Degrassi: The New Era

Season Three

Episode 5

"Sure Fire Winner"

Scene 1: Degrassi Community School (Lobby). Morning

Emma is standing at a podium in front of the entire school. She has a smile on her face as she leans into the microphone and begins to speak.

Emma: Good Morning Degrassi. The time has come for another student council elections. Ballots must be submitted Friday by 3:15 pm. Have a great day!

Students begin to disperse as the bell rings. Ivy and Levi begin to walk down the hall.

Levi: Are you going to try running for student body president again this year?

Belle runs up to the two girls with a smile on her face.

Belle: You should. I'll definitely vote for you. I'm sure the cheerleaders would too.

Belle walks off. Levi rolls her eyes and continues to walk with Ivy.

Ivy: I've put some thought into it. I heard that I might actually have a chance to win.

Levi: Since when did you ever care about being popular?

Ivy: I don't care, but at the same time it feels good to have people talk to me and having other friends beside you. I think Adrian has even noticed me more.

Levi: I hope you don't become the second coming of Chloe.

Ivy: I am nothing like my sister. When did you become so dark?

Levi: When did you become so self-absorb?

Levi storms off.

OPENING CREDITS

Scene 2: Degrassi Community School (Hallways). Morning

Dev and Adrian are walking through the halls placing campaign flyers on the wall. Adrian walks over to Dev as they stare at the poster that says "Dev for Prez," along with a picture of him.

Adrian: Have you and Levi talked since the whole baby thing?

Dev: Things has been a little weird between us, but I think we're okay. Just want to focus on something else.

Adrian and Dev begin to walk again posting more posters.

Dev: The last two years I've needed some normalcy. I'm guessing you and Kristin still haven't made up either.

Adrian: No, but it is our last year. Soon we will be at University. We can forget about all the high school drama.

Dev smiles as they continue to put up posters.

Scene 3: Degrassi Community School (Cafeteria). Morning

Maxwell is sitting at the table with his laptop. He is observing the screen with intensity as he waits for his opponent move. The screen reads "LOSER." Caleb walks over to see that Maxwell is playing poker.

Caleb: Are you gambling at school?

Maxwell rises up from his seat and closes his laptop. He begins to storm off, but Caleb follows behind.

Caleb: If you are caught you could end up suspended or even expelled.

Maxwell: This does not concern you, Caleb. Last time I checked you and London are broken up, so leave me alone.

Caleb: I'm trying to look out for you man. If you mess up this term, you might end up not graduating on time. Trust me it's not a good feeling.

Maxwell: Thanks, but I have everything under control and I don't need you looking out for me.

Maxwell continues to walk away leaving Caleb there to wonder. Jack is sitting at a table with Jordan working on a class assignment. Jordan looks up to see Jack staring blankly into space.

Jordan: Jack?

Jack: Yeah? I'm sorry just have a lot on my mind.

Jordan: Your mom?

Jack: Yeah. She's trying to get back in our lives, but it's too late. She abandoned me when I needed her the most.

Jordan: But she's back now. You should give her a chance. At least let her explain why she left. You shouldn't always be so stubborn.

Jack contemplates Jordan words as Jordan rises from the table.

Scene 4: Degrassi Community School (Gymnasium). Afternoon

Students are gathering inside the gymnasium. Dev and Ivy are sitting on the stage with Emma. Ivy is looking at the note cards that she had prepared. Dev is unnerved and looking around with a smile on his face. He notices the fidgeting Ivy.

Dev: You don't have to be nervous. Everyone in here…they're normal just like us.

Ivy: I'm not.

Emma steps forwards and begins to speak into the microphone.

Emma: Good Afternoon Degrassi. Today we are here to listen to our student body nominees. First, we will have Dev Sidhu.

Dev (cheerful): Hello fellow Panthers. As most of you know, I am Bhudev Sudhu or Dev for short. This year I will be graduating Degrassi, the place that changed me into a better person. The student council works side-by-side with the student body and the administration to ensure student events throughout the year are successful. As President, I will ensure that you have a memorable year. I would appreciate your vote for president. If elected, I will continue to fight for the things that are important to students, no matter how big or small they might be. Let's work together to make our stamp on this community and on the world.

The students begin to applaud as Dev takes his seat. Emma returns to the microphone with a smile on her face.

Emma: Thank you, Dev for that wonderful speech. Next, we will have Ivy Armstrong speaking. Let give her a round of applause.

Emma walks away as the students begin to applaud for Ivy. Ivy adjusts the microphone as she looks at her schoolmates.

