First, the Eli/Clare/Drew situation. Clare is pregnant and has just found out that the baby is Eli's (she originally thought that it was Drew's. Now that Eli knows this, he wants to be back in Clare's life to help with the baby. Purely on platonic levels of coarse. I predict that the next block of episodes, the pair will figure out that it is impossible for them to be just friends. They will probably try their luck with dating again. Which will probably fail miserably just like the two previous times.
The mid season finale brought an close to the cheerleading drama. It is officially out of the bag that Zoe is the one behind Degrassi Nudes (the cheerleading squads very illegal way of fundraising). However, she tried to pin the whole thing on Frankie. As revenge, Frankie and Winston trapped Zoe in a room and tried to scare her with costumes and disguised voices. The drama between Zoe and Frankie will definitely continue next block. It is highly unlikely that the two will ever completely make up.
The biggest thing that happened in the finale was Miles burning down the school. Okay, maybe he didn't completely burn it down, but he definitely displayed some pyrotechnics. Miles lit one of his fathers campaign posters on fire to demonstrate his hatred for his abusive father. However, this backfired when the fire wouldn't go out and spread throughout the hallway. Thankfully, everyone was able to make it out of the school safely. The episode ended with all three of the Hollingsworth siblings taking a stand against their father and walking off into the sunset (or to The Dot to get some food).
Overall, this season had it's ups and downs. I was not a fan of the Degrassi nudes story line or the Imogen/Jaque polygamy struggle. Also, I think that the entire premise of Clare's pregnancy is completely out of character, and basically just a tool to keep Eli in the picture. However, I did enjoy the arc about Miles abuse, because Degrassi hasn't tackled parental abuse since Craig back in the original generation. I also liked the continuation with Maya's struggles with protecting her friends in the aftermath of Cam's suicide.
