After having oral sex with Jay, Emma finally feels alive, but when many students get infected with gonorrhea, including Jay's girlfriend Alex, she worries that she may also have it. Meanwhile, Jimmy enlists the help of Craig and Marco to break out of the hospital and see his favorite band.
At Degrassi, Emma is walking into school as Jay is lifting up Alex Alex: Ow, stop. Amy: I love how mature your boyfriend is. Alex: Put me down. Great the first doctor's note I have that isn't a forgery and Mr. 'I can pick up a girl' has to make it look all suspicious. (Emma and Jay look at each other, so he kisses Alex.) Nate: Hey Emma, did JT say where we're supposed to leave our costumes? (Emma kisses Nate, as Jay, Snake and Manny all watch shocked.) Nate: I've had more conversations with the janitor than I've had with you. Emma: I was acting. Just kissing all my nerves out pre-dress rehearsal. But don't worry Nate. I'll wait for my cue next time! In the library, Jay grabs Emma Jay: Are you hot for Dracula? Or are you trying to mess with me? Emma: Are you gonna be in the ravine again tonight? Are we gonna party? I think I need another bracelet. Jay: I don't like being messed with, okay? Emma: I know. Mr. Simpson: I need a minute with my daughter. Jay: Oh that's adorable, sir. Mr. Simpson: Cut the commentary Jason. Go. (Jay leaves.) Emma: And stand by for concerned father figure lecture. Mr. Simpson: You come in at 3 in the morning hysterical, crying, wanting to talk about the shooting and now you're kissing random guys? Emma: It wasn't random. Mr. Simpson: Please Em. Let me, let me be here for you. Let me talk to you. Emma: The bell's gonna go. At the hospital, Marco is taking a picture of Jimmy and a nurse Paula: Thanks Marco. Taping this one right to my computer monitor. Take care Jimmy. Jimmy: Poor nurse Paula. She's gonna miss me, but home has a full fridge and a wide screen. Marco: Craig and I can come, hang out, without visiting hours! We can play Kid Elrick as loud as we want! Craig: Yeah, your dad can tuck you in instead of nurse Paula! Jimmy: She's the only thing I'm gonna miss about this place. (Jimmy's dad knocks on the door.) Jimmy: Block the doorway pops! No time for speed bumps. You ready? Mr. Brooks: You look good Jim. Jimmy: I don't like you look good Jim. Mr. Brooks: The rails they're putting in at the condo, they're not done. Not yet. Jimmy: So? Mr. Brooks: So I'm all over the contractors. Jimmy: So? Mr. Brooks: One more week tops! Maybe sooner if I can string it. Craig: Mr. Brooks, Jimmy gets around well. Mr. Brooks: I know Jimmy's made great progress but I can't be with him 24/7 right now and I don't want something happening. Something that's gonna trash all the progress that he's made. Marco: He really wants to go. What about Mrs. Brooks or a nurse?! I mean we could even help out! Jimmy: Forget it guys. Whatever. In the auditorium, Danny is on stage Danny: Sixteenth, May. Castle Dracula, his avital prison and die in it's prisoner. Worse. I fear I may be going mad! (He keeps talking and it cuts to Emma & Manny) Manny: If Nate was fifty and fat you could have caused cardiac arrest. Emma: Anything for the theatre! Liberty: Shh! Manny: I need complete teen girl details! Why, good, tongue, like it or not. Bring the answers over tonight. Emma: I have to go to the ravine tonight. I'm meeting some people. JT: Is it too much to ask for silence in the peanut gallery! Danny: There in the moonlight were three young women. Three... JT: Am I ever gonna get three of them? Amy: Alex was at the doctor's. She should be back. (Alex and Jay come rushing in.) Jay: Lexy it was nothing. Come on! JT: Lexy is late for her scene! Alex: You want a scene JT?! Hey best friend Amy let's give JT a scene! *She smacks Amy nice and hard* Tell me about the ravine Amy! About how you went down on my boyfriend, Amy and the bracelets you got for it! Amy: I didn't sleep with him! (Manny sees Emma covering up her bracelets.) Alex: By who's definition?! Jay: Let's step outside Alex. Alex: Don't touch me. Don't talk to me. I'll deck your smug face too! At the hospital Paula: Shake it off mopey Brooks. Jimmy: I'm not mopey! Paula: You know a chair's only a prison if you let it be. Jimmy: Stop the inspirational quotes. I'm not buying it. Paula: What you shouldn't buy is your dad's attitude. You and I both know Jimmy Brooks can do whatever he sets his mind to. At least I know it. Outside the school Manny: It doesn't take Sherlock Holmes to figure it out. Why would you hook up with Jay? Are you in love with him? Emma: No! Of course not. Manny: So, what do you