She gets distracted and then walks into a board that Drew and Dallas were working on. Tristan is excited that Maya would be his new BFF since Tori and her family moved away. They get into the classroom where the meeting is alongside many people such as Alli and Jenna. Then suddenly, the new girl Zoe, who happens to be the star of the show West Drive, appears.

Then Clare begins to wonder if she should then takes a picture of lingerie in a store then sends it to Eli asking if it would look good on her. Later, Clare calls Eli and he answers thinking that it was Bret calling but is happy when he realizes that it is Clare. She asks him if it is bad time and he says it's never a bad time for her. Clare asks if he has seen the picture that she sent him and he says yes and if she is implying something. She says in order for her to not miss him that much, they should do something sexy. He asks what she has in mind and she says video chat sex. Eli is shocked but agrees and says they should do it later when he isn't busy. Clare asks if 10 o' clock is fine and he says yes and Clare is happy.

Clare and Eli are online starting their video chat. They begin to strip when Clare's mom knocks on her door and says that the hospital called. Eli asks if anything is wrong and Clare says it's probably nothing and goes to talk to her mom. When she talks to her mom, she finds out that she has cancer.

He quickly respond and says he is coming home. Clare tells him not to and if he does, she will be mad. Eli tells Clare he loves her and Clare says she knows and that she will be fine.

During her stay at the hospital, Clare's strength crumbles. She packs up her things and begins to leave the hospital. Before she leaves, Clare stops outside her room and goes to sit in a corner to call Eli. Clare leaves a message for Eli and tells him that she knows she told him not to come back home, but asks him to return anyway and that she's scared.

(-25 points for Becky) Becky asks Adam to go to a private area and while Becky is pulling him away, he turns around and thanks Imogen for whatever she said to Becky since he gets to make out with her.

Thoughts
Overall, I am sad that Clare is ill and has cancer. I really hope she can pull through even though I never really liked her. I also feel bad for Eli, Alli and the rest of Clare's friends. As far as Maya is concerned, meh. I never really enjoyed her either. I liked her with Cam, but now that he committed suicide, she's pretty much alone as far as relationships go. I LOVE Miles. He is so cute and he's not as much of a jerk as I thought he was going to be. He's sweet and caring. Winston is annoying me and I don't think I'll like him as the season goes on. Zoe is a major bitch to Maya and is trying to steal Tristan away from her. It was also hinted at the end of the episode she has a crush on Miles and wants Maya to stay away from him. Although i really like Tristan, what he did in this episode was really mean.

Adam and Imogen need to stick together. Just as I was starting to like Becky, she does something like that to fuck it up. Imogen clearly likes Adam, but Adam is with Becky, so bleh. I'm sad that her and Fiona broke up, but what can ya do? I think Imogen should get someone else because if she starts messing around with Adam, Becky will be PISSED.

Drew is as hot as ever, yummy. Dallas is cool, too, but they weren't really shown at all in this episode. Connor and Jenna weren't really shown, either. (Not that I'm complaining). Paris, here we come!

"Summertime" has a good season premiere, but it was lacking something. I'm not sure what though.

Episode Summary
The group of Degrassi students finally land in Paris, leaving everyone excited. Tristan, Miles, and Winston are rooming together, as are Maya, Zoë, and Alli. While in their room, Tristan lets his eyes wander to his roommate, Miles, who makes a comment to him about a picture lasting longer. (+10 shirtless points for Miles) Tristan claims he was thinking of his girlfriend, and when Maya walks in, he announces that she is his girlfriend. Maya goes along with the ruse for now. (-10 points for Tristan; he and Maya are not believable at all)

Tristan brings Maya flowers (+5 points for Tristan; how cute!), and she angrily pulls him aside, while Winston, Zoe, and Miles watch. Tristan tells her that she is not breaking up with him and begs her to go with it, but Maya claims she doesn't want to pretend to be his girlfriend all summer. Tristan reveals that he doesn't think he will have a good summer if Winston and Miles find out he is gay since they won't be comfortable around him. Winston and Miles call over to the pair, teasing Tristan, and Maya kisses Tristan to "go with it", leaving Tristan to remark, "ew." at the kiss. (-10 points for both Tristan and Maya; just no)

Tristan puts up a privacy screen over his bed so that neither Winston or Miles would feel uncomfortable. (-5 points for Tristan; is they were homophobic, Tristan should've stood his ground) Miles claims they were just joking around, but Tristan says that it is bullying and tells him they should just avoid each other for now. Tristan later comes back to the room to find a mint on his pillow and his privacy screen taken down. (+25 points for Miles, I love him) He thinks it is a prank until Miles comes in and tells him that he doesn't need the screen. Tristan accuses him and Winston of laughing at him, but Miles reveals they were laughing because they knew he was gay and he was awkwardly trying to pretend to be straight. Miles tells Tristan that he is happy they are roommates, and he takes off his shirt and hugs Tristan, to show he is comfortable with Tristan's sexuality. Tristan smiles as Miles leaves. (+100 points for both Miles and Tristan, THIS WAS THE BEST PART OF THE EPISODE)

Alli surprises Connor and Jenna with a cutout of Clare's head, explaining that they could still show "Clare" the landmarks of Paris. (+25 points for Alli; she was hilarious) Jenna asks how Clare is doing with her cancer, and Alli says she is doing well, calling her a trooper. Alli tries to decide on a place where she can find cute boys, but Connor and Jenna already have plans to visit the Eiffel Tower, and tickets are sold out, so Alli is unable to go with them. Alli encourages them to go without her, and Jenna and Connor only leave after Jenna makes sure that Alli will be okay by herself.

