Clare Edwards

My Own Worst Enemy is the fourth episode of Season 13. It aired on July 25, 2013.

Main Plot

The episode opens with Clare in the MRI machine, preparing to start the scan. She tells the doctor that she is "terrified". The doctor tells her that it is normal to be nervous and that it is critical that she not move during the scan. Clare, nervous, begins stalling - asking the doctor several questions, and the doctor tells her to relax and that Eli and Clare's mom are right outside. Clare says that she is ready to start the MRI.

Clare tells Eli that if the cancer has spread to her brain the chemotherapy will not be able to treat it. Eli tells her that they will try something else if it has spread and that she should stop using her computer. Eli suggests that they watch Life of Pi to get her mind off of the cancer. The doctor enters and tells Clare that she is done chemotherapy for the day and that her MRI results are being reviewed by the oncology team. Clare asks if this is bad and the doctor says she doesn't know and Clare says that if she's dying she has a right to know. Eli says that she's not dying and Clare's mom agrees. Clare says that she is going to visit a friend, Paula, that she met in the therapy group.

Clare goes to Paula's room and Clare's doctor is in the room but Paula is not there. Clare says that she must be in the wrong room, but the doctor tells her that the room was Paula's but isn't anymore. Clare asks if Paula checked out from the hospital but her doctor says that Paula died earlier that morning. Her doctor says that she's sorry and Clare says that she had the same type of cancer as Paula.

Drew comes to Clare's hospital room and Clare tells him that they need to talk about the first day of school because Drew is the school president. Drew asks Clare why she asked him to leave the day camp to talk about something that's two months away. Clare says she wants to start by discussing new student orientation, and then realizes that there's a dog in Drew's basket. Drew says he was taking the dog to camp before Clare told him to come to the hospital. Clare says that she wanted Drew to come to the hospital because she is nervous about her MRI results and that she's not ready to know if she's going to die. Drew tells her that she could leave the hospital.

Drew dresses up as a doctor and puts a wig on Clare's bed to make it look like she is sleeping. Drew plans to hide Clare under a sheet on a gurney so that the nurses don't see her leaving. Clare decides that she wants to go to Degrassi because her friends are there.

At Degrassi, Clare asks if she can help with the camp. Clare participates in a race with the little kids, being a little girl named Madison's partner. Shortly after starting, Clare becomes nauseous and throws up behind an obstacle.

A little boy coughs in Clare's face and she angrily tells him that an infection could kill her. Clare tells Drew that she is scared she might catch an illness and she needs to go back to the hospital.

Eli goes to the hospital and angrily tells Clare that the hospital almost called a Code Yellow; meaning they were going to send the police out to look for Clare. Eli says that Clare could have caught an illness or started to bleed or reacted to the chemo and Clare says that she knows it was stupid of her to leave but that she doesn't know how much time she has left and she wants to spend her time having fun. Eli says he was really worried and they kiss. Clare's mom comes in and says that her MRI results came back clear however that the doctor says she isn't "out of the woods" yet. Clare says she is going to win her battle against cancer.
