Rewatching this it’s scary to think that Rick was going to shoot Paige because he thought that she set up the paint & feathers prank, but when Paige apologized to him she didn’t even know that she could’ve gotten killed
Kevin Riley I know! Not enough people mention how much this sucked for Toby who just wanted a friend and not like the ones he had that felt that they were too good for him half of the time
don't forget toby also was friends with jimmy when he visted Ashley always showing up heck even if its low key now they remade up in lean on me...so for him its double bad ...he has no guilt...but its such a bad situation for him
Rick clutching that backpack going back into Degrassi after going back home should have been the biggest red flag. Where were the teachers? Why didn’t they talk to him?
I remember watching this episode when it originally aired. At the end of the episode I remember Jimmy doing a public service announcement about bullying. Does anyone else recall that?
punchy9214 as much as I love JT that’s so true Toby needs more friends that are better. JT and Toby used to be tight but now JT is tryna be all cool and ditching Toby
He was always my favorite character because he had the least drama associated with him. He was a fun, cool and mostly down-to-earth guy, albeit a little cocky at times
Nerlinda Jean But it would of never happened if Jay and Spinner hadn't pretend that Jimmy came up with the plan. The reason why he shot him is because he was convinced Jimmy had done that to him
Not all Spinner -_- he definitely played a huge role but not all Spinner...example you forgot Jay it was actually his idea Spinner's dumbass just went along with it
This has scared me since I was a child, I get chills just thinking about this episode. It taught me to be nice to everyone no matter how weird or rude they might be.
I love this series ... but I dread this ep .. Jay and spinner are so childish and immature. I bet if they would've known the consequences of their conversation in the bathroom they would've thought twice
This is why parents need to teach their kids that it’s not okay to bully people and schools need to do a better job of punishing students that are bullying. Schools say they have a anti bullying policy but they don’t follow up on it and instead allow the popular kids to bully and treat other students horribly.
This was such an intense episode honestly. I remember watching it for the first time and just feeling so terrified the entire episode! Just the atmosphere and feeling gets you all worked up, and gives you that nerve wracking feeling
On a whole different note, I never understood why they didn't let the Angela character come to Degrassi as Angela. They let Alex Steele (who portrayed Angela) come back to Degrassi as a whole new character.
Stoneman180190 actually there's no need to get Joey back but let small Angela be grown up Angela...A few lines in later episodes of how things get going with Joey would be enough...
I remember when my sister watched this episode and cried about what happened. Around the time it had aired I was too young to understand what happened and what was really going on. This episode was such a big deal because no one had ever thought that a young adult television would go so far into talking about a situation like this. Fans went crazy over this episode and it is still the most jaw dropping episodes of this whole entire series. I think people need to rewatch this episode again in today's society to help better prevent school shootings and to remind teachers and faculty that they need to be aware of the signs. This episode perfectly executes a school shooting situation to a tee, and I'm happy that Degrassi went the extra mile to talking about it.
Jay bullied Rick like he knew Terri.
“this is the one time I actually wanna be at school” scariest line i’ve ever heard in my life😭😂‼️
Exclusively Eda y r you laughing
Okay but the actor playing Rick made him insanely terrifying and real so talented
for real Ephraim Ellis is very good
And not to mention, that actor has nice teeth
Evee
What an... odd thing to focus on.
Big T. Larrity Nah it’s not. I ALWAYS notice nice teeth first haha
@@poison264 Haha I've always thought that too. Not sure why I noticed.
Watching jimmy defend him is extremely hard knowing what’s coming
Bailey Joan ik
I cry
right, literally broke my heart
Paige chose a good day to not make any smart comments at Rick
Faith Matthew IKR smart move Paige
The thing is Paige’s apology saved her life
PhantomBlade IKR good for Paige
PhantomBlade she didn't even know it just her growing as a person
Simpson was right, Rick's bullying situation (and his situation prior) were not handled properly. Schools still don't handle it like they should
Agreed!!
Yeah like he should've never been allowed back into Degrassi in the first place!
Schools don’t pay much attention to bullying they never did anything when I told them about me. I just learned to stand up for myself.
Haley Nicole m my name is Jay Fleming and I wish I was a teenager again and I also wish to being high school again
This episode made me dislike that principal more
My eyes welled up with tears as soon as Craig said "Jimmy"
Toby was literally the only person that cared that Rick died
Ryan Bowie that’s cuz Toby’s a real one
Why did Raditch think it was a good idea to have Rick come back to Degrassi in the first place?