get out of it?! Emma: That's a really stupid question. Manny: No, what you're doing is stupid. You're letting a disgusting bottom feeder use you to serial cheat on his girlfriend! Emma: Should you really be preaching to anyone about that?! We're not having real s*x. Manny: It's pretty close. Emma: But I'm not getting pregnant. Manny: Why are you trying to hurt me? Emma: Cause you won't leave me alone! Manny: You're better than this! You're better than what you're doing! Emma: What do you know about who I am or what I'm worth or anything?! At the hospital Marco: Special delivery from the sorry your dadda sucks pizzeria! Jimmy: Uh I'll hold out till tomorrow. Craig: What's tomorrow? Jimmy: Student council prez man gets you both out of school and then you come over here and bust me out. Craig: Sounds like trouble. Marco: (stuttering) I'm not good with trouble. Jimmy: I need to see something beyond you two and these ugly ass walls. Marco: Tomorrow. Craig: You're Houdini on wheels! Jimmy: (Pulls out a newspaper) Okay and Houdini wants to see Kid Elrick live tomorrow night! Yeah! At the ravine Emma: Hey have you seen Jay? Some guy: Hang with me instead. You could use another friend right? Emma: Friends with benefits. Some guy: Hey we could all use a good benefit too. Emma: Maybe next time. (Emma leaves and finds Jay's car.) Emma: Jay. Can I climb in? I went to the ravine, but you weren't there Jay: My day kind of sucked in case you didn't notice. Emma: So let's make you feel better. Jay: Alex is sick with some thing. She thinks I gave it to her and she won't talk to me so I don't feel like it tonight. Emma: Oh you gonna cry now?! Jay: You are one cold girl. Emma: There's a ton of guys who would love a chance to be with me. Jay: Right now, I'm not one of them. At the hospital, Marco and Jimmy are wearing black hoods Jimmy: It's uh sweet of you to bring this incredible disguise. Hate to tell you but uh it does absolutely nothing to hide this enormous shiny mass of scrap metal that I'm sitting in. Marco: I though it'd be cool to look like ninjas. Hush! He's coming! Here he comes! (Craig walks in wearing a trench coat and a hat.) Craig: I'm here for Dr. Shinklehatin. Receptionist: I'm sorry? Craig: I mean Dr. Shpitzlehaven. Receptionist: Sir I'm afraid we don't have anyone here by that name. (The phone rings.) Receptionist: HS Rye Recovery Centre. Good afternoon. Craig: Dr. Shpilkimishin?!? Marco: (On a cell phone) This is uh, This is uh, Dr. Smitgiztinsky. It's an emergency of the highest degree. (Craig starts breathing loudly and grabs his chest.) Receptionist: Are you okay sir? Craig: Go get Dr. Shunckenhoser! Marco: The man in front of you is uh extremely dangerous. I ask you to leave the area. Abandon it now! Receptionist: (As she's getting up to run away) Could you uh wait here sir... Craig: Go get Dr. Shuckenhoser! (The guys quickly rush for the door.) Marco: Go! Go! Let's go! [SCENE_BREAK] In the auditorium Emma: Jay! Jay. Um...about last night. Jay: You alright? Emma: Yeah. It's just a sore throat. That's all. I don't care about Alex or anything you know. Really I don't. JT: Raw egg, honey and lemon. Drink Emma: JT! My voice is just tired. That's all. JT: Just drink okay? You told me you'd be able to do the show, so you're gonna do the show, period. Emma: Ugh. This stuff is so rude. In a classroom Teacher: Come on, take your seat the both of you! JT: Public health nurse? Oh goody. Another evil omen to put me at calm. Nurse: Show of hands. Oral s*x is safer than regular intercourse? (A few people put up their hands.) Nurse: Okay. We think there's been a mini outbreak. Here. At Degrassi. Of this. Manny: Gonorrhea!?! (Everyone looks at her.) Manny: Sorry. Did I just say that out loud...? Nurse: It's not a very nice word is it? Gonorrhea. And how do you know if you have gonorrhea? Well...some symptoms are genital dischard, bleeding, burning, orally you might get a fever or sore throat JT: Hey Em. You got something to tell us? Emma: Shut up. Nurse: And sometimes those with the disease show no symptoms at all. Lucky, you might think. Think again. Untreated gonorrhea can cause arthritis, heart disease, infertility. Okay. Recognize this? (Picture of a condom) Good. If you've had any s*x without using one of these you are at risk. This applies to oral s*x as well. Especially if you've had it with a bunch of people or if your partner has. At the concert Jimmy: That was so incredibly stupid. Craig: You're here aren't you?! Breathing fresh bar air. (Two girls walk by and smile at Jimmy.) Marco: Mr. mobility just got checked out. Jimmy: