Degrassi/Recap/S10/E09 I Just Don't Know What to Do With Myself

"I just don't know what to do with myself

Don't know just what to do with myself

I'm so used to doing everything with you

Planning everything for two

and now that we're through

I just don't know what to do"

- Tommy Hunt, I Just Don't Know What to Do with Myself (made famous by countless artists, including a band targeting this show's demographic, The White Stripes.)

A Plot
Sav is jamming along with the radio, and on the phone with radio DJ Bullfrog. He has the chance to win tickets to the Deadhead reunion show. He correctly recites the line of one of their hits and wins four tickets and backstage passes! His father comes in and Sav tells him the good news...but Sav's father finds out it's on a school night...50 miles away. He forbids him to go.

Sav is crushed, but he has a way to put the tickets to good use. He and Holly J come up with a good fundraising idea for the tickets: the old-fashioned "hands on car" contest, last person to remove their hand wins. Holly J suggests for Sav to ask his dad for his nice new truck, and Sav is a little reluctant. But he figures he can convince his dad.

Sav appeals to his father to borrow his trunk for the contest. He even has a slideshow prepared to show how much he's grown. He says that he needs to be treated like an adult and not like he's a kid. He promises he's all grown-up and nothing will happen. Mr. Bhandari decides to let Sav prove him and lets him have the keys. At the contest, Degrassi students have their hands on the car, including Eli, Adam, and Bianca. Eli is desperate to go to the concert, wards off Bianca and a few other kids with his stench. Eli and Adam are last kids standing and they decide to split the four tickets. Adam and Eli help unload the speakers the truck and Adam, carrying a large amp accidentally smashes one of the taillights. Sav is pissed and screams in frustration.

Sav is frantically trying to replace the taillight. At The Dot, Eli gives him two of the passes in order to get money to fix the taillight. Peter asks that Eli could be a good friend, and Sav dismissed the idea, saying he's a grade 11. Peter reminds him he was in grade 10 when they formed Studz. Sav sells one to Bianca in order to get the money to fix the truck. Eli and Adam help fix the taillight (complete with Adam's awkward male posturing.) They ask Sav to take him to the concert and to keep his mouth shut about the taillight. Sav asks his father about the concert again, and his father is impressed with his maturity. However, Sav can't keep quiet and tells him the taillight was smashed and replaced. His father is angry and forbids him from going to the concert. Sav is distraught, but he has a idea to keep his parents out of hair -- if his dad won't give him the truck...

B Plot
Jenna is preparing for the Power Squad calendar and she gets her new Power Squad uniform -- only to find it doesn't fit and she sent in her measurements earlier that summer. KC doesn't see the problem and doesn't see her as fat, but Jenna thinks otherwise. At the Power Squad meeting at The Dot, the girls discuss weight-loss ideas and Bianca throws her two cents in -- she has fat inhibitors that her Aunt used. Jenna is thinking about it, especially after she finds out exercising won't help her melt the pounds. Jenna meets with Bianca (who warns her the pills are for obese people), and she agrees to deal the pills.

C Plot
Fiona is in her swank new apartment, and her mom is getting ready to her behind alone in the apartment. Fiona's mom is worried, but Fiona reassures her she can handle herself. She plans out spending a lot of time with Holly J, but Holly J is booked solid. And not even her therapist can spend some of time with her. Fiona is feeling lonely, and seeing the answers to her problems -- a pet pig.