What he did wasn't school related so as far as I know he doesn't have a right to deny Rick his education if he wants to go back to Degrassi.
Raditch doesn't own degrassi, degrassi is public school so
Paige picked the right time to be nice
Alexis Craig-Hart yeah b/c Rick was about to peel her muffin cap back blue
Shooo did
She always does
Agreed otherwise she would have had a bullet to the brain.
Nice for what?
Spinner was never a good friend to Jimmy 😭
not once
He evidently became one but seasons 1-4 I totally agree.
Rewatching this it’s scary to think that Rick was going to shoot Paige because he thought that she set up the paint & feathers prank, but when Paige apologized to him she didn’t even know that she could’ve gotten killed
k fan and it looked like he decided he wasn’t going to do it. Then spinner and jay in the bathroom happened and he changed his mind again
This man rick shot everyone but the right person💀
WHY JIMMY 😭 he’s probably the most kind hearted person on this show
I'm hating Spinner this season. Him thinking about other girls while dating Paige and now doing this to Jimmy.
river IKR some friend he is
The school shooting. The darkest time Degrassi has ever had
Ryan Lee Then JT got stabbed 😱😥
Don’t forget JT dying :( I cried like a baby
So many deaths of all times to the students, It's so tragic😭😭
Ryan Lee Next to JT dying
And Claude's suicide in 1991 (DH)
Why did Emma, Sean, and Toby walk towards the sound? I would have been out of there a long time ago.
Zo L I always thought that too lol
Its a white people thing
LittleLulubee well that escalated QUICKLY
Fabian- It escalated when Adrianna dissed white people
@@LittleLulubee well no white people much prefer to shoot those of a different race, especially in uniform
Mannnn Degrassi WENT THERE!!!!! This entire subject about bullying really made me see things differently in school...
Archie should’ve been principal since day one
Ally Cerrillo wait until season10😏
right?! Radich was a horrid principal
?? what are you talking about?
Or at least Hatzilakos
Ally Cerrillo Agreed
those kids were so niave. the fact that happeneds, he went home and then *CAME BACK* everyones alarms shouldve wen off.
Alize Cook what do u mean are they supposed to know when someone has a gun
Alize Cook This is Canada. People aren't used to the level of physcho as they are in America.
It was a long time ago, as well. Aside from this being set in Canada, school shootings weren't a weekly occurrence when this episode was released.
Chica Loca
Canada is America😂😂
I don't think the fact that he came back should have set alarms off, but the fact that he went home and didn't change should have set alarms off.
So are we gonna act like Manny doesn't attend Degrassi!! Seriously, where was she through all this
"He died?"
That was heartbreaking.
no it’s not toby is still just as annoying as ever ✋🏼
@@razkable Right...he lost two friends in this episode
Awww can we appreciate that Joey referred to Craig as his kid ❤
My heart sunk when Craig said “Jimmy” 😭😭
The actor who played rick did an excellent performance in my opinion
yoooo what kind of "lockdown" was that?? Everyone was standing around using their phones with the lights on
Sean was so great in this episode. He’s always been my favorite.
Karmen Jackson This episode proves Semma should of been endgame their love was really strong.
“Toby, this is the one time that I actually wanna be in school”. Anybody got the chills when he said that?😨 They better watch out!!
Yeah I would've taken that as a hint to gtfo
The way Sean looks at Emma when Rick is confronting her...my heart!
Aeryn Aguilar ❤️Semma❤️
They don’t make quality teen shows like degrassi anymore. I don’t care how outdated it’ll be I’m making my kids watch the whole series
Why would rick even believe spinner & jay... like really.
I appreciate Paige’s character development
Sam Brooks IKR right really smart
Jay was actually the worst person
Wait til you see his character development
I started crying when hazel found out
Ari 4life her acting was terrible. Always was.
nah. nope. no.
Prima Donna Nay 😑🙄
Yeah that scene was p cheesy though. Why would the counselor feel the need to tell HER at that exact moment? A little over the top.
Tiffani Carter you wouldn't think it was so cheesy if it happened to your boyfriend
Mr. Simpson was right about Mr. Ratish.... it was partially his fault.
AllThings BriJanelle Raditch*
Emily Schmitz all this time.... 🤷🏽♀️
AllThings BriJanelle it’s was COMPLETELY his fault
This is why Simpson made such a better principal.
