Degrassi 221 - The Next Generation | Season 02 Episode 21 | Tears Are Not Enough (Part 1)

[@yinandyangmix]

Sean spitting at Craig's dad is too good. One of Sean's best scenes that define his character, and it's barely a second long.

[@multidagger102]

I love how Sean just spits on the ground instead of shaking Craig's dad. A REAL FRIEND!!!

[@heymonalisacani6795]

Jake Epstein is a great actor, he plays Criag with this uneasy and impulsive tone, it's very realistic, not at all melodramatic.

[@tawnygaona9114]

I got to see him in Spring Awakening and he was incredible. He's so underrated.

[@Charmedsas1]

He really is amazing.

[@MeeMeeMooMoo]

He deserves an award. Best actor ever.

[@matthewthechosenoneflatt1452]

tawny gaona him and the actor who played paige and drake were in the movie Charlie Bartlett if you haven't seen it I highly recommend it it's a good movie it has Anton yelchin and Kat dennings and Robert Downey Jr

[@afgaming6375]

Yeah I think he's a good actor too.

[@nkechiurama4976]

This felt so real, Craig is probably the best actor on the show

[@aisrenne6767]

Definitely!

[@musiclover_kb4913]

Yes, Jake Epstein's acting has always been solid

[@adityasingh3310]

He is so underrated!!!

[@stephhhsmiiith]

Nkechi Urama while Toby’s the worst.

[@Sage1400]

In the early show yeah, but of all time I'd say Eric Osborne as Miles Hollingsworth III

[@MsKay310]

The only show where I see the characters reuse clothes

[@rachelnewton4033]

Kimberly Alvarez right!! I’ve especially noticed with Terri and that dang colorful skirt 😭😂

[@carowatwet]

Kimberly Alvarez ikr they always do that for some reason

[@abigailsteiger1525]

Like regular high school students

[@tyiagarrett8027]

Emma & the dolphin tights !!!

[@TheSoriamEffect4]

I saw an interview where they talked about not having a wardrobe department. The kids showed up to film and they wore their own clothes.

[@fanlife3467]

HE CAN'T JUST WALK BACK INTO CRAIG'S LIFE LIKE THAT

[@ahshitherewegoagain.8940]

His dad is obsessed with dinner lmao

[@nancyriddick7642]

lmfaooo

[@sierraliz11]

Lol!!!!!!!

[@charlottedavis2073]

Well me too i love food

[@meilirima9597]

I’m mad at you. 😂😂😂

[@basil33]

In a F'd up way he probably thinks by having a family dinner that they can be a happy family but it's always a disaster because of his abusiveness. He wants to have control of the situation to an unhealthy degree.

[@jaysondemarco]

tell me why that flashback scene scared me bruhh lmao that belt had me yo

[@arielrr]

Jay Android faxxx

[@michaelgoldsby2994]

Jay Android σмg ѕαмє~ ι тσтαℓℓу ωαѕи'т єχρє¢тιиg тнαт...😱😰😵

[@nikkinorman4254]

Lmaoooooo same. It scared the shit out of me, like his dad was going to beat my ass too.

[@kianabennett6858]

Nikki lol

[@adaisyannajohnson2697]

Same. I thought that belt was gonna come out the screen and beat me.

[@bitnah3179]

My god this era of degrassi was amazing. Each actor became better with time and the topics were so real.

[@iiamkee21]

i hate that craig didnt get closure , i feel his pain of loving a parent who just hurts you time and time again but you still love them and try to give them a chance.

[@raynejackson3330]

iiamkee21 you do realize his dad abused him ..right😭

[@lindseycassella3015]

Sometimes that's how life is... no closure.

[@heartbeat8706]

He maybe abused him but it’s still his father. The man that gave him life and he hates him now out of the blue he dies

[@googzgag]

I remember watching this show on The N I know it was huge in Canada but here in America it was like this hidden gem not everyone knew about

[@nenehitta5544]

💯

[@tarynelise2910]

googzgag exactly!! None of my friends had heard of it or watched it, but I LIVED for this show. I was the same age as these little fkrs too, so it felt even more real. #Degrassi4Life

[@desmondrowe8986]

Taryn Elise right💯💯

[@DreamingBaybee]

Yesss! I remember when it first aired in the US they always showed the promos on Nickelodeon but I couldn’t figure out what channel The N was 😩 I was so hype when I finally found it

[@yemia87]

U think the USA is bad try the UK i found this from netflix and even then it was the next class i only found out about this by searching degrassi next class season 2 on youtube

[@vivianvictor2105]

the actor who plays Craig is so underrated.... he’s such a good actor like he conveys so much emotion even with one look and plays Craig so well

[@joshualogan8523]

His dad is so intimidating and scary.

