Summary[]

Kevin Smith takes over Degrassi Community School to shoot his new movie, Jay and Silent Bob Go Canadian, Eh! and hired Craig to write some music. Things finally seem to be coming together for Craig - that is until Ashley decides to tell him that she's moving to England without him. Meanwhile, Caitlin doubts her relationship with Joey. This would probably not be a good time for her to be spending so much time with Kevin Smith.
