"Dude.. What happened last night?"
Drew Torres

Come As You Are (2) is the second episode and second part of the season premiere for Season 12 of Degrassi. It aired on July 17, 2012.

Main Plot[]

While nursing a hangover, Drew doesn't understand why Katie thinks they’re back together. He finally realizes that he slept with Katie, and feels the pressure from Bianca to make sure things between the two are officially kaput.

Dallas and Adam tell Drew he needs to be straight-forward with Katie, and he does so: he breaks up with her again and tells Katie the truth about Bianca. He also tells Katie that Bianca doesn't know they had sex, and that Katie shouldn't tell anyone they did. Drew and Bianca enjoy their time alone at the mall, but run into Katie and Marisol. Tension is high as Katie walks away without telling Bianca what happened, and Drew tells Bianca to not listen to anything Katie and Marisol might tell her.

Sub Plot[]

Clare wakes up to the sound of Eli sleeping from her phone. She realizes they fell asleep talking on the phone. She wakes him up and he invites her to go on a "re-first date" that night. She accepts, and after they hang up, they both smile to themselves. In class, Clare and Alli are talking about how great Eli and Clare's relationship is going when Ms. Oh mentions that Clare has her co-op with journalist Asher Shostak that day. Clare is disheartened because the relationship has just started and she already has to bail on their "re-first date." Later Eli tells Clare that he got tickets to an Arcade Fire concert that night. She tells him about the co-op that night. After seeing he is disappointed she asks what time the concert is. He tells her it's at 8:00 and she reassures him that she will make it there on time. Clare and Eli share a brief kiss.

At the Co-op, Asher hands Clare a pile of work and tells her that many high school students want this job, and she's lucky to have it. She tells him that her favorite part of journalism is clarity. He tells her to get to work. At 7:15, Clare finishes her work and hands it into Asher. He invites her to come to a protest with the team, telling her that it would be a great experience for her being a newbie. She calls Eli and tells him she can't come. She asks if he's mad and he sarcastically answers that he's going to crash his hearse into a wall. He then says that they can go on their date anytime they want to, and that he will invite Adam. He wishes her luck, and Clare leaves for the protest.

Third Plot[]

Maya shows up at school with the bra stuffers (or as she calls them "chicken cutlet things") in her shirt. However, she misplaced them giving her the effect of a "uniboob". Tori fixes them in front of everyone in the hallway, just before Tristan spots them and asks what they’re doing. After telling Tristan they were just doing “girl stuff,” Tori wishes Maya good luck and Maya heads to her audition. Later at the audition in the band room, Imogen displays a unique performance harmonizing with drinking glasses and her voice, which Mo calls "weird but great". Maya then is up next to audition. She begins to play, and Mo seems very intrigued. Towards the end of her performance, Maya begins to notice one of the stuffers is slipping inside her shirt. The bra stuffer then falls out and onto the floor. Everyone in the room notices as does an embarrassed Maya, who refuses to stop playing in the vein of acting as though nothing happened. Mo tries to gesture towards the ground to her but she ignores it until the song is over. She stands up, stares at the crowd for a few seconds, and runs out, leaving the chicken cutlet behind. Mo then asks who wants to go next.

Later, Maya is frustratingly searching her locker for her music sheets when Tori walks up telling her that everyone is calling her "chicken cutlet" because of the audition incident. Maya asks why Tori's breasts are already larger than hers, and Tori reveals that she repeated Grade 4, making her a year older than Maya. Tori assures Maya that she will be there for her, and walks with her down the hall. As they walk, people point fingers and scoff at Maya, but Tori tells her to ignore it. As Maya and Tori try to leave school Mo stops them and tells Maya that he found her music sheets, and that he wants her in the band. She is ecstatic. Owen then walks by and states "he is hungry for chicken cutlets", making the hockey team laugh. Maya takes the bra stuffer out and throws it at the back of his head stating "eat this". He tries to give it back to her but she responds with "Keep it. It'll be the most action you'll get all year," making everyone in the room laugh. Tori tells Maya that she is her hero.
