Scene 1: Mason's House. Morning

Jack runs down the stairs into the kitchen where Emma is trying to rock a crying Gavin. Spinner is trying to make breakfast, but things are chaotic. He attempts to grab a frying pan, but it burns his hands. He yells, and Gavin begins crying again.

Jack: I think I'm just going to grab something from the Dot.

Emma looks tired and stressed. She hands the baby over to Spinner, and she finishes the cooking while Spinner walks up the stairs.

Emma: Today is supposed to be my first day back at Degrassi, and I look a mess. Gavin does nothing but cry. I'm so tired.

Spinner walks back into the kitchen. He kisses Emma on the cheek.

Spinner: How about you get ready for work, and I'll take care of Gavin today. I can just have Caleb, or someone takes an extra shift.

Emma: You need to go to work. We need every penny we can get.

Jack: I was thinking about trying out for the basketball team.

Emma brushes her hair into a ponytail. She looks at Jack with surprise.

Emma: You sure you want to do that. I thought you didn't like sports.

Jack: I don't, but I want this year to be different from last. I want to be more social.

Spinner: I think it's a good idea. I was on the basketball team back in high school and look how I turned out.

Jack: I have to get to school. I see you guys later.

Jack grabs his belonging and proceeds to walk out of the house. Emma looks at her watch and walks into the room.

OPENING CREDITS

Scene 2: Degrassi Community School (Hallways). Morning

Jack and Jordan are walking down the halls. They reach their lockers.

Jack: I think I'm going to the basketball tryouts. I believe that it would be a good way to make new friends and I can stay away from the house.

Jordan: Gavin's still crying lately.

Jack: Yeah, but Emma has been out of it since he's been born. She looks like a zombie.

Jack closes his locker. They continue to move down the halls.

Alicia is walking through the halls with her books in hands. She notices Ivy and Levi talking by their lockers. Levi smiles and walks away. Ivy looks at Alicia then proceeds to steps away. Alicia follows behind quietly with a smile on her face.

Ivy: Listen, Niner, I don't need you following me around. It's hard enough trying to get out of someone shadow I don't need another one underneath mines.

Alicia: I heard you were close to becoming student body president. No Grade 9 has been that close in Degrassi history. That was one of the reasons I wanted to attend Degrassi to be like Ivy Armstrong.

Ivy starts to smile then hands Alicia her book bag. Alicia takes it and continues to follow her down the hall.

Scene 3: Mason's House. Afternoon

Spinner walks into the house to hear Gavin crying. He looks around to see Emma sitting on the couch in another world not paying attention to anything. Spinner walks into the room and picks up Gavin trying to calm him down.

Spinner: EMMA!

Emma is still zoned out. Spinner gets Gavin to stop crying and places him back into the playpen. Spinner walks over to Emma.

Spinner: What's going on with you Em?

Emma: I thought I could do this Spinner, but every time I look at him I become depressed. I feel overwhelmed. I can't concentrate or eat. I don't feel like myself anymore Spin.

Spinner takes a seat next to Emma and consoles her.

Spinner: We will figure this out, Emma. I promise we will get you some help.

Spinner kisses her forehead. He has this look of worry on his face. Tears roll down Emma's face as she glimpses over to Gavin.

Scene 4: Degrassi Cafeteria. Afternoon

Ivy walks into the cafeteria. She scouts around the room and makes her way towards her friends. She takes a seat at the table with Dev, Levi, Lewis, and Adrian.

Lewis: I heard you got some Niner following you around.

Ivy: I know right. She is like a lost puppy. Every time I send her away, she scampers back.

Everyone begins to laugh beside Levi. She nudges at Dev, which causes him to stop laughing.

Levi: That's a little harsh Ivy. We were just like her last year.

Dev: I'm sure she is just joking sweetie. Isn't that right Ivy?

Ivy: It's just a joke, Lev. You don't have to be such a downer.

Levi rolls her eyes and leaves from the table. Dev watches her walk away. Ivy ignores her and continues to eat her lunch.

Alicia appears with a lunch box with a cartoon on the front of it. She looks around the café and makes her way towards Ivy.

Lewis: Well here comes your puppy.

Alicia approaches the table.

Alicia: Hey Ivy.

Ivy: Aren't you a little too old for cartoons.

Lewis chuckles. Alicia becomes uncomfortable.

Ivy: We don't want any grade 9 losers at our table. Try again next year Hun.

Alicia smiles trying to hide the fact she is hurt. She quickly exits out the cafeteria throwing away her lunchbox as she leaves. Ivy sees this and turns back around to the others.

Scene 5: Degrassi Gymnasium. Afternoon

Jack and other guys are running basketball drills inside the gym. Jordan and Harvey walk into the gym together laughing. Jack pauses to notice how friendly the two are with each other.

Harvey: I have to get ready for practice.

Jordan: All right. I probably should be getting home anyway. See you tomorrow?

Harvey: Yeah of course.

Harvey walks away as Jack approaches Jordan

Jack: I see that you and Harvey are getting closer.

Jordan: It is nice to have someone to talk to other things about instead of your problems! All you ever do is tell me about your horrible life. It is always about Jack and his drama.

Jack: If that how you feel then maybe Harvey should be your best friend.

Jordan becomes confused. Jack walks away and returns to the basketball court to do his drills. Jordan looks over to Harvey who is walking out of the locker room. Harvey waves at him, but Jordan looks over to Jack then proceed to exit out of the gym.

Scene 6: The Dot. Afternoon

Caleb is running around the Dot trying to clean tables, take orders and make drinks. London walks into the Dot and looks around with disgust as she makes her way to the counter. You could instantly tell London had a great sense of fashion and came from wealth by what she was wearing.

London: I would like to make an order.

Caleb continues to ignore her. He moves from behind the counter and breakdown one of the tables. London becomes agitated.

London: Did you not hear me? I like to make an order?

Caleb: Sorry that I can't take your order princess, but as you can see I'm busy. So either wait or leave.

Caleb looks up and finally sees London. There is an instant spark between the two. London flips her hair and walks out the dot. Before she leaves, she looks over at Caleb and smiles.

Ivy enters the Dot. She takes a seat at the booth with Alicia who is sitting by herself.

Alicia: You already embarrassed me once today. I don't think I can handle anymore embarrassment.

Ivy: I just wanted to apologize. I should have never embarrassed you like that. Last year, grade 9 was an embarrassing time for me, so I guess I wanted someone to feel that as well.

Alicia: I respected you, Ivy. I heard you were the nicest Armstrong sister, but I see you are just like your sister. You are a mean girl, and for all, I care you can go to hell.

Alicia grabs her things and walks away.

Scene 7: Doctors Office. Afternoon

The doctor walks into her office where Emma and Spinner are sitting. Emma has a somber look on her face.

Doctor: Thank you for coming in today. I want to let you know that you are not alone in this. These feelings can appear any time during the first few months to one year after the birth. Can you tell me a little about how you feel Mrs. Mason?

Emma: Sometimes I feel like running away. Sometimes I feel like I'm a bad mother.

Doctor: How does this make you feel Mr. Mason?

Spinner: I still love her. I will always love her, but something is wrong with her, and I don't know how to help her.

Spinner looks over at Emma. Emma reaches for his hand and locks it with hers as tears begin to fall her face.
