Summary

Katie and Marisol are in an all-out war of the words, and as long-time besties, they're positively loaded with ammo. The nuclear option in Marisol's arsenal? The fact that Katie struggles with bulimia. As their fight plays out in the public forum of the student council elections, will the stress send Katie back to square one? Eli has hatched a plan to interfere in Clare and Jake's relationship yet again. His pushiness, weird plans, and abject refusal to back down are all classic Eli, and everyone's warning bells are going off. But this time.. does he actually have good intentions? And things are heating up with Ms. Oh and Sav. Can a high school senior keep that kind of secret to himself... or will Ms. Oh's teaching career be a casualty of their mutual crush?

Main Plot

Katie and Marisol are in an all-out war over Drew. After Marisol publicly embarrassed Katie during the speeches, Marisol tells Drew that Katie has the 'urge to purge.'

Then Katie goes live on the Degrassi radio and takes a lie detector test to prove to Degrassi that she is not bulimic. When she fails the lie detector test, she calls the app on Dave's iPad a "piece of crap" and goes off air. Once everyone leaves the room, Katie takes a large bag of Cheetos and scarfs them down. Soon after, she is seen running to the bathroom. In the stall, she proceeds to try to throw up, but before she could throw up, she began crying. Marisol comes in and realizes it is Katie in the stall. Katie walks out saying, "I hate you." Marisol says, "Oh, you don't really mean that." But Katie repeats, "I hate you. You are dead to me."

Later, during the presidential speeches, Katie is about to tell the student body that the rumors are true, when Marisol steps in and lies about the rumors, saying they were all made up. The two make up, Katie wins the presidency and Marisol is V.P. Drew is seen frowning at them being friends, telling Katie that she should not be friends with Marisol after all she did. Katie decides to stay friends with Marisol. He says to Katie angrily later, "Well, as long as she's around, I won't be."

Sub Plot

Eli has decided that he needs to help Jake win Clare back. So he comes up with a plan to get them together to talk it out. When the three of them are sitting there Eli reveals to them that he is bipolar. In the end Jake and Clare profess their love to one another while Eli watches the couple happily, now that he's in Clare and Jake's good books again. Near the end of this episode, he later apologizes to Imogen and later asks her out for coffee. At first she rebuffs his apology, but after some coaxing, she says that she can 'squeeze him in' and smiles.

Third Plot

Sav and Ms. Oh develop a relationship, and soon rumors are flying. Eventually, they both end up in Simpson's office.
