| - Sweetheart week has returned to Degrassi, but with the crackdown it's pretty lame. Adam and Eli are talking about who to cast in their play as the leading lady opposite Adam. Then Adam gazes upon Fiona. But he's still mad she was a no-show at the anti-crackdown party. Fiona explains that she wanted to come, but her great-aunt died. Fiona wants to make it up to him, and Adam suggests that he needs a leading lady for the play. Fiona says yes, as long as there's no singing. At Fiona's audition, Adam can't stop staring at Fiona lovingly. Eli teases him a bit about him liking her and Fiona liking him. Adam is just worried she how she might react to him being transgender. Fiona's done and asks if she has the part, to which Eli says yes. But she'll need to catch up since she auditioned late. Fiona asks Adam to visit her in her condo in order to prepare and Adam gulps and says yes, "it's a date." At Fiona's apartment, Adam marvels at Fiona's snow-globe collection while she pours out some champagne for herself. Adam ruins down the premise of the scene they're about to reherse: The inventor bringing the woman to life. Fiona asks if it is the kissing scene. Adam stutters and Fiona wants to skip right to kissing. They practice the scene, but Adam falters. He tells her before he kisses her, there's something she should know: he's transgender. To which Fiona simply says "okay." Adam is stunned, but Fiona explains that her mother's hairstylist is Mt F and she's from New York and used to it. Adam tells her that girls aren't exactly lining up to kiss him, to which Fiona says she rather kiss him then anyone at Degrassi. Adam is all "Wait, what?" and then Fiona "accidentally" spills champagne on Adam. She apologizes and rushes off to get Declan's leftover clothes. While Adam is fumbling with Declan's tie, Fiona offers to help and adjusts it. Adam asks Fiona "truth or dare?" Fiona picks truth. Adam asks Fiona for the true reason she skipped his party. Fiona explains that Adam looks at her as a perfect princess, but she's far from it. And once he realizes it, he'll leave her. Adam tells her he'll never abandon her. Fiona looks a little ambivalent about Adam's declaration, and goes off for another drink. But then Adam grabs her arm and says "Your turn...dare." Fiona then kisses Adam passionately. At the play rehearsal, Adam is still floating after what happened last night. Fiona then comes walking up and asks if she got his flowers. Fiona sighs tells Adam that last night, they were just caught in the moment and it didn't really mean anything. They were just having fun. Adam plays along, but he's devastated and confused. Afterward, he talks to Eli about that night. While giving him the play by play, he mentions Fiona had been drinking. Eli tells him with alcohol, people's true feelings come out so there's possibly a chance Fiona does dig him. Adam goes to Fiona's apartment to drop off Declan's clothes. Also to tell Fiona that he's dropped out of the play. Fiona is shocked and asks why? Adam admits he just wanted to be close to her and now that he knows it's in his head, there's no point. Fiona says that it wasn't in his head and invites him in for dinner. But not before taking a drink. And pouring out another drink. Adam notices it and asks what's up. Fiona says it helps her relax and if Adam has a problem with it? Adam is uncomfortable but naively ignores it and he and Fiona kiss again. Holly J comes to Fiona's apartment to get her history book, and she finds Adam and Fiona making out on the couch. Holly J is taken aback, and Fiona explains she and Adam were just rehearsing. Holly J notices Fiona's drunk, and Fiona says that she only had two drinks. Adam vouches for her, but Holly J isn't buying it. She tells Adam to keep an eye on her and how to deal with her and to contact her with there's any issues. She leaves, and Fiona sloshes around Adam lamenting how Holly J is uptight. While drinking another glass of champagne. Adam looks at her uncomfortably, finally realizing her drinking isn't for relaxing.
