Lucy becomes director and writer of her first film: a feminist horror flick starring the Zits, Simon and Caitlin, with Alexa, Tim and Heather as crew. But the film that's playing in Lucy's mind is a far cry from the one that's unfolding in the empty Saturday morning corridors of the school. Spike is nervous when Shane starts hanging around the school watching her.
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.