[@adamarismariano3937]

Jt went from this to being totally in love with Liberty

[@spoiledsag]

bruh that belt had me scream, i thought it was gonna come out the screen and hit me im-

[@spacetiime2053]

One of the most emotional Degrassi scenes ever! So beyond real. You know how conflicted he must feel after that. Hating his dad, but hating that his relationship with him had to end on such a bad note. Ugh. Too real.

[@nieceysmith1693]

I feel sorry for kids that go through abuse and still have flashbacks about it.

[@bcrunch4232]

I think that Albert's fatal crash was caused either by him feeling so upset he didn't pay attention, or it was suicide.

[@mizzysparrots4874]

LOL at 11:16 when Ashley looks over her shoulder at Craig, Spinner is peaking at her test :P

[@amandaluvzu22]

Scranton Travelers I peeped that too LOLLL

[@meganhicks2499]

OMG...I never noticed that before. Lol

[@carowatwet]

Scranton Travelers lol

[@annah9212]

Lol he had his entire neck out 😂

[@jannaliallwood6931]

Why do I see you in most of the comments of these episodes 😂

[@sherisheri8103]

This was brilliant. Beginning the season with Craig father's abusing him then ending the season with Craig trusting him only for his father to slip into old habits to only die

[@kassie4u]

Ughhhhhhhhhhh am I the only one that doesn’t like Ashley and Craig together or Ashley in general

[@KamariaIsHere]

Cherry I agree, they both have deep seated issues that need to be addressed...

[@anastasiabrown3801]

cleary none of yall have been abused - craig didnt push him - its hard you cannot trust, you cannot believe in them the most harmful feeling is hope cause you get disappointed every-time imagine how many “sorry’s” and “ill never do it agains” he must have had

[@apexyl5135]

Bruh that scene when Craig imagined his father with the belt sent a shock down my spine

[@Peridot420]

"I'm thrilled for you, sweet potato."

[@knf4451]

yep, still crushing on Craig 14 years later :)

[@aruudawakening]

Kristin F. 😂

[@OffTopicKamah]

Pedo?

[@dancer1894]

who else thinks spinner is low key hot

[@auroramiller6721]

dancer18 no he's high key hot

[@QueenBeeDramaQueen]

I've always had a crush on him

[@tinytinger1331]

AND HE DID IT AGAIN!! HE HIT HIM AGAIN!!

[@fucklchn]

Back at it again with the punches!

[@babyashez9413]

+sdeadest 💀

[@TheMichaeveli]

OMG!

[@rmoira6]

People hating on Liberty for not letting JT cheat off her. makes no sense

[@ResiClaireRedfield]

RMoira6 I know right

[@carowatwet]

RMoira6 ikr

[@shamarab4632]

Teamwork makes the dream work ✊😂

[@shans.762]

she cheated off of JT before, so it's only fair lol

[@kailabrepeace]

I don't know why, but I think Craig would be an awesome Spider-Man 😂😂😂

[@reinhartdagr8108]

Kaila Taylor Really? I think JT would be good too.

[@leahmore8788]

That's so accurate

[@kristinafawley7535]

Jake Epstein was actually in the Spider-man Broadway show. As an alternate for Peter Parker/Spider-man

[@wuzhattenin]

That was possibly the hardest backhand in all of history. He broke skin on that wow **applauds**

[@num1Jaysta]

Cause he went all the way back with it

[@resistanceisannoying8213]

No choice but to respect the power of that backhand. And the award goes to......

[@JustACoverStory.]

Definitely a bad one but I think it was his ring that broke skin.

[@zohrabutter9575]

I feel so bad for Craig he lost both of his parents

[@mizzysparrots4874]

i don't understand angela. shes 5 or 6? with the personality and speaking ability of a 2 yr old.

[@rmoira6]

Scranton Travelers Where was she talking like a 2 year old? lol, she was just cranky

[@maradixon4133]

Scranton Travelers My little brothers five and he still speaks pretty young for his age but he's pretty normal?

[@MetalMadness_00]

Scranton Travelers I think she’s acting her own age

[@hyperbabe2009]

I noticed that too I think she is 6 but she cries a lot for that age and Joey talks to her like a toddler.

