"Clare: What do you do when life hands you lemons? Alli: You throw them at Chantay!"
— Alli and Clare in 99 Problems (1).

The friendship between Alli Bhandari and Clare Edwards is known as Clalli (Clare/Alli). It formed at the beginning of Season 8 on their first day of school, in Degrassi: The Next Generation.


Friendship History[]

Overview[]

The two were incoming freshman at Degrassi, and connected being that they were both in the gifted program. Despite several rough patches, they remained best friends until the summer after their sophomore year when Alli kissed Jake Martin, Clare's recent ex-boyfriend and stepbrother, for whom she still had feelings for, in the woods outside of Jake's cabin. Clare witnessed the kiss therefore cutting off their friendship. The two went on to completely avoid each other for the first semester of their junior year. However, they reconciled in In the Cold, Cold Night (1), when Alli, although hesitant, decided to help Clare finish writing the holiday edition of The Degrassi Daily along with their friend group from grade nine. They appear to have completely mended their friendship as of the Season 12 premiere.

Season 8[]

Mr. Simpson introduces Connor to Clare and Alli

In Uptown Girl (1), Alli and Clare are part of the Gifted Program at Degrassi for bright young students, along with K.C. Guthrie and Connor DeLaurier. Darcy and Sav introduce Alli to Clare upon arriving at the school. After Sav and Darcy leave, Connor is dropped off by Mr. Simpson and Alli looks Clare up and down, most likely noticing her Catholic school uniform.

In Uptown Girl (2), Darcy and Clare walk to school and K.C. helps Clare with a book when she falls on the steps. Darcy says if she didn't wear the uniform she might attract boys like him. Clare says she came to Degrassi to learn, not for boys. Darcy says she should be more like Sav's sister Alli so she can fit in. Later, Clare and Connor are eating lunch in the cafeteria and Connor is telling Clare about a formula when Alli walks up and asks what they're doing. Connor ignores her and keeps going. Clare tells her that he's explaining fireworks to her. K.C. joins them and challenges Clare to take the mic. She does and sings a hymn until she is booed offstage, as K.C. looks on, uncomfortable. Behind him, Alli is laughing. The next day, The Shep tells the gifted class that they can't eat by the computers and singles Clare out for doing so and suggests eating in the cafeteria. After Shep leaves, Alli says it's because the cafeteria has such entertainment, alluding to Clare singing the hymn. The whole class laughs besides K.C. and Connor and Clare runs out, embarrassed. Alli looks a little ashamed but laughs it off. After K.C. apologizes to Clare, the next day, Connor and Clare find that people have taken their lunch table, which Clare notices Connor is very fixated on. Clare asks K.C. if they can sit with him and he invites them with a smile. Connor says it's not their table and Clare smiles as he reluctantly sits down. Alli sits next to them too and tells Clare to not sing. Clare promises she will not sing in the cafeteria again. K.C. tells her he liked it and she smiles.

In Fight the Power, Clare and Alli cheer Jane on at her football game with Spinner, who teaches them some football terms. Later that night they attend Peter's party together. While they play video games on his TV, Alli tells Peter that high school parties are awesome and Clare thanks him for inviting them. Clare tells him she's sure Darcy wishes she was there. He grumbles that he's sure she does. Two days later, Clare and Alli tell Jane that she made a great "reception," using the vocabulary that Spinner taught them. Clare adds that they are getting girls together to make posters for Jane's next game. When Jane says there might not be a next game, Clare tells her she can't quit and Alli adds that she is their hero for being the only girl on the football team. Jane is unsure and they look sadly at her before leaving her with a present Darcy sent her from Africa.

Alli and Clare examine Spike's vibrator.

