    A storyline that hasn't been recycled from the past seasons, which means this plot was very fresh, which made the whole episode better since it as something that we haven't seen before. Adam's storyline is finally dealt with in this episode, I was waiting for this episode all season. People start finding out that Adam is a girl physically. Once Adam hits on Bianca, she finds out. And Clare finds Adam's tampons and she tells Eli. Everyone starts finding out rapidly leading Adam to get bullied. I was so annoyed at Fitz, Bianca and even Clare that they would tell people and the way that Fitz and Owen bullied Adam, it was so sad to see. They threw him in to a door, and the glass broke! Where are the teachers in all of this. I didn't like how Clare immediately told Eli either, but Adam eventually told them the truth anyway so I guess that was okay. I love how defensive Drew got of his brother, I love and hate Drew's character. Sometimes he can be very caring, but other times, he's just a total jerk. There is TOO MUCH Dave story lines this season! I wasn't a huge fan of his plot in any way. Yay, were back to Anya. Anya suspects her mom is cheating because of what Leia told her about what she read on Sizzle Teen Magazine. Leia has got to stop reading that magazine, it got her in to trouble last season with Danny and she recommends it to Anya? Anya turns out to be wrong about the cheating, but it turns out her mom is sick so that's left up in the air. 2 really good plots, one not so good.moreless

    adam wants to be one of the guys. but a secret will ruin it all when it is revealed adam was born a girl, but is transgendered. fitz and owen team up and bully Adam. Drew tries to interfere. Anya thinks her mom is having an affair, but learns a shocking and upsetting secret.

    great episode, I think a lot of people have been waiting for Adam's storyline since the season started and for me it paid off. Anya's mother story was weird; she is not that big of a character. Hopefully they make it work. Grade for this- A+moreless

    This episode,My Body is A Cage pt.2,and What A Girl Wants (pt.1&2) are the best episodes of the Boiling point. I really like Adam. I do think he was being too risky though. Adam and Bianca are actually kinda cute,but Bianca's a @@@@@,word as born. She's kinda funny though. Some of her best lines in this episode are: " Your too skinny to have man boobs",and "What the hell,are you a girl?"!
    I felt bad when Fitz and Owen through Adam through the door,that was really cruel,expecially when they knew he was a she,lol. Seriously though,I was actually about to cry (I started teearing for a minute or two).

    Leia as usual was very dull and gave off a wooden performance. Anya's mother battleing cancer will be an emotional plot. It will be intresting to see the outcome of this storyline.

    Dave/Ms.Oh was an obviouse sort of filler plot to match the seasons theme of C-plots. It was entertaining. I bet Ms.Oh's a@@ was embbrassed,I know I would of been if my class saw pictures of me with my girlfriend on a Motocycle.

    Overall,a great part.1 in Adams My Body Is A Cage Storyline.moreless

  • People start suspecting that Adam may not be a boy. Anya thinks her mother might be having an affair. Dave tries to get Miss Oh to like him.

    This episode was sort of intense! It was awesome! It's really great that Jordan Todosey gets to play such an important character on the show. I'm glad Degrassi has a transgendered character. It was interesting to see that Adam's birth name was Gracie. I liked how Adam came out to Eli and Clare as transgender and they accpected him. There were some very intense scenes with Adam in this episode. When Bianca opened up Adam's shirt and it revealed that Adam had breasts, the look on Adam's face was so intense as he ran away. The next very intense scene and probably my favourite is Fitz picking up Adam in the washroom and throwing him onto the ground. That made me feel so sad. I love how Drew wants to stand up for Adam. The Drew/Fitz fight scene was very intense and it was sad that Drew lost. Anya's plot was also intense. I mean Anya's mother might be sick, and SPOILERS, I heard rumours her mother might have cancer. It was entertaining for Anya to think her mother was having an affair. I love Leia showing up in this episode, even though it's her last, and she didn't get a proper send off, or any huge storylines on Degrassi. Dave plot was kind of interesting. I don't know if Degrassi is going for a student crush, or a teacher/student relationship. It was fun to see that Miss Oh has a wild side with those pictures of her and motorcycles. I loved the emotions she portrayed as Dave showed those pictures to the whole class. Anyways, I give this episode a 10/10.moreless
