Liz begins to have repressed memories of being sexual abused as a child.

No!
Please stay out of my room.
No.
No, please.
No!
Hi, liz.
You're not allowed in.

Open the door.
You'll wake your mother.

Whatever he says
is right.
Look, you girls
won't even...
Stand a chance of winning.
I wonder if she'll
go out with me.
They are
her favorite band.
But we've never
gone out before.
What's all this
nervousness?
You've been
buddies for ages.
Yeah.
Of course, you have
a massive crush on her.
Exactly.
It is sort of a date.
What can you lose
except your pride?
My dignity.
Everything.
But go for it.
Tim:
There she is.
Girl on p.A.:
...Ford mustang,
license plate bte 243
You have left your lights on.
Liz.
Hi.
You like
the pogues,
right?
I love them.
I'm missing their
concert tonight.
You can go.
C.R.A.Z. Was giving
away free tickets.
Guess who was
The fourth caller.
So, would you like
to go with me?
I'm sorry, I've got
way too much homework.
It's no problem.
I can find someone else.
Spike:
Homework?
It's Friday night.
Snake, what are you
doing tonight?
I thought you'd never ask.
( bell rings )
Why couldn't she go?
Too much homework.
Good morning, class.
Take your seats, please.
It's probably
better this way.
Excuse me, archie.
Everyone.
Sorry.
Here's your globe.
Everyone take your
textbooks out, please.
Those of you who did
the required reading
Know that we'll be
discussing climate.
You're welcome.
So I'll come by
around 6:30.
Sounds good.
See you then.
Bye-bye.
Hi.
How are you?
Fine.
How's it going...
Romeo?
You and tessa are
hitting it off pretty good.
Yeah, I don't know
if I'm doing things right.
Last week, we went
to the planetarium.
We got back real late.
We sat and talked
on her porch for a while.
I was getting these signals,
like maybe she wanted me
To kiss her.
But I didn't.
I sensed she was,
I don't know... Something.
Disappointed, maybe.
She was struggling to stop
from tearing his clothes off.
She's an animal.
It was dark, it was perfect,
and then he didn't do anything.
Maybe you should kiss him.
No way, he'll think I'm easy.
You're going out again tonight.
Be more obvious this time.
How?
I don't
know.
How many dates
Have I
been on?
What am I supposed to do?
I want to kiss her,
and I think she wants me to
But maybe
I'm wrong.
How do you tell these things?
You're asking us?
Hey, I've been on dates.
Yeah, did you ever
kiss melanie?
Almost.
I still can't believe
you said no.
You love the pogues.
I have homework.
It's Friday night.
It isn't tim, is it?
Because he's a really nice guy.
You don't know that for sure.
Yes I do.
I've known him
since sixth grade.
He's really sweet.
Yeah, well, I'm not into dates.
How do you know?
You never go on them.
Try being normal
for a change.
Anyways, it's not
a date date.
It's a concert.
You want to see
the pogues.
You've said so
a million times.
Yeah, but he's probably given
the ticket to somebody else.
Maybe not.
Why don't
you ask him?
He's sitting right over there.
Come on.
You'll be here?
Yeah.
Promise you'll wait?
Yes! Go on.
Ralph:
Let's do a rap version
of the barber of seville.
I don't know, ralph.
The world
isn't ready
For a classical-
rap-fusion band.
Why not?
Tim.
I guess you've given away
that pogues ticket?
Uh...
Uh... Yeah, yeah,
he's still got it.
I think I'd like to go
after all.
Great.
But just as friends, right?
Of course.
I'll pick you up
around 7:00.
Okay.
Thank you, thank you.
Thank you!
On the way home
In the romantic glow
of the streetlights--
"tim, you're so handsome."
Yeah, that sounds realistic.
She takes his hand and smothers
it in kisses of passion.
Don't stop there, go on.
She kisses her way up his arm.
"oh, tim," she moans.
She looks up at him and...
I think I need glasses.
Yeah, sounds
pretty realistic.
Just joking, tim.
Come on.
Hey, joey, thanks
for the fries, man.
Hey, dwayne.
Let's do something
this weekend, okay?
I'm busy.
Dwayne, what's wrong
with you these days?
Wouldn't it be funny
if that tray fell?
Yes, it could get
terribly messy.
Leave him alone.
How come you're suddenly so nice
to that little cockroach?
Is he blackmailing you
Or something?
Tabi:
Dwayne.
What's with him?
So, that was
a good movie, eh?
I don't know.
It was pretty scary.
Those were amazing
special effects.
It was incredible
When that snake
came out of her mouth.
Eew, that was so gross.
I didn't close
my eyes in time.
I'll have nightmares
for weeks.
Well, here we are.
Home again, home again,
jiggity jig.
Right.
So, uh... It was
a fun evening, eh?
Yeah.
I'd better go.
Right.
Remember the last
number they did?
Too bad they didn't
do another one.
Look at the drummer.
He looks
hilarious.
Remember those idiots
two rows ahead?
Think they were stoned?
Definitely not.
I bet they don't remember
anything of the show.
Yeah, really.
Sorry, I can't
invite you in.
My mom goes
to bed early.
No problem.
Thank you so much
for inviting me.
Glad you had a good time.
I had a fabulous time.
You're really good company.
We could do this
again some time.
Sure.
Well, good night.
Good night.
No... No!
Shh! Don't wake your mother.
Get out of my room.
Liz.
I'm sorry.
What did I do?
No.
No, get out of my room.
No.
You're not allowed in my room.
No, you're hurting me.
Please.
Shh...
Don't.
You don't want your
mom to be angry.
Get out of my room.
Shh.
No, stay away.
It's okay, liz.
I just want to kiss you.
But you can't
tell anybody, okay?
It's our little secret.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
Dorothy:
So, how did it go?
Tessa:
Take a guess, dorothy.
He didn't kiss you?
I gave him
every opportunity.
Maybe he's just
a slow starter.
I've seen
faster turtles.
He doesn't like me.
So we break up.
I don't care.
I thought you
really liked him.
I wish he'd kiss me.
Giveim
another chance.
We've gone out
three times
And he hasn't
held my hand.
Hi.
I'm in a rush.
No, tessa, wait.
Tessa.