Alli approaches Zoe, Winston, and a group of their friends, asking if any of them want to go on an adventure. Winston in French asks Alli if she would like to sleep with him upon a dare by Zoe. (-15 points for Winston... just stop) Alli tells them they need to get out more, and Winston says they are going out to get burgers and fries and Zoe also says they are going to go shopping at H&M. Alli tries to tag along, but Zoe asks her if she has her own friends, and Alli tells them to go have fun. Alli is left alone with the Clare cardboard cutout. (-20 bitchy points for Zoë)

Alli decides to walk around Paris by herself, but she quickly gets lost. She asks a French woman for directions, but is unable to understand her French. Alli's heel then breaks, and her hand lands in dog feces. Alli continues to walk on, talking to Clare's head cutout, and finally is able to find the Eiffel Towel. She marvels at its beauty, and hobbles toward it. (+20 points for Alli)

Alli takes a picture with Clare's head with the Eiffel tower in the background. She asks a random man to take another picture for her, and he tries to steal her phone until another man, Leo, is able to successfully stop him.

While in Clare's hospital room, Eli and Clare are watching television, until Clare gets freaked out by Zoe's plot on West Drive about her dying. They turn off the tv and decide to make out instead, but Clare is surprised when she realizes her hair is falling out. (+10 sympathy points for both Clare and Eli) A nurse interrupts them to take Clare to group therapy, where Clare meets Paula, who plants the seeds of doubt that Eli will leave her, as Paula's ex-boyfriend did to her since "he wanted a girlfriend, not a patient." Paula urges Clare to shave her head now since it is the only form of control she has.

Adam comes to visit Clare in the hospital, and she is happy to see him. Adam mistakenly reveals that Eli sent out an email with six tips upon how to act when visiting her in the hospital. Eli at that moment walks in with a smoothie for Clare, and quickly realizes something is wrong. Clare is angry that he is telling people how to act around her, and she yells that she doesn't want to be a cancer patient, which causes more of her hair to fall out. Eli tells her he brought her clippers if she wanted to shave her head to help her be in control, but Clare firmly tells him that she is in control. She then claims she is tired, and Adam and Eli leave. Clare then proceeds to shave her hair off.

After she has finished shaving her head, she is now bald. Drew and Adam come to visit her, and both are shocked at Clare's new appearance. Clare tells them that she doesn't want Eli to see her like this, and Adam brings in Imogen to help Clare find the perfect wig. (+15 points for Adam, Drew, and Imogen; they tried) They try on a few until Clare finds a blonde wig that she likes. Clare dresses up for her night with Eli, but a nurse steps into the room before Eli gets here and gives Clare papers for her mother for her to get a MRI. Eli arrives and loves how Clare looks, and they kiss. Eli and Clare cuddle on the couch, and Eli assures Clare that she is still Clare Edwards, even if she also now a cancer patient. (+10 points for Eli)

(-10 points for Dallas, Katie, Dave and Zig for not appearing) (-20 points for both Connor and Jenna; they're just there...)

Thoughts
Miles and Tristan were so cute in the episode. PLEASE WRITERS, make them a pairing! That kiss between Maya and Tristan was... ergh. Winston is getting more and more annoying... sigh. Zoë was such a bitch to Alli. I feel bad for her. Give her a break, her BFF is in the hospital with cancer! She was hilarious in this episode, though. Her new beau isn't ugly, either. ;)

I want to like Zoë for her bitchiness, but she's acting like she's hot shit even though she's a freshman. Another questions that I'm still asking is where the hell is ZIG?! The writers better not pull the "disappearing act" again; I really like Zig! Having Becky and Luke not there makes sense. At least they have a reason for being gone. Zig doesn't, or at least one that isn't known. One thing I'm not liking with this season is the forced Eclare every episode. I get it, Clare has cancer and Eli is being a perfect boyfriend by being there for her but I don't know, there's something about it that's not striking well with me. Him texting everyone how to act around Clare was a little WTF but oh well. OMGOMGOMGMGOGMO Miles being fine with Tristan's homosexuality is PERFECT!! I will say it again, PLEASE MAKE TILES CANON. PLEASE.I'm really angry at how low Tristan's rank is, but he isn't doing what I want him to! He's hastily making decisions that never work, and I think that kiss with Miles is going to be one of them.