In Man With Two Hearts, the minor niners are getting their robot ready for competition. As Clare is fixing wires, Alli asks K.C. if he wears boxers or briefs for a magazine quiz and at that moment, Clare makes the robot shoot sparks. Alli jokes that Clare's getting all flustered at the mention of undergarments. Clare says she's not the one talking about underwear in media immersion. They all decide to prep their robot at Connor's house since Alli complains it's been at Clare's house every other time. Alli goes up to Clare once the boys leave and she tells her to not be mad because she was only kidding about her being a prude... or at least a total prude. Clare gives her a look and then Alli asks if all is forgiven. Clare responds "Isn't it always?" Alli smiles and turns away but Clare looks sad. As they begin work on the robot, Connor notes that it isn't turning left as it's supposed to. Clare says they'll have to break it open and start from scratch. As K.C. and Connor leave to get snacks, Clare asks for directions to the restroom. Alli follows her and suggests they snoop around in Simpson's room. Clare says she can't go in there but Alli asks if she's not curious. Alli takes a pen from Clare's bag and feigns that she dropped her pen. As she crawls on the floor, she finds a vibrator under the bed. Spike catches them and while they panic, Alli puts the vibrator in Clare's bag. Spike says she knows what it is like to be 14 and curious, not noticing them taking her vibrator. The two girls are curious about the vibrator and decide to bring it to school the next day. They're in the bathroom stall and Clare tries to return it to Alli, saying she doesn't want it. Alli asks what if she's with a guy and she wants him to get her one. Clare says that won't happen because she's not having sex until she's married and she'd never marry someone who wanted to own a thing like that. Alli opens it and turns it on. As Clare grows uncomfortable, Alli tells her to pretend it's a robot. They watch it vibrate for a beat and Clare asks if that's all it does and asks how it's a sex toy. Alli asks if she really doesn't know and Clare looks shyly at her. As Alli tries to hand it to Clare, Clare drops it and it rolls under the stall door. Alli and Clare panic and exchange looks as they see someone pick it up. The person knocks and they open the door to see Jane, who returns it to them, and reveals that it's normal to engage in "solo sex." Later in class, Connor trips over Clare's bag and the sex toy vibrates in front of the whole class. Mr. Armstrong tells Clare that she knows the rule, no cell phones in class. Clare quietly responds by saying she doesn't have a cell phone. Armstrong pulls the vibrator out, the class laughs, but Alli improvises (stammering over her words) and says it's a robot for their project. Armstrong asks when she thought he was born and Alli says back, "depends...how old are you?" getting the class to crack up. Clare is still very embarrassed by the topic. The next day, Clare and Alli discuss what happened when Clare's mom had a conversation with her. Alli asks if she's ever tried it and Clare decides to not share that information. Alli asks if there's nothing wrong with doing it then why can't they talk about it and Clare says she doesn't know. Holly J. comes up to Clare and says "little early for sex toys, Little Edwards? What would Jesus say?" Clare responds "that masturbation is completely normal and there's nothing to be ashamed about." Holly J. says, "really?" As Clare walks away she says "and if you tried it once in a while, maybe you wouldn't be so mean," which makes everybody around them laugh. Holly J. gets offended and walks away.

In Lost in Love (1), Alli tells Connor that K.C. is giving Clare a rose. Clare and Alli are later seen sitting next to each other in class as Clare receives a rose from both Connor and K.C. Alli is surprised and excited to receive one herself soon after, though it is blank. Later she and the other minor niners are working on their robot in the hallway. Something goes wrong with the robot and Clare and Connor go up to it to troubleshoot when Connor suggests the problem is the tread on the claw. K.C. disagrees and says it's the arm and motor. They go back and forth until Clare asks why they're acting like idiots. Alli says it's because she hasn't decided who is taking her to the dance. Clare pauses and says she won't go. Later Alli tells K.C. that robots aren't the only way to a girl's heart. He says he gave her a rose but asks what more is there to do. She says he has to but himself out there and take a risk while looking at Johnny.

In Lost in Love (2), Clare and the other minor niners are at the robot competition wherein Toby Isaacs is the announcer. As Mr. Simpson asks if they're ready, K.C. smiles and says hi to Clare. She greets him back. Simpson looks between them awkwardly after their exchange and asks Clare if she's with them. Alli says she and Clare need a moment to "discuss strategy" and pulls her aside. She says she thought they weren't letting their hormones get in the way of bot wars. Clare says it's complicated and Alli says she'll simplify. She says "you like K.C., K.C. likes you; go to the dance with him." Clare starts to mention Connor but Alli says he will get over it. Alli walks off. As the competition starts, Clare tells her group to show the crowd what they are made of. K.C. grabs her hand and tells her good luck. Connor sees this and grabs Alli's wrist and repeats what K.C. said. Alli pulls her hand away and tells him to not be disgusting. Connor says that K.C. squeezed Clare's hand but Alli says it's because she's going to the dance with him. Connor asks Clare if it's true and Clare says not now because the competition is starting. Connor continues by saying he asked her and that he was her friend first. He adds that he's way better at robots than K.C. Clare says they'll talk about it after the round. As Degrassi starts losing the match, K.C. asks what Connor's problem is and he runs off. Clare gets mad at K.C. and runs to follow Connor. The next round is on and the niners work together again. Clare runs to Alli's side and Alli asks if she's really not going to the dance with K.C. Clare asks if she's really asking about the dance right now. Degrassi wins third place and they all smile. Connor uses the robot to ask Clare to go to the dance with him just as they win and the crowd cheers her on. She looks overwhelmed and says okay. Connor cheers and K.C. looks upset.

