Degrassi: Never Gonna Give You Up
Overview
Terri's in heaven-- not only does she have a terrific boyfriend, the wonderful, romantic Rick, she also has the lead in a school play! Rick's being really supportive, offering her some helpful performance advice (his mom's an actress at Stratford!). But Hazel doesn't find Rick's advice helpful at all. She thinks Rick's controlling and abusive. When Hazel raises her suspicions with the rest of Terri's friends- and Terri starts coming to school with cuts and bruises- she convinces Terri that Rick is far from the perfect boyfriend. JT's been spending more and more time hanging out with Paige and her Grade 10 friends, much to Spinner's annoyance. So Spinner begins a campaign of embarrassment to drive JT back to his rightful place with the other Grade 9 geeks and losers. But JT's not going to relinquish his new popularity without a fight!