Greywind Ghost IKR
My ♥ goes out to Toby in this episode. His best friend dumps him for the cool kids so he makes a friend in Rick, but he ends up dying.
Kevin Riley I know! Not enough people mention how much this sucked for Toby who just wanted a friend and not like the ones he had that felt that they were too good for him half of the time
don't forget toby also was friends with jimmy when he visted Ashley always showing up heck even if its low key now they remade up in lean on me...so for him its double bad ...he has no guilt...but its such a bad situation for him
Toby screaming “stop” messed me up worse than Jimmy’s cry did
The actor that portrayed Rick did such an amazing job. He truly made me feel so many emotions while watching his episodes.
Craig and Spinner’s reactions always make me cry the most 😭
degrassi is seriously such an underrated show. one of the most powerful episodes in tv history- everything is done so well.
Degrassi. It goes there.
wow forgot about that
That was not supposed to be funny lol
I LOVE.YOUR CHANNEL DUDE
I just like how everybody was so mean to him but when he shot the school everybody was playing victim like they didn't do nothing
I don’t understand why they came and told Hazel about Jimmy like he was her brother or something. I’ve never seen that happen before.
Any redeemable qualities that Spinner had disappeared in this episode
Rick clutching that backpack going back into Degrassi after going back home should have been the biggest red flag. Where were the teachers? Why didn’t they talk to him?
MorganBrenner I don't know but you know who was the worst Mr. Ratchet or whatever they call definition of bad principal
The way Sean protected Emma I just knew they b together later on
Tati King I liked how her held her arm the whole time.
I'll always remember this ep. Tv history.
Both comments with over 100 likes gg brother
400th like!
I remember watching this episode when it originally aired. At the end of the episode I remember Jimmy doing a public service announcement about bullying. Does anyone else recall that?
I think I remember this
I do
Yes
Yep
JT was never a good friend to Toby. Toby was so sweet and deserved better friends.
punchy9214 as much as I love JT that’s so true Toby needs more friends that are better. JT and Toby used to be tight but now JT is tryna be all cool and ditching Toby
This ep had a big impact on teen me. If this was filmed now it'll be less shocking. It's become the norm in America.
Britta Barnes hi
it's not the norm
Britta Barnes ricky was a trend setter
high school shootings were happening before this episode aired
Britta Barnes yuuu
archie should’ve always been the principal. no doubt
Mackenzie Wells IKR
all I could think of was “mmm whatcha say” during /that/ scene
Fabina4190 yea
Fabina4190 lollll
Lmao
Bahahaha yaas
Rule number 1
*Don’t run in a straight line*
Jimmy really was the best character on this show
He didn't deserve this
I hope Spinner and Jay feel bad because it's actually their fault
Shelby Paris it was clear spinner did
jimmy was his friend since like pre school that's why...
jay was jealous of jimmy so he never did
He was always my favorite character because he had the least drama associated with him. He was a fun, cool and mostly down-to-earth guy, albeit a little cocky at times
Spinner does
I think we’re all a little “upset” now 😬😂
This episode changed my life and really made me appreciate DeGrassi for being so raw and authentic.
It’s all spinner fault 😠
Nerlinda Jean But it would of never happened if Jay and Spinner hadn't pretend that Jimmy came up with the plan. The reason why he shot him is because he was convinced Jimmy had done that to him
SOCIO jimmy was trying to be his friend spinner and them did it on purpose so he can get mad at jimmy
Not all Spinner -_- he definitely played a huge role but not all Spinner...example you forgot Jay it was actually his idea Spinner's dumbass just went along with it
A Harris but if him and jay (i think thats his name) this would not happen cuz when they were in the restroom
It's Rick's fault.
Why am I screaming RUN JIMMY even though I’ve seen this episode 1000000 times 😭😭😭
Also why am I crying
This has scared me since I was a child, I get chills just thinking about this episode. It taught me to be nice to everyone no matter how weird or rude they might be.
There principal was the worst. If he had stepped in none of this would have happened.
Hannah Patterson IKR
Everyone is running for their lives but let’s be stupid and run the opposite way to see why people are running away 🙄
even after all these years, this episode still makes my throat tight and cry :'(
I love this series ... but I dread this ep .. Jay and spinner are so childish and immature. I bet if they would've known the consequences of their conversation in the bathroom they would've thought twice
brittney robinson omg you’re so smart
This is why parents need to teach their kids that it’s not okay to bully people and schools need to do a better job of punishing students that are bullying. Schools say they have a anti bullying policy but they don’t follow up on it and instead allow the popular kids to bully and treat other students horribly.
