Why did Drake get shot in ‘Degrassi’?

Before Drake was the “6 God” he was just another Canadian kid starting from the bottom (of the acting world). In later life, he would be one of the most successful rappers of all time, with 13 number one hits on the Billboard Hot 100 (a record he shares with Michael Jackson).

In the early 2000s, however, he was Jimmy Brooks, a character on Degrassi: The Next Generation who suffers a gunshot wound and its subsequent consequences. Degrassi: The Next Generation, unlike its predecessors, actually became quite popular in America. Jimmy Brooks was a basketball player and popular kid from a wealthy family, considered one of the more open-minded students at Degrassi.

His first appearance on the show is in the third episode, “Family Politics.” The premise sees Jimmy’s girlfriend Ashley running for class president and Jimmy helping her win. In the episode “The Mating Game,” Jimmy and Ashley are pressured to have sex by their friends and make tentative plans to do so. He’s involved in various storylines that eventually culminate with Jimmy being shot by Rick Murray.

Ashley gets cold feet and backs out but the couple decide to stay together. Jimmy becomes a regular part of the show, but his character is forever altered in Season 4.

The Jimmy Brooks/Rick Murray conflict explained

In the Season 3 episode “Never Gonna Give You Up,” the conflict between Jimmy and Rick begins in earnest. It all pretty much starts over Rick’s relationship with Terri.

In the episode, Terri gets the lead in the school play and asks Jimmy and Rick for advice. Rick gives her terrible advice and Jimmy gives her good advice, but because Rick is her boyfriend she takes his advice and ends up embarrassing herself. Terri tells Rick she should’ve listened to Jimmy, leading him to believe she likes Jimmy better. Rick then hurts Terri and she breaks up with him, and Jimmy says he “has her back” in case Rick tries something else.

In the episode “Don’t Dream it’s Over,” Terri takes Rick back, shocking Jimmy and his friends. Paige and Terri get into an argument with Rick and he pushes Terri and puts her in a coma. She’s then transferred to another school.

This brings us to Season 4. In the episode “Mercy Street,” Rick comes back to Degrassi and ends up getting bullied because of what happened to Terri. The bullying gets especially bad in the two-part episode “Time Stands Still.” Spinner and Jimmy throw Rick into a dumpster. Rick retaliates by spray painting an X on Spinner’s car. In the “Whack-Your-Brain” competition, someone gets sick and Jimmy is forced to join Rick’s team.

For a moment, it seems like the two might reconcile because Spinner and some friends confront Rick, but Jimmy tells them to back off. Rick tells his mom that he’s now great friends with Jimmy, Emma, and Toby (his teammates). Rick’s team ends up winning the “Whack-Your-Brain” competition and Rick is super excited because the whole thing is being filmed. When Emma gives him the trophy, yellow paint, and feathers are dropped on him, making him a laughing stock.

In part 2, Rick goes home for a bit and comes back with a gun. He wants to kill Paige, but she inadvertently saves herself by apologizing to him. Spinner and Jay lie and say Jimmy was the one who was behind the prank, thinking that Rick will tell Mr. Raditch. That’s not what happens. Rick confronts Jimmy, who tries to comfort him and tells him he “has his back.” Rick says “you stabbed me in the back” and shoots Jimmy as he tries to run away. The wound is paralyzing and Jimmy no longer has any feeling below the waist.

In the episode “Eye of the Tiger,” Jimmy comes back to school in a wheelchair, to the celebration of everyone except Spinner, who with good reason feels guilty about the whole thing. Jimmy tells Spinner that he wishes Rick would’ve killed him and Spinner confesses that he was the one who gave Rick the idea that it was Jimmy who was behind the prank. Jimmy simply says, “then he shot me,” and the two end their lifelong friendship. Jimmy is then in a wheelchair for the rest of the show.

Aditi Rao Hydari has recently captured the internet’s attention with her mesmerizing ‘gajagamini walk’ from Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Netflix series, Heeramandi. The actor’s graceful performance in the song ‘Saiyaan Hatto Jaao’ has received widespread acclaim, prompting her to express gratitude towards her fans for their love and praise.

How did Aditi Rao Hydari create her viral walk in Heeramandi?

