Season 1, Episode 4: Eye of the Beholder

We actually meet Paige in the episode prior to this one, but it wasn't even worth mentioning because this episode just confirms what everyone suspects: yes, Paige is, in fact, a wretched harpy. The episode opens with what's actually a really sad scene of a chubby Terri totally fat bashing herself while her dad tries to tell her how gorgeous she is. This is not the last time that Degrassi would, ahem, almost make me cry. Anyway, back to the subject at hand, which is, Paige is a stupid bitch.
Terri hates her own body so much that she refuses to go to the dance and fails to see that Spinner is totally hitting on her, which means she must hate herself pretty bad, because Spinner has all the subtlety of a fucking freight train. Paige tries to make moves on him, knowing that someone as dumb as Spinner would submit to her every whim if he was put under the spell of her feminine wiles- unfortunately for her, Spinner is not into hoes. Ashley points out to Terri that Spinner can't actually read, so that borrowing her geography notes is just a ruse to talk to her.
Meanwhile, child convict Sean Cameron is introduced when he shoves Jimmy Brooks, Ashley's boyfriend, a lot. Emma likes him because Jimmy and Spinner have been pretty dickish to her and Manny up to this point, maybe? I don't know. Either than or his Canadian tuxedo. JT and Toby decide not to go to the dance so they can stay home and look at porn (seriously) and Manny's dad won't let her out at night if she isn't wearing her habit, so Emma has to go to the dance sans friends.
Ashley spends the day trying to convince Terri to go to the dance and hook up with Spinner, despite the fact that Terri having someone else in her life would end Ashley's free therapy sessions with her. Paige hovers around trying to convince Ashley not to encourage her and flipping her weave everywhere.
No one listens to Paige since she sucks, but Ashley allows her to come over to her house while she does Terri's hair and makeup anyway. Terri looks totally bomb and Paige knows she's screwed for sure, so when Ashley leaves early to decorate and berate younger student council members, Paige gets Terri all tramped up and drunk. Being nervous and kind of dim, Terri goes along with it without question, and shows up to the dance totally hammered. The whole time she thanks Paige for helping her, which would probably make someone with a soul feel super guilty. Alas, Paige wouldn't know about that, so she hangs around smirking and telling Spinner how she told Terri not to be such a lush, while Terri stumbles around and looks like an asshole. When Terri has run out to puke, Paige moves in for the kill. Spinner, who is easily confused and also a 14 year old boy, settles.
In the rest of Degrassi world, Emma dances with Sean and JT and Toby get caught looking at porn on Toby's parent's dial up. His parents , being totally awesome, make them watch gay porn to punish them for objectifying women, and also because they know that's what they actually want to be watching anyway. Being dumbasses, they tell Emma and Manny about it the next day, thus ruining their chances with the only girls even remotely likely to do them forever. It's just as well, since the seed of doubt has already been planted.
