Sean was actually the 5th character to not appear in the first 7 episodes. He used to go to Degrassi but then he moved up north, to Wasaga Beach. His first episode is his second first day of school in seventh grade, and he isn't excited. There is someone who was excited to see him (Emma Nelson), who thinks he is cute, and begins to have a crush on him. At the dance that night Jimmy Brooks told Sean there is an after-party at his house and then brought up the fact that Sean was a grade seven, because the party was for eighth-graders only. Sean held Jimmy up to the wall and kept shoving him up to it and yelling at him for continually reminding him of his remedial status. Emma saves Sean by asking him to dance, just before Principal Raditch would have seen him.

Sean rents a jet ski, and rides off into the waves at an alarming speed. He soon crashes and Tyler comes to the rescue. Sean, still feeling down, returns home. His mother admits that they made a lot of mistakes, but sending him to Toronto was the best decision they ever made. For them, it was the only way to keep Sean out of jail. He tearfully admits that he may have killed Rick. His mother hugs him, and his relationship with his parents is mended.
But when the time comes to leave, Sean tells the others he's not going. Sean decides to stay in Wasaga Beach with his parents. Ellie and Sean exchange "I Love You's" but even then Ellie is upset Sean is staying behind. Emma looks back at Sean from the back window as he watches the car drive away.
