Emma finds out the truth about what Peter did.

8.0

By Jon_MW_14, Jul 25, 2011

"True Colors" is a great Degrassi episode. In this episode Emma finds out that Peter was the one who planted weed in Sean's locker and got him suspended. I actually love how she pieces it all together. If I remember this correctly my favourite scene is Emma visiting Sean in jail. It's so sweet how they interact with each other. The subplot isn't anything special. Ellie writes an article and it gets rejected. I wish they gave her a better subplot. I also don't like the character Jessie. He's a jerk. I give this episode a 8/10.moreless

eh not so good

6.5

Degrassi the Next Generation was a great show to watch from seasons 1 to season 5. The quality of the show to many people's opinion decreased around the time that seasons 6 and 7 were viewed by fans. Season 6 to me had its great moments like "Rock this Town", but it also had its bad moments. I did not like this episode as much as others. Jessie is a very unlikable character and perhaps my least favorite of the entire show. Ellie just does not deserve someone like Jessie. She deserves better. It was just not a good episode.moreless

Emma is having a hard time letting go...

6.0

By Canogaparkcindy, Jan 07, 2010

This episode was difficult to watch, since it's episode three, and they're continuing with the same arcs. The Peter/Emma/Sean plot, and the Ellie/Jessie plot. That's probably the only thing that bothered me. Plot-wise, it was way out of character on Peter's part. They only made Peter a jerk after helping Emma through everything last year, just so Emma can hook up with Sean, and not make Emmma look bad. I like the Jay/Emma confrontation. Then Emma waits idly by for Sean to get out of jail, after Emma & Peter break up. Manny is always in Emma's business. But out! Ellie's plot was ugh, I don't like the Ellie/Jesse relationship, so I could only say bad things about this plot. Average episode, way out of character.moreless

and the Emma/Sean/Peter saga continues....

1.0

By JannyNJiberty, Dec 28, 2007

Jay goes to EMMA for help to get Sean out of jail. I thought Jay and Emma hated each other. Why would Jay go to Emma for help? Emma talks to snake about getting sean out and decides to throw a dance at school to raise money to get him out. How stupid! Why would miss H allow that? Peter frames Sean getting him expelled which pisses Emma off. Boring, lame, and stupid. Ellie is still in love with the guy at the college. Pathetic. this was one of the worse episodes of the whole series next to Here comes your man 1 and 2.moreless

I couldn't even watch this episode the first time around and haven't watched it since--that has never happened before but TC is a disgrace.

7.7

Jay goes to Emma fater he sees Sean needs help in jail but Emma is too busy with Peter and doesn't know if she should go. First of all I CANNOT belive that they would conintue the same storyline as HCYM both A and B plots right after it. This episode is actually 603 and CHW was changed to 604. The biggest mistake ever!!! Of course once again Emma is the center of attention and it seems that Emma is the only one that can help Sean. Yea right there are prolly about a dozen other people who could do it, the writers just love Emma. The whole Peter being evil again was only done to have Semma look good which I was disappointed the writers would do that. Miriam's acting was awful and Sean was written completely out of character. I don't know if I'll ever get over him saying "Hmmm vanilla, my favorite", Sean would never say that!

The sub-plot was the worst one of the whole season. Not only is it continuing the season premiers subplot but it is about Ellie and an older guy Jesse. I have one word for them BORING!!!! No one cares about Ellie and her love life, it was established in Season 5 that everyone hated her love life storylines. Not to mention she became the show's biggest b*tch in that season but at least she's somewhat redeemed herself (but it won't really happen until RTT). Ultimately,if the wirters made a mistake this season, it was writing this episode.moreless