[@MetalMadness_00]

hyperbabe2009 I’m 2 years older than the actress who plays angie and I was already treated like an actual child

[@emmabarrowcliffe3087]

This show is amazing! It expresses so many realistic scenarios, 10 out of 10!

[@musiclover_kb4913]

I know right? The thing I loved about season 2 is how it started with this 2-part episode about how Craig is being abused by his father, and then in the finale, that same conflict comes full circle and is dealt with again.

[@yemia87]

110/10

[@kingchris3337]

When he visioned his dad lunging at him it scared tf out of me lmfaoo

[@abbeybaby1876]

Omg liberty is too much lmao

[@dejLoaf22]

She's annoying af

[@breannanotestine5741]

+Deja Williams true

[@vegetableoil1702]

I love her and hate her at the same time lmao

[@nataliegraham9560]

you are sick in your head i

[@arielrr]

Humanoid same

[@jubileevilla2150]

Respect Sean for what he did . He knows what Craig did that's a good friend.

[@dsntgtbttr]

Craig has no right to ever have an attitude with Joey

[@vivievei6298]

Omg Craig baby. So adorable. His acting for a young dude was impressive

[@AntoineBandele]

Jake Epstein MVP of Season 2.

[@Pheebeejeebees]

How ironic, a person who is supposed to make people feel safe and cared for, beats his own son....wow

[@TT-bo2gv]

Who else has the theme song stuck in their head?

[@loose2th]

Joey is such a great dad.

[@tiffanyheartsu7271]

THAT FLASHBACK/DAYDREAM SCARED THE CRAP OUT OF ME

[@howjasmi7165]

I love Sean so much.. he was not here for the foolishness.. when Craig’s dad tried to shake his hand. 😂😅😍❤️❣️

[@jackokeke6511]

Craig finally stood up to his dad, Craig wasn’t scared no more

[@hikmaam3669]

Craig eyes are pretty

[@alecardenas6532]

I know right

[@hermy3827]

Hikma Nurudeen thank you

[@NC-wb9rs]

+Windex no, thank YOU.

[@samanthastief393]

I like spinners eyes

[@tiffanyheartsu7271]

His face is pretty 😊

[@celesteandrade5602]

ah this episode is so sad. now he doesn't have a mother or father. :(

[@hoortariq2294]

Half sister

[@naeemah104]

+PelizTheMiraculousPanda yea true also Angela is his half sister

[@AshLeeDuhNiece]

Joey, has been a true Dad to him. As far as I'm concerned he is his Dad.

[@MetalMadness_00]

Celeste Andrade Craig hates his mom more for loving him at the mercy of his abusive father

[@MetalMadness_00]

Ashley still Joey gave Craig way too much freedom to do whatever he wanted leaving him on his own & allowing to drive a car of course he's gonna take advantage of that trust espically when his dad was super strict

[@rootfruit8670]

As someone who has went through what Craig went through this is unbelievably realistic

[@faithrankin1155]

The guy who plays Craig is soooooo good omg

[@brontaybrazzle3045]

is it bad that I laughed when joy said "he didn't make it" and craig answers "what does that mean"

[@lamonicakeels9155]

of course not lmfaoo

[@JeffyPokemon]

Brontay Brazzle that means Craig's real dad died

[@gabs878]

I hated Craig's dad, but man that was sad when Joey told him the news. The look on Craig's face.

[@tinytinger1331]

that part were he wiped him was lagit SCARY

[@itsonlysimba]

ikr 😭

[@arryanalyon161]

yooo my heart fr stopped when it happened

[@melody-tp8go]

Ashley dyes her hair EVERY SINGLE EPISODE!

[@emilymichelle2140]

Craig is such a good actor and I love how real this show is they don't sugar coat anything

[@marlangriffin92]

9:00 had me scared I thought he was going to jump out the screen

[@bitnah3179]

I can't look at JT without feeling so bad for him.

[@layluh4932]

Petty Realist whyyyyyy he’s the best character!!! I mean he’s had his bad moments but stilll

[@meghanobrien3045]

Why did they hire angelas actress to play a different character later in the series, they could have just written it as Angela at degrassi

[@carowatwet]

Prior Pyre that's the same thing I was thinking about

[@angelbabe5092]

ikr

[@RyanStorey1231]

They were going to have her come back as Angela, but they couldn't figure out a way to reintroduce the character without complicating things. Mainly, they would have had to reintroduce Angela's family, like Joey and Craig, and their actors had long moved on from the show. So they couldn't figure out a way to make it work. So they just wrote a new character for the actress.