Hi.
You didn't accidentally
touch her somewhere
She wouldn't
like to be touched?
No.
This is weird.
Tell me about it.
Here she comes.
Liz, look, I'm sorry.
I don't want
to talk about it.
I didn't mean to upset you.
I don't want to talk about it!
Leave me
alone.
Whoa.
I don't know why
she's being like this.
It was just
a good night kiss.
The degrassi film society
will be screening
The great mexican
chili adventure.
Admission will be $4, and
tickets go on sale at the door.
Don't miss this
all-time classic.
Hi, how was the concert?
Fine.
Wow, you have amazing
descriptive powers.
I don't want to talk about it.
They were no good?
Is everyone deaf around here
all of a sudden?
I don't want
To talk about it,
all right?
All right, hit me now.
I thought we
were grooving.
Has liz talked to you at all
about Friday night?
No.
What happened, anyway?
She was acting
pretty weird.
I don't know
what happened.
I went to kiss her good night
and she freaked.
What do you mean
"kiss her good night"?
A peck, that's all.
I swear.
Come on,
spike.
You know me.
I wouldn't hurt a fly.
I don't know why
she's being like this.
She's obviously
really upset
And I feel awful.
She won't talk to me.
You're her friend.
Will you tell
her I'm sorry?
Please?
Hi, people.
Okay, folks
Let's get started.
We'll tune up to b-flat.
Whoa!
This is to remind
all band members
That tomorrow morning's practice
will begin at 7:30.
Percussionists are still needed
So anyone wishing to audition
should show up before practice.
Tim says he's
really sorry.
What happened?
It doesn't matter.
He's really upset
you won't let him apologize.
So you're on his side?
No, I'm on your side.
Yeah? You could have fooled me.
What is it with you
And guys,
anyway?
If it was just a little peck...
Kissy-kissy ain't no
problem-- any guy, right?
No, but it's okay
to kiss good night.
It's easy to see
why you got pregnant.
Shh!
What sort of cheap shot
was that?
What's going on
inside your mind?
Why don't you tell me
What's wrong?
We've been friends
a long time.
I tell you
everything.
Maybe I can help.
I can't.
Okay, if that's
how you want it.
Guy:
I'll pay you
30 bucks.
No!
One essay.
Girl:
It could have used
a much better script.
Alex.
Yeah?
We need to talk.
Attention, could derek wheeler
please come to the office?
What do you want
to talk about?
Us.
Look, it's obvious
you don't like me.
What?! I like you.
Oh, right.
What did I do?
Nothing, that's
the whole point.
I thought
we had fun Friday.
We did.
Didn't we?
Why didn't you kiss me?
I didn't know
if you wanted me to.
Did you want a fax?
That's all
beside the point.
Obviously we don't communicate
So I think we should
call it quits now
Before it gets too messy.
So, uh... See you in class.
What was that assignment
in geography again?
Uh...
Check it out.
Hey, joey,
how's the car?
Where are your
little friends?
Rats desert the sinking ship.
What's the problem?
I don't know,
it won't start.
I can't afford to take it
To the garage anymore.
You know about cars?
My dad fixes up
old cars.
Just be careful you don't
Mess it up
more, all right?
So how's it going?
Great.
I love being hiv-positive.
Sometimes I dream I don't
have it, I'm normal again
Everything's great.
Then I wake up,
I've still got it.
I want to kill myself.
Don't say that.
Why not?
It's going
to happen anyway.
You're the only
person who knows.
I told you
by mistake.
I haven't even
told my parents yet.
You got to tell them.
No way.
My dad would kill me.
You wouldn't have to do it
Yourself.
Aw, man,
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean that.
I say stupid things...
No.
That's okay.
I like it.
It's kind of funny.
Okay, try it now.
Won't have to do it myself.
All right!
That's great.
Thanks a lot.
Listen, want a lift?
Sure.
Hop in.
Mommy.
Emma:
The bucket,
the water.
She really is cute.
Try telling that
to the little boy
She beat
up today.
I swear, she's going to be
in a motorcycle gang
When she grows up.
You know, you're right.
Best friends should
tell each other everything.
I want to tell you
why we moved here.
When I was nine,
my mom had this boyfriend.
They were going
to get married.
Mom worked
evenings
And when we were alone,
he started to look at me funny.
At first he made me
sit on his lap.
And then he made me touch...
Touch it.
And other stuff.
Spike:
Oh, my god.
He said if I told anybody,
they wouldn't believe me
And mom would be angry.
He said I made him
do it, it was
my fault.
You were just a little kid.
Mom found out
finally.
She wasn't mad.
That's why
we moved here.
Whenever a guy
gets too close...
Most times
I can forget.
But sometimes
I have these dreams...
I can see him.
I can see him
coming into my room.
I can feel him.
He's on top of me.
He weighs so much...
I can't move.
I feel so dirty.
You've got to talk
to someone who can help.
I feel so dirty.
I feel so dirty.
Well, well.
Well, well.
Greetings, gentlemen.
It's now official.
Tessa and I are...
Going together.
All right, alex.
Chalk one up there
for the good guys.
Yes!
The official degrassi high
t-shirts are in.
Show your true colors,
purple and blue, by wearing one.
On sale now through
the student council office.
T-shirts are $18
And proceeds support
the boys basketball team.
Hi.
Hi.
Look, I'm really sorry
about the other night.
I'm sorry I got you upset.
No, I'm sorry.
I kind of overreacted.
What did I do?
Nothing.
You didn't do anything.
I'm just kind of shy
of relationships right now.
Friends again?
Friends.
No!
Please stay out of my room.
No.
No, please.
No!
Hi, liz.
You're not allowed in.
Liz-- shh!
Open the door.
You'll wake your mother.
Stay out of my room.
Liz, be quiet.
Let me in.
Stay away.
No, please.
You're not allowed
in my room.
Shh!
Don't wake your mom.
Please...
You don't want your mom
angry at you.
Don't come any closer.
It's okay, liz.
You want this,
don't you, liz?

