Degrassi High: Season 02 (1990)

The former students of DeGrassi Junior High enter their second year in high school as the TV series DeGrassi High enters its final season. Among the major developments: Michelle (Maureen McKay) breaks up with her black boyfriend, BLT (Dayo Ade), whereupon Snake (Stefan Brogren) hopes to get Michelle on the rebound; school bully Dwayne (Darrin Brown) finds out his girlfriend has HIV; Joey (Pat Mastroianni) gets into hot water when he "streaks" through the cafeteria; single mom Spike (Amanda Stepto) continues to put the shards of her life back together; Lucy (Anais Granofsky) finds out that her "dream" boyfriend is potentially a nightmare; Liz (Cathy Keenan) reveals that she was once molested by her stepfather; Wheels (Neil Hope) has problems finding a place to stay after he moves out of his grandparents' home; and the hypersensitive Claude (David Armin-Parcells) commits suicide over a trivial matter, and Caitlin (Stacie Mistysyn) holds herself responsible. The series ends with the announcement that all of the kids will be transferred to a different school for their junior year -- compelling Dwayne, who now has HIV himself, to make a life-altering decision. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
