Degrassi/Recap/S10/E22 Purple Pills
I'm at rave
Looking like a slave
High off chronic
Gin and tonic demonic
Body smelt like vomit
Pussy poppin', acid droppin', dope heavy guy
Heroine mescaline pencil leads
wanna try?
A Plot
Fiona is still self-medicating with booze, and hiding it from her mother. She thinks she's got the deposition covered, and not afraid of Bobby's defense lawyer nicknamed "Great White." At the taped deposition, Fiona gets drunk off her ass, and yells at the defense lawyer and calls her a bitch. Mrs. Coyne discovers she's drinking and is furious. But Fiona is beyond reaching and she storms out of apartment, postponing the deposition.
At Degrassi, Fiona and Holly J are study and Holly J observes she is drunk and determines she was drunk at her deposition. Fiona says she going to drop the charges saying she cannot handle the stress and Holly J mentions there could be other girls that might get hurt by him. Fiona shrugs off her words, but just then Mrs. Coyne walks in and grabs Fiona. They argue it out for a while and Mrs. Coyne says it's partially her fault for Fiona getting hurt mainly because she pushed them together. Mrs. Coyne can't let it go, but then Fiona claims Bobby never hit her and she made it all up because she's crazy. She wants to be left alone so she can be normal.
Inside, Fiona grabs her alcohol bottle and drinks. During her exam, she can barely concentrate and doesn't complete her test. She stumbles around and passes out on a table. Holly J drags her home and makes her watch Bobby's deposition in order to stamp it in her head on how much she needs to face him. Fiona is unsure, and says maybe she deserved it. Holly J says she doesn't deserve to be hit and hands her the prescription. Fiona is now done with the alcohol self-medicating and faces off against the defense lawyer and handles her beautifully.
