Episode opens with Ashley Kerwin, neurotic perfectionist, talking about her unopposed run for class president on the phone to sweet chubby best friend Terri. We soon find out that this poor soul is forced to live with none other than obnoxious ass hobbit Toby. Bickering ensues with frequent mention of family therapy, and within two minutes it becomes obvious this family has serious issues. Later, at school, Toby reveals his intention of ruining his stepsister's life by convincing J.T. to run against Ashley for president by playing into JT's attention whoring ways. It works a little too well when JT actually starts getting votes based on his promises to obtain softer TP for the asses of Degrassi students.
Ashley, being an emotional trainwreck, immediately starts to crack under the pressure. She tries to bribe JT to drop out of the race, revealing the seedy underbelly of junior high politics. Toby naturally loses his shit and threatens to expose Ashley to the whole school, before figuring out that he's already broken Ashley's spirit long ago with his insufferable douchebaggery and that contiuing to cause her pain would just be boring at this point. Ashley wins president after all and informs Toby that she no longer wants to brutally torture him. Toby discovers that he's been fucking with someone who has serious emotional problems and counts himself lucky that his election meddling didn't cost Ashley the presidency, since it probably would've meant the end of his life via murder-suicide. Smart move indeed, Issacs.
