Sub Plot
Clare has reclaimed her 'good Samaritan' role and meets Fitz at his locker. Fitz presents her with a corsage, which he claims him mom made him bring. Although Clare seems pleased by the gesture- she says she still won't sleep with him. Fitz claims that wasn't his intention at all- he would never do that, unless she wanted him to, which Clare responds with "not a chance." The conversation quickly turns into the feud Fitz and Eli are having. Clare ask if an apology will still work, which Fitz agrees too, but doubts he'll get one. Clare, however is determined, and leaves to find Eli.
Clare finds Eli, who is pissed that Clare had come with Fitz. Clare explains to him that she did it to protect him, while Eli believed he could take care of himself. Clare tells Eli that Fitz will drop the feud- if Eli apologizes. Eli believes that he had nothing to apologize for, however Clare tells him to apologize for anything he wants, and leaves to get Fitz. Eli seems to have something hidden up the sleeve of his red blazer.
Clare and Fitz meet Eli by the punch bowl. Clare urges Eli to apologize, which he does- poorly. Fitz points this out, but Clare isn't taking no for an answer. Eli suggests they drink to their new found peace. Eli hands Fitz a cup, and right before they drink, Clare quickly suggests they drink cups, thinking that Eli poisoned Fitz's cup with Ipecac. So, they switch drinks, which Eli counted on, because moments later, Fitz is throwing up. Eli grins, while Clare turns on him. Eli claims its all on her, because she made them switch cups, while Clare storms away, telling Eli "whatever Fitz does to you, you deserve it!"
Eli is nearly stabbed by Fitz.
Clare goes to see if Fitz is alright. She apologizes for Eli's behavior, mentioning how he tries to come off as a badass and she fell for him. Fitz, who most likely believes Clare was in on Eli's prank- says that makes her a regular ass. Care then seems awkward talking with him, especially when he pulls a pocket knife out of his locker. Clare tries to keep her cool and goes back into the dance, away from Fitz.
Clare finds Adam at the dance when she can't find Eli. Adam says Eli went looking for her and Clare informs him that Fitz has a knife. Adam leaves to tell Simpson, while Clare goes to find Eli before Fitz does.
Eli is listening to his iPod against some lockers when Clare finds him. Clare urges him to leave because Fitz has a knife. Eli doesn't really respond until he claims "I won't let that jerk scare me." Fitz then enters down the hallway, seeing Eli and Clare, calling to them "Aw, don't you two look cute". Clare tries to get Fitz to leave, but fails, as he yells for her to shut up. Eli pushes Clare away from him, as Fitz advances. Eli apologizes for real this time. Fitz rejects his apology, claiming Eli has had this coming. Fitz thrusts the knife forward but it then shows that he only stabbed the door. Clare rushes towards Eli, while Fitz looms over them, making a crude comment. The cops then come and arrest Fitz.
When out of Degrassi, Eli tells Clare about how he was bullied when he was 9, showing the motive for keeping the feud with Fitz for so long. Clare comments he isn't 9 anymore, but Eli retaliates that the bullies aren't either, so what is he supposed to do? Clare tells Eli she doesn't have the answer for him as she looks at the scene of Fitz being led into a police car. She tells him if he continues to deal with bullies like this, then she can't be with him.
Simpson finds them, where Clare confesses to letting off the stink bomb, and Eli cuts in that he lied when he told Simpson to question Fitz. Simpson tells them there will be consequences. Holly J. and Sav come out, and Simpson finally seems to reach his boiling point. He leaves them with the line "when you all get back from break, you won't recognize this school at all".
