Ep 7. The All-Nighter

The All-Nighter is the seventh episode of the second season of Degrassi High. This episode is all about keeping up with the demands of high school and the stress that comes along with it.

The episode opens with a few of the main characters, including Joey, Caitlin, and Wheels, studying for final exams. However, as the night goes on, they quickly realize they won't be able to complete all their studying in time for the next day's exams. They decide to stay up all night studying - an all-nighter.

As the night progresses, their levels of tiredness and stress increase. Joey, in particular, starts to feel the pressure and becomes increasingly frantic about his upcoming exams. Caitlin, on the other hand, seems more focused, but she is still unable to shake off the stress of exam week. Meanwhile, Wheels is just trying to keep up and stay supportive of his friends.

As expected, the all-nighter takes a toll on all of their emotions and leaves them feeling irritable and frustrated. They start to snap at each other and take out their anxiety on those around them.

Throughout the episode, we see other characters experiencing their own exam week stress. Lucy struggles to complete a project, while Snake, Irene, and Bartholomew are all dealing with the pressure of exams in their own ways.

As morning approaches, Joey is still in a frantic state and seems convinced that he is going to fail his exams. This leads to an emotional scene where he breaks down in front of his friends, revealing that he is feeling a lot of pressure from both his father and himself. Caitlin offers him some comfort and teaches him how to take a moment for himself and breathe.

Finally, the time for exams arrives, and we see all the characters, both main and secondary, sitting down to take their tests. The weight of the week's stress is palpable as they try to stay focused and calm.

Overall, The All-Nighter is a valuable episode that shows the challenges teenagers may face during exam week. The episode depicts the importance of taking care of yourself and the power of friendship during tough times. It reminds us all that while exams are important, our mental health should take priority.
