As Tori and Zig's four month anniversary approaches, Tori pressures Zig for an extravagant event. However, Zig is poor and can only put on a show with the help of Maya. Dave has trouble becoming a gay Romeo, and Eli gives him the convincing he needs. Fiona returns to Degrassi, but Imogen is not as excited. Fiona joins student council.
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.
