1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.

Okay, team.

Big news.

First, you have a big fan.

Um, practice is closed.

I'll leave as soon as you say you'll go see Pink Floyd with me. It's Friday

night. Tickets are $125 each, but they're worth it.

Better be.

Or else the second date, out of the question.

I'll take that as a yes.

Life is good for Holly J.

Life is great.

For all you power squatters, we made the Florida Cheerburst cheerleading

competition. I told you we worked hard enough.

Wow, first time. Best captain ever.

I'm going to need your checks tomorrow. 350 big ones.

Wow, that's a lot of money.

We're worth it.

Don't tell me you're taking up scrapbooking again.

No, honey.

I've got some bad news.

We should have told you sooner, but we thought things would get better.

Cut to the chase, Mom.

Your father made some risky investments.

So?

So we're trying to save the house, but things are going to have to change.

Hand over your credit card.

But, Mom, I need money.

The Power Squad's going on a trip. I have a date.

I'm sorry, honey. I already cut up mine.

You can't just go changing everything.

You're ruining my life.

The fact that I can be whatever it takes.

I know I can make it. I can make it. I can make it through.

Whatever it takes.

I know I can make it through.

I worked really hard on Power Squad this year.

Now you're telling me I can't go to the cheerbirds. That's not fair.

Maybe there's some sort of financial aid.

Please. You can see the anti -grapevine headline now.

Meet Holly J. to grasp the newest charity case.

It's not easy on anybody.

Your father expects me to get a job. What could I possibly do after all these

years? I don't know. Personal shopper?

You'll have to give up the concert.

We'll see about the trip.

Here.

Don't forget your lunch.

You can have it at five.

They're taking back the car today. You'll have to take the bus.

Hey, come on.

Did I hear your mom say that you're taking the bus now?

Uh, yeah, I insisted. It's never too late to go green. But you hate the bus.

People change.

Don't get distracted. We have a competition to win. You're right.

So Entertainment Scoop's really doing a piece on you?

Crazy, right? The chef okayed them coming to the school and everything.

I can't think of anyone more deserving of the attention.

Don't hesitate to take your pastels home tonight. They're due on Thursday. And

please make sure that these workstations are clean when you leave. Thank you.

Giselle makes $40 million a year. I wonder how much Mia is banking.

Two tickets to Kate Floyd.

Waited six hours.

I hope you can scalp them because I can't come to the concert.

Why?

Emergency power squad practice.

Since when?

If you don't want to go with me, just say.

I don't want to go with you.

Great.

Glad I found this out after I waited six hours in the rain.

Are you all right?

You're not bulimic or anything?

I'm hungry.

I thought it would be nice to eat in peace for once without mindless chatter

like yours.

Okay with you?

Whatever. Never mind.

Because you want to dance.

Dance. Come on, dance with me. Please, please, please, please. It wasn't

the plan, but it makes you happy.

It does.

Okay.

He definitely does.

Mom!

Peter! It's at the lockout.

Mia!

Hi, how are you?

Uh, what are you doing here?

There was a last minute seat sale, so I thought I'd come and surprise you.

I mean, check up on me.

Do I get a hug? Huh?

I'll get you the bed. How long are you here for? Oh, not long. I was only able

to get Gia's caregiver to stay a couple of nights.

Do you have a clean sheet?

Uh, maybe.

Oh, looks like I didn't come in too soon, huh, man?

Really don't know how you live in this place.

I'm the captain of the Degrassi Power Squad, president of the Degrassi Student

Council, and I have extensive retail experience.

Retail? I'm an expert shopper.

Yeah, I'm not sure you're a good fit for the dot.

I need this job.

Why, Daddy won't spring for the expensive channel bag?

It's Chanel, and no.

My university applications advisor told me I need a job experience.

gonna regret this but

i need somebody so um you're on probation until you prove yourself okay

how hard can it be you do it

let's get

homeroom i wanna see a bedroom let's get sex and forget what your

daddy said

I'm not into studying or getting good grades. I just want to party and maybe

get... Guys,

dude, the principal's watching.

