Plot

The pressure at Degrassi reaches an insane level as end-of-year exams loom over the students. Mia folds under the stress and plans to drop out of school to devote her time to modeling. Holly J is upset when she receives a less-than-perfect grade on an art project and must push herself to create something more expressive. Sav struggles with whether to sign up for engineering classes or music classes for his next year at Degrassi.—skillwithaquill

Students start to stress as they begin to look more into their future. Mia struggles to balance her job and her school work making her fall behind. Sav once again must chose between what he wants and what his parents want. Holly J is furious when her art project doesn't get the grade she expected.

It's time for every student to confront the dean and publicly announce their choice of major subjects. Sav is tempted to study music, as his teacher urges, but is reluctant to give up the safe engineer career that his dad insists upon. In one case the frustration is high enough to consider dropping out of school altogether.—KGF Vissers

Stress is at an all time high at Degrassi with exams approaching and course selections due for next term. But Mia's failing English and will have to re-do it unless she can ace her final assignment - a public speech on where she sees herself in 5 years. One problem - the speech is due tomorrow and Mia has a photo shoot tonight. Struggling with a foot in two worlds, Mia bombs her speech. Unwilling to give up the benefits of modeling money, Mia chooses to drop out of school to model full time. Will Mia remain confident with her decision despite everyone's protests? Besides, this is her modeling prime, right? It's Holly J. vs. Ms. Dawes and paint is bound to splatter. When Holly J. gets a C on an art assignment, she refuses to accept it and uses grades as motivation for art. Will Holly J be able to raise her grade in her "textbook" way? Or will she have to learn a little something called - expression? Sav struggles between choosing to register for prerequisites for Engineering, or the music master class. Will he be able to challenge his "50 year plan" in order to pursue what he truly loves?
