Six months pregnant, Liberty and J.T. decide to tell their families about it- and that they're moving into their own apartment. J.T. decides to work several jobs in order to support the baby, including working at a pharmacy. But when they are in desperate means of cash, J.T. takes the advice of Jay Hogart, and steals some drugs to sell. Snake decides to shed his old skin when he goes through a mid-life crisis.
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.
