S1E1: Mother and Child Reunion Part 1
Aired: 2001
I can’t believe I’m here writing about TNG Emma Nelson, the reason why I got hooked on Degrassi in the first place! She’s got these like, side half-buns, a periwinkle tank and matching shorts. And then some green PJs.

Caitlin’s back, and of course she’s kinda famous! But it’s so weird that even though she’s famous and rich, she’s not 100% happy, right? Anyway, so apparently, the age she is right here in this episode is the age I am right now. LOL. I look and act more like the school kids to this day, but whatever. Anyway, she’s got this short haircut and a nice blonde color. She wears this skin-tight red tank top with horizontal slits along the back, and some black pants. And we get a little look at the giant rock on her hand bought for her by a total jerk.

This feels crazy. Finally writing about DTNG after 4.5 years of broomheadz is a long-awaited and exciting moment. Although DJH/DH are my favorite, DTNG is what I grew up with. In 2001 I was 13. Let’s do this!
We start off with Angie, Joey’s daughter. She’s wearing an orange tee, some turquoise overalls, a floral bandanna, and a cute little necklace and bracelet.

The images within this post bring so many thoughts. Despite his unexplainable loveability, Wheels wasn’t the best person – we all know that. And I feel like in this episode, all his faults and worst qualities culminated into a perfect storm that ended in disaster. This ending was just, such a shocker. I mean, I kinda already knew about it because I watched it in like 2015 after I’d already kinda heard it mentioned in TNG and the internet and whatnot. But I can’t imagine what people were feeling, watching this for the first time in 1992.
Anyway, Wheels’s style has changed a bit by now. His hair is longer and poofier, and his clothes are greasier and dirtier, and he wears more bandannas. It’s a look though, I do like it. But his looks and behaviors do make me uneasy throughout the movie. I don’t know why, it’s like, he’s throwing all caution and care to the wind, and you can see it happening. He’s turned super smug and doesn’t look or seem like himself.
And can we just take a moment to talk about that deleted scene from DTNGS1E1 at the class reunion where Wheels comes to apologize to Lucy? Man that is heart-wrenching. But I’m glad he came out the other side. And I hope he found some joy.

I’m sad Spike didn’t play a bigger role in School’s Out, but at least we get a bunch more of her in TNG! Basically, it’s just a lot of her wearing this orangey uniform to work at the photo lab. But she does have a gorgeous royal purple ruffly top and a fresh bleach job to Simon and Alexa’s wedding.

We get a lot of Snake and we sure haven’t seen the last of him, goodness. I’m actually in the process of screenshotting Degrassi Next Class (before I delete Netflix ASAP) and 20 years later he’s still all up in it. So let’s get into it. Here he is in his graduation robe. He plays pool in some shirt, it’s too dark to tell what’s on it. But come on, the reason you’re all here at School’s Out isn’t for the sex or bikinis, it’s for Snake’s lifeguard getup. He wears this bright yellow, blue, and white tank, these incredibly small shorts, a bucket hat that seems a little small, and slathers on that sunscreen, right on the nose. Schnoz? I felt the need to write schnoz. Sometimes I’m like channeling some other person when I write these things. No offense but that pool is just not cute. Maybe that was the point. And then Snake learns he’s the only virgin left in this cool staticy tee. Oof, then he’s got on this weird striped polo with flowers on it? It’s like horrible, but I also like it, you know? And at the final party where ALL IS EXPOSED…. Snake wears a stripedy tee. And a scowl. He goes off to college – sorry, university – looking mighty mature in a teal polo. Then he brings his new piece of tail to Simon and Alexa’s wedding – Pam. And Snake is all suited up.

Time for our extras, minors, randos, etc. First is the jewelry store man, disappointed he has Joey and Joey’s measly wallet as customers. Then is some random dude in the weed smoking circle, wearing nothing worth mentioning – he does have cool hair though. Next is a lady in a yellow spotted high-waist bikini at the public pool. Then another babe in a flowery one-piece. But I gotta say I love the grandma in goggles and a flower swim cap the best – she’s got the best looks at this concrete watering hole. And then, I think this is a lady at the abortion place? And maybe I’m crazy, but she looks kinda like she might be Lucy’s mom. Like, Anais wrote an article that showed pictures of her parents and I swear I remember her mom looking like that. I don’t know, it’s probably nothing. Next is another abortionist in a big floral dress to show us we are definitely creeping into the 90s for sure. And then, sorry to include such a terrible photo, but here are some servicepeople on the job after the accident.

When you think of School’s Out, who do you think of? Chances are it’s probably Caitlin. That’s why we have a crapton of Caitlin shots for you today. Now I don’t know how it is that this movie is able to convey emotions so strongly. This film is so tangible. You can feel the sun on your skin, you can smell the parties, you can feel the feelings. So Caitlin’s ups and downs really take me along for the ride.
On to the fashion, her hair is a golden hue now, and still pretty big for graduation. I got a little closeup of the ring that Joey got for her, a heart with diamonds. To the post-grad party, she wears a grey belted dress. And the next morning her hair is enormous and she wears a bathrobe. Then her waitressing uniform is like a beer maiden outfit or something but it’s cute. We get a shot of some blue blouse that I can’t describe any more than that. Then we live a little summer fantasy in this long blue halter dress. Then, she’s daydreaming about sex in this purple one piece. I remember when swimsuits felt like this. The material was kinda thin, the suit was too big in some places and too tight in others, and chlorine would eat up the fabric real quick. For a big date night, she wears a collar necklace and a green top, condom in tow. And for the big infamous party, she wears this blue tunic with a black belt and black shorts. It’s super cute outfit. Then, we get a brief look at her visiting Lucy in the hospital in an oversized button down. And finally, to the wedding she wears a shiny gold dress, an updo, and pearls, looking like a full grown lady.

After trying to screencap this pair individually, I realized it’s easiest to just combine them into one post! Sorry they’re all out of order, but you remember what happens – they’re engaged, they fight a little bit while partying, and then they get married! Alexa’s hair is a nice warm shade of brown, and we get to see her in a blue tank and patterned shorts, her graduation gown, and this AWESOME post grad dress that’s off the shoulder and ruffly, then a couple of floral tees. And finally, a great early 90s wedding dress, very extra and very poofy. As for Simon, he’s grown his hair into a bit of a shag, and he wears a lot of the same that we’re used to – button downs, khakis, polos. But come on, let’s talk about what we’re really all here to talk about – Simon got a perm for his wedding day. I’m not really sure what to say about it. But he’s a nice poodly groom. It actually doesn’t look that bad. He could pull off the naturally-curly thing.
So yeah, I’m really glad we got to see Simon and Alexa in this movie, I’m glad they came back. I just love Alexa, she’s a bright ray of sunshine, and Simon is not so bad either.
Should I do a “where are they now” segment at the end of all this? I’m not sure if I want to or not, but I’ll say that I am honored and privileged to have been able to correspond with Ms. Irene (Alexa) the past couple of years via broomheadz. She’s one of my favorite characters so I’m still extremely humbled at the thought! From what I can see, she is having a great life and has a beautiful family.
As for Michael (Simon), I could have sworn I saw that he worked on TV or film sets behind the scenes. I think I found his LinkedIn or something at some point. But I just now did a brief little search and couldn’t locate him. I didn’t go into full stalker mode or anything though.

Wheels, what a sweetie! He cleans up nice, don’t ya think? Enjoy this one and only opportunity to see him in no denim and a tie. His mullet is also tighter than usual.
