Posted: 02/04/08 10:35
At the ski lodge
Darcy: What time is it? Peter?
(She looks around and sees her clothes on the floor.)
Darcy: Peter! Peter what happened last night?
Peter: I think I became fluent in keg draft.
Darcy: But did we? Oh my gosh. We did.
Peter: Did what?
(She nods down.)
Peter: Are you sure?
Darcy: Yes I’m sure and you should be too. You were kinda there.
Peter: My body was I guess, but not my mind…Darcy I was totally wasted.
Darcy: You’re not the only one who was. I’ve got the thrashing headache to prove it.
Peter: We had sex?
Darcy: When does the next bus leave? If I don’t get home before my parents, I’m dead.
Peter: Darcy I know this isn’t how you pictured it.
Darcy: Let me get dressed. Just get out.
Peter: No I mean I wish it had been more memorable. I know how much it meant to you, losing your virginity.
Darcy: No you don’t, Peter. Not even a little. Now please let me get dressed.
In the gym
Manny: And 5, 6, 7, 8. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, 7, 8. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, 7, 8. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, 7, 8.
(Holly J starts screwing up the moves.)
Darcy: Uh Holly? Try to keep up.
Holly J: It’s Holly J and I’m trying. It’s just hard to memorize mediocrity.
Darcy: Please. You know what? Practice is over. Everyone hit the showers.
Manny: Way to end practice on a high note. What happened?
Darcy: What? Uh what do you mean?
Manny: You know at Mount Huron? After you got all judgy on me and I left?
Darcy: Manny I’m really sorry about that.
Manny: What was it again? No values, no self-respect…
(Darcy doesn’t say anything.)
Manny: Uh oh. Rents caught you sneaking back in, didn’t they?
Darcy: No they didn’t. It’s not that. It’s Peter.
Manny: I had a feeling when you guys weren’t on the bus home. Did something happen?
(She starts to cry.)
Darcy: Everything and I barely remember it.
Manny: Are you sure you said yes? You’re sure Peter didn’t take advantage?
Darcy: Manny don’t go there. I got drunk and I made a mistake. End of story.
Manny: You’re not the first one, honey.
Darcy: What if people find out? What if they talk and say I’m like this big nympho? I swear I’d die.
Manny: You’ll be fine, so as long as you make sure Peter hasn’t told anyone.
Darcy: But I know.
Manny: And every girl is entitled to a secret, or two, or three. It’ll be fine.
At Marco, Paige and Ellie’s
Marco: Morning. Sleep okay?
Alex: Yeah you weren’t lying about that couch.
Marco: You don’t have to lie, Alex. I know you and Paige are playing house in Dylan’s room. It’s not like he’s gonna care. He’s in Switzerland.
(Paige walks in looking for something.)
Marco: Keys to the store? They’re on the fridge.
Paige: Oh thanks, hon. Without you, I’d be sad, lonely and with many cats.
Marco: You know we have a no pets rule?
Paige: Well once I close down Squatch Designs for good, I’ll leave the rats behind. Bye guys.
Marco: Bye.
(She kisses Alex goodbye.)
Marco: Hey El don’t forget, study group at 4. I made notes.
Ellie: Thanks. You’re too perfect.
Marco: Tell that to Dylan.
Alex: What’s with Dylan?
Marco: It’s our anniversary and you’d think I would have heard from him by now, but nada.
Ellie: Marco, the boy has checked out.
Marco: I gotta get to class.
Ellie: Sorry! I’m sure he’ll call.
In Ms. Kwan’s class
Derek: Come on. You can tell us.
Danny: Totally. We’re practically friends.
Peter: Alright, but you guys can’t tell anyone. Alright…I think Darcy and I had sex.
Derek: No way!
Danny: What?!
Peter: Shh!
Danny: What do you mean think you had sex?
Peter: Well you know when you think you had sex, but you’re not totally sure if you did or not?
Derek: Uh no.
Danny: Come on dude, you’re asking us?
Derek: So what is it? Did you do it or not?
Danny: I knew it! He did. Score.
Peter: Shh. It’s a secret. You guys can keep a secret, right?
Danny: Totally. We’re not like immature or whatever.
Derek: Yeah. So did you see her bare-naked?
Ms. Kwan: Seats everyone. Today we begin studying a new novel, the mid-19th century classic, “The Scarlet Letter” written by Nathaniel Hawthorne. The book is a story of a woman who must permanently bear the mark of her sins in the face of public scrutiny.
