  • Fiona drinks to solve her problems

    This episode definitely went there as it comes to a full circle from the beginning of the season. When Bobby hit Fiona, and now Fiona is going to testify against him. She feels stressed as she has exams and she has a school dance to organize. She gets passed off as crazy by Bobby's lawyer, and she gets prescribed pills but she never fills the prescription. Then she starts drinking champagne. Drunk Fiona is hilarious! Anyway that's left up in the air, as she also makes a fool of herself in front of Mr. Simpson by dressing inappropriately for a presentation. Meanwhile: Probably my favorite plot is when Riley finally comes out! Well he accidentally comes out, but it's something! Zane & Riley's relationship progresses. Then Riley gets scouted, but then Riley gets scared because of possible death. Adam feels like a third wheel so he gets involved with Fitz which was good buildup for the next episode and the finale. Great episode.moreless

    Fiona (A Plot)- Magnificent acting portrayed by Annie. She has really grown as an actress compared to Degrassi season 9. When Fiona was watching Bobby's testimony...I really felt that she was hurting inside. I was about to cry. Sav's appearence was great,he's been really shining all season. HollyJ was...HollyJ. I'm really surprised Mr.Simpson wasn't suspiciouse that Fiona was out of it..after all...he knows these Degrassi kids better than anyone. Fiona is always drowning herself in achochl when things go bad for her.

    Riley (B-Plot)- Didnt expect Riley to come out like that. Zane was mad happy.

    Adam (C-Plot)- Eli changed sine dating Clare. I feel bad Adam's always alone now. It seems the writers forgot he's friends with Sav.

    Overall...Great Episode.moreless

    fiona starts drinking champagne and nearly messes up her suit against bobby, as well as the planning of the school dance. adam starts hanging out with fitz. riley nominates him and zane as prom king and king, and so word finally comes out around the school that Riley is gay.

    good episode, they handled it better than I thought. I liked Adam's plot the most and whilst I didn't like Fiona's a lot they certainly did a better job than what I was expecting. A great start to the final week of the boiling point. The episode gets an A+moreless

  • Fiona's trial against Bobby is coming up and it's stressing her out. Adam feels like a third wheel to Eli and Clare. Riley comes out to the football team.

    Awesome episode! Fiona's storyline is very interesting. I like how there is continuation with the court trial coming up. I can't believe Bobby is trying to make Fiona look crazy. Though it does seem that Fiona is beginning to think she's crazy because she has to see a therapist who wants her to take medication for her anxiety. Fiona has a real problem with alcohol, and I think it would be really interesting if her character became an alcoholic. It seems as if Adam has a lonley storyline. Eli and Clare are his only friends and they are off being a couple. I think Adam becoming friends with Fitz is very interesting because Fitz will have bad influence on Adam. I am so glad that Riley is officially out in this episode. I love how he just admitted to the team that he's gay and the team didn't make too much of big deal, and they won that football game.moreless