In Causing a Commotion, the minor niners enter the media immersion room and notice Connor has a lamp by his desk. He explains that it helps his eyes. Alli comments that it makes them look like freaks. The Shep enters the room to ask the favor of making his principal of the year video of quotes from students. Alli and K.C. volunteer. As Shep walks across the classroom, he trips on the lamp cord. Shep tells Connor it's a hazard and that he must have a doctor's note if he needs it so bad. Since he doesn't, the Shep tells him to try to be a little more normal. Clare comes to his defense, saying she thinks Connor should keep his lamp because he needs it. Shep says it would be unfair to let one student have one and no others because they can't have preferential treatment. Clare responds that's true unless he's a football player. Some of the class whispers at the comment. Shep gives her detention. She says he can't give her a detention for having a point of view and he says he can because he's the principal. While Alli films Clare for the principal of the year video, Clare says that he said to "be more normal" to Connor. She asks the camera if that's the advice principal of the year should give his students. Alli shuts it off and says the video is supposed to show why Shep does deserve the award. Clare says he doesn't. Alli asks if she's still on about the lamp and Clare says it's not about the lamp; it's about individual differences. Alli asks if she's gonna protest and Clare smiles at the idea. Alli asks again but Derek and Bruce show up and take Alli's camera. She takes it back as K.C. walks up behind Clare and Alli and says to buy their own. They walk away, saying "whatever" and pushing him. This gives Clare the idea to take down Shep as a group. Alli asks if one detention wasn't enough. Later, Clare puts lamps at everyone's desks. Alli tells her she's about to get everyone in trouble. Shep, with Simpson in tow, walks in and asks how the video is going. He looks around and sees the lamps. He gets mad and asks what he said yesterday. Clare says he said he couldn't make an exception for one student. As she says this, Mr. Simpson proudly smiles. Shep looks back at him and his smile fades. Clare says he doesn't have to make an exception now. Shep orders everyone to take the lamps off their desks. No one does anything and Clare says not unless Connor can keep his. Shep says there's no room for negotiation and repeats his demand. No one does it so he gives them all detention. The class, especially K.C. looks upset and Shep says to be sure to thank Miss Edwards. Simpson looks uncomfortable and Alli says "nice one, Saint Clare." Clare's anger towards Shep grows. Later, in detention with the rest of the gifted class, Connor taps his pencil and annoys everyone, especially Alli. Clare tells Alli that they could involve the school board about Shep. Alli tells her that they need to serve this detention first. Mr. Perino gets a call and leaves the room. After Alli tells Connor to stop tapping and he doesn't, she gets up and tells him to stop. Clare tells her to leave him alone but she takes his pencil. Connor spits on her and this causes Alli to call him a freak and break his pencil, sending him into a rage. He pushes her to the ground and runs away after Perino says he's in trouble. Clare follows him out of the room. Clare waits outside the principal's office and K.C. comes up to her and tells her that Alli is okay, not that she would care. She asks what that is supposed to mean. He says he knows Connor is her friend but she can't defend him pushing Alli. She asks if he's ever had his face pushed into a puddle of mud while people stood around and laughed. K.C. looks away. Clare says he wouldn't understand. Just then, Connor shouts that he isn't apologizing to Alli and runs out of the office. Clare and K.C. overheard Simpson assuring Shep that Connor is a good kid but they need to wait for the test results. Shep is hesitant and says he would still expel him because he's a loose cannon. Clare looks on in shock. Shep says he's sorry but his decision is final. Clare's shock morphs into anger. Clare shows up at the Nelson-Simpson household and tells Connor he can't go home as he packs. He says if he's not in gifted at Degrassi his parents won't let him stay. She says they aren't done fighting because they haven't been to the school board or the media about this. She says he just has to apologize for pushing Alli. He says he took her pencil. Clare looks confused as to why he's fixated on that. He shouts that he's a freak and everyone thinks so. He lists Shep, Alli, K.C., and even Mr. Simpson. Later, Alli, K.C. and Shep watch the last cut of the principal of the year video, with Chantay being the most recent to gush about him. Shep says they've done a great job and says they can finish after they shoot his intro. He begins to talk about the honor but Clare walks in, telling him he needs to let Connor come back to Degrassi. He dismisses her and Clare starts to say what will happen if he kicks Connor out but Shep interrupts, saying Degrassi would be better off "with one less of you weirdos." Clare repeats it in the form of a question. She asks if they should kick out everyone who isn't a jock. He responds to not tease him. She says angrily that he's a terrible principal. He responds that she's a little bitch. Clare, K.C., and Alli look at him, shocked. Shep says to Alli and K.C. to forget his intro because he'll do it live and he walks out. Alli walks over to Clare and asks if she's trying to get expelled. She responds that if that man runs the school she doesn't care. K.C. touches the camera that has been rolling the whole time and suggests they show the school the real principal of the year. Alli and Clare smile at each other. The ceremony is about to start and Alli, Clare , and K.C. hand a DVD to the stage hand. The Shep starts his speech and directs attention to the screen behind him. It immediately cuts to his conversation with Clare and ends with him calling her a little bitch. As allies like Danny, Sav, and Jane look on in disgust, Clare courageously stands up and asks the crowd if they think he still deserves principal of the year, "someone who thinks Degrassi would be better off without kids who are a little different." K.C. stands with her and says "we don't." Alli stands with them. Jane is the fourth to stand. She looks at Shep and says, hauntingly, "you know why." Students get up and start tearing down Shep's signs yelling, "no more Shep!" Clare walks down the front steps of Degrassi in wonder with K.C. The president of the school board comes up to Clare and says she hears she's responsible for this. Clare says she is and the woman asks her to explain. Clare says it all started with a desk lamp. The next day, Mr. Simpson is seen onscreen as he announces he will be acting principal for the next month as Shep attends a "workshop." K.C. is surprised he's not getting fired. Alli turns and says her dad said it's almost impossible for teacher to get fired, even bad ones. And she heard that the "workshop" is actually sensitivity training. Alli looks as Clare walks up, back in her Catholic uniform and asks if she's really back to that. Clare said she changed for the wrong reasons and K.C. smiles and says she looks nice. Mr. Simpson asks Clare, Alli, and K.C. to come to the M.I. room over DTV. They look worried, but once they are there, they find Connor smiling. Clare exclaims that he's back and Connor shows off his newly safety-proofed desk lamp. Simpson says the school board insisted that Connor come back and that he'd learn about social situations with a counselor. Connor adds like knowing when to apologize and Connor apologizes to Alli about pushing her. She says me too. K.C. asks how it feels to have Aspergers and Connor says he's relieved to know it's not his fault that he's the way he is and that he's not a weirdo or the only one. Clare grabs his arm and says that they're all weird but at least he has an excuse. They smile and look at his lamp.

