-At Paige. Ellie and Marco’s-*Paige is blow-drying her hair which wakes Alex up*Paige: Morning sleeping beautyAlex: If you really loved me you wouldn’t hurt my ears this early. Paige: Well I’ve got to drop the store key with Jimmy hit the bank groceries and a job interview. Très multitask. Alex: So what am I gonna do all day?Paige: How about you recharge after the last two weeks? Your final Degrassi semester got you those crazy great grades you were after. Alex: Yet not even straight A’s could get my mom to ditch Chad the free-loading conman. So much for moving back home. Paige: Hon. I know it’s hard but you can stay here until you get back on your feet. *Paige kisses her goodbye* Alex: Bye. *Paige goes into the kitchen* Marco: Paige how long is Alex crashing? Like is she looking for a job or-Paige: Her last reference is from a strip bar. She needs help and time. Marco: Yeah well who’s gonna help her ditch the TV remote and pick up the want ads? Paige: Hon you and I are lucky enough not to know what it’s like when your parents screw you over. Sympathy s'il vous plaît? Thank you. So can I go to my life-changing interview? We’ll discuss this later okay?-At Paige’s new job-Paige: Andrea? *The girl keeps walking* Paige: Okay guess not. Andrea: Are you the new girl?Paige: Paige. It is so good to meet you Andrea. Andrea: *She pronounces her name differently* Andrea. Paige: Andrea. Of course. So much for a good first impression right?Andrea: Look this job you’re gonna iron more clothes than you wear okay?Paige: Well how about chiffons? I mean steaming sure but will the Malandrinos really hold up?Andrea: Malandrinos? We’ve been practicing that at home haven’t we?Paige: My whole life clothes geek. Andrea: Whose pinafores did you like this season? Paige: Chanel’s. The rest are un-wearable. Andrea: Look I need someone at my beck and call. Totally committed. Paige: Look I will get coffees. I will pin hems. I’ll do model sweat duty really. Andrea: Are you a fashion student?*Paige shakes her head no*Andrea: Good. We have our spring line runway show for clients happening this week. Drop-offs details emergencies. You drive?Paige: Yes. Andrea I will not let you down. So-Andrea: Write this down. *She starts giving orders as Paige follows behind her* -In Mr. Simpson’s class-*Manny walks in late and Damien comes in right behind her*Mr. Simpson: Manny and Damien. A match made in lateness. Something I should know about?Damien: Not yet. Mr. Simpson. Mr. Simpson: Okay. Well while Liberty is away at leadership camp acting vice-president Toby has an announcement. Toby: Um in response to concerns raised by the merger we’re gonna be holding a referendum. On Thursday we’re gonna vote on whether Lakehurst clubs and teams should integrate into Degrassi’s or stay separate. *Everyone starts talking* Mr. Simpson: Alright cool your jets guys. Come on. Let’s get this class started alright?Emma: Hey lets instil segregation. Apartheid worked so well in South Africa. Why not here? We should do something. Manny.*Manny is staring at Damien*Emma: Hello? Earth to Manny. Manny: Yeah totally. Together good. Separate bad. Emma: Speaking of together or separate what’s going on with you and Damien?Manny: Things kind of fizzled after the Lakehurst feud kind of thanks to you actually but am I bitter?*He gives her a little wave and she smiles*-At Paige. Ellie and Marco’s-Marco: So why do you think you’d be a good roommate uh Griffin?Griffin: Uh well I’m quiet clean and studious. Ellie: Hmm that might not work. We’re kind of loud. Paige: And sort of messy. Ellie: Yeah we do homework in front of the TV. You’re an engineering student right?Griffin: Yeah well and I book bands for the club and I spin. So loud’s okay. Ellie: Well Griffin it was great meeting you. Griffin: Okay um I’ll let myself out. You guys get ready to talk about me. *He leaves* Marco: Thank you. No more callers. Ellie: Hey I’m not so sure. A hot roommate is a lot more pressure than regular ones. I need freedom to wear flannel. Paige: Griffin was incredibly cute and normal. It’s two to one. Sorry Ellie. Alex: Hmm a guy here would be weird. It’s a tie. Paige: Um hon you know we love you but you don’t really get so much of a vote. The rent’s the rent you know?Alex: Right. Of course. -In the hallway-Manny: Damien the guy who let a tiny cheerleading protest wreck a relationship last semester. Damien: Well a gym full of people shouting “go home Lakehurst” doesn’t leave the memory easily. Manny: Well now you have a reason to forget also known as me or was that not flirting that I saw in class today?Damien: What are you suggesting Miss Santos?Manny: That we give it another try that we live in the present. Damien: I like presents. Anya: Um smile for the grapevine.