[@astrellax11]

I'm sad as I feel his dad DID change or was at least in the process. Notice how this time you could see the shock and remorse he felt in his actions? Where as before he was hollow... he didn't even apologise back then. On the other hand, Craig's reaction is completely understandable since he has PTSD. Such a sad situation. :(

[@rosiel.8026]

Casmira Zeviani ...after hitting him the dad literally said he does that bc Craig keeps screwing up.... wtf are you talking about

[@joshylovesit]

Casmira Zeviani I totally agree

[@MetalMadness_00]

Casmira Zeviani and Craig wasn't happy he's dead was angry as hell

[@RJiskobe]

Casmira Zeviani ur ugly n dumb

[@OffTopicKamah]

Rosie L. Do you understand emotions or... is words the only way you read someone

[@genkers]

shit that flashback scene with the coaster situation, i know exactly how craig felt. my dad was like that too and he was a drunk so whenever he drank i did everything to stay out of his sight

[@lilmakori]

I'm literally screaming at me phone screen. Craig's dad has some nerve coming to his school.

[@TheElektra]

Another example of why Jake Epstein is one of my favorite actors and Craig Manning is one of my favorite characters. The man is a genius, and has been apparently all his life. We do not deserve him lol

[@thomasreese23]

His dad makes me wanna not trust doctors anymore lol

[@jamiletbain5845]

was i the only one that jumped when craig has that flash back ?

[@blessingnyameke5653]

Craig's dad scares me 😂

[@BeatleGirl37]

How does Liberty even see through those glasses? The frames are INSANELY small!!

[@larry3613]

This was very sad it reminded me of the good times with my dad, we always hugged and he loved me so much untill he passed away when i was only 13. I always pray for my dad every night and I can always hear him in my dreams. 😔❤️

[@breannanotestine5741]

Sorry for your loss

[@aishaelsarrag4309]

[@P_Destiny]

[@purplelover9633]

Is that romance i see brewing between Liberty and JT

[@sarasmitth1783]

The hospital let a girl sleep on a bed in the middle of the hallway😂

[@matifahtraore7315]

Sara Smitth I bet they just wanted to make the place look full

[@bstmeg5237]

If they don't have rooms they will do that to patients that are waiting for certain things

[@crystall9522]

Hallway beds in the ER are standard practice in city hospitals.

[@derrianasmith3153]

who else saw spinner cheating when ash looked at craig

[@azzz7279]

When Ashley looks back at Craig on the other side of the classroom and when Spinner peeks at Ashley’s test, I love how ms hatzilakos didn’t even say anything or give them zeros on their tests 😂

[@haventimoney8726]

poor Craig I felt so bad watchin it unravle

[@crispeefries7272]

i was not expecting that belt part omgg

[@junieg3662]

[@azzz7279]

Ibrameshi pun intended or nah ?! 😂

[@forcaster1802]

20:20 hearing anglea count her spots 😂😂

[@JamesWattMusic]

[@hatemx8421]

Why are liberty's gums so big

[@lailahautumn5993]

funny it’s supposed to be the end of the school year but you can see their breath when they talk outdoors

[@layluh4932]

lailah moyer that’s Canada for you lol

[@SaraiMalik]

So no one noticed that Craig's little sister is actually Tori from later seasons? It's so obvious

[@kyliekylie240]

Ah yes... We all did. It has been noted a million times

[@aryaxolani4200]

Omfg I just realized 😂

[@kirraleehughson1622]

yeah and angela and manny are sisters irl

[@Dralyn06]

I knew I saw her somewhere I just didn't remember where. At least now I know I'm not crazy lol

[@frizzyizzy8488]

B to I knew it!!!

[@MeeMeeMooMoo]

Honestly, I wouldn't be able to be in the same house with him again. I would feel trapped.

[@queenlele6193]

That flashback scene where his dad was hitting him with a belt had me shook ! 😱

[@missunderstoned9795]

Love how Craig asks Ashley to the dance 😂

[@SecretLifeOfD0lls]

Omg this is so hard to watch poor Craig.

[@rebekahgarza2965]

the belt scene scared me

[@stevenfoster9402]

9:00 the part that scared us all

[@selena3702]

I had tears when he told Craig his father died even though I highly disliked his father

[@bellawella3390]

That flash back Craig had scared me lol I was not expecting that

[@heeqmatbakrin1158]

Yeah,how's the anger management classes going,doctor?. I hope Craig never moves back in with him

[@shaytrece7921]