Clare thinks it's a bad idea.

Clare Looks at Alli

Clare is upset with Alli after Holly J. runs out of the cafeteria in embarrassment.

In Heat of the Moment, Alli jokes to Clare that Holly J. is bitter she's off the cheer squad and Holly J. snaps at Alli, telling her to watch her mouth. Alli nervously suggests she uses her free time to find true love. Holly J. says she knows nothing about it but Alli says she has a boyfriend, Johnny. Holly J. embarrasses Alli in front of Clare and Johnny's friends when Johnny doesn't admit to dating Alli. Alli is frustrated with Holly J. for exposing her relationship with Johnny, causing him to break up with her. In retaliation from Holly J.'s humiliation, Alli then goes to a classroom and creates a Facerange group called "I Hate Holly J." After she does, Clare asks if it made her feel better and Alli responds that it does. When Holly J. confronts Alli about the group, saying it's not a big deal and walks away, Clare tells Alli she hurt Holly J.'s feelings. Alli says it's time to turn things up and Clare disapproves. Later, Clare reads what Alli posts and asks her if she'd really like to strangle her. Alli says not literally but Clare asks if she thinks it's okay to post online. Alli asks whose side she's on and Clare admits she gets that Holly J. hurt her but it doesn't mean she has to "up the ante." After being chided by Clare, Alli is greeted by Holly J.'s ex-friends Anya and Chantay who applaud her site and wish they had thought of it. Alli then sees threatening comments about Holly J. from people who had joined her group, and Bruce the Moose gets Holly J.'s attention and leads the whole cafeteria in chanting "I Hate Holly J." This causes Holly J. to storm out of the cafeteria after yelling "like I care what you losers think!" Alli is enthused by all the support she's getting in the cafeteria, but her smile fades when she notices Clare staring disapprovingly at her and Alli shrugs at her before smiling at everyone again.

Jane-says-pt-2-4

Clare tries on new clothes.

In Jane Says (2), Alli barges into school, dressed in sweats. She tells Clare that her parents were cleaning out her closet and found all her school clothes. Meanwhile, Clare is donating Darcy's old clothes to a charity. Alli suggests that Clare wears them, and they try on Darcy's old clothes with Alli encouraging her to go "from saintly to sexy." This garners attention from the boys for Clare, making Alli jealous. K.C. tells Clare he thinks she looks nice in class when she's in Darcy's clothes. Alli gets upset and tells them she's trying to do an equation at the front of class. When Alli proudly finishes a problem, Clare catches a mistake in the equation and corrects it. Alli is obviously mad. Later, K.C. and Alli are by the J.T. Yorke Memorial and Alli complains that Clare is the smartest girl in class and she's pretty too. K.C. agrees Clare is pretty but says it doesn't mean Alli isn't. She asks if that's true then why is Johnny ignoring her. He says that guys are stupid. She adds that she thought he liked her but then dissed her in front of his friends. K.C. tells her to look at him and says that any guy who doesn't tell his friends about her is an idiot. Alli leans in and the two share a kiss. She jumps up and says that was bad, and clarifies that the kiss wasn't, just the act of it. He uncomfortably smiles. She thanks him and leaves. After, Johnny tells her it was all over the Anti-Grapevine and Alli says she already apologized to Clare. Alli finally admits she was jealous, and she and Clare sort their problems out.

In Heart of Glass, when Alli returns home from making out with Johnny, she is furious of the fact she had to leave, and storms off to her room. She then calls Clare and immediately says "I hate my life." The next day, Alli agrees to go to The Ravine, and brings Clare. At the ravine, Alli decided to wear a rather risqué outfit which impressed Johnny's friends. Clare reminds Alli they said they'd be home by seven but Alli has other plans. She tells Clare to go ahead, that she will be fine, and to tell Clare's mom she isn't sleeping over.

