Drew's new girlfriend then teaches him to direct his skill into taekwondo. Dave returns to Alli's parents, as himself, and her father takes a liking to him, but with a warning. Holly J. continues regular meetings with her birth mother, and when Fiona buys her old prom dress for $20,000, she agrees to donate her kidney.
Like its predecessors, Degrassi follows a group of students attending Degrassi Community School who face challenges common to teen life, such as self image, peer pressure, child abuse, sexual identity, gang violence, self-injury, school shootings, teenage pregnancy and drug abuse.
Degrassi (previously titled The Next Generation) is the fourth fictional series in the Degrassi franchise, following The Kids of Degrassi Street, Degrassi Junior High, and Degrassi High.
