Episode 39 - Season 7: We are totally dependent on each other for everything (Marco, Paige, and Ellie)

The Social Disease - A Degrassi Podcast

In our second to last season 7 episode, we say good bye (and good riddance) to the college plots of Marco, Ellie, and Paige. Not only is Alex's departure terrible, but Ellie keeps trusting in toxic men, Marco can't figure out what he wants, and Paige happily chooses to accept poor work conditions and to stigmatize HIV! Let us know what you think on Twitter @DeSocialDisease and on Instagram @thesocialdisease!
