Emma Nelson is a mad scientist in this episode. Mad as in pissed. First she’s just glaring at Snake during family dinner, in a red v-neck tee. Is this perhaps the only time we ever see Emma in red? The next day, she’s actually wearing a labcoat over her heart-on shirt while she conducts experiments and gripes about Snake. As a long-time Archie Comics fan, though, I do love the reference to Betty and Veronica here in the dialogue. (No I have not seen Riverdale, leave me alone.) Fortunately she’s not wearing the labcoat ALL day, and she’s shown frowning in the halls wearing her cross-body bag. And for the big day, the science fair, Emma wears a horizontal-striped tank with some high-waisted, belted pants which I know for sure would not have been considered cool. An environmental/summer camp look maybe, but definitely not cool. And we conclude with Emma at home in her lime green floral pajamas.

I swear, JT is the new Melanie sometimes with all these bold and or primary colors. I love him, he reminds me of Bart Simpson or something. So first we get him in a red cap, yellow long sleeve under a blue short sleeve, and of course a necklace. I’m getting an inkling that JT dressed much cooler than Ryan did. No offense Ryan, love ya! And then he appropriately wears tie-dye to compliment the lava lamp on the night he does ecstasy – I mean, aspirin.

Sweet little baby Manny is just perfectly encompassing that childlike grade seven mood. Once again a beautiful contrast against Paige (who “HAS” done it) and Ash (who’s “TOTALLY about to do it”).  First Manny wears a ponytail, a chunky pink watch, and a tye-dye shirt with sequins all along the collar. Ah, don’t you love it? A tee shirt with sequins on it. The 2000s really knew how to dress things up. Then we have more tie-dye, of a reddish hue, with light wash, loose-fitting jeans, and chunky shoes. And finally, a blue long sleeve tee with a sort of dip-dye effect, random graphics on it, (keep in mind it’s that nice 2000s shirt length where it’s not quite cropped but not quite normal) and more light wash jeans. Let’s continue to sit back and wait for the moment Manny gets her own storyline.

The contrast between grade 7 and grade 8 is amazing. While Ashley is ready to go to pound town with Jimmy, Emma is still sporting pigtails and dolphin pants. THREE pigtails to be exact. Anyway, let’s start from the beginning here. First, Emma in a yellow and orange tie-dye tee. THEN is the three pigtails, the best thing ever, and her famous famous dolphin pants. In case you didn’t know already, these dolphin pants are legendary, iconic, one of Degrassi’s most famous garments. She wears a plain blue shirt so as not to distract from the pants themselves. Then, she wears three pigtails AGAIN, with jeans, a jean jacket, and a peachy tee. One time, I wore three pigtails. I think I was in kindergarten. My mom recalls the story. She said one day I woke up for school and insisted on three pigtails; nothing else would do. So, I feel ya, Emma. It’s a look.

Although I thought screencapping DTNG would be easier, it’s really not. My challenges now are the shaky-handheld-camera style, and a whole lot of closeups which make it hard to capture the outfit. But anyway, ENTER JT! He’s got on a giant tie-dye shirt, a nice 2000s-y necklace, and dons Joey’s old fedora for humor.

So here’s Tim, poor innocent Tim, all he wanted to do was just kiss a girl who told him no kisses, the sweetheart (sarcasm btw), wearing an assortment of tie-dye with a cool hair style that I don’t know the name for. And finally, the sweet gentle soul is playing piano in a Pogues shirt, futher indicating that he would just never hurt a fly, and he is just a sweet victim of a minor misunderstanding. After all, everyone knows that no doesn’t always mean no, bless his heart!