*She takes their picture* -At Paige’s-Paige: Alex please stop pouting. You know it’s only-*Paige looks at her laptop* Paige: No no no. Ugh! Come on. I’m so stupid. Alex: What’s the matter?Paige: My licence expired and I thought I could renew it online but…Alex half of this job is driving. Alex: 72 hour wait. Paige: I have to be there in an hour. Alex: You have a car. I have a licence. Paige: You would do that?Alex: Well it might eat into my couch time but it will be fun to hang out for a change. Paige: Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. The entire fashion industry owes you huge. Ready to hit the road? -Later that night-*Paige and Alex walk in with a bunch of clothes*Marco: Bonjour couture and Alex its newest fan?Alex: Uh not quite. Paige: Had a little licence issue but this adorable super human is chauffeuring so I don’t lose my job. Alex: The things I do to spend time with you. I just don’t get why we have to bring all this stuff here. Paige: Um hon we can’t leave them at the venue alone. They are priceless. Marco flown from Milan today. Marco: No!*Marco tries to grab it and Paige pulls it away* Paige: Oh no touch pas. Alex: I saw a pair of $1200 shorts tonight. Who buys $1200 shorts?Paige: I wish I could! Being near them on the runway will have to do. Alex: That’s just sad. So uh this show it’s for the world’s 5 other shorts-loving freaks? Marco: This show is like a huge deal. They said in the paper today who’s sitting front row. Paige: Hon I will be done at the office at 4 tomorrow but if I’m not outside you can just wait for me okay? Alex: Sure. Getting used to that. *Alex leaves and Paige and Marco keep squeeing over the clothes* Marco: This is unreal. Paige: I don’t even know what to do. Marco: Try it on! That’s what you do!Paige: Are you kidding?-In the media immersion room-Toby: You’re on the Internet. Emma: Again?Manny: I swear I’ve done nothing net-worthy. Toby: Degrassi Grapevine disagrees. Manny: Good news travels fast. I guess. *She sees the picture of her and Damien on the Grapevine* Manny: Damien look we’re the interracial poster children for Degrassi/Lakehurst unity. Damien: Hmm. Manny: What too much press too soon?Damien: No it’s just a little ironic. The whole separation thing was kind of my idea. Manny: Hold on. Why would you do that?Damien: Because I believe in it. Lakehurst needs its own identity especially now. Manny: Damien the rivalry is only gonna get worse. What about-?*She gestures to their picture* Damien: No problem. We can be together ever if our schools are apart. Manny: Wouldn’t it be better if we were double together?Damien: Manny you just don’t understand politics. Manny: The only thing I don’t understand is why I thought this could ever work condescending ass. *She walks away* Damien: Hold on that came out wrong. -Outside Paige’s job-Paige: *On the phone* Say you’re at the corner. I’ve been waiting here for 40 minutes. Alex: *On the phone* I will be soon. Paige-y. I just had to um…just read the style section okay? I’ll get there as soon as I can. *Alex is shown smoking weed with Jay* Paige: *On the phone* How about don’t bother? I can take care of myself okay?*She hangs up*Paige: Taxi!-At Paige. Marco and Ellie’s-Alex: I have to go get her. Jay: First Mel leaves me. Now you. My heart is cracked open and leaking love juice all over the place. Alex: Your heart will heal. I can’t drive. I’m too stoned. No what am I gonna tell Paige?Jay: That I’m a mess. That you’re being a good friend. She’ll get it. Alex: No she’ll have a fit actually. These are the only things she cares about.*Alex pulls out one of the dresses* Jay: Woah Mel would look so hot in that. God I miss her. Alex: And that’s why I keep you around! For your brilliant ideas!