The next day, Clare and Alli are outside the school when Clare learns Alli and Johnny had sex after Clare left. Though Clare is surprised, her first question is if they used a condom. Alli is worried it broke or she caught an STD. Clare thinks for a moment and asks if it was like she thought it would be like. Alli responds that the kissing was nice and unconvincingly assures Clare it was perfect and everything she'd expect it to be. An awkward silence fills the air and the girls get back to studying. Later, during the math test, Alli can't focus and tells Mr. Armstrong she isn't feeling well and gets up. Clare looks worried from her seat as her friend rushes off. Alli is in the nurse's office when Clare walks in to check on her. The nurse leaves and Alli says that while the nurse says she's fine, she wishes she wasn't so it could explain why she feels so bad. She turns to lay on the exam bed, facing the wall and with tears in her eyes she admits sex with Johnny was awkward, uncomfortable, and afterwards, she didn't want to touch him. Clare asks if she told him how she feels and Alli says she didn't want him to think she wasn't cool and asks why she did something so special with someone she can't talk to. Clare rubs Alli's shoulder and tells her it's okay and that it's over. Alli adds that she can't take it back and continues to cry.

At the end of the next school day, Clare and Alli walk out, talking about how Alli broke up with Johnny earlier that day. Alli says there are certain things she won't do to be in a relationship. Clare asks if she wants to still be with him and she nods, prompting Clare to tell her to tell him that. Alli wonders if he even wants to be with her anymore and Clare says if that's true then he sucks. They smile and Alli looks back at Johnny. Clare says it's better to know it now and nods her head toward Johnny. Alli takes Clare's advice and goes to talk to him. Later, Alli looks at comments on the Facerange wall, smiling as she reads them a loud to Clare. Alli exclaims that it's better than she's ever dreamed and Clare asks how it's better, saying she ruined someone's life.

Season 9[]

Alli annoyed by jenna04

Alli is suspicious.

In Just Can't Get Enough, Alli is suspicious and jealous of Jenna Middleton because she feels that she is replacing her by being Clare's best friend. She gets upset and when Clare asks what she's doing not sitting next to her in biology class, Alli says she and Jenna make good partners. Jenna sits down with Clare and says "Open wide Clare-bear," ready for their first experiment with cheek swabs. Clare looks confused and hurt at Alli, who brushes off Clare's stare. The next day, Alli asks K.C. where Clare is. He says he thought she was with her and Alli says she isn't and that she won't text her back. K.C. tells her that he just got a message from her wishing him luck with his probation officer, which earns him an odd look from Alli. He tries to cover it by saying that he doesn't have one and walks away. While Jenna teaches Clare some notes on her guitar, Jenna makes a dirty joke and Clare gets slightly embarrassed. Jenna laughs and asks if she wants to have more lessons or work on their assignment tonight but Clare says she usually does a TV/homework night with Alli this day of the week. Jenna sadly understands friendship priorities, but Clare decides to invite her. Later, at Clare's house, Clare is painting Jenna's nails as they talk about their siblings. Alli walks in and is shocked that Jenna is there, showing her disbelief that they have become friends. She tells Clare she's upset that Jenna waltzed into school and stole her best friend. Alli turns to Jenna and adds that she knew she would do it the minute she saw her. Clare interjects and says she guesses what she wants doesn't matter. Jenna pipes in and says she'd love to be friend with both of them. Alli rolls her eyes and smiles, considering it. Later, after Alli gives Jenna a henna tattoo to welcome her "to Degrassi and commemorate a new friendship," Jenna thanks them and admits it was hard moving to a new city. Alli awkwardly says that the niners have to stick together. Jenna, itching for hot gossip, asks Clare and Alli who is "off-limits" and admits to being a boyfriend stealer at her old school which leads both Alli and Clare to become suspicious, repeating her question. Jenna adds that bad boy types are especially her weakness. Alli and Clare look at each other nervously. Alli says she's with Johnny, a senior. Jenna considers this and says he's too old for her. Jenna turns to Clare who says she's with K.C. Jenna squeals and says he's so cute. Once she sees the shock on Clare's face she slowly says "Don't worry Clare-bear, I won't even look at him." This does little to relax Clare's expression except for a quick fake smile before Alli turns to her and sarcastically says "You're right. She is so nice." Jenna smiles, oblivious.