At the Core
Marco: Hello Nash.
Eric: Marco. Hey how are you?
Marco: Eric!
Eric: What brings you to the Core?
Marco: Uh just getting a textbook from El. How goes the journalism?
Ellie: Makes no sense.
Jesse: What? Your Justin Timberlake review?
Ellie: Ha ha. It’s Marco. He keeps holding onto a guy who treats him like crap.
Jesse: Well he’s sure got a fan in Eric.
Ellie: Really? We should set them up!
Jesse: We should mind our own business and by ‘we’, I mean you.
Ellie: Look you know Marco. Unless someone intervenes, he’s gonna let Dylan kick him around forever.
Jesse: No doubt. Marco’s loyal to a fault, which is why he’s never gonna let you set him up with Eric.
Ellie: You’re right. Just means we’re gonna have to be sneaky.
Jesse: Still with the ‘we’, huh?
Outside the school
Peter: Hey you still mad at me?
Darcy: I wasn’t mad at you. I was freaked out.
Peter: Yeah I get it. I do. I was freaked too.
Darcy: I’m just surprised, I guess.
Peter: Yeah I know. It wasn’t how you thought it would happen.
(They hug.)
Darcy: So we agree? That it was a mistake. I mean it can’t happen again.
Peter: Darcy I don’t want to do anything to make you unhappy, ever. So whatever you say goes.
Darcy: And you didn’t tell anyone about, about what we did, did you?
Peter: No. Of course not.
Darcy: Good because if anyone found out…
Peter: Don’t worry. No one will. I’m just glad we’re cool because if you were mad at me, I couldn’t take it.
At Marco and Ellie’s
Marco: So Dylan just sent the lamest text. It says “Hap aniv M, Luv D. Could that be any more abbreviated? Why does it smell like pizza?
Ellie: Because we have guests.
Jesse: Hey Marco. Uh Eric and I were uh just doing some work.
Eric: Hey Marco.
Ellie: Jesse I wanted to show you that thing. Remember?
Jesse: Oh right. The thing. Love things.
(They leave Marco and Eric alone.)
Marco: Well that wasn’t awkward.
Eric: I’m sorry. I didn’t know they were gonna make it such an obvious setup.
Marco: But you did know it was a setup?
Eric: Well I guess I kinda thought there was something between us.
Marco: Yeah there is something between us. His name’s Dylan. He’s my boyfriend.
Eric: Okay. I wonder if uh Ellie can show me that, that thing. Enjoy the pizza.
At the Dot
(Peter and Darcy are cuddling when Emma and Manny walk in.)
Manny: Hey. Mind if we interrupt this love fest?
Darcy: We’ve got all the time in the world for friends.
Peter: We can all be friends, right?
Emma: No recent reasons why not. People change, right?
Peter: They sure do.
(Jane walks in.)
Jane: Get a room you two. Oh wait a sec, you already did that, you sly dogs.
Darcy: You told her?
Peter: No I didn’t!
Jane: Well those two fuzz-head twins won’t shut up about it.
(Darcy leaves.)
Peter: Thanks a lot.
(Peter rushes out after her.)
Peter: Darcy I’m sorry.
Darcy: Oh great you’re sorry. That’s really gonna help me get my reputation back.
Peter: I only told Danny and Derek because I was so freaking confused.
Darcy: About what?
Peter: About the fact that you say we had sex, but I don’t think we did. I really don’t.
Darcy: I know what happened that night. I know that we had sex.
Peter: Listen, last time I saw you, you were passed out and there were a lot of people around. People we don’t know. I was out of control.
Darcy: Stop it Peter!
Peter: I really hope it’s not true, but what if something happened?
Darcy: It’s not possible. I’m not the sort of person that happens to.
Peter: You’re sure you had sex. I’m sure it wasn’t with me.
Darcy: Don’t talk to me.
Peter: What?
Darcy: You heard what I said. Don’t talk to me ever.
(She walks away upset.)
Outside the school
(Darcy walks inside after taking a deep breath.)
Derek: Darcy you little thief.
Danny: Yeah we heard you stole Pete’s virginity. Made him a man, you little minx.
Emma: Out of the way, dorks! Don’t let them bug you. We’ve both been here before.
Manny: It’s like being a sheep and the halls are filled with wolves with acne.
Kim: Guess all those years in Friendship Club didn’t mean much.
