The kids of DeGrassi Junior High anxiously prepare for graduation as the series enters its third season. In the one-hour opener, Spike (Amanda Stepto) returns to school after having her baby -- and makes a grim point of ignoring Shane (Billy Parrott), the baby's father. In later episodes, Shane's anguish turns to agony resulting in a spectacular suicide attempt. In other events of the season, Wheels (Neil Hope) moves in with his grandparents after his mom and dad are killed by a drunk driver; Arthur (Duncan Waugh) thinks he's set for life when his mom wins a million-dollar lottery; Paul (Michael Blake), new boyfriend of series regular Lucy (Anais Granofsky), falsely tells everyone that he's had sex with her; Snake (Stefan Brogren) finds out that his older brother is gay; Erica (Angela Deiseach) ducks out of a date by asking her twin sister Heather (Maureen Deiseach) to fill in for her; and Michelle (Maureen McKay) incurs her parents' wrath when she starts dating her black classmate BLT (Dayo Ade). As expected, the season ends with a dance in honor of the student's graduation -- but what is not expected is the disaster that befalls DeGrassi Junior High before the night is over! ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
