Friendship History[]
Overview[]
The two met in their freshmen year on the first day, along with Alli Bhandari. That same year, Connor developed a crush on Clare, who was oblivious to it and became jealous of her attraction to new student, K.C. Guthrie. They remain friends but did not interact in Season 9 or 10, however they did have a slight interaction in the last few episodes of Season 11. They have since reunited as friends in Season 12, and remained close until they graduated in Finally (2).
Season 8[]
In Uptown Girl (1), Clare and Connor meet for the first time. They also meet Alli Bhandari.
In Uptown Girl (2), Clare and Connor don't like new student K.C. Guthrie in their class because of his appearance and the fact that he stole Connor's seat. Clare notices that Connor is uncomfortable with K.C. in his seat so she confronts him. Later, they are eating lunch in the cafeteria and Connor is telling Clare about a formula when Alli walks up and asks what they're doing. Connor ignores her and keeps going. Clare tells her that he's explaining fireworks to her. K.C. joins them and challenges Clare to take the mic. She does and sings a hymn until she is booed offstage, as K.C. looks on, uncomfortable. Alli is behind him, laughing. The next day Connor and Clare are in the media room for lunch and Clare, too embarrassed to eat in the cafeteria, gets Connor to stay with her by asking about a formula of his for fireworks. The next day, The Shep tells the gifted class that they can't eat by the computers and singles Clare out for doing so and suggests eating in the cafeteria. After Shep leaves, Alli says it's because the cafeteria has such entertainment, alluding to Clare singing the hymn. The whole class laughs besides K.C. and Connor and Clare runs out, embarrassed. Alli looks a little ashamed but laughs it off. The next day, after K.C. apologized to Clare, Connor and Clare find that people have taken their lunch table, which Clare notices Connor is very fixated on. Clare asks K.C. if they can sit with him and he invites them with a smile. Connor says it's not their table and Clare smiles as he reluctantly sits down. Alli sits next to them too and tells Clare to not sing. Clare promises she will not sing in the cafeteria again.
In Man With Two Hearts, the minor niners are getting their robot ready for competition. As Clare is fixing wires, she turns to look at Connor and says it's the moment of truth. Alli asks K.C. if he wears boxers or briefs for a magazine quiz and at that moment, the robot shoot sparks as Clare puts two wires together. Connor laughs. Alli jokes that Clare's getting all flustered at the mention of undergarments. Clare says she's not the one talking about underwear in Media Immersion. They all decide to prep their robot at Connor's house since Alli complains it's been at Clare's house every other time. As they begin work on the robot, Connor notes that it isn't turning left as it's supposed to. Clare says they'll have to break it open and start from scratch. As K.C. and Connor leave to get snacks, Clare asks for directions to the restroom. Alli follows her and suggests they snoop around in Simpson's room. They find a vibrator under his bed. Spike catches them and, in the midst of panic, Alli stuffs it in Clare's bag. Spike says she knows what it is like to be 14 and curious, though she never sees them take the vibrator. The two girls are curious about the vibrator and decide to bring it to school the next day. Later in class, Connor trips over Clare's bag and the sex toy vibrates in front of the whole class. Mr. Armstrong tells Clare that she knows the rule, no cell phones in class. Clare quietly responds by saying she doesn't have a cell phone. Armstrong pulls the vibrator out, the class laughs, but Alli improvises (stammering over her words) and says it's a robot for their project. Armstrong asks when she thought he was born and Alli says back, "Depends...how old are you?" getting the class to crack up. Clare is still very embarrassed by the topic.
In Lost In Love (1), Connor gets upset when Alli tells him K.C. is sending Clare a rose to ask her to the dance. His reasoning is that he and Clare are better friends. Connor sends Clare a rose as well and they are both given to her in class. She looks flattered when Anya hands her K.C.'s rose but uncomfortable when she receives two. Later, the minor niners work on their robot in the hallway. Something goes wrong with the robot and Clare and Connor go up to it to troubleshoot when Connor suggests the problem is the tread on the claw. K.C. disagrees and says it's the arm and motor. They go back and forth until Clare asks why they're acting like idiots. Alli says it's because she hasn't decided who is taking her to the dance. Clare pauses and says she won't go.
