The friendship between Connor DeLaurier and Mo Mashkour began in Season 11 of Degrassi.
Friendship History[]
Overview[]
Connor and Mo started off as rivals when Connor joined the Degrassi football team. Though Connor made attempts to fit in with his teammates, Mo bullied him relentlessly. When Connor decided to retaliate by playing an elaborate prank on Mo, he discovered that Mo was deeply insecure himself. The two eventually made amends with each other, and worked together to win a crucial game for the team. They have both since gained each other's respect, as well as the respect of their teammates.
Season 11[]
In Not Ready To Make Nice (1), Connor decides to join the football team, one of the reasons being to help himself learn how to socialize with his peers. He has no trouble doing the football drills, beating out Mo for the starting nose tackle position. However, he still doesnāt know how to fit in yet: he doesnāt understand a joke Drew and Owen make, and then when he over laughs at Moās joke (because he thought thatās what heās supposed to do), he insults Mo. He also unintentionally insults Moās weight. Moās only on the team to pick up girls, so he has no problems being rude to Connor. Connor decides to play a joke on Mo by creating a fake Facerange profile and luring Mo into a date with a āhot girlā at The Dot.
In Not Ready To Make Nice (2), Mo skips the football game to meet the girl, but shows up near the end of the game disappointed because he was stood up. Connor admits that it was a prank, and tells Mo they should be friends because theyāre both wanting to be accepted. They both go into the game on the final play, and knowing the only way they can change the way their teammates see them is to win the game, they decide to pretend like theyāre arguing to throw off the offense. It works: Connor causes the QB to fumble the ball, and Mo grabs the ball and scores the game-winning touchdown.
In Hollaback Girl (1), Mo and Marisol are holding hands in the hallway, and they run into Connor in the hallway. Connor tells Mo that he is happy for him that he finally found love.
Season 12[]
In Bitter Sweet Symphony (2), they are both at a Student Council meeting with Jenna, Fiona, Marisol, Becky and Alli, discussing Campbell's suicide.
