Degrassi/Recap/S10/E23 All Falls Down

"It seems we living the American dream

But the people highest up got the lowest self esteem

The prettiest people do the ugliest things

For the road to riches and diamond rings"

- Kanye West, All Falls Down

A Night at Vegas is coming to Degrassi tonight. Alli and Drew are planning on attending the dance as a couple, but there's the issue of Drew's mother. Mrs. Torres sneaks up on the two while they're studying and huffs at Alli. Mrs. Torres puts pressure on Drew to study for his exams and stress on how behind he is at school. Turns out Mrs. Torres is there for an emergency school boarding meeting -- Degrassi is on the their crap-list due to low test scores and the high profile incidents. They recommend Degrassi cancel A Night in Vegas. Holly J and Sav ask Snake to reconsider due to all the prep they put into the dance and money they raise and Snake sides with them, as long as they stay safe.

Clare is still freaked that she may be in trouble for the stink-bomb yesterday. As Snake comes up to her, Eli covers for her -- and tells him Fitz may have done it. Clare is worried Fitz may retaliate but Eli isn't afraid. They both kiss.

Drew is still having issues with studying with his exams, and KC isn't helping. Neither is Bianca, who is flirting across the room with him. She gets him to zip up the front of her hoodie with her chest in his face. Drew is blushed and turned on. During Grade 10 exams, Clare tells Alli about the kiss and wonders if Eli is still dealing with Julia and Alli tells her to ask Eli about Julia -- winter break is coming up and Eli could just as easily meet another girl.

Fiona's about to leave for New York for break and more trial prep, and she stops by to say by to Holly J. She teases her about Sav (she knows they're going out) and she says she still expects Holly J to be her sister-in-law. Holly J tells her she and Sav are just casual. Fiona holds off on the subject and hands Holly J her cocktail dress for safekeeping.

Drew and Alli are hanging out and he gets a saucy pic on his phone from Bianca. Alli is pissed, and Drew said he'll worry about it and take care of Bianca later. Alli is convinced she has nothing to worry about. Meanwhile Clare and Eli are talking in the hallway about their kiss when Fitz comes up. He's angry about being in Snake's office for an hour and before there's a confrontation, a teacher comes up. Fitz walks away and threatens Eli. Eli isn't done with Fitz yet, and Clare begs him to stop and just focus on her instead. They both plan to go to Vegas night.

Drew confronts Bianca on the text and tells her he has a girlfriend. Bianca doesn't really care that he's with Alli and tells him he shouldn't settle for Alli. She invites him to the boiler room -- no strings and tells him what his girl doesn't know won't hurt her.

In the exams, Drew shows off Bianca's pic to KC and tells KC that he's hot for Bianca but he still likes Alli. He tells KC that Bianca invited him to the boiler room and KC tells him the boiler room is a hook-up spot -- and ORAL hook-up spot. KC warns Drew about cheating, but Drew can barely concentrate on his exam, he's thinking about Bianca who's in the same room.

While Clare is getting her tickets, she runs into Fitz. Fitz promises her that he'll hurt him and Clare tells him to leave Eli alone and that Eli is trying to protect her. She reveals that she was the one with the stink bomb and she'll do anything to get Fitz to leave Eli and Adam alone. Fitz comes up with the perfect idea -- he needs a date to the dance. If Clare goes with him, he'll leave them alone.

At the end of the exam, Alli comes up to Drew and congratulates him on his exams. Drew asks her how she'll be spending the next two hours and she says she'll be at Clare's prepping for Vegas night. Which is fine with Drew, he has a meeting to do to...

Adam is talking with Clare and can't believe the promise she made to Fitz. Eli walks about and Clare decides to come clean about her promise, with some "help" from Adam. Eli is mad, and Clare tells him she's just doing it to keep him safe. Eli is still angry, and brushes off hanging with her before the dance. Eli then faces off with Fitz, and threatens Fitz if he hurts her. Fitz promises that he'll be careful with careful -- especially when they have sex.

Alli and Jenna are at Clare's house preparing for the dance. Jenna is very pregnant and mad she's dealing with the pregnancy alone. They're dressed in glamourus dresses and Clare is very conservatively, so Fitz doesn't get the wrong idea. Clare tells the girls about her deal with Fitz, and that they just need to get through this and Eli and her can be together. Eli comes to Clare's house and he wants to talk. He tells her of his plan -- he wants Clare to put ipecac in Fitz's drink. Clare refuses and Eli tells her Fitz wants to have sex with her. Eli is done trying to negotiate with Fitz. Clare decides if Eli wants to poison Fitz, she doesn't want to be at his side.

At the school's boiler room, Drew is very eager and walks down the boiler room. Bianca is there waiting for him. She relaxes him especially about his feelings for Alli. Bianca takes him down the boiler room, and does to him what she does best.
