With the lights out, it's less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us

As the last term of the year (started back in season 13) winds down, the Degrassi students are still dealing with new revelations and past traumas all while trying to re-invent themselves. Clare is still reeling from her unexpected pregnancy news and figuring out her next move. Miles has found solace with his new boyfriend Tristan, but is he using Tristan in order to further upset his father? And after being victorious in her assault trial, Zoe is looking to put the past behind her and start anew as part of the cheerleading squad, but it's up to Becky to accept her on team. And Becky is also trying to put her past behind her — even if it means sidelining Zoe.
