Curly haired best friends like a curly haired girl, but said curly haired girl only likes curly haired best friend #1. Sorry to dwell on their tresses, but it struck me as odd that Rachel, Danny (best friend #1) and Derek all have the exact same hair texture, if in different colours – distractably odd. Is it a coincidence that David Eggers – Damian’s favourite author, namesake of Emma’s dog and frequent allusion in sub-plot – also tends to sport a burgeoning fro? I declare this episode a curly haired conspiracy!

Weirdest moment that demands comment: After working with them for a project, and sucking Danny’s neck like a barnacle, Rachel still can’t get Derek and Danny’s names straight. Is Degrassi’s first threesome on the horizon?

Best Style: We just caught the slightest glimpse of Spike’s silky red Asian blouse, but it was hip. Almost makes me wish that I had become pregnant when I was fourteen too, if only so that my teenage daughter would envy my still hip thirty-something wardrobe. Almost being the operative word in the previous sentence.

Worst Style: When Danny wears a dickey to cover up his hickey. Take note boys, when faced with this situation, do not resort to a dickey. Try a PLO Scarf (I think we all know those hipsters aren’t wearing them for the political statement), or a hand knit scarf (girls will interpret this as you being a loving son, and hence a loving boyfriend).

Best Quote: We just catch the tail end of Johnny DeMarco’s video project: “And that’s how separating recycling will save the world.” I’ve never felt better about ensuring that those little plastic windows are ripped out of envelopes before putting them in the gray bin.
