that people would all of a sudden forget about what he did?

    Ephraim Ellis did an excellent job of playing a tormented soul, searching for forgiveness. I know for a fact that Emma's involvement in the situation made it ten times worse for Rick. The situation definitely went too far when Jay punched Rick, and I respect Emma greatly for stepping in to end it.

    The subplot was funny. Of course any plot involving a penis pump HAS to be funny. It was also saddening because this episode marked the end of J.T. and Manny as a couple. I completely understood why Manny broke up with J.T.: he didn't show any maturity in the episode until it was too late to salvage things with Manny. I think he should have used the pump before Manny came over; I don't think I could ever look her in the face again had she caught me using a penis pump. The scene where J.T. saw Craig naked was unforgettable. I love how they timed Craig dropping his towel right as J.T. was saying "hang down".

    I really liked this episode as it's one of a handful that I watched and felt sorry for Rick. However, I'll end this review with some questions to think about: Why did Rick feel as if he needed to come back to get the approval/forgiveness of his peers? When Rick tried to give Emma money for the ribbon campaign, she would've taken it had Alex not walked by. Did Emma care more about actually raising the money or sticking it to Rick? Why is this the first and last episode we see Emma hanging out with Paige and company outside of school?moreless

    • When Emma walks over to ther door in the Dot to kick out Rick you see a sign saying Closed. Since they're inside though it means open from outside. When she slams the door the sign flips so to someone walking by, it would say 'closed'. In the Dot everyone's reactions to what Emma just did, are shown and when the cameras cuts back to her, the sign is moving back and forth from the door being slammed. However it now says 'closed' even though she couldn't have flipped the sign that quickly.

    • When Paige first goes into the bathroom after Rick talked to her, there's no one in there. When Emma goes in there afterwards there's still no one in there yet when Paige and Emma leave together Manny and Liberty are in there talking. How'd they get in there when we never heard them come in?
