Facing the pressure of year-end exams, the furthest thing from Marco's mind is what happened a year ago - when Dylan stomped all over his heart. Marco takes this as a sign that he's over Dylan for good. Such a good sign, in fact, that he decides to take his flirtation with Tim to the next level. They have their first date, and it all goes smoothly - including their first kiss (a first for Tim). That is, until Marco spots Dylan at the bar. Seeing each other again at Paige's party, emotions run high and it forces Marco to realize that despite his desire to be over Dylan, he is not. The same goes for Dylan - they are both very much in love. Still. Meanwhile, Liberty is having a tough time dealing with the fact that her baby is moving with it's new family all the way across the country, and she's becoming depressed.

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.