In Lost In Love (2), Clare and the other minor niners are at the robot competition wherein Toby Isaacs is the announcer. As Mr. Simpson asks if they're ready, K.C. smiles and says hi to Clare. She greets him back. Simpson looks between them awkwardly after their exchange and asks Clare if she's with them. Alli says she and Clare need a moment to "discuss strategy" and pulls her aside. She says she thought they weren't letting their hormones get in the way of bot wars. Clare says it's complicated and Alli says she'll simplify. She says "you like K.C., K.C. likes you; go to the dance with him." Clare starts to mention Connor but Alli says he will get over it. Alli walks off and Clare walks up to K.C. Connor uses the robot to ask Clare to go to the dance with him just as they win and the crowd cheers her on. She looks overwhelmed and says okay. Connor cheers and K.C. looks upset. At the dance, Connor forces Clare on the dance floor by asking her if they are supposed to dance. She says yes, theoretically. He smiles and she unhappily agrees to dance. They start slow dancing with their arms stretched far and Bruce the Moose pushes them closer together, telling them that's how to slow dance. Clare immediately excuses herself and leaves the dance room. On her way out, she bumps into K.C., who asks her if she's having fun with Connor. She admits she wanted to go with K.C. Connor catches them dancing in the hallway and is hurt, saying that she is his date and is supposed to dance with him. He runs off and Clare follows, but he's run home. He barges in while Emma and Kelly are kissing and yells that dances suck.
In Causing a Commotion, the minor niners enter the media immersion room and notice Connor has a lamp by his desk. He explains that it helps his eyes. Alli comments that it makes them look like freaks. The Shep enters the room to ask the favor of making his principal of the year video of quotes from students. Alli and K.C. volunteer. As Shep walks across the classroom, he trips on the lamp cord. Shep tells Connor it's a hazard and that he must have a doctor's note if he needs it so bad. Since he doesn't, the Shep tells him to try to be a little more normal. Clare comes to his defense, saying she thinks Connor should keep his lamp because he needs it. Shep says it would be unfair to let one student have one and no others because they can't have preferential treatment. Clare responds that's true unless he's a football player. Some of the class whispers at the comment. Shep gives her detention. She says he can't give her a detention for having a point of view and he says he can because he's the principal. While Alli films Clare for the principal of the year video, Clare says that he said to "be more normal" to Connor. She asks the camera if that's the advice principal of the year should give his students. Alli shuts it off and says the video is supposed to show why Shep does deserve the award. Clare says he doesn't. Alli asks if she's still on about the lamp and Clare says it's not about the lamp; it's about individual differences. Alli asks if she's gonna protest and Clare smiles at the idea. Alli asks again but Derek and Bruce show up and take Alli's camera. She takes it back as K.C. walks up behind Clare and Alli and says to buy their own. They walk away, saying "whatever" and pushing him. This gives Clare the idea to take down Shep as a group. Alli asks if one detention wasn't enough. Later, Clare puts lamps at everyone's desks. Alli tells her she's about to get everyone in trouble. Shep, with Simpson in tow, walks in and asks how the video is going. He looks around and sees the lamps. He gets mad and asks what he said yesterday. Clare says he said he couldn't make an exception for one student. As she says this, Mr. Simpson proudly smiles. Shep looks back at him and his smile fades. Clare says he doesn't have to make an exception now. Shep orders everyone to take the lamps off their desks. No one does anything and Clare says not unless Connor can keep his. Shep says there's no room for negotiation and repeats his demand. No one does it so he gives them all detention. The class, especially K.C. looks upset and Shep says to be sure to thank Miss Edwards. Simpson looks uncomfortable and Alli says "nice one, Saint Clare." Clare's anger towards the Shep grows. Later, in detention with the rest of the gifted class, Connor taps his pencil and annoys everyone, especially Alli. Clare tells Alli that they could involve the school board about Shep. Alli tells her that they need to serve this detention first. Mr. Perino gets a call and leaves the room. After Alli tells Connor to stop tapping and he doesn't, she gets up and tells him to stop. Clare tells her to leave him alone but she takes his pencil. Connor spits on her and this causes Alli to call him a freak and break his pencil, sending him into a rage. He pushes her to the ground and runs away after Perino says he's in trouble. Clare follows him out of the room. Clare waits outside the principal's