Darcy: Hey Kim.
Kim: I see you’re still wearing your abstinence ring. Don’t you think you should take it off?
Emma: This isn’t the time, Kim.
Darcy: No it’s fine.
(She takes off her ring and hands it to Kim.)
Darcy: Satisfied?
Kim: Virginity is God’s most precious gift and you just gave it away.
(Manny sticks out her tongue at Kim and the girls walk away.)
At Marco and Ellie’s
Ellie: Yeah frozen toaster tart!
Marco: Hey you’re still in the doghouse Nash.
Ellie: I was only trying to help you and by the way, it was real nice of you to crush poor Eric’s feeling.
Marco: I know. I got freaked. Maybe I’m attracted to him.
Ellie: Maybe?
Marco: Okay he’s hot! And in another time and place it might have worked, but Dylan…
Ellie: …is in Europe, which is European for far, far away. He’s living his life Marco, but what are you doing?
Marco: Fine. I will take Eric out for one cup of coffee. Just promise to get off my back.
Ellie: Promise.
(Marco tries to take the poptarts out of the toaster and Ellie stops him.)
Ellie: No. they have to be hot.
At Darcy’s locker
Peter: Darcy can I talk to you?
Darcy: I think you’ve done enough talking. You’ve made my life here hell.
Manny: Shoo! Go on! Get!
(She pushes him away.)
Peter: I’m gonna m*rder Danny and Derek!
Jane: Hey uh you guys hear about that Mount Huron thing? There’s a police warning about some roofie r*pist on the loose. Someone’s going around and spiking some random girls’ drinks at parties. Crazy scary.
(Darcy has a flashback to the night.)
Darcy: Totally. So lucky it wasn’t one of us.
Jane: Yeah.
(Jane leaves and Darcy doesn’t say anything.)
Darcy: What?
Manny: You said you were out of your mind drunk.
Darcy: I had one drink. It just hit me.
Manny: One drink doesn’t hit you like that. Roofies do and they also make you forget.
Darcy: I remember me and Peter having sex. I remember the whole thing. It was beautiful.
Manny: That’s not what you said yesterday.
Darcy: Well my memory came back.
At a doctor’s office
(Darcy is getting her blood tested.)
Doctor: So we’ll send this off to the lab, along with your urine. We’ll test for the usual STI’s. Just bend your arm up. And we’ll have the results in a few hours.
Darcy: And there’s absolutely no way you can tell if I’m pregnant?
Doctor: Not this soon, I’m sorry. You uh, you said you were very intoxicated when you had sex. Are you sure it was consensual?
Darcy: Oh absolutely. My boyfriend, Ramón’s, condom broke. Oops.
Doctor: Ms. Edwards, I know an excellent person you can talk to if…
Darcy: Oh no need, doctor. I’ve got my boyfriend, my family, my friends, all sorts of support.
Doctor: Okay.
At a coffee shop
Eric: That’s why I love the summer camp. I think all kids should have access to the outdoors.
Marco: Yeah and all the mosquito bites they can scratch.
Eric: Don’t knock it, city boy. Maybe some day I’ll take you to the woods.
Marco: Look Eric you’re great and I’m trying, but I have a boyfriend.
Eric: Look you have a crutch. What are you afraid of Marco?
Marco: Nothing. Its long distance and it’s difficult, but I’m committed.
Eric: Look you’re hiding under a safety blanket. There’s a whole world out there and Dylan’s not the only gay man in it.
Marco: Well thanks for the advice. You sure seem to know a lot about my love life.
Eric: I know you deserve someone who’s good to you.
Marco: Well I happen to have that guy.
In Darcy’s backyard
Manny: Hey. Got your IM. What’s going on?
Darcy: I used to play here when I was little and I used to dream about my prince who would sweep me of my feet at our perfect wedding. I just found out I have Chlamydia. Got any antibiotics?
Manny: Is Peter getting tested?
(Darcy shakes her head no and she starts to cry.)
Darcy: I remember feeling someone on me and he smelled bad. Not like Peter. I just wanted it to be him so bad.
Manny: Oh my god, Darcy.
Darcy: I don’t know what to do, Manny. I’m terrified. Everywhere I look I think “is that him? Is that the guy?”
Manny: Darcy you’ve got to talk to someone. You’ve got to tell.
Darcy: You said Manny. You said every girl is entitled to a secret.
