Ep 6. The Mating Game

The Mating Game is the sixth episode of the first season of Degrassi, a Canadian teen drama television series. The show follows the lives of a group of high school students as they navigate their way through the trials and tribulations of adolescence including topics such as sexuality, drug use, and other real-life issues that teens face.

In this particular episode, the theme revolves around love and relationships. The students of Degrassi are preparing for the upcoming school dance, and everyone is looking for a partner. The Mating Game is a classic high school ritual where the boys and girls of Degrassi are matched by a computer program that uses a questionnaire to determine who would be the best match for each other.

The episode begins with the classroom computer being wheeled into the classroom, and everyone is excited to take the questionnaire. Paige, who is one of the most popular girls in school, takes charge and begins to read off the questions to the class. The questions are typical of any high school mating quiz and include questions such as favorite color, favorite food, and favorite hobbies.

While the students are filling out their questionnaire, Snake, the school’s media teacher, walks in and accidentally disrupts the session. He asks the students to take their questionnaire home and complete it on their own time.

The following day, the students return to school to find out who their matches are. Emma, one of the main characters in the show, is thrilled to find out that her match is Sean, the new bad boy in school. However, Sean is not too thrilled about the match and tells Emma that he has no interest in dating anyone. Emma takes this as a challenge and begins to pursue Sean.

Meanwhile, Paige is disappointed to find out that her match is Spinner, a class clown who she views as beneath her. However, when she sees how hurt Spinner is, she begins to take an interest in him.

The Mating Game is not without its drama as well. Ashley, Emma’s best friend, is shocked to find out that her match is Toby, a boy who she views as nothing more than a friend. She is torn between the idea of going to the dance with her friend and the pressure to have a male date.

The episode ends with everyone getting ready for the dance. Emma and Sean arrive together, but their date quickly turns sour when Emma realizes that Sean is not interested in her. Paige and Spinner, on the other hand, are having a great time together and end up kissing on the dance floor.

The Mating Game is a classic high school story that explores the endless possibilities of love and relationships. The episode is filled with both comedy and drama, making it a perfect addition to any teen drama collection.