office and K.C. comes up to her and tells her that Alli is okay, not that she would care. She asks what that is supposed to mean. He says he knows Connor is her friend but she can't defend him pushing Alli. She asks if he's ever had his face pushed into a puddle of mud while people stood around and laughed. K.C. looks away. Clare says he wouldn't understand. Just then, Connor shouts that he isn't apologizing to Alli and runs out of the office. Clare and K.C. overheard Simpson assuring Shep that Connor is a good kid but they need to wait for the test results. Shep is hesitant and says he would still expel him because he's a loose cannon. Clare looks on in shock. Shep says he's sorry but his decision is final. Clare's shock morphs into anger. Clare shows up at the Nelson-Simpson household and tells Connor he can't go home as he packs. He says if he's not in gifted at Degrassi his parents won't let him stay. She says they aren't done fighting because they haven't been to the school board or the media about this. She says he just has to apologize for pushing Alli. He says he took her pencil. Clare looks confused as to why he's fixated on that. He shouts that he's a freak and everyone thinks so. He lists Shep, Alli, K.C., and even Mr. Simpson and says it's why he keeps taking Connor for tests. Clare questions him about that but he doesn't answer, he just keeps packing. Clare notices his suitcase is filled with the same outfit, over and over. She asks why he dresses in one thing. He says she does too, alluding to her Catholic uniform, but she says she has other clothes to wear at home. Connor says she thinks he's a freak now too and starts throwing stuff and yelling at her to get out, she looks concerned and scared and she complies. Alli and K.C. watch a clip of the video they are making for Shep. Holly J. says that she didn't run for student council president, Shep just appointed her. K.C. tells Alli he doesn't think that's a good thing and she says they'll cut around the appointed part. Clare walks in the room, sans Catholic school uniform. Alli looks surprised and says that when Connor gets expelled, Clare gets a new wardrobe. Clare tells her to leave it alone. K.C. asks if she's okay and Clare is only able to say "Connor was just so..." and pauses before Alli offers "weird." Clare continues, says he had a meltdown, and admits there's something wrong with him. Mr. Simpson pulls her aside and says Connor wanted him to tell her he was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome. He expands, saying that he has to learn social rules. Clare asks if there's a cure like medication or something. Simpson responds to the negative, saying that he can live a normal life with counseling but that he's really scared and could use a friend. Clare says she should get started on her assignment and walks off to think about what was just said. After school, Clare visit's the Nelson-Simpson house again where she finds Connor working on the robot. He doesn't respond to her at first until she asks if it's an X-23 model. He smiles and says yes but he replaced the electric motor with a hydraulic system. Clare nods her head and adds encouragingly, "to give it more power, smart." Connor says he didn't think she'd visit before he left. Clare admits she needed some time to digest the news. She encourages him by saying Einstein might have had Aspergers and adds that he used to wear the same outfit every day just like him. Connor smiles and says Mr. Simpson told him he's really smart. Clare says he is and gets up to come closer to him. He adds that Simpson said other people aren't as interested in thing he is so he has to be careful not to bore people with robots and moths. Clare says he doesn't bore her and smiles. Connor asks if she thinks he's a freak and she says no, that he belongs in the gifted program at Degrassi. Clare smiles and Connor considers this. Clare smiles and Connor considers this. Later, Alli, K.C. and Shep watch the last cut of the principal of the year video, with Chantay being the most recent to gush about him. Shep says they've done a great job and says they can finish after they shoot his intro. They begin shooting and he begins to talk about the honor but Clare walks in, telling him he needs to let Connor come back to Degrassi. He dismisses her and Clare starts to say what will happen if he kicks Connor out but Shep interrupts, saying Degrassi would be better off "with one less of you weirdos." Clare repeats it in the form of a question. She asks if they should kick out everyone who isn't a jock. He responds to not tease him. She says angrily that he's a terrible principal. He responds that she's a little bitch. Clare, K.C., and Alli look at him, shocked. Shep says to Alli and K.C. to forget his intro because he'll do it live and he walks out. Alli walks over to Clare and asks if she's trying to get expelled. She responds that if that man runs the school she doesn't care. K.C. touches the camera that has been rolling the whole time and suggests