Scott is looking pretty sloppy and guilty nowadays, after Kathleen shut him down. He’s just wearing this blah, very large polo. I don’t trust him.

Here’s your rando rollout for this episode. A teacher who is brave enough to wear all white, a student with a sick mullet, and another mullethead wearing a tee with some sort of pinup girl on it. At my high school, he’d get booted right back out the door he walked in like “GO HOME AND CHANGE IMMEDIATELY”!

I’m not sure what to say about this orange dress. I’m not sure if I love it or hate it. I guess it’s really not that bad… so maybe I love it. Melanie is staying true to this 50s vibe still. I’ve gotta say, the dress is pretty bold for a regular old day at school. But maybe not in the 80s. And then, Melanie joins the Have Nots in the streets for a movie night. It feels like we don’t ever get to go out into the city with the kids. I personally am completely fascinated by it because I’ve never lived in a city, and scenes like this just trip me out. Melanie wears a grey sweater and a floral skirt, and I’m kinda diggin this outfit; it’s not too annoying. Finally, she is still living in this retro fantasy land in this blue cardi and pink pedal pushers.

Just…. I just don’t have words. Lucy is just, a freaking goddess. All hail Lucy! Her first outfit is a yellow top, yellow headband, a burnt orange skirt, and a jacket that’s like…brownish green? But who cares because LOOK AT HER PARTY OUTFIT. Her top is a shimmery (maybe velvety?) top with cap sleeves, a big old bow, lacing down the front, and an open back – scandalous! She wears a giant brown belt, and a sparkly layered black tulle skirt. I am shook. She accessorizes with necklaces and giant earrings. Well, as you might remember, Lucy doesn’t actually go to the party. This instead ends up being her hospital outfit. Because once she finds out LD’s diagnosis, she decides to spend the evening keeping LD company, with a teddy bear and some fashion magazines. Lucy honestly taught me a lot. Sometimes I just don’t know what to do when someone’s life is falling apart. Lucy showed us that you don’t really have to do anything, just be there.

LD’s dad! Remember this guy? (Well, it seems he’s never made an appearance on broomheadz. I just looked him up and I didn’t post him before?!) I’m pleased to see his is still the same person and hasn’t undergone some strange transformation like Michelle’s dad. He’s still got that rather unbelievable rough-and-tough-chain-smoking-mechanic thing going on, wearing a flannel.

Oh, shoot. It’s just one of the worst times ever in Degrassi High world: when LD winds up in the hospital and finds out she has leukemia. This scene just, I just can’t watch it most of the times. I am shook at this actor’s delivery. It seems so real. I guess this isn’t really any fashion worth reporting, but if you were wondering what medical gowns looked like in the 80s, here’s your answer: the same as they do today.

I really like the way Kathleen put her foot down and held strong to cut ties with Scott. Her wardrobe this episode is nothing new. For school, a striped tank top with brown slacks, and it must get chilly in the evenings, because when she goes to the movies with the Have Nots, she wears a long plaid skirt, a peachy long sleeve shirt, and a green um… shoulder-sweater. Then, hey Kathleen, why you wearing your junior high sweater dawg? Why don’t you just pass that off to me mkay?

I know Joanne played a crucial role toward the end of DH, but when you really observe Joanne in the background before all that, she’s kind of a gossiper, rumor mongerer, a meddler if you will. Look at her! She’s probably gossiping right now! She’s super eager later on to peer out the window and watch Heather and Wheels’s romantic entanglement too. Anyway, we are here about the clothes. Joanne typically has a pretty plain style – t-shirts, denim and the like, so no surprises here.
