My Hero is the thirty-fourth episode of Season 13.
Main Plot[]
Becky, who is falling for Sir Excellence, wants to find out if he is being truthful about his identity. She approached Grace who suggested that she get a picture of the guy with the guy holding a piece of paper that read Me. He sent it and she shows Imogen. Imogen then asks Winston about the picture, and he tells her it's Hunter Hollingsworth and that they can probably find him gaming at a computer in the computer room.
Becky was surprised and grew upset upon learning that he was in Grade 9. She then decides it's time to break things off with Sir Excellence and tells him that both of them being at Degrassi is a bad idea. She also doesn't like the fact he lied about who he was.
Later, Hunter guesses Becky is the girl he's been dating and finds her gaming with Imogen by her side at Degrassi. Angry, he asks for his items and money back from the game, and threatens to turn her into a troll if she tells anyone what they did in the meadow. He is upset when Becky tells him that it's just a game, but he replies saying she doesn't understand the game. He seems to take the game very seriously, and more real than reality itself.
Later Becky blurted out making out with Hunter (online) to her mother, who guilt her into standing up for Luke at his upcoming trial.
Sub Plot[]
Drew is upset for being fired from the campaign and takes it out on Dallas, causing them to fight. At the same time, he talked to Imogen and learned that he could fight being fired because he was wrongfully terminated. He went to talk to Mr. Hollingsworth and a reporter saw the argument, which ended with Mr. Hollingsworth falling into the pool. The reporter wanted to talk but Drew just left.
The next day at Degrassi, Miles told him not to talk to the reporter, citing the affair which Drew didn't know the full details about. He decided instead of talking to the reporter to talk to Mr. Hollingsworth. He approached it maturely, only wanting a reference and his contacts.
He apologized to Dallas and showed him the contacts that could help their DoubleD business work. He later went to apologize to Clare at her home. He started to walk away until she opened the door. He apologized and she told him they could be friends again.