they show the school the real principal of the year. Alli and Clare smile at each other. The ceremony is about to start and Alli, Clare , and K.C. hand a DVD to the stage hand. The Shep starts his speech and directs attention to the screen behind him. It immediately cuts to his conversation with Clare and ends with him calling her a little bitch. As allies like Danny, Sav, and Jane look on in disgust, Clare courageously stands up and asks the crowd if they think he still deserves principal of the year, "someone who thinks Degrassi would be better off without kids who are a little different." K.C. stands with her and says "we don't." Alli stands with them. Jane is the fourth to stand. She looks at Shep and says, hauntingly, "you know why." Students get up and start tearing down Shep's signs yelling, "no more Shep!" Clare walks down the front steps of Degrassi in wonder with K.C. The president of the school board comes up to Clare and says she hears she's responsible for this. Clare says she is and the woman asks her to explain. Clare says it all started with a desk lamp. The next day, Mr. Simpson is seen onscreen as he announces he will be acting principal for the next month as Shep attends a "workshop." K.C. is surprised he's not getting fired. Alli turns and says her dad said it's almost impossible for teacher to get fired, even bad ones. And she heard that the "workshop" is actually sensitivity training. Alli looks as Clare walks up, back in her Catholic uniform and asks if she's really back to that. Clare said she changed for the wrong reasons and K.C. smiles and says she looks nice. Mr. Simpson asks Clare, Alli, and K.C. to come to the M.I. room over DTV. They look worried, but once they are there, they find Connor smiling. Clare exclaims that he's back and Connor shows off his newly safety-proofed desk lamp. Simpson says the school board insisted that Connor come back and that he'd learn about social situations with a counselor. Connor adds like knowing when to apologize and Connor apologizes to Alli about pushing her. She says me too. K.C. asks how it feels to have Aspergers and Connor says he's relieved to know it's not his fault that he's the way he is and that he's not a weirdo or the only one. Clare grabs his arm and says that they're all weird but at least he has an excuse. They smile and look at his lamp.
In Touch of Grey, Clare and Connor are shown playing basketball in gym class with K.C. When Connor tells Reese that K.C. lives in a group home, Reece taunts K.C. in front of Clare, airing his dirty laundry and showing that K.C. has a dark side. Now knowing this, Clare gets concerned when Connor shows up after his and K.C.'s basketball tryouts with a busted lip and thinks K.C. did it but immediately regrets thinking that.
In Danger Zone, Connor listens as Clare and K.C. argue in M.I. He turns and asks if they're up for playing Risk tonight. They both respond "Not if (he's/she's) coming." They get up angrily and Clare goes to talk to Mr. Simpson. Connor asks if Alli is still coming over and she rudely says no because she's planning the perfect outfit for the dance. Connor reminds her it's Thursday and they always play Risk on Thursdays. He asks why Clare and K.C. won't stop fighting and Alli says it's because they're "in like" with each other but ever since Connor told Clare about K.C.'s criminal past it's been awkward. Connor asks what to do and Alli says to fix it. Connor invites Clare to his house under the guise that K.C. won't be coming. Connor offers Clare K.C.'s countries and he will take Alli's. Clare says that's generous of him because K.C. is winning. Connor says that it's okay and they both smile at each other. Connor tells her he's going to get snacks and she makes a face that shows she's pleasantly surprised. He asks why she made the face and she says it's because he's being a really good host and that it's nice. Connor smiles and climbs the steps. Soon, K.C. comes down the steps with cookies in his mouth and on a plate. The door shuts behind him and an annoyed Clare says Connor said he wasn't coming. They both run for the door and call out to Connor. The lock clicks and Connor shouts to stay down there until they fix it. Time passes and in the middle of an argument, Connor comes down with drinks and excitedly asks them if it worked. They look at him, mad, and K.C. walks past him and up the stairs. Clare looks upset with him and he innocently holds a drink out to her. Later, Clare and Connor arrive at the dance. K.C. broods in the back of the room. Clare asks why he's an idiot and Connor repeats what Alli told him. Clare looks shocked and glances at K.C. She thinks for a moment, turns to Connor and says she needs his help. Connor looks at K.C. and smiles at Clare. Connor lures K.C. to the locker room and shuts him inside with a waiting Clare. Clare and K.C. later come out, hold hands, and smile huge smiles at Connor, having patched up their grievances. Connor smiles as he watches them head toward the dance floor.