In Shoot to Thrill, Alli is somewhat disgusted when she sees K.C. kiss Clare's cheek at the club fair. Clare asks where Johnny is. Just then, they see Bruce and Johnny bullying Connor in the background. Alli brushes it off, saying everyone has their own hobbies and Clare comments his are much different from hers. Alli comments that the "I hate Johnny routine" is getting old but Clare insists she doesn't hate him; Clare tells Alli she thinks that Johnny isn't nice to her, which is different. Alli says she doesn't know him like she does. Clare sighs and walks off. Clare and Alli later walk out of photography club, getting advice from Chantay. Alli tells Clare she will be taking pictures of Johnny. Clare jokes that even if he actually lets her, "won't the photos end up blank?" Alli says that's harsh, that Johnny has a soul, and he's sweet. Just then, Johnny walks up and Alli says hi and asks him to come over later and help with English because 1984 is "deep." He agrees, saying he loves that book. Clare looks at them and Alli says to her it'll take some convincing. In class the next day, Alli helps Dave elaborate on explaining what sexting is to Mrs. Kwan. Clare watches them talk. When Dave tries to give Alli his number, Alli and Clare roll their eyes. Alli picks up her camera and shows Clare the "racy" photos she took of Johnny the night before. Clare is shocked, saying he looks so "cuddly." Alli excitedly tells her to never doubt her powers of persuasion. After Alli gifts Johnny with with a phone, he excitedly greets Alli at lunch. Clare asks if he's going to eat with them just before Johnny greets K.C. and Clare by name with a "sup?" Clare looks at Alli and gets up from the table and K.C. follows suit. Clare later shows her pictures of K.C. to Jenna and Alli. Jenna says to pick the one with the bike grease. Chantay looks and asks if that's Clare's boyfriend and says nice work and that the photo isn't bad either. Clare looks unsure of how to react. Chantay looks at Alli's, a stuffed puppy, unimpressed, until she finds a picture of Johnny. She says he looks cute and everyone else seems to think so too. Alli shows Clare a text from Johnny saying "hey boo" and "what's up baby" and says he's been extra sweet today and that he's "the new Johnny." Clare is shocked by the pet names. Jenna says the pictures of him are adorable. Clare asks if the new Johnny wants to double date with her and K.C. sometime and Alli looks excited, saying she's sure he'd love to and that they'll talk. Chantay says Alli has to show her picture. Everyone agrees so Alli agrees, going against Johnny's wishes. Later, Johnny sends Bruce her naked pictures in retribution for Alli showing off his pictures.

Alli is Upset

Clare is concerned for Alli.

In You Be Illin', Alli and Clare awkwardly sit next to each other in gym class. When Coach Armstrong rotates Clare and Jenna, Alli lights up and immediately starts talking to Jenna about her issues with Johnny. She says Clare thinks she should hate Johnny but she whines that she can't. Jenna says that she can't help who she likes and reassures her that Clare just doesn't want her getting hurt. Next, the three girls are in Media Immersion when Johnny comes to talk to Alli outside of class. His plans to tell her something are spoiled by Mr. Simpson, so he finds Alli when she and Clare are putting letters in the sign at the front of the school and asks her to meet him in music detention. Alli excitedly turns to see a disappointed Clare who calls her ridiculous and asks her why she's doing this to herself. Alli tells her they're just talking, "fully clothed and everything." Clare says he's still the same slime-ball and asks what has changed. Alli asks, offended, if Clare thinks he could be sorry since he did give the phone back. She adds that Jenna understands. Clare looks down and avoids eye contact before Alli leaves. Alli is seen with Clare and Jenna breaking into Johnny's locker to get the phone with Alli's naked pictures back although they are unsuccessful because it is empty. Later, as they sit on the steps outside, they watch Johnny. Alli gets up and Clare asks what she's doing. Alli says to have a speedy recovery she must purge all things Johnny for good. Clare praises her, saying she can't trust him and that it'll be better once she's cut ties. Alli thanks her and smiles before walking up to Johnny. Johnny ends up asking Alli to meet him in private to tell her that he found a wart on his genitals, and that Alli should also get tested. Revealing to her that she was not the first or only girl he had slept with. Alli is accompanied by Jenna to the clinic and Alli makes her promise not to tell Clare. Later in class, Clare sees Alli laying her head on the desk and she asks if she's okay or if she has a headache. When Alli says no and doesn't turn to face Clare, Clare gets up with a frown and Jenna scoots over to Alli.

In Wanna Be Startin' Somethin', Alli and Clare are partners in a parenting class with Holly J., Jane, Jenna, and Leia. Clare cleans their baby doll as Alli looks more interested in her nails. When Clare notices this, she gets Alli's attention with the washcloth she's using.

Eli comes back in and nearly collides with her, and smash, it's inevitable. Clare says it can't be true, not this time. The next day in class, Alli asks Clare how the birthing class went with her "totally platonic co-parent" and Clare mentions how Eli told her that he will always be there for her. When Alli asks why that's a problem, Clare says that because when he said that she wanted to kiss him. Alli smiles and says she doesn't want to tell her she told her so. Clare says it's really bad because they can't get back together. Alli questions this and Clare says it's not just going to be them in the picture anymore. Alli reminds Clare she loves Eli and she can't just take that out of the equation. She reminds Clare that this is coming from someone who doesn't even like the guy that much. Clare is determined to set some boundaries so she and Eli don't slip into old habits. Alli asks if Clare is going to tell Eli not to do anything that makes her want to kiss him and Clare replies that she will if she has to.

