Alli thinks he's joking but Sav tells her he isn't and we wouldn't have chosen him if he stunk, but he's great. Alli is angry and tells him Drew made her life a living hell and just how can he choose him? Sav counters and says that maybe their parents seeing her file is why she's under lockdown. Alli says that Drew is how all of this started. Sav decides to drop the matter and go with someone else which pleases Alli. At school, Sav complains about it to Holly J and Holly J reminds him she has reason to be upset with Drew. Sav just wants Alli to get over it, but he's willing to pick a terrible drummer to please her. But he hesitates before calling the terrible drummer...his future is riding on this.

Sav is mad and he tells her he helps her all the time and he gets squat in return. Alli yells back and says when does her ever need her help? He always gets everything. She asks just how was she supposed to take his betrayal, working with the guy who made her life made her life a living hell? Sav is pissed and he tells her that she made her own life a living hell and that Drew didn't force her date Johnny or sex or have a double life. He adds that ever since she's been coming to Degrassi, she made his life a living hell and he's sick of her selfish ways. Alli is in near tears and quietly says that she thought she could count on Sav, but he's like everyone else. She walks off in a huff, with Sav calling after her.
