Why does jimmy brooks get shot

This "Degrassi" episode was ahead of its time on so many things, including but not limited to the harmful psychological effects of public shaming whether that shame is deserved or not , and the harm that men can do when they feel that they "deserve" women -- which in Rick's case, applies to both his abuse of Terry and his shooting rampage after his rejection from Emma. At the end of the day, fans of "Degrassi"'s basketball team subplots probably mourn this act of horrible violence the most, but I'm still of the opinion that "Degrassi" -- and of course, Drake -- should be applauded to this day for never turning the camera away when its charismatic, popular leading man got shot.

The real-life victims of these crimes never get a chance to look away, so as an audience, neither should we. The N With "Hotline Bling" currently "Trap Queen"-ing up the charts and inspiring more emoji-fueled fire tweets than the latest episode of "Empire," it's easy to forget that only 11 years ago, Drake was having a much, much different October.

He brings her to his house, and she starts the seduction. After 20 minutes, he notices that he is attracted to her, but he doesn't get an erection.

Furious and embarrassed, he tells her that there is nothing she can do, and kicks her out of his house. Jimmy apologizes to Ashley in the hall the next day, and she said she wasn't mad that he couldn't get hard, but because he kicked her out when she threw herself at him. Jimmy apologizes again, and after some talking, they both decide to seek medical help to help Jimmy with his problem. That following night, Jimmy tries out the Viagra, and Ashley gives him a massage to calm him down, so that the Viagra will work.

He tells her that it's useless to try, that it won't work. Jimmy tells Ashley it's over, because he cannot satisfy her, saying to come over to his house and get her stuff. That night, Jimmy lets Ashley in, and they mutually agree they do not want to break up.