Attention, could derek wheeler
please come to the office?
What do you want
to talk about?
Us.
Look, it's obvious
you don't like me.
What?! I like you.
Oh, right.
What did I do?
Nothing, that's
the whole point.
I thought
we had fun Friday.
We did.
Didn't we?
Why didn't you kiss me?
I didn't know
if you wanted me to.
Did you want a fax?
That's all
beside the point.
Obviously we don't communicate
So I think we should
call it quits now
Before it gets too messy.
So, uh... See you in class.
What was that assignment
in geography again?
Uh...
Check it out.
Hey, joey,
how's the car?
Where are your
little friends?
Rats desert the sinking ship.
What's the problem?
I don't know,
it won't start.
I can't afford to take it
To the garage anymore.
You know about cars?
My dad fixes up
old cars.
Just be careful you don't
Mess it up
more, all right?
So how's it going?
Great.
I love being hiv-positive.
Sometimes I dream I don't
have it, I'm normal again
Everything's great.
Then I wake up,
I've still got it.
I want to kill myself.
Don't say that.
Why not?
It's going
to happen anyway.
You're the only
person who knows.
I told you
by mistake.
I haven't even
told my parents yet.
You got to tell them.
No way.
My dad would kill me.
You wouldn't have to do it
Yourself.
Aw, man,
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean that.
I say stupid things...
No.
That's okay.
I like it.
It's kind of funny.
Okay, try it now.
Won't have to do it myself.
All right!
That's great.
Thanks a lot.
Listen, want a lift?
Sure.
Hop in.
Mommy.
Emma:
The bucket,
the water.
She really is cute.
Try telling that
to the little boy
She beat
up today.
I swear, she's going to be
in a motorcycle gang
When she grows up.
You know, you're right.
Best friends should
tell each other everything.
I want to tell you
why we moved here.
When I was nine,
my mom had this boyfriend.
They were going
to get married.
Mom worked
evenings
And when we were alone,
he started to look at me funny.
At first he made me
sit on his lap.
And then he made me touch...
Touch it.
And other stuff.
Spike:
Oh, my god.
He said if I told anybody,
they wouldn't believe me
And mom would be angry.
He said I made him
do it, it was
my fault.
You were just a little kid.
Mom found out
finally.
She wasn't mad.
That's why
we moved here.
Whenever a guy
gets too close...
Most times
I can forget.
But sometimes
I have these dreams...
I can see him.
I can see him
coming into my room.
I can feel him.
He's on top of me.
He weighs so much...
I can't move.
I feel so dirty.
You've got to talk
to someone who can help.
I feel so dirty.
I feel so dirty.
Well, well.
Well, well.
Greetings, gentlemen.

Tessa and I are...
Going together.

Hi.
Hi.
Look, I'm really sorry
about the other night.
I'm sorry I got you upset.
No, I'm sorry.
I kind of overreacted.
What did I do?
Nothing.
You didn't do anything.
I'm just kind of shy
of relationships right now.
Friends again?
Friends.
