1/2. Can't Live With 'Em
Degrassi Junior High kicks off Term 3 with a one-hour special. We meet all the old gang again - Joey is stuck in Grade 8, Arthur's mother has won a lottery, the Grade Nines are finding out about high school, if only part time, and strange little kids have arrived, including Arthur's cousin. Wheels is having a tough time with his parents, but not nearly as tough a time as he's about to have without them, after they are killed by a drunk driver. Spike, no longer pregnant, has new problems to deal with.

3. A Big Girl Now
Lucy is in love - something - anyway, she's got a boyfriend, and he's in Grade Eleven, and his friend Clutch has a car! Sure, it means she doesn't have quite as much time as she used to for her pal L.D., and Paul does have expectations of her that she's not too sure about, but she can handle it all, she's a big girl now. Snake is having trouble dealing with Wheels since his parents were killed, and Kathleen's so obnoxious about her candidacy for president, that Melanie is just going to have to do something.

4. Seasons Greetings
It just doesn't feel like Christmas. For one thing, it's boiling in the cafeteria as the school's furnace goes crazy. And long-time friends Yick and Arthur find themselves in the middle of a fight. Dorothy does her best to patch it up - "It's Christmas!" - but it's only when the two boys start remembering what they've been through together, through flashbacks from episodes from Term 1 and Term 2, that there looks to be any hope. Spike has an unexpected visitor from school.

5. Loves Me, Loves Me Not
Caitlin knows he's not her type, but she can't help being attracted to Joey. And Joey figures he can use all the help he can get to get through Grade 8 this time. So when the two are paired up to review a movie together for English class, they both figure it's a perfect match-up. Alexa tries to give Michelle some help getting to know B.L.T. - with unexpected results. And Dorothy, Arthur's really irritating cousin had developed a crush on Yick.

6. He Ain't Heavy
When Snake's fabulous big brother Glen comes home unexpectedly from med school, Snake is thrilled. But Glenn has come home to tell the family that he's gay, and Snake isn't sure he can handle it, especially as AIDS discussions in class add fear to the emotions he feels. Joey continues his quest for fame and fortune in the music business, and lands a job at CRAZ Radio - emptying wastebaskets.

7. The Whole Truth
As newspaper editor this year, Caitlin is keen to get some articles into the Digest with some real substance, and when Liz brings up the issue of animal rights, Caitlin leaps in with both feet, and makes the issue her own cause. Scooter and Bartholomew order dehydrated sea creatures from the back of a comic book, but they don't really look like the ones on the package. In fact, they look kind of like sawdust. Joey's job at CRAZ is not all he hoped it would be.

8. Star-Crossed
Erica likes Clutch (even Lucy has to agree he's cute), but he invites her twin sister Heather to the bowling tournament. No problem, that's the joy of being twins - they'll just switch. He probably can't tell them apart anyway. The only trouble is, Erica has a dentist appointment, so they'll have to make the switch in the middle of the date. Things are not working out well between Alexa and B.L.T., and she's decided she wants Simon back.

9. Food for Thought
Kathleen and Melanie, despite their falling out, are forced to work together on their Science Fair project, and Melanie figures she's going to kill Kathleen before it's over, because Kathleen is so irritable. Of course, it's because she never eats anything. Erica and Heather are working on a project on eating disorders, and begin to worry about Spike.

10. Twenty Bucks
Melanie's fondest wish comes true when Snake invites her to the Gourmet Scum concert, dutch. The only problem is, where will she get the money? Her mom won't give it to her - not voluntarily, anyway. Joey makes a bet that he can get a date for Friday night, but finds it a little harder to mange than he thought it would be - and Caitlin is not thrilled when she finds out she wasn't his first choice. The tension gets worse between Shane and Spike.

11/12. Taking Off
In a new two-part episode, airing on consecutive weeks, Wheels is still having problems dealing with his parents' death. Things aren't going well at home, where his grandmother is talking about putting him in a group home. And when a postcard arrives from Wheels' birthfather in Port Hope, he figures anywhere is better than here -even if it does mean hitchhiking. Shane is looking forward to the upcoming Gourmet Scum concert. It's going to be an extra special concert, too, because Luke knows where they can score some acid.

13. Making Whoopee
Arthur enjoys the bachelor life with his dad, so when dad's girlfriend seems to be around all the time, he's not pleased. But it only gets worse - she comes to Open House, and she's not his mother. Melanie notices that Snake has another admirer: that pretty Alison. She could try to keep tabs on him by joining the Open House committee, but the only trouble is, Kathleen's on the committee too.

14. Black and White
Michelle and B.L.T. have been getting along so great, and he's even invited her to the graduation dance. Everything's fine until he walks her home one evening, and suddenly her parents aren't so happy about her date. It couldn't possibly be because he's black and she's white, could it? Spike's daycare falls through, and she's has to try to find a job - not an easy task when you wear your hair like she does.

15. Pa-arty!
Lucy's parents are away again, and that can mean only one thing - party at Lucy's! This one's going to be a blast, with some of the high school kids coming, and Lucy's parents are supposed to be gone all weekend - barring disaster, of course. Joey is feeling lousy, because Caitlin won't come to the party with him. He figures to impress these high school kids and liven up the party, he'll be the supplier of the beer. The police, however, have other plans for Joey's evening.

16. Bye-Bye Junior High
It's the end of an era at Degrassi - the Grade Nines are going on to high school full time next year, and the Grade Eights will finally be kings of the school. Wheels can't see any way he'll pass this year, and Spike has some tough choices to make. It's going to be the graduation dance to end all graduation dances, but, you know, they never got that old boiler working quite right, and Scooter thinks he smells smoke….