We'll deal with it. We got a long song to get through.

It's getting late. Shouldn't you boys be going home?

We practice here so the parents don't bug us.

Don't use that tone with me.

I wasn't using a tone.

Are we done?

All right, come on, guys.

I'm not eating a sunny end. I'm getting good grades.

I just want to party and maybe get... Where are the fries I ordered?

Frying. Hey, my milkshake. We'll come with the fries.

What are you doing behind the counter?

I'm just working on my resume for university.

You don't have a job yet. You better get on it. You should have come with us to

get bikinis for Florida. Look.

Mia made a call. We went straight to the designer.

I could go with you tomorrow if you want.

My credit card is maxed out.

Mia said she could get us into all these cool fashion events.

How neat is that?

Yo!

French fries.

My milkshake.

Holly J, do it.

Oil and grease.

Oh, cool.

Thanks.

Fantastic.

This sucks.

You gave me some no -fat power spot milkshake by mistake.

Yeah? Well, it goes just right with your full -fat head.

Gaia, I am sorry.

I'm sorry.

Milkshake fries on the house. Here, here.

Holly J., word. Please.

Derek is a jerk, but you can't do that. The customer's always right. Okay?

Look, maybe you're a loser who likes the idea of cleaning up after morons for

the rest of your life, not me.

Well, if you're too good for it, give me your apron. You're fired. Get out.

You don't need to sneak.

I'm awake.

So, what were you doing out so late?

I thought I'd give you some space.

Well, I'd like you to come back to Regina with me after this semester.

No way.

You need someone here to keep things under control.

They are.

I'm getting better grades.

I have more friends. I'm happier.

That's great, but it's not the same thing as living with a parent.

It's better.

Everything works great when you're far away

Maybe

we just need to sleep on it You're in my bed

Degrassi may be a regular high school, but brand -new T -Bombs girl Mia Jones

anything but a regular student.

Your teammates must be so proud of you.

They're great.

Hey. Hey,

have you done the interview yet?

I don't have time for trash TV.

But it's so cool that our Mia's this big model.

Guess what? She's still definitely coming to Florida.

Oh, yeah?

Turns out I can't go.

You're missing Shearburst? Why?

It's my family.

Family wedding.

Completely forgot it's the same weekend.

Holly J. isn't coming to Florida.

But you're the captain. You have to lead the team.

Limp through without me, I guess.

Maybe Mia?

Favorite food? Good idea.

Grilled cheese.

Definitely.

Also one of my faves.

I'm sorry about what I said in the washroom.

Okay. It's just that all this Mia worship is really getting to me. It's

all -Mia, all -the -time channel. I know.

Weren't you friends?

Not really. I went to one party with her. That was enough for me.

Every time I look at these posters, I think about what she did to get up

What'd she do?

Yeah, of course.

Can I get your autograph, Mia?

I think your style is awesome.

Don't worry about missing the Florida trip.

We asked me if she'd be acting captain down there, and she said yes.

You bring your lunch now?

I forgot something. I gotta go.

Thanks a lot, Dr. West.

I think we need, like, one more person. Maybe a couple more. She needs to get

something else. You have enough tape left?

Yeah. Okay, good.

Um... You're doing a piece on Mia Jones, right?

Yeah. The fresh -faced star.

You should land at the Suite Life, huh?

Maybe not so fresh.

Sounds interesting.

Do tell.

Gunway, photoshoot, sizzling, towards the lab.

Brand -new T -Bomb's girl, Mia Jones, is anything but a regular student.

There's even talk that she might do a haute couture show at Paris Fashion

From obscurity to stardom in just a few months, Mia's rise to fame has been

quick. But what exactly is the price of such instant stardom? All I know is that

people are saying that Mia likes to hang out at wild sex parties.

I guess if you have a kid at 13, sleeping around to get a job isn't

deal. Still, it seems sad for someone to go so far for a little fame.

