Main Plot[]
Clare is eager to take full advantage of her internship and does so by emailing some of her pitch ideas to Asher. She is nervous she shouldn't have done it and Eli and Alli make fun of how obsessed with Asher she seems. He calls her and asks her to meet him for lunch, and she assumes she's going to get fired because he thought her ideas were stupid. However, he gives her an opportunity to pitch an idea to him, and she chooses the Degrassi musical. Asher agrees and tells Clare that they're going to write her article. Clare's excited until Asher meets Eli, and Asher does the interview by himself while sending Clare to go fetch coffee. She gets back just after the interview finishes. Asher leaves and Eli tries to cheer Clare up. She asks Eli if Asher asked about how Eli dealt with Becky and Dave's hesitation to play a gay character and he says no. Clare says the story is incomplete without it so she chases Asher down and tells him that she wants to write the article, and despite not thinking she's ready, he lets her.
After noticing an error in the article after sending it to Asher, she panics and heads to the newspaper to find him. Asher tells her she's working on rewriting her article because it had a lot of work needed to be done on it, and Clare breaks down feeling as though she has failed him. He calms Clare down and tells her that she can stay and help him edit the article. Afterword, Clare is relieved, but out of nowhere Asher kisses her, and she runs out of his office horrified.