In Walking in My Shoes, Clare is taking photos of Alli and Dallas for the nominations for best couple in the yearbook when Imogen walks up and asks to borrow her to talk. After Clare finishes a last picture, she shows Alli and Dallas, remarking how cute they are. As Alli and Dallas bond, talking about how she loves his family, Imogen realizes what she needs out of her relationship with Jack and tells Clare that Jack couldn't make it and will be there tomorrow.

In Get It Together, Clare is spouting off facts about how to raise boys to Connor, Jenna, Alli and Dallas she learned in a book. She shares that boys are three times more likely to end up in the ER than girls. Alli says she believes it because Dallas is always doing dumb things that hurt him. Dallas says all boys are different and Clare says she and Eli have read about all the kinds of boys there can be and all the techniques they can use. She sets five books down and Dallas offers to let them babysit his son Rocky while he has an interview for a hockey team at Brown, Alli excitedly adds. Dallas says they don't have to if they aren't ready and Clare says they're ready to do this for the rest of their lives. Class starts and when Clare turns around, she looks nervous.

In Give Me One Reason, Alli and Jenna walk up to Clare who is seated before class starts and discuss their project on Amelia Earhart. They make several jokes and when realizing Clare is not feeling it, they try to get her into the conversation by telling her (clueless to the fact Clare's had a miscarriage) that she should get baby Goldsworthy an outfit like the paper puppet they have. This hits a nerve with Clare and she hurries out. When Alli and Jenna question about what they are supposed to tell Mr. Perino, Clare tells them to says she's illustrating what Amelia Earhart did: disappeared and never came back.

In I Wanna Be Adored, Alli takes Dallas, Connor, Jenna, and Drew through a proposed prom idea based on Van Gogh's Starry Night. Alli says her and Clare have planned this prom idea since they were in grade 9. Drew says she obviously doesn't care enough to show her support. Jenna also asks "where is Mama Clare." Drew makes a snarky comment that she's probably off somewhere making out with her baby daddy. Alli tells him he doesn't know that but Connor asks her if best friends tell each other everything. Alli responds that they do. Drew changes the subject back to the prom idea. In class, Clare is grabbing a book from a bookshelf when Alli comes up and tells Clare there are over 100 boat companies in the city and she figured Clare can call half of them. Clare says Alli knows she gets seasick but Alli says she better buckle up because it'll be One Rough Night. Alli tells her that they planned for four years and their plans got defeated in one minute. Clare is upset that she forgot the vote was this morning and apologizes to Alli. Alli says she hopes Clare has a good excuse and Clare pauses before saying she had to talk to Eli. Alli guesses baby stuff and Clare replies sort of. Alli reminds Clare that prom is their last night together and that's why they agreed to organize it. She adds that if this pregnancy stuff is too much she can find another co-chair and Clare tells her no because she'll do it. Alli sarcastically responds that she shouldn't sound so enthusiastic. Clare responds, annoyed, that she said yes and asks if she needs to bring pom poms too. She adds for Alli to just tell her how she can help. Alli says she can start by calling the boats and then in the morning they're auditioning music acts. Clare says she will bring the coffee. Alli replies great and goes to sit.

Later that day at the Dot, Alli finds Dallas with his celebration cake since he has got a job playing hockey for the Nippon Paper Cranes in Japan. Alli tells Dallas she knows they can make it work and she's excited for him but her problem isn't with that. He guesses that her heart-to-heart with Clare didn't go so well. She says that she asked her to help with prom but you'd think she invited her to her own execution. Eli overhears as he cleans up a nearby table and makes a confused face. Alli adds that she thinks Clare's moved on. Dallas asks if it's from high school but Alli thinks it's from her. She asks if Dallas knew she ditched her this morning to hang with her boyfriend. She adds that Clare and Eli should just get married and move to some deserted island where they could read each other pretentious poetry. Eli, hearing this conversation, turns around and tells Alli he thought she'd be a bit more understanding. Alli asks if this is about the baby and adds that Clare isn't the first girl in the world to get pregnant. Eli says she isn't Alli asks what and Dallas looks at Eli. Eli pauses and says they lost the baby. Alli is shocked and Dallas says "woah dude. I'm so sorry." Eli says he can't believe Clare didn't tell Alli and walks off. Alli quietly adds her either.

