When Erica starts dating again, Heather has trouble dealing with it. She feels guilty about supporting her sister's abortion, and is afraid a new romance could lead to another pregnancy.
The Good:
Okay, I like Alexa now. She's developed into a fairly good source of comic relief.
I really like Lucy and the twins.
Re: Wheels - thank you Amy & Allison, even though the two of you are generally annoying, it's about time someone saw something out of the ordinary about how damn tight Wheels' pants have always been - it's downright wrong. "His jeans are so tight, you could read the date on a dime!" While a stale cliche, totally the truth, and not in a good way.
All the sweet, young romance around the dance and in general in this episode is soooooooo cute! Snake & Amy, Allison & Nick, Erica & the grade 11 guy, Allison & Nick, Lucy & Trip, Alexa & Simon...
Go Erica! She totally called out Heather and Wheels making out at their party when Heather told Erica that grade 11 guy would think she's easy for kissing on the first date! And Erica is STILL being nice to her and comforting her after one of her "abortion clinic" nightmares. I have decided that Erica is my favorite twin. And she finally stands up to Heather when they're talking after the dance! Haha, maybe Heather DOES need to talk to Erica's counselor!
I really need to know what the American version of the word "Broomhead" is. LOL!
Amy and Allison demanding each other's clothes back in the bathroom during the dance and getting caught by the girl bully crowd was pretty awesome. I even liked when they realized how silly they were being, as cheesy as that was.
The Bad:
Ugh, the little kids need to go away. Scooter, Bartholomew, Arthur's cousin Dorothy and the little blonde girl, Tessa. Bartholomew couldn't be a bigger dork.
And yes, while I like the twins, Heather needs to step off. She is being such a judgemental bitch! And really, having nightmares about the abortion clinic when wasn't even her abortion? C'mon! And she's thinking more about that the baby would just have been born than Erica, when it would have been Erica's baby! Get over it - Erica's the only one who has the right to be traumatized.
Allison has no right to be mad about Snake asking Amy to the dance!
The Ugly:
The kid who "plays" Bartholomew is one of the worst actors on this show.
The two foot high red belt that Erica strapped around her waist, over the dress she wore to the dance. Heather looks better.
I don't know why people keep complimenting the sweater Amy's wearing, the one that's actually Allison's. Fug.
Holy crap! Heather interrupting Erica and grade 11 guy's kiss to scream that Erica doesn't think about or care about how Heather feels. And Erica is being soooooooooo cool, being so nice to Heather about stuff & trying to talk to her. Heather's being a baby about the whole thing with Erica dating again. Yes, you TOTALLY need to see Erica's counselor, you damn wet blanket, you!
Overall:
Despite the little kid subplot and Heather being really whiny, I really liked this episode. Any episode that has a main storyline involving the twins and/or Lucy is probably going to be one that I at least like. Erica was definitely a standout in this episode. This was also the first episode that made Amy and Allison even remotely likable. They were still somewhat annoying, but they had the most depth that they've displayed since the first time I saw their characters on Degrassi Junior High.
