The relationship between J.T. Yorke and Mia Jones is known as JTia (J.T./Mia). It began in the sixth season of Degrassi: The Next Generation.
Relationship History[]
Overview[]
J.T. and Mia began dating in the episode Eyes Without a Face (1), and their relationship started off pleasant, even though it initially seemed as if Mia might be a rebound after his break-up with long-term girlfriend, Liberty Van Zandt. J.T., was also very good with Mia's daughter Isabella, which angered Liberty, who told Mia about their child, and J.T. selling drugs out of spite. Mia became furious with J.T., and nearly broke up with him as she felt she could not trust him. The two stayed together until J.T.'s death in Rock This Town, when he was stabbed by Drake Lempkey.
Season 6[]
In Eyes Without a Face (1), trying to move on from Liberty, J.T. finds himself attracted to the new girl, Mia. He's excited to get his job as a kids' TV host back, and invites her and her two-year-old daughter, Isabella, to the taping. He is initially turned off by the fact that she has a child, but they start dating in this episode.
In What's It Feel Like to Be a Ghost? (1), J.T. and Mia couldn't be happier as Degrassi's newest couple. Everyone's happy for them, except, of course, Liberty. She decides Mia's got to know the truth about J.T.'s past: the suicide attempt, child, and all. Mia is mad at J.T. for keeping these things from her, but when he apologizes, she forgives him.
In Rock This Town, Mia is out of town the day Liberty has her birthday party. At the party, J.T. is alarmed when Liberty tells him she still has feelings for him. They get into an argument when J.T. tells Liberty that he does love Mia, though unsure of how to address Liberty‘s feelings at the moment, she then storms out the front door. J.T., confused by all of this, then asks Toby for his advice on who he should be with. He mentions that he is happy in his relationship with Mia, and really likes her. Though, he is conflicted, when J.T. mentions he does miss Liberty, from time to time. Toby then asks him if he loves both, who is the one he knows that’ll be there for him no matter what. He decides that person would be Liberty, based on their history. J.T. is then eager to find Liberty outside to reconcile. However, on his way to see her, he is stabbed in the back while unlocking his car, and dies because of a punctured aorta.
Mentions[]
In The Bitterest Pill, Mia, Toby, and Liberty go to J.T.'s locker and then Mia starts to grab everything and puts them in her bag. Liberty and Toby ask Mia why she was grabbing everything. Mia then tells Liberty that she doesn't care about J.T., that she didn't even shed a tear at his funeral, and she told her what J.T. called her behind her back. Liberty walks away mad. Then Toby grabs everything from Mia's bag and places it back into the locker. At the memorial, Mia asks Toby to play the video she wanted to play but then Toby tells Mia that J.T. still had feelings for Liberty and was going to tell her when he got stabbed. Liberty overhears and allows Mia to play the video. At J.T.'s memorial, Liberty finally breaks down and cries. At the end of the episode Mia, Liberty, and Toby clean out J.T.'s locker together.
In It's Tricky, Mia was shown to have feelings for Sav, but she still wasn't completely over J.T.
