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.

Looks like Spike is just cloaked in darkness this whole episode here in her dimly-lit house. First she’s wearing a white v-neck and a blue zip up hoodie. Then she’s watching the tube with snake in what looks like cropped jeans and a red vest over a blue tee. And after the formal event, she’s wearing what looks like the red dress from the class reunion, but it’s hard to tell because she’s basically covered her entire body with a shawl. I always hated when people do that – what’s the point of wearing a beautiful dress if you’re going to walk around basically wrapped in a blanket?

I’ve been so distracted by Spinner’s boner escapades this episode that I forgot that wasn’t even the main plotline. The main plotline, everyone, is Emma’s contempt for Snake. So that’s why we get so much Snake today. First he wears a black sweater thing. Then he chains up his bike, wearing his really cool helmet and an olive green shirt. Next he judges the science hair in a deep maroon button down. And finally, he comes home with Spike after some black tie event, so he’s actually wearing a tux.

I mean, you know the drill by now. Sheila wears an orange polo, a white apron, and a hair net. That’s all we’re ever gonna get. I can’t resist including her though. This episode is extra special because she gives Jimmy and Spinner boner advice.

I rounded up a good bit is miscellaneous shots this time! My god, this “kick me” sign is hilarious, that’s one gag I’ve just thought was funny my whole entire life. And I’m so glad they made the choice to add this little detail in here. Next, this kid is seriously wearing a KD shirt. I’ve learned so much about Canadian culture and their love for boxed mac n’ cheese, AKA Kraft Dinner. They love it so much, they hang it on their wall and wear it on their clothes. I thought we liked it here in the US but no, it’s an actual icon in Canada. Next is this open-back top. I remember when these came out. They were all the rage and you just had to have them. Plus, they didn’t break dress code because no bra would show. It’s so funny now; they were just super cheap tee shirt material with a cutout and tie. Next, is this sunshine girl in Spinner’s locker, wearing a red string bikini. She actually looks pretty 90s. Then we see the crowd at the science fair, getting many great examples of typical average 2000s middle school fashion. Then we have a girl in the caf wearing low rise pants and a pale top which is probably another one of those open-back shirts. It is just amazing how tight our clothes used to be. It’s almost hard to look at now. It’s like, our entire bodies were just on display. No shame of course, but like, that’s freakin tight and looks uncomf to boot. Next is someone wearing a long denim skirt with a frayed hem, and platform mules. Then we have a look at some gals and dudes laughing in the classroom, and finally we wrap up this post with a full shot of the class, right before Spinner’s boner strikes fear into the hearts of all.

Paige instigates a boner in Kwan’s class. She wears her hair clipped half back, a blue tee with a pattern on it and ruffled hems, belted cropped khakis, and black platform mules. This is a great look.

Is this really the first appearance of Nadia? Well, I guess it is. I’m also surprised that she comes with a last name. Unfortunately we can’t see much of her actual outfit, but it’s some kind of white blouse, and her hair is pulled half back. “Maybe one day, people will realize that the wolf is actually our friend.”
