Description

We've finally done it! This episode marks the end of our coverage of The Next Generation and Next Class that we started nearly 3 years ago, and how fitting for our longest episode yet! We wrap up the character arcs of Grace, Maya, and Zig, mourn what could have been of Esme's arc, gush over how heartbreaking but poignant Maya's journey has been, relish in the chaos that Esme brings everywhere she goes, try and understand Grace & Jonah, and say goodbye as Maya & Zig drive off into the sunset. Stay tuned for our "modern Degrassi" retrospective coming soon! General TW for discussions of suicide, depression, and death.