The next day in the cafeteria, Alli and the rest of the prom committee watch Becky and Jonah audition to play at prom. Alli likes them, while Drew doesn’t. Alli says they have five more acts to listen to until they make their vote. Jenna asks where Clare is. Just after she asks, Clare shows up with five coffees in a cup holder, apologizing for being late because of a long line at The Dot. She comments that being the barista’s girlfriend, you’d think she could skip ahead. Alli bolts up and grabs the coffees from Clare. She tells her to not feel the need to stay because she’s got everything under control. Clare looks at her confused and asks if she doesn’t want her involved because she missed a couple meetings. Alli dismisses that and says she is only trying to be an understanding friend before giving Clare a sweet smile. Clare understands now and asks if Eli told her. Alli’s smile drops and she admits that Eli thought she knew. Clare says she didn’t tell anyone because she didn’t want to be treated differently. Alli asks if she’s just anyone now and that she wouldn’t know what Clare wants because she doesn’t tell her anything. She adds that she feels like she doesn’t know Clare Edwards anymore. Clare tells her she’s sorry for being a huge disappointment and Alli assures her that’s not what she meant and asks if they can go somewhere and talk. Clare thanks her and says she’s good before walking out of the cafeteria, leaving Alli upset.

Later, Alli is presenting her prom idea to Ms. Pill, and Ms. Pill loves the idea. Alli isn't very enthusiastic and Ms. Pill asks if she had help. Alli responds that she was supposed to and Ms. Pill says her co-chair was Clare Edwards and adds that she's been through a lot this year. Alli changes the subject and asks if it's been approved. Ms. Pill says yes and adds that it sounds like it's the perfect prom. Alli disagrees and says she has one last detail to iron out.

After that, she goes to Clare's house with yellow flowers she claims is a sign of friendship. They both immediately apologize. Alli apologizes for excluding Clare from prom planning which Clare replies that she doesn't blame her because she hasn't been "Debbie Dependable" lately. Alli asks why Clare didn't tell her about the baby and Clare pauses then says that it's hard to be around her right now. Alli asks what she did wrong and Clare says that it's not that she did anything wrong, it's that she did everything right: she has everything so together. Alli is confused so Clare says she's planning prom all by herself, she has a perfect boyfriend, and she's going to Cambridge, MIT, or somewhere even more awesome and Clare says she has nothing. Alli disagrees, walks over to join Clare in her kitchen, and says she has her and always will. They hug and Alli says that she always will only if they talk because next year is all they'll have. Clare says they still have prom and promises to make it amazing. Alli asks if prom planning will be too much right now and Clare says teen girl stuff is exactly what she needs, especially if it's with Alli. Alli smiles and says they better get to work.

In Teen Age Riot, Clare and Alli are leaving class when Clare says that they have just two more weeks and she can put the whole year behind her. Alli adds that they can celebrate with prom. Connor meets them outside of class and tells them Ms. Pill wants to talk to them. Ms. Pill walks up smiling and informs them that they've all been shortlisted for valedictorian. Alli tells Connor to eat her dust and Ms. Pill says they'll give speeches over video monitors tomorrow afternoon and people will vote for their choice valedictorian after that. Clare thanks her but says she will pass and starts to leave but Ms. Pill stops her, saying she wants to talk to her. She turns to Alli and Connor and dismisses them by saying she looks forward to their speeches. Clare is next seen at The Dot talking to Alli and Eli. She explains to Alli that Ms. Pill knows everything since the cameras went up and suggests that they both should pull out of the race for valedictorian. Eli admits it's "weird that she knew about the baby, but running for valedictorian would be good for you right now." Clare then responds that she wanted to wait until after graduation to tell everyone she lost the baby. Alli says to screw Ms. Pill and that she's been here for 5 minutes and Clare been there for 4 years. Clare agrees and says it's her chance to say goodbye with a mischievous look. The next day when they are about to give their speeches, Clare is seen next to Alli. Alli is happy Clare is there but jokes that she's still going to lose. Clare responds with “Like you said, screw Pill right." Alli nods. Ms. Pill finishes talking and calls Clare up. Clare stands in front of the camera and asks the students if they think they deserve privacy because Ms. Pill doesn’t think so. She reveals that Ms. Pill is using the cameras to spy on the students and that she will say that she’s helping but she’s not. Clare says that the students should be able to go through things in private. As this happens, Ms. Pill tries to get Drew and Connor to stop recording but they are too busy enjoying what Clare is saying. Miss Pill pulls the plug when Clare starts to say “We need to stand up and tell Ms Pill to go-" and cuts her off. Drew and Connor then share a look as Clare walks off with confidence. Clare is next seen cleaning out her locker when Alli walks up to her, worried, and says “So much for not rocking the vote.” She sees Clare cleaning out her locker and asks what she's doing. Clare responds that she's preparing for suspension. Miss Pill walks up and asks who suspended her. Clare replies “You, in about ten seconds." After Ms. Pill asks Alli for privacy, she talks to Clare about how the cameras are better and that she should talk to her friends. Clare looks angrily at her as Miss Pill walks away. As Alli approaches, Clare picks up a nearby bat. Alli looks nervous and says “Clare, stop. Think about what you're doing,” but Clare walks over and smashes one of the cameras. Clare walks past Alli who asks if she’s feeling better. Clare responds that she's starting to and smashes another camera.
