Degrassi: The Next Generation - Season 1 (2001)

Terri is not looking forward to the school dance. She's too fat for any boy to like her, except for Spinner, that is. Too bad Paige likes Spinner too. She convinces Terri to go to the dance, but not before getting her drunk, so she'll look like a fool in front of Spinner. There's also a new student in Mr. Simpson's class: Sean Cameron, who has fallen behind a year. Emma is intrigued, despite Sean's "bad boy" image. Meanwhile, J.T. and Toby decide to skip the dance to surf pornography on the Internet.

Toby can't stand the idea of Parents Night - the last time his divorced parents were in the same room they had a huge, embarrassing fight.

Ashley and Jimmy's eight-month anniversary is coming up - and so is the question of whether or not to have sex. Paige is playing Juliet opposite Jimmy's English-class Romeo and she's planting doubts in Ashley's mind.

Jimmy is trying to make the basketball team, but with spending all that time practicing, he is behind in school. He can only do one or the other. He convinces Spinner to give him one of his Ritalin pills to boost his energy, but it has bad consequences for both Jimmy and Spinner. Meanwhile, Liberty is sick of writing Ashley's speeches for her, so she wants to take over the morning announcements for one day. Ashley knows Liberty won't be able to do it, but sets her up anyway.

Ashley's father is home from Europe, and Ashley senses something is up with her mom and her dad. They seem to get along really well. Ashley's mom tells her the truth: her dad is gay. After hearing this news, J.T. figures out an easy way to reject Liberty. He tells Liberty he's gay.

Ashley feels smothered by Jimmy and Emma gets her first period.

Emma accidentally spreads a rumour about Liberty and Mr. Armstrong. Spinner finds a bug in this cafeteria lunch.

Sean asks Emma out on a date. Spinner and Jimmy vow revenge on Mrs. Kwan.

Manny wants to join the Spirit Squad. J.T. and Toby are convinced they have a chance to win 1 million dollars.

Terri, Paige, and Ashley enter Degrassi's Lunchtime Cabaret. Emma, Manny, and Toby also do a poetic dance about endangered animals.

It's final exam time and everyone is stressed out. Especially Sean.

Ashley takes Ecstacy and ruins her relationships with Jimmy and Paige.
