The relationship between Paige Michalchuk and Dylan Michalchuk was introduced in the Season 3 episode Pride (1). Dylan and Paige's relationship became more prominently featured on the series, as Marco Del Rossi, one of Paige's best friends, pursued his first homosexual relationship with the out-and-proud senior. Because their relationship was often tumultuous, Paige usually acted as a mediator between the two.
