    By futuramarama, May 30, 2010
    It's Prom at Degrassi and Sav plans on going with Anya. But hwen he doesn't tell his parents they are dating, he is met with his future bride. Will this hurt his relationship with Anya? Will they breakup? Johnny and Bruce get in a fight which could ultimately cost them their friendship.

    A good episode, it's sad at the end when Anya and Sav breakup, and I hope that sometime in the next season or so they get back together. I liked Johnny and Bruce becoming friends again. I liked the episode as a whole, so my grade's an A+moreless

  • Sav doesn't tell his parents that he's back together with Anya, and his future wife comes to visit. Johnny and Bruce get into a fight.

    Good episode! This episode isn't as dramatic as "Why Can't This Be Love?" Part 2. Sav's character just becomes so unlikable in this episode because he can't stand up for himself. He doesn't have the courage to tell his parents about Anya. It should be his decision who he should marry. I don't like his future wife. I love all the scenes with Anya which is why this episode is getting a 7.5/10. I enjoyed the Johnny/Bruce plot. It's great for the development of those characters. Bruce isn't as big a jerk as I thought he was. He's misunderstood. Anyways, I give this episode a 7.5/10.moreless
