Once again demonstrating that she is cool as shit, Ashley’s mom, my momcrush, approves Ashley’s piercing request, wearing a white tank under a tan cardi. Then she’s outside trimming the bushes, still looking fine as hell in this sleeveless blouse showing off her ripped arms.

First Joey is literally wearing an all tan outfit (shirt, pants, tie) at work. Then he wears a rusty red shirt before leaving off for his sex vacation. And finally, he has to make a quick trip back home to arrest his stepson in a … brown? shirt. Another addition to the chronicles of “Adults Wear No Color In The Early 2000s”.

Jimmy doesn’t really play a part in this episode, either. Because when Craig invites them to spend the night, Jimmy backs out as Sean had already RSVP’d. I always wonder what it would have been like if Jimmy did end up going. He wears a tee and sweats, and of course his signature sweatband on his wrist.

Emma is only in this episode because Sean is tricked into prank calling her. But like. What is she wearing. This is exactly something we would have seen baby Emma dressed in in Degrassi High. She’s wearing some kind of rolled-up baby hat and a matching tee in lavender horizontal stripes. Lots of NO to this hat.

First Ellie is sporting an elaborate purplish braided updo, with frosty eyeshadow, dark lips, a bellybutton ring, denim skirt, a black vest thing over a grey tee and mesh long sleeves, knee-high socks, and chunky shoes. Oh yeah and a close up of this triple-buckle grommeted belt accenting that low-rise skirt. People are so quick to call her “goth” but she’s so different than goth. Her style is really unique, I love it. She gets her cartilage pierced like it was nothing and goes along on her way. Next, is El in RED. I hate when people say redheads shouldn’t wear red or pink. Because I LIVE for it. This getup is bomb. A red flare-sleeve shirt under a black tank, plaid skirt, spiked necklace, and another braided updo. I adore this!

This episode stars Craig, who still wears a lot of black, brown, and navy. As you may recall, this is the episode where Joey entrusts his house to Craig for the weekend while he goes on a sex getaway. Craig ends up stealing one of Joey’s cars and going on a joy ride. Then Joey loses his shit as though he’s never heard of anyone doing such a thing. Well, Joey, maybe you need a reminder that not only did you do the exact same thing, but you actually got in a little accident. Ya jerk.
Anyway, first…. Craig wears brown. Then he wears some more brown. Oh this color scheme is terrible. The wardrobe department did this on purpose to demonstrate how lost and damaged Craig is. But it’s bad. Ope, and that’s the end of Craig’s fashion show. He also sports a shaggy bedhead ‘do as always.

Attila is Ellie’s cousin. I wish we got to see more of him but this is it. He wears a goatee, a long braided ponytail, a septum piercing, and has a biker look in a black tee, leather vest, and lots of tattoos. Surprisingly, though, he’s blaring opera music in the tattoo shop.

Dude, I love this episode. I love both the A plot and the B plot. AND I just realized that this is Ashley’s actual blossoming into a goth goddess. We’ve seen hints of it approaching, but since the last episode she has chopped her hair off and is now dressed as a full queen. It’s interesting because, you can tell that independently, Ashley was feeling dark. But then it’s like, when she met Ellie, Ashley really let her goth flag fly. And forgive me for rambling, as someone who feels Ashley is a kindred spirit. But I totally understand Ashley, not only in her real natural inclination to the dark side, but also her need to compensate where she feels insecure still, especially around seasoned alt-girl Ellie. Ellie on the other hand isn’t trying to impress Ashley or anyone. But anyway, this is our first Degrassi goth since Faith of DJH, and I welcome her with open arms.
Ashley wears a short do and long nails; black choker and hoop earrings; black netted top and black skirt; chunky black shoes. The situation here is that Ashley wants to get a piercing for street cred to be a comparable friend to Ellie. The next day, she wears a dark cardi over yet another black ensemble. This pencil skirt has lacing down the front which I love. I had one just like it. She’s got another majestic choker on today, along with frosty blue eyeshadow and some dark lip gloss. And then of course she has an embarrassing bailout on the piercing table. Her fear of needles was stronger than her desire for clout.
And welcome to Ashley’s official goth stage. I hate to call it a phase. Even though eventually she evolves into more of a rocker type, I don’t think that is a betrayal of her goth/alt roots. They’re still there, but sometimes it’s just more practical to tone it down a bit. I don’t doubt her sincerity as a goth, even though it doesn’t last forever. And I really really enjoy it. It’s rather jarring, especially toward the end of season 2. Jarringly majestic. (Majestic being the word that I will overuse to describe her elegance.)

Toby’s science fair subject is “Surveillance: Friend or Foe?” so for some reason he dresses like a robot. Other than that he wears a maroon polo, and then a button down with a tie.

Terri looks beautiful in blue! She’s wearing her hair half up in an unfinished ponytail, hoop earrings, and blue button down open over a tee.