It was more like a 'what's with the gimp, drive-by'. (Jimmy backs his chair into a guy who spills his food.) Jimmy: Oh. Man, I'm so sorry. The guy: Leave it. Jimmy: You sure? I'm really sorry. Okay guys lets go back. Now. Craig: Not unless the Kid is performing live in your hospital. Come on! Backstage at the school Liberty: I can't believe I have to be Alex. Tell me you're as nervous as I am! Manny: Is the Pope a Catholic? Does Jay have gonorrhea? Emma: Manny. Manny: Amy and Alex happen to be sick? What are you gonna do out there? Emma: I'm Emma. I play the part of Mina. Manny: If you have any conscience at all you will not kiss Dracula. (Emma gives her a dirty look and grabs her stuff.) Manny: Emma! Back at the concert Jimmy: The Kid's gonna be on any second. I can't see a thing. Marco: There aren't really any wheelchair seats. There aren't any seats. Craig: Maybe there's some down in front. Marco: Maybe there's a manager. Jimmy: You guys can't leave me here. Craig: Just two seconds, ok buddy?! (The show starts.) Jimmy: Excuse me! Excuse me! Excuse me! I can't really see. The guy: No problem man. (Jimmy wheels his chair to the front and he starts rocking out in his chair.) In the auditorium Nate: Then my brain says come to you. You shall cross land or sea to do my bidding and to that end...this! Emma: But no. I cannot. Dracula... (He leans in and doesn't kiss her.) Emma: What are you doing?! Nate: Keep going. Emma: What have I done? What have I done to deserve such a fate?! I have walked in meekness and righteousness all my days! God pity me! (He grabs her, the lights go out and people start clapping.) Backstage Emma: You threw the scene. That was completely unprofessional! Nate: I'd rather be that than diseased. Emma: What did you say? Nate: There isn't enough antibiotic in the world that would make me kiss you. And that little smooch in the hall the other day, who knows what I caught from that! Thanks so much! Jay: Screw him. Emma: Why did you do this to me? Jay: I didn't do anything! Emma: You gave me a social disease! Jay: You said you didn't care. Even this morning you said that! Emma: Just leave me alone okay! Jay: Look I never told Alex about you Emma. I liked how you had virtue or whatever. Emma: I don't. Not any of that. Jay: Come on. Who are you trying to fool? Everybody knows. Everybody knows about the real you! Just- (Emma leaves and watches the play sadly from the side.) At the hospital, the guys are going back to Jimmy's room Craig: Man we were so close, the Kid was basically sweating on us! Marco: I am never gonna shower. Craig: What?! (The guys are laughing, and when they get to the room and Jimmy's dad is standing there waiting.) Mr. Brooks: Your nurse called. Furious! Jimmy: So what are you gonna do? Ground me? Look. Today was an obstacle course okay? And I brought my A game. I had an A game! Mr. Brooks: James listen. Jimmy: No, I'm ready to come home! Now you have to be ready for it! Mr. Brooks: Will you be here tomorrow morning? Jimmy: Depends. What are you offering? Mr. Brooks: Find you a home care person to fill in the gap, be with you all the time. Okay? Jimmy: Okay. Thank you. At Emma's Spike: She was so amazing. I couldn't believe it was the same girl. Mr. Simpson: Kate Hepburn was reborn. Spike: Did we wake you, Ms. Hepburn? Emma: I wasn't asleep. Mr. Simpson: Post show adrenaline. Probably feel fantastic right now, huh? Spike: And for the record Snake and me walking on egg shells around you is officially over. Our girl's back! Emma: I just wanted you to be proud before. How brave and perfect I was. And after everything happened and Rick died, I couldn't hold onto it anymore. Spike: You don't have to be brave or perfect ever. Just be you. Emma: But what if I don't like me very much right now? (Emma starts crying) I need somebody to take me to the clinic. Spike: Are you sick? Do you have a fever? Emma: I just need to go to the health unit. Tomorrow. Mr. Simpson: There's something going around the school right now, but it's a very specific group. And Em, if you're worried, there's a good chance you don't have to be. Emma: I have to be. Spike: Emma. Emma: Just say you'll take me. Just say. (Spike hugs her, as she's still crying) Scenes for next week Voiceover: With Jimmy's return to school, Spinner must now face the truth. Spinner: I would have come, but things got crazy... Jimmy: I understand. I probably should have been there with you instead of at the hospital getting a bullet removed from my spine. Voiceover: And reveal what really happened that day. Jimmy: Rick put me in this chair for life!