-Later that night-Paige: Alex! Alex can you at least do me the courtesy of being here when I yell at you. You ditched me!Alex: I know. I’m sorry but Mel dumped Jay and he really needed-Paige: Let me guess a shoulder to get high on?Alex: I’m sorry. I was a jerk but can I make it up to you?*She takes off her robe to show the dress she’s wearing* Paige: Oh my god. Take off the dress now!Alex: But I was trying to surprise you. Paige: Well congratulations! Take off the dress and then get out of my room. -The next day-*Griffin is moving in and Paige is steaming the dress* Alex: Coffee? I found more. Paige I’m sorry. I. I thought my wonder girl Paige could manage on her own. Paige: On my own. I’m fine. Someone else caused the problem. Alex: I made a mistake. I didn’t understand how seriously you were taking this whole gig. Paige: How could you not? This is the first thing I’ve been excited about since I bombed out of Banting. Alex: I’m not like you with plans and stuff. I always feel like I’m behind. Maybe that’s why I need you. Paige: Well what about when I need you?Alex: I’ll be there. How can I prove it?Paige: Chocolate reminders for tonight’s show. They have to be wrapped and couriered to all the VIPs by noon. Should have been done last night but um I was busy. Alex: I’ll get it done. Paige. Paige: I know you will because screwing up is not an option. -Outside the school-Damien: Manny! Manny! Manny stop. Manny: Sorry not only do I not understand politics. I have trouble with simple commands. Damien: I’m sorry about yesterday. Listen I didn’t mean to imply you were anything less than brilliant. Manny: But we’re both smart enough to realize the truth right? About us?Damien: Uh oh. Manny: Damien it’s not gonna work. I think the personal is political and if I can’t support your campaign then I can’t support you. Damien: I respect that but it doesn’t sound good for the faces of Degrassi/Lakehurst unity. Manny: Well at least we can agree on that. Damien: I think we just set the record for the world’s shortest relationship. Manny: I guess it wasn’t meant to be. We’re just too different. Damien: It’s ‘cause I’m black isn’t it?Manny: Well now that you mention it. Damien: So what you just wanted the cred?Manny: Why do you people always play the race card?Damien: That’s highly offensive. *Holly J and Anya overhear their joking and look at each other shocked* -At Paige’s job-Andrea: What’s Ms. Hagerty going to wear?Paige: Couriered the purple jersey. Andrea: And the models?Paige: Are in makeup as we speak. Andrea: What about the new music mix?Paige: Oh uh tracks 1-6. Have it on a loop. Andrea: Now why haven’t any of my VIPs called to gush over their edible gold reminders?Paige: They haven’t? But I had them sent out. Andrea: You had them sent?Paige: Andrea. I swear they were at the courier by noon. Andrea: It’s your first week and you’re subcontracting already. Paige: *under her breath* Alex. Andrea: Paige focus. We’re in the leads here. Now if you can’t handle this-Paige: No I can. I can. I’m sure it was nothing more than a little snag. I can fix it. Trust me. Andrea: You certainly will. It won’t be a problem at show time right? Paige: Of course not. Everything is under control. Andrea: You looking for something?Paige: I uh. I just can’t seem to find the contact sheet. *Andrea gives her it* Paige: Thank you. Andrea: Just do your job and don’t wear that. -At Spirit Squad rehearsal-Holly J: So Manny. Chantay and I were just trying to figure out who’s hotter. Brad or Kanye?Manny: You’re serious? Ryan Gosling hands down. Chantay: Figures. Manny: What’s that supposed to mean?Chantay: As long as he’s not black right?Manny: Excuse me?Holly J: Rumour has it you’re a racist. Manny: Rumour has it you have webbed toes. Holly J: Sorry Manny but most of us understand that racism is a very serious issue. Manny: Guys I can’t believe this. Chantay: So the rumour’s true then?Manny: No! Where are you getting this crap from?Holly J: People who overheard you talking to Damien today. Manny: Dude we were joking! This is insane. Come on. I’ll prove it.