Friendship history[]
Overview[]
Imogen and Adam became friends during the eleventh season of Degrassi. It is assumed that they became friends through their mutual friends, Eli Goldsworthy and Fiona Coyne while working on Eli's play. They became closer while practicing and performing in the same band, WhisperHug. In Season 13, the two became even closer while working as camp counselors at Degrassi's summer camp for young children, much to the dismay of Adam's girlfriend, Becky Baker. Becky requested that the two stay away from each other, however they were paired as group leaders and were not allowed to switch. They decided to maintain a "secret friendship" in order to both work together and keep Becky happy. When Becky broke up with Adam, he was talked into pursuing Imogen by Drew Torres, and Mike Dallas who claimed Imogen was into him. The two went for a nature hike and ended up hooking-up in a camp van. Nothing ever came of their interaction in the van, as Adam crashed it later that night, and eventually died from his injuries not long after.
Season 11[]
In Dirt Off Your Shoulder (1), Adam flies solo on-air for Degrassi Radio as Dave Turner is out sick. He calls Imogen a "psycho" after she states that Eli punched her and is seen wearing tampons up her nose. In truth, she threw herself on the ground to cover up Eli’s destruction of a computer. In this episode, Adam is first seen talking to Eli before school starts, and following him when he talks to Clare.
In Dirt Off Your Shoulder (2), Eli tries asking Adam to help him. He tells him his anti-anxiety pills are killing his creativity and that he needs Adam to hold his pills just until he finishes writing the play for his drama class. Adam refuses and he tells Eli to ask his doctor for different pills. Eli gets upset and shouts, but Adam doesn't want to get in the way of Eli's therapy so he dismisses him. Adam moves away to start his broadcast on Degrassi Radio and sees that Imogen, the girl he called "Psycho" the previous day, took Eli's pills instead.
In Need You Now (1), Eli, who is in a somewhat messy relationship with Imogen, convinces Adam to go on an "adventure" with him to help discover Imogen's whereabouts. Adam reluctantly agrees to tag along.
In Need You Now (2), while still trying to help Eli with his relationship issues, Adam finds himself breaking into Fiona's condo in search of Imogen. The situation becomes even more awkward when the two boys are standing face to face with a puzzled Fiona and frightened Imogen. Eli starts shouting, sure that Imogen has been cheating on him, and quickly leaves when he understands no one is on his side in the case. Adam is left awkwardly standing in Fiona's living room.

Season 13[]
In Summertime, Adam is upset that Becky will be spending her summer away in Florida surrounded by hot guys. Imogen talks to Adam and says that she is also bummed because of her break up with Fiona. The two make a pact to become camp besties.
Adam, Becky, and Imogen are at the Fefe Dobson concert. Imogen asks Becky what it's going to be like having her old girlfriends with her while she is being a life guard in Florida and Becky says it's mostly guys. Imogen suddenly claims that she sprained her ankle and asks Adam to get her ice. While he is gone, Becky says that she will probably be surrounded by hot guys all summer too. She says sure but Adam is the only one who isn't revolting. Becky then gets suspicious and asks if Imogen is still into girls and she says that she is open minded just like Becky is. Becky then says that she better open her mind to the fact that Adam has a girlfriend. Then Adam comes back with Imogen's ice and Becky starts to make out with him. Becky asks Adam to go to a private area and while Becky is pulling him away, he turns around and thanks Imogen for whatever she said to Becky since he gets to make out with her.
In All I Wanna Do, Clare is saddened that she had to shave her head and Adam calls Imogen for a solution to the problem. Imogen then comes to the hospital and she and Adam help Clare try wigs on and try to make her feel good about herself.
In My Own Worst Enemy, they are both seen at Sports Day at the day camp and are both very happy to see that Clare is out of the hospital.
In About a Girl, Adam realizes that Colton is missing and asks Imogen if she's seen him. She's shocked that Adam lost him. Later, Imogen walks into the resource center and finds Adam on FaceRange looking at Becky's page which is full of pictures of her and Todd. Adam says that he wishes he could delete the photos, in which Imogen asks if he knows her password. Adam then logs in to Becky's page and chats with Todd appear. Adam searches his name in their chats, but no results come up. Drew comes in and tells Adam that he still has a job, but that he's on probation. Drew leaves and Adam cryptically says that he's "gonna send this Todd a message". Adam, Imogen, Drew, and Dallas are in the gym. Drew and Dallas are hula hooping, while Adam is on his laptop, and Imogen is sitting next to him. Adam has decided that he is going to impersonate Becky on her FaceRange and tell Todd that she's not interested. Imogen disagrees with the plan. Adam receives a text from Becky and he's excited about it, but Imogen isn't amused.
In Cannonball, Adam takes Dallas’ advice and tries juggling Becky and Imogen at once. But he’s not that kind of guy. Adam tries to make up with Becky and, taking some advice from Drew, sends her 'apology roses'. He receives a package back from her and is excited. However, he is disappointed to open the box and to find the roses he had sent to her are now destroyed. Drew and Dallas urge him to get over Becky, saying it's likely she is over him and moving on in her life. Dallas, offering advice, suggests he hook up with Imogen to get over her. Adam insists, "I don't want to get over Becky. I love her." However, Dallas insists she is over him and urges him to do the same. Imogen smiles and waves at him and Adam plasters on a smile and waves back, contemplating his choices. Taking Dallas up on his advice, Adam tries to develop a chemistry with Imogen as a distraction from his constant thoughts surrounding Becky. This includes giving her flowers and complimenting her on her looks. Soon he is shortly distracted when the two take cover from the rain in the back of a van. With sudden sexual tension when Imogen takes her shirt off to change, Adam kisses her and the two begin to make out.
The moment is killed when Drew walks in on the two and awkwardly takes chocolate, marshmallows and Graham crackers for s'mores for the campers. As he closes the door, he mutters, "Definitely over Becky". Suddenly struck with realization that the hook up did nothing to help him get over Becky, Adam stares as Imogen leaves the car to attend her camp counselor duties. Adam passes by Drew and says he's just going to turn in. Drew says he is going to miss the campfire sing along, but Adam complains that he feels like he's going to puke. Drew thinks he just ate some of Dallas' food, known to be bad, but Adam brings up it is about his kiss with Imogen. Drew asks what the problem is since they were both consenting adults who are single. Adam tells him Dallas told him that hooking up with Imogen was supposed to help him forget about Becky, but now all he can do is think about her. Drew says that since they were together for a while, it is going to be a longer process to get over her. Adam again firmly declares that he doesn't want to get over her.
In Honey, Imogen becomes worried about Adam being cut open when Drew tells her that he's going into surgery.
In Young Forever, Imogen attends Adam's memorial and seems to get emotional while watching the video. While trying to cheer up Drew - and failing, she realizes she isn't good with "things like this" and gets teary eyed and depressed.