Manny: I didn’t mean getting r*ped. Babe you’ve got to talk to your parents, okay?
(Darcy nods her head.)
Manny: Darcy, you’re still gonna have your prince and your perfect wedding. You’re gonna have it all, okay? It’s okay.
At Darcy’s house
Mrs. Edwards: Daddy and I are off to choir practice. Hey everything okay, honey? Oh don’t tell me that cold of yours is coming back.
Darcy: I’m still feeling a little under the weather. Have fun at choir.
At Spirit Squad practice
Manny: Okay bring it down. Holly J, can you take over for a sec?
Holly J: Okay back in formation.
(Manny goes into the locker room and finds Darcy on the floor with the shower running and her wrist cut, bleeding into the drain.)
Manny: Darcy? Darcy!
(Manny turns off the water and gives her a towel.)
Manny: Oh my god. Hold this. Press. I’m calling 911.
At the hospital
Peter: Do they know?
Manny: I don’t think Darcy told them yet.
Peter: Someone’s got to.
Manny: Not us, not now.
Peter: Why not?
Manny: I got this pamphlet.
Peter: Oh great a pamphlet.
Manny: It says r*pe victims need to heal at their own pace. It’s important.
(Mrs. Edwards starts to walk over and Peter leaves before she can see him.)
Mrs. Edwards: The cut wasn’t deep. She’ll be okay, but can you tell me why my perfect daughter would have done this?
Manny: Mrs. Edwards, I really don’t know.
(Darcy is shown in the hospital bed upset.)
At Marco, Paige and Ellie’s
(Marco is pouring a cup of coffee when Paige walks in.)
Paige: Keeping Sumatra in business, hon?
Marco: I haven’t slept much. Been waiting for Dylan to call for two days.
Paige: Well luckily I’ve got just the thing to cheer you up. Squatch Design tees in every single colour.
Marco: Sorry about the store going under.
Paige: No big. We did everything we could. C’est la vie, que sera and all that. There’s no use crying.
Marco: I guess when it’s time, it’s time.
(His phone rings.)
Marco: Dylan. Hey listen, um we need to talk. Yeah it’s the talk.
In Ms. Sauvé’s office
Darcy: I just don’t know what to say. I don’t even know why I’m here.
Ms. Sauvé: You’re here because you hurt yourself on school property. Darcy I know there’s a reason for what you did and if you ever do want to talk, I could be a pretty good listener. But in the meantime we’re gonna create a safety plan and make sure you have the best support system around. And if there’s anything else you need, you know where to reach me.
In the hallway
Manny: Hey. How’d it go?
Darcy: I couldn’t tell her. Not yet.
Peter: I got you something, abstinence ring.
Manny: What happened, it didn’t count Darcy.
(She takes the ring and they start walking down the hall together.)
Scenes for next week
Voiceover: On an all new Degrassi when Paige goes all Devil Wears Prada…
Andrea: The models?
Paige: Are in makeup as we speak.
Andrea: What about the new music mix?
Paige: Oh uh tracks 1-6. Have it on a loop.
Voiceover: And total hell breaks loose.
Paige: Oh my god. Take off the dress now!
Alex: But I was trying to surprise you.
Paige: Well congratulations!
Voiceover: Is this the end of Paige and Alex?
Alex: You actually care about this artificial crap?
Paige: You were better off as a stripper.
Darcy: What time is it? Peter?
(She looks around and sees her clothes on the floor.)
Darcy: Peter! Peter what happened last night?
Peter: I think I became fluent in keg draft.
Darcy: But did we? Oh my gosh. We did.
Peter: Did what?
(She nods down.)
Peter: Are you sure?
Darcy: Yes I’m sure and you should be too. You were kinda there.
Peter: My body was I guess, but not my mind…Darcy I was totally wasted.
Darcy: You’re not the only one who was. I’ve got the thrashing headache to prove it.
Peter: We had sex?
Darcy: When does the next bus leave? If I don’t get home before my parents, I’m dead.
Peter: Darcy I know this isn’t how you pictured it.
Darcy: Let me get dressed. Just get out.
Peter: No I mean I wish it had been more memorable. I know how much it meant to you, losing your virginity.
Darcy: No you don’t, Peter. Not even a little. Now please let me get dressed.
In the gym
Manny: And 5, 6, 7, 8. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, 7, 8. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, 7, 8. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, 7, 8.
(Holly J starts screwing up the moves.)