*They walk into the hall and Manny goes up to Damien*Manny: So you heard? *She points to herself*Manny: Racist. Awesome huh?Damien: What do you mean?Manny: Some people didn’t think our joke was very funny but seems to be working out well for you though. Lots of support huh?Damien: You think people are supporting me because of that?Manny: Well I don’t think it’s hurting. So you need to do something for me. Hey! Listen up. Unscheduled announcement from Damien Hayes. Damien: I heard some vicious rumours. I want you all to know that Manny Santos is not a racist. Holly J: Then why did she dump you?Damien: Trust me. The reasons are far more than skin deep. Manny: Unlike Damien. I happen to be a firm believer in unity. He wants to keep the schools divided but what Damien doesn’t get about politics is that when there’s solidarity there’s strength. I hope you all remember this as you make your way to the polls. Derek: Yeah!Danny: Bravo. One school. -At the fashion show-Paige: *On her phone* Paige here. Ms. Levoy you will? Great. I’ll see you seen. Andrea: Paige! How are my- this chair is crooked. How are my VIPs? Paige: Last one just confirmed. All seats filled with appropriate seats. Andrea: Impressive but we’re still really behind. Now I need you to-Alex: Paige!*Andrea gasps in horror as Alex walks on the runway*Alex: Paige I um…okay. I couldn’t get the stuff to everyone. Andrea: Paige. We can’t have this her. *Paige grabs Alex’s arm and they move away from Andrea* Paige: Alex what is wrong with you? You didn’t deliver the reminders did you?Alex: No ‘cause I saw the invoice. $3000 for chocolate? That’s 3 months rent to where I come from. Paige: And if I hadn’t spent the last hour frantically calling people about the show. I’d have lost my job. Alex: This isn’t happiness. Paige. This is a lame temp gig that has you acting like a diva. Paige: Who asked you to judge what is okay for this company or me? I am trying to start a career I actually care about. Alex: You actually care about this artificial crap? Paige you wrap presents and iron dresses like a maid. Sorry if I have principals. Paige: You know what? You were better off as a stripper. It is all great to climb up on your high horse but at least that girl was working for something. *Paige tries to walk away and Alex stops her* Paige: Alex. I’m done!*They both walk away angry*-In Mr. Simpson’s class-Ms. Hatzilakos: *On the TV* Yesterday you went to the polls to decide whether the Degrassi and Lakehurst teams and clubs should be separate or together and the results are in with a resounding vote in favour of unifying clubs and teams. Thank you. Mr. Simpson: Thing of beauty democracy. And speaking of democratic freedom feel free to take your seats. Manny: Hey. If it’s any consolation you weren’t totally wrong. Some things are better apart like us. No hard feelings? Damien: Are you kidding? You totally blind sighted me in front of the whole school. Manny: It’s not my fault you smart boys are so easily manipulated. Damien: Oh is that what you think? Everyone. Manny’s a sexist!*She covers his mouth*Manny: Joking. Very funny. Damien: So you’re sure you don’t want to go out on one more date?Manny: Positive. Damien: How about Emma? Is she single?*Manny shakes her head with a smile* -At Paige and Marco’s-Paige: Then I had to return everything after the show so I blew every cent I made on taxis. Marco: Yeah but you still have your job though right?Paige: Andrea gave me a gift bag so unless that’s code for move on sister-Marco: It’s code for hottest shades ever.*Alex walks in and sees a duffle bag*Paige: I think everything’s in there. Where are you gonna go?Alex: My mom has a cousin in Ajax. I’ll find a job. I’ve got options. Paige: Look I’m sorry. I thought it would be good for you here. Alex: Yeah but I was still alone. I lost you to a fantasy world. Paige: This is the right thing to do but it still hurts. Alex: You make it sound like cough syrup.*Alex leaves and Paige puts on the sunglasses*-Scenes for next week-Voiceover: On an all new Degrassi. Jimmy and Ashley chase the spotlight. Ashley: If I’m chasing dreams you’re coming with me. Jimmy: Okay.*Ashley is shown singing and the crowd looks bored*Johnny: Lame!Voiceover: But one outshines the other and we all know what that means.*Jimmy is shown rapping and everyone is into it*Ashley: Jimmy all they saw was you!Jimmy: But I helped you pick up the crowd. Ashley: I didn’t ask you to.*Jimmy is performing and Ashley watches from backstage* Ashley: People thought I was Craig’s sidekick. I don’t want to be Jimmy’s. Does that make me a bitch?*Ashley is shown about to delete Jimmy’s rap from the computer*
