Episode 50 - Season 13: Sparks Will Fly (Maya, Miles, and Zig)

The Social Disease - A Degrassi Podcast

In our 50th (!) episode of the podcast, we discuss one of the many love polygons of season 13: Maya, Miles, and Zig! We go in-depth about Maya's relationship with both troubled boys, how each of them has many faults and issues that they need to go to therapy for, and how this season fits into Maya's mental health arc. We also discuss the beginning of Miles's character arc, Zig's nebulous existence in the season, and the return of gang issues.
