Summary[]
As life begins to return to normal at Degrassi, several students, particularly Joanne, Snake, and Caitlin, still have some lasting trauma about Claude's suicide.
Extended Overview[]
Degrassi students debate on whether or not to proceed with Talent Night. While there is debate over the issue, with Joanne arguing that Talent Night should be cancelled and storms out of the meeting. While Lucy argues that it should go on, Spike comes up with the idea to go ahead with the talent show, but donate the proceeds to Claude's family or to a charity of their choice, which most students seem to agree to.
Snake, after some therapy, begins to recover from the trauma of discovering Claude's dead body, but he still needs time before he's ready to return to school as the memory of it still haunts him even though he hardly knew Claude.
Joey still desperately needs help with science and Mr. Webster has set him up with a tutor - Caitlin. It's during this class that Caitlin hallucinates Claude, who she is angry with for his suicide. Joey's apprehensive enough, considering his history with her, but when he gets to her house, he finds that she's also still suffering from the trauma of Claude's suicide, and has had nightmares about him. Joey comforts Caitlin and reassures her Claude's suicide was not her fault, and that Claude couldn't have truly loved her if he was willing to kill himself to make her feel guilty.
Wheels makes amends with Joey for his previous theft, returning the money he stole, and expresses interest in speaking with Snake. Later he takes Snake's place in Joey's act for the talent show, for which the proceeds will go to a program to provide support to suicidal teens.