Mia Jones, another young girl poised on the brink of celebrity.

to be forever haunted by the rumors of hard partying and scandalous sex.

We've seen this rise to fame before, and it usually doesn't end well.

So what's next for Mia Jones?

Sex tape?

Rehab?

We can only hope Mia's path to fame doesn't lead down this road.

I should probably go.

No, no, don't leave.

It's okay, no one's going to believe it.

But part of what Holly J said, part of it's true.

That doesn't matter.

I made some big mistakes.

I'm really sorry you had to find out like this.

It's in the past.

I don't care.

I like who you are now.

That's what counts.

You're amazing. Do you know that?

I got something for you. Oh, an eviction notice?

What, do I have to rent out my bedroom now?

No. Some good news for a change.

From Heather.

She said no cheerleading competition would be complete without a Sinclair.

Is Mia okay?

Yeah.

I'm going to go check on the tenants, maybe pick up something for supper.

Whatever.

You know, you were very kind, mature with Mia.

I'm just lucky to have someone like you to talk to.

Thanks, I guess.

I really miss you.

You know, it's been really hard taking care of Gia.

And I am so proud of you and how you're turning out.

Do all models do that stuff?

Get a life, Bruce.

I'd love to.

Get a life. Where models like you do whatever it is you do at those parties.

I guess they saw the story too, huh?

I guess you guys all have way too much time on your hands.

I guess so.

Five, six, seven, eight.

One cent, two cents, three cents, a dollar. All for Ducati, stand up and

Okay,

team. Big news.

I'm coming to the chairwrest after all. I decided that this team is more

important than my cousin's wedding.

Sorry. Only team players on this trip.

No one's more dedicated to this team than me.

You're so dedicated, you'll sell out one of your teammates on national TV?

All I did was say what I heard.

You have no idea what happened.

I made a mistake.

And my teammates understand that.

And what you said was mean and hurtful. And your teammates don't understand

that.

All in favor of voting Holly J off the power squad.

You guys have no idea what's going on with me.

You can't do this. We can, and we have.

Not enough to be the big model.

Now you've got to turn everyone against me, too?

No, Holly J.

Life hands you stuff, and all you get to choose is what you'll do with what you

get.

Hmm. Now you're the top model and Dr. Phil.

Good luck winning anything in Florida without me.

The guy I wanted to be.

Why?

Turns out I'm pre -Friday night after all.

Oh.

No emergency power squad practice?

No.

Things changed.

You know, Miss Holly J., I finally figured you out.

You did?

Yeah.

You're the kind of girl who expects everything handed to her on a silver

platter.

And I'm not interested in a girl like that.

I got your message. Why didn't you want me to pick anything up for dinner?

Maybe you should have. I totally burnt the meatloaf.

You cooked.

I never once asked how Gigi was doing.

How you were doing, taking care of her.

Anything about your life at all.

So you made meatloaf.

I cooked you dinner to try to apologize for being such a jerk.

You know, I didn't come here to spy on you.

I missed you.

Being alone was hard at first, but now I like it.

Well, you've done a good job.

I can see why you don't want to move.

Let's not go so long without seeing each other.

Definitely.

Can I have my job back?

Now, why would I do that?

Because I need the money.

Before it was for your university applications.

Get your story straight, huh?

The truth is that I needed this job to pay for a power squad trip to Florida.

And you can't weasel it out of Daddy?

Daddy is broke.

I got kicked off the power squad.

Why'd you get kicked off?

I told a reporter some bad gossip about Mia.

Who?

I don't even know why I did it, really.

I do.

I stole my best friend's MP3 player once.

Why? Because he had all the stuff and I didn't.

See?

Life is so unfair.

Let me ask you something.

You got both parents?

Yeah. My dad died on me.

Oh.

I'm sorry.

Thanks. You have ball cancer?

Of course not.

Well, I did.

And if I could get through all that, you can get through this.

Right?

Um, excuse me?

Can we get some service, please?

All right, bye.

What can I get you?

And it better not just be two waters.
