Degrassi/Recap/S4/E20 West End Girls

"You think you're mad, too unstable

Kicking in chairs and knocking down tables

In a restaurant in a West End town

Call the police, there's a madman around"

- Pet Shop Boys, West End Girls

A Plot
Degrassi's Spirit Squad is rehearsing their end of the year routine, and there is noticeable tension between Manny and Paige, due to Manny's outing of Paige's and Mr. Oleander's relationship. Not to mention prom is around the corner. Hazel tries to set Manny up to smooth things over with Paige at the mall, but it ends badly when they are both wearing the same prom dress. And to add insult to injury, Mr. Oleander is going off to the Yukon for a job, leaving Paige alone in Toronto. Paige is on the warpath, and at the next Spirit Squad she demotes Manny to mascot. Darcy and Manny hatch a scheme to sabotage Paige's routine by dropping her and Paige hurts her leg. At prom, Manny and Paige's rivalry comes to a head, and Hazel finally confronts Paige on her Jerkass behavior. Manny tries doing something nice by voting for Paige for prom queen, but Paige is furious that Manny is wearing "her" dress and sabotages the votes so Manny can win the prom queen position, and when handing her the crown, Paige "trips" and pulls off Manny's dress exposing her in front of everyone. Paige and Manny argue in the bathroom, until they come to an uneasy truce.
