When Erica starts seeing a new boy, it frightens Heather. One abortion was bad enough, but what if she goes too far again? Heather has to come to terms with her own guilt at having supported Erica. Alison says she's giving up on her campaign to win Snake, but when he invites Alison's best friend Amy to the dance, the claws come out. Scooter suddenly notices that his pal Tessa is (gasp!) a girl!
The kids are back to school in a new building. Erica had her first ""serious"" boyfriend, and think she may be pregnant after a night of unsafe sex with her Jason. Spike's daughter, Emma goes to daycare in the same building as Degrassi high. The Degrassi gang are both fearful of initiation, and they do not know what to expect out of the older bullys like Dwayne, Tabi, and Nick. Joey and Caitlin are still going out but his priorities are the promotion of his band, The Zit Remedy, (which this season will have a new name called The Zits)
Erica decides to keep the pregnancy a secret (the only person she tells is her twin sister, Heather). She also decides to have an abortion. Heather, disapproves of this, but accompanies her to the abortion clinic anyways.Also Alexa dislikes her boyfriends(Simon) new modeling job.