Darcy: Uh Holly? Try to keep up.
Holly J: It’s Holly J and I’m trying. It’s just hard to memorize mediocrity.
Darcy: Please. You know what? Practice is over. Everyone hit the showers.
Manny: Way to end practice on a high note. What happened?
Darcy: What? Uh what do you mean?
Manny: You know at Mount Huron? After you got all judgy on me and I left?

Marco: Look Eric you’re great and I’m trying, but I have a boyfriend.
Eric: Look you have a crutch. What are you afraid of Marco?
Marco: Nothing. Its long distance and it’s difficult, but I’m committed.
Eric: Look you’re hiding under a safety blanket. There’s a whole world out there and Dylan’s not the only gay man in it.
Marco: Well thanks for the advice. You sure seem to know a lot about my love life.
Eric: I know you deserve someone who’s good to you.
Marco: Well I happen to have that guy.
In Darcy’s backyard
Manny: Hey. Got your IM. What’s going on?
Darcy: I used to play here when I was little and I used to dream about my prince who would sweep me of my feet at our perfect wedding. I just found out I have Chlamydia. Got any antibiotics?
Manny: Is Peter getting tested?
(Darcy shakes her head no and she starts to cry.)
Darcy: I remember feeling someone on me and he smelled bad. Not like Peter. I just wanted it to be him so bad.
Manny: Oh my god, Darcy.
Darcy: I don’t know what to do, Manny. I’m terrified. Everywhere I look I think “is that him? Is that the guy?”
Manny: Darcy you’ve got to talk to someone. You’ve got to tell.
Darcy: You said Manny. You said every girl is entitled to a secret.
Manny: I didn’t mean getting r*ped. Babe you’ve got to talk to your parents, okay?
(Darcy nods her head.)
Manny: Darcy, you’re still gonna have your prince and your perfect wedding. You’re gonna have it all, okay? It’s okay.
At Darcy’s house
Mrs. Edwards: Daddy and I are off to choir practice. Hey everything okay, honey? Oh don’t tell me that cold of yours is coming back.
Darcy: I’m still feeling a little under the weather. Have fun at choir.
At Spirit Squad practice
Manny: Okay bring it down. Holly J, can you take over for a sec?
Holly J: Okay back in formation.
(Manny goes into the locker room and finds Darcy on the floor with the shower running and her wrist cut, bleeding into the drain.)
Manny: Darcy? Darcy!
(Manny turns off the water and gives her a towel.)
Manny: Oh my god. Hold this. Press. I’m calling 911.
At the hospital
Peter: Do they know?
Manny: I don’t think Darcy told them yet.
Peter: Someone’s got to.
Manny: Not us, not now.
Peter: Why not?
Manny: I got this pamphlet.
Peter: Oh great a pamphlet.
Manny: It says r*pe victims need to heal at their own pace. It’s important.
(Mrs. Edwards starts to walk over and Peter leaves before she can see him.)
Mrs. Edwards: The cut wasn’t deep. She’ll be okay, but can you tell me why my perfect daughter would have done this?
Manny: Mrs. Edwards, I really don’t know.
(Darcy is shown in the hospital bed upset.)
At Marco, Paige and Ellie’s
(Marco is pouring a cup of coffee when Paige walks in.)
Paige: Keeping Sumatra in business, hon?
Marco: I haven’t slept much. Been waiting for Dylan to call for two days.
Paige: Well luckily I’ve got just the thing to cheer you up. Squatch Design tees in every single colour.
Marco: Sorry about the store going under.
Paige: No big. We did everything we could. C’est la vie, que sera and all that. There’s no use crying.
Marco: I guess when it’s time, it’s time.
(His phone rings.)
Marco: Dylan. Hey listen, um we need to talk. Yeah it’s the talk.
In Ms. Sauvé’s office
Darcy: I just don’t know what to say. I don’t even know why I’m here.
Ms. Sauvé: You’re here because you hurt yourself on school property. Darcy I know there’s a reason for what you did and if you ever do want to talk, I could be a pretty good listener. But in the meantime we’re gonna create a safety plan and make sure you have the best support system around. And if there’s anything else you need, you know where to reach me.
In the hallway
Manny: Hey. How’d it go?
Darcy: I couldn’t tell her. Not yet.
Peter: I got you something, abstinence ring.
Manny: What happened, it didn’t count Darcy.
(She takes the ring and they start walking down the hall together.)