I’m so upset jimmy is such a good person he didn’t deserve what happened to him :(
I will always remember the impact of this episode, after this episode it seemed like everything really changed at Degrassi
I’m glad I was born in 93’ and watched all of it. I came after watching im upset ✊🏼
25 💪😁
Who came here after watching I’m upset ,man I grew up on this show I was down for this drama
Jimmy boys running after rick was something iconic
GÄBBŸ 100 percent agree
How did they not hear the gun shots? 😒
Kels K They did
Janaka no they didn’t Paige says “ my mom heard there was a shooting” when they were in isolation in the classroom
Aww Sean really loves Emma ❤️❤️🌺
Nerlinda Jean I mean, I would jump infront of the person I love not hide behind him/her. As Sean did.
I think he would have done that for anyone. Sean is a good guy.
When I saw this episode for the first time, I was scared this might occur in a school. I saw this when I was in 6th Grade.
xBroken_Truths haha I feel yu I was onda look out for white kids that looked like Rick
Ha you were right about that
Used to be this kid at my old high school who had long hair and glasses who ate lunch alone and wore a trenchcoat everyday
@@ABSolom39 cant trust the trenchcoats
@Marie Yonhorn i know right im a teenager and my school is teaching us about what to do if it happens its scary
Why did Jimmy have to get shot 😭
It's amazing how different Spinner is by the end of his time on Degrassi....
It amazes me how years later, this episode still gives me chills. I'll never forget watching it for the first time.
This was such an intense episode honestly. I remember watching it for the first time and just feeling so terrified the entire episode! Just the atmosphere and feeling gets you all worked up, and gives you that nerve wracking feeling
bro couldn't take a shower and chill for a few hours at home?
von Hessen you’re undermining what he went through
I'm still wondering what would've happened if Paige hadn't apoligized
I cried SO hard as a teen watching this.... I felt it...
9:14 sees kids running then goes toward the direction they were running from. they would never survive a horror film.
Hazel's reaction made me cry the most :(((
joey im sorry i dont care about your house
desiree IKR who the heck cares
How did Paige and Hazel and the other kids at that school not know a shooting just occurred???
Probably were on the other side of the school and didn't hear it
In these instances they usually don't tell you. My high school had some bomb scares but we didn't know until we were finally dismissed
Ryan L. They was on lockdown.
hottyloxie yeah a lockdown while Rick going to shoot Jimmy..
Thank god this is in HD. The ones from the random uploads had crappy video quality.
On a whole different note, I never understood why they didn't let the Angela character come to Degrassi as Angela. They let Alex Steele (who portrayed Angela) come back to Degrassi as a whole new character.
Chica Loca if they brought Angie back, they would have to bring Joey back too. And the actor who played Joey had no interest in coming back.
Stoneman180190 actually there's no need to get Joey back but let small Angela be grown up Angela...A few lines in later episodes of how things get going with Joey would be enough...
NOOOO DRAKE I MEAN JIMMY
Spinner was wearing the same old sweater Jimmy made fun of him for wearing ages ago.
Pusha T hired rick to shoot drake
Willam O'Brien lmao
Bro stop 😂😂😂
💀
😂😂
I’m Upset
Theometrical video bought back memorys
Jackson Dowden so offended that I had to double check
A ghetto Christmas carol
The best episode ever
Degrassi was already on the map as legendary and they still upped the bar
Chills when I heard Craig say jimmy when he was on the floor
I remember when my sister watched this episode and cried about what happened. Around the time it had aired I was too young to understand what happened and what was really going on. This episode was such a big deal because no one had ever thought that a young adult television would go so far into talking about a situation like this.

This episode perfectly executes a school shooting situation to a tee, and I'm happy that Degrassi went the extra mile to talking about it.
Drake should’ve gotten a Gemini award for his performance in this episode
I remember watching this episode for the first time. This had me shook to the core.
I know Rick wasn't all there but did he really think nobody would notice he was in the bathroom?
Sean saved Emma
Easily one of the top 3 saddest Degrassi episodes....
That ending song really got me crying rn
Paige was such a great friend, she was always there when they friends need her. And give it advice to the others.