Aditi Rao Hydari recently shared how she feels deeply moved by the positive response to her performance. In a recent interview, she shared her feelings about the unexpected yet heartwarming reaction from the audience. “I am thanking everybody. That walk, just that little tukda from thumri, it is all over the internet. I really didn’t expect that and Sanjay sir did say, ‘Ye chaal bahut important hai (This walk is very important),’” Aditi said. She further reflected on the effort and dedication that went into perfecting the walk, which has now become iconic.

The Heeramandi actor provided a glimpse into the meticulous process behind the creation of the song, highlighting Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s deep involvement in every detail. The dance choreographer was Kruti Mahesh. Despite this, Bhansali engrossed himself in every aspect of the song’s choreography.

“Kruti Mahesh was there choreographing, but he was completely involved in every detail of the choreography. He was very particular about this walk and how it should happen. How will the dupatta fall, how will the waist move. Exactly when the ‘chan’ sound will be heard… it was quite incredible,” Aditi elaborated. This attention to detail is a hallmark of Bhansali’s work, ensuring that every movement, gesture, and nuance contributes to the overall impact of the scene.

For those unaware, Netflix recently released much-awaited, Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar on May 1, 2024. Since then, Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s OTT debut has garnered widespread acclaim for its grandeur, stellar performances, and storyline. It is currently available to stream on Netflix.

‘X-Men ’97’ season finale ending and post-credits scene, explained

Warning: This article contains full spoilers for X-Men ’97 episode 10.

There goes, X-Men ’97 season 1 — easily one of the finest stories Marvel Studios has ever told. Rarely has the studio behind the MCU delivered something both so authentic to its source material and celebratory of these characters and the universe they inhabit.

The bad news? This run of 10 terrific episodes, uncanny in how astonishing they were (see what I did there?), has now come to a close. The good news? This definitely isn’t the end of the road as a second season is on the way. As promised by the finale’s open-ended conclusion and, of course, a post-credits scene teasing what’s coming next.

So what happens in the last scenes of X-Men ’97‘s finale and what does it all mean?

Where are the X-Men?

“Tolerance is Extinction, Part 3” picks up right where we left off, with the X-Men trying to stop Magneto and Bastion’s competing plans to end life on Earth.

After the X-Men succeed in destroying Bastion’s Asteroid M, before it collides with the planet, the team are missing and presumed dead in the explosion. Forge searches for months for any trace of them — specifically, Storm — but to no avail. Finally, Bishop visits him and reveals the truth: someone, or something, saved the X-Men by flinging them somewhere (or somewhen) else in time. Bishop recruits Forge to help track the time-displaced X-Men down.

In 3000 BC Egypt, Rogue, Nightcrawler, Beast, Magneto, and Professor X fight off some ancient Egyptian guards and are aided by a mysterious masked figure. Once they fight is over, the gang thank the stranger and ask his name. “My name is En Sabah Nur,” he responds. That’s right, the X-Men have stumbled upon the younger version of their nemesis, Apocalypse!

Meanwhile, Jean Grey and Cyclops have been sent into the far-future, finding themselves in a barren wasteland in the year 3960 AD. They are approached by an elder wise woman who calls herself Mother Askani, leader of the Clan Askani. A boy then emerges from the Clan Askani’s tent and warns the rest that these two newcomers do not mean them harm. The young boy is extremely familiar-looking, what with his distinctive red hair. His name is Nathan — aka a young Cable, Scott and Jean/Madelyne’s son!

Is Apocalypse the big bad of X-Men ’97 season 2?

In true Marvel Studios style, the X-Men ’97 finale then concludes with a post-credits scene. The action returns to the ruins of Genosha in the present-day, where a shadowy figure stalks through the devastation caused by Bastion back in episode 5.

“So much pain, my children,” the figure booms, before retrieving a Queen of Hearts card from the rubble. “So much death…” As a shot of those distinctive blue lips makes clear, this is the grown-up Apocalypse, who seems all set to be the big bad of X-Men ’97 season 2. Even if we didn’t know we were getting one already, the “TO BE CONTINUED…” card at the episode’s end confirms it.

All things considered, it looks like we’re in for a deep-dive into Apocalypse’s character next time around, as the X-Men get to know his origins in the past while he cooks up some evil scheme in the present. The card he finds is clearly Gambit’s, so it’s very likely he’ll resurrect Remy and turn him into one of his Four Horsemen. Gambit alive again? Yay! Gambit turned evil? No way!

With any luck, X-Men ’97 season 2 will release sometime in 2025. For the meantime, all 10 episodes of season 1 can be streamed on Disney Plus.