Ivy: From the first day I arrived at Degrassi, I knew I wanted to become more involved. From previously serving on the student council as the Grade 9 representative to becoming co-captain of the Spirit Squad, I consistently spend time in leadership roles and try to make this school an even better place than it already is. Yes, I can tell you all the things I would do as your president, but I think to truly be a panther you have to live and breath Degrassi, which I do. I started as just the younger sister of Chloe. People tried to keep me in her shadow, but I knew I wanted more. These past three years have been nothing but a joy. I love this school, I want to be helpful and I want us all to build memories we'll remember and treasure forever.

The crowd cheers. Ivy watches with a smile and returns to her seat.

Dev: You did great. Let the best person win.

Ivy and Dev glance at each other with smiles on their faces.

Scene 5: Mason's Home (Living Room). Night

Jack walks into the living room to see Spike cradling Gavin in her arms with a smile on her face. Emma looks at Jack and signals him to have a seat.

Emma: I'm going put Gavin down for bed. I think Jack has something to say to you.

Emma walks over, grabs Gavin from Spike, and proceeds to leave out the living room.

Spike: Did you know if it wasn't for Emma you might not be here. I was shocked into labor and I didn't know what to do. I didn't have anyone to help me, but Emma came and calm down the situation.

Jack: Why did you leave mom?

Spike signals Jack to sit closer to her. Jack walks over and takes a seat on the same couch as his mother.

Spike: I had to raise one child alone already and when your father died something in me just broke down. I felt like my heart shattered. I had a crush on him since I was sixteen. We've been through so much and when I woke up he was gone. You look just like him and seeing you made me hurt even more.

Jack (voice breaking): I'm your son. I pushed everyone away because I was scared of them leaving like you did. It was Emma and Spinner who helped me through the death of dad!

A tear falls from Jack's eyes. Spike quickly wraps her arms around her son with tears in her eyes. Emma watches from a distance as the two reconcile.

Scene 6: Holloway/Turner Home (Kitchen). Morning

Maxwell walks into the kitchen where his father is drinking coffee reading a newspaper and his mother is making breakfast. Maxwell takes a seat at the table and pours a cup of orange juice.

Mr. Holloway: Maxwell I've been meaning to speak with you. There have been a few large transactions on your credit card and withdrawals for hefty amounts. Would you like to explain?

Maxwell: It's nothing to concern yourself with Henry. I just bought a few upgrades for this game called Providence. I'm trying beat this overlord in the Valley of Nymphs. It supposed to be the hardest level.

Mr. Holloway begins to tone out Maxwell as he begins to go in-depth about the game.

Mr. Holloway: Fine, but I am cutting your credit limit down. You cannot spend money any type of way.

Maxwell: There is this tournament tonight. Can I borrow 500 dollars?

Mr. Holloway puts his paper and looks at Maxwell with a confused look. Maxwell mother takes a seat.

Mrs. Turner - Holloway: No. Your father is being nice by allowing you to have a credit card don't be greedy.

Maxwell: He's not my father. I have to get to school.

Maxwell rises from the table and storms out of the door. Maxwell pulls out his phone.

Maxwell: Can you meet me at the Dot?

Maxwell continues to walk.

Scene 7: Degrassi Community School (Main Corridor). Morning

The students gather in the halls. Emma and Kristin stand in the front. Emma holds an envelope and signals Dev and Ivy to come to the front.

Emma: You voted and I have the results of the class elections. Here to announce the winner is current student body president Kristin Everett.

Kristin: Your new student body president is…..Dev Sidhu.

Kristin walks away and the crowd cheers. The students begin to disburse.

Ivy: Congrats Dev. You will make a great President.

Dev: You right, but every good President needs a good VP. Would you be my Vice?

Ivy smiles and gives Dev a hug. Levi is seen in the distance with a smile on her face, but it disappears when she observes the hug between Ivy and Dev.

Scene 8: The Dot. Morning

London walks into the Dot and looks around the room to see Maxwell sitting on his phone.

London: Why did you call me all the way back here?

Maxwell: I need to borrow some money. I promise to pay you back, but I need you not to ask questions.

London looks into her purse.

London: How much do you need?

Maxwell: 1500 dollars.

London is overcome with shock that she is speechless.

London: I don't have that type of money. Why do you need that much?

Maxwell: I owe some people.

London: I want every penny back with interest.

London takes a seat. She looks at her brother with disappointment as she slides him her credit card.
