Main Plot
Jenna must deal with her biggest fear: being a teen mother. With her parents out of the picture, and only her brother to rely on, she seeks comfort in K.C., only to find out that he expects an abortion. After finding out she is already 20 weeks along and that it is unsafe to abort, K.C. wants nothing to do with the baby. He says he "doesn't need this," ending their relationship and leaving Jenna alone and pregnant.
Sub Plot
Although Connor gets his computer privileges suspended, he contacts the woman he has been chatting with online, and she meets him after school. In her car, she gets too personal with him, rubbing his leg, and he manages to leave.
Third Plot
Riley wants to meet a potential boyfriend outside of Degrassi. Whilst hanging out at the hospital with Anya while she waits for her mother's chemotherapy to finish, he develops an interest in Anya's doctor. Assuming that the doctor is gay, Riley develops a crush on him. However, Anya tells him that Doctor Chris is hers and that he is straight. The two fight over the doctor's sexuality, and they both plan to find out by fake-interviewing Doctor Chris, giving him the impression that Anya is in college. They discover that he is indeed straight. While doing homework at school with Riley, Anya calls Zane over and tells him Riley needs help with his schoolwork. With Anya's help, Riley and Zane start talking to one another again.
