This is probably the most contentious episode we've ever recorded!
Marco comes out to his mother and runs for Student Council President, but he could lose more than just the presidency when his opponent, Alex, threatens to reveal his secret to his homophobic father.

Angered by the outcome, she seeks destructive revenge against him which could also affect Spinner. Meanwhile, Craig celebrates his birthday, receives $10,000 from his father's will, and spends it on an extravagant guitar, much to Joey's disapproval.
and last week:
It's the end-of-the-year dance at Degrassi, and Jimmy wants it to be perfect for his date and their friends, but one misfortune after another plagues the evening. Meanwhile, feeling guilty for stealing Snake's laptop, Sean decides to come clean to him, but he soon realizes that getting Mr. Simpson's forgiveness is not going to be easy. Also, Joey asks Caitlin to move in with him, but she is soon offered a job in Los Angeles.
