Risin' up back on the street Did my time, took my chances Went the distance now I'm back on my feet Just a man and his will to survive

A Plot

Jimmy is back at Degrassi! All of this friends are happy...except for Spinner. Spinner is still wracked with guilt over the shooting, and didn't even visit Jimmy in the hospital. Jimmy is peeved, but he eventually forgives Spinner and Spinner pretty much spends his whole day doing things for Jimmy. He even organizes a celebration of Jimmy's basketball accomplishments and dubs the MVP trophy the Jimmy Brooks trophy. Afterwards, Jimmy is lamenting over the loss of his mobility and athletic dreams. He blames himself for the shooting and for pushing over the edge -- and at his lowest point, sometimes wishes Rick killed him. Spinner tearfully confesses that he and Jay (not Alex) were the ones who set Jimmy up as being part of the prank. Jimmy angrily rolls away.

The next day, word gets out and Spinner is ostracized. Marco and Craig tell him not to show up for the party and Manny unceremoniously dumps him. At The Dot, Spinner is moping and Jay shows up, telling him he's dumb for spilling the secret. They almost fight but Jay calms him does and tells him he needs a friend. They both drink liquor and get drunk in the woods and Spinner gets the idea to go to the party. He arrives staggering drunk and pleads to Jimmy to forgive him. The partygoers shun him, except for Marco who notices when Spinner grabs his car keys (that he apparently left at Joey's house) when leaving. Marco, Craig, Hazel, and Paige plead for Spinner not to drive but Spinner takes off...and is stopped by Jimmy when he rolls out in front of his car. Jimmy basically rejects all of Spinner's apologies and tells him to drive off a bridge -- because he's dead to him already. Devasted, Spinner hands off his keys to Craig.

The next day, Spinner confesses to Principal Hatzilakos that he and Jay (not Alex) were behind the prank at the quiz show. Spinner is upset and in tears, and Ms. Hatzilakos tells him to get his things. Spinner asks when can he come back, but Ms. Hatzilakos tells him he isn't coming back - due to the zero tolerance stance against bullying, he is being expelled. Sometimes the truth doesn't set you free.
