We're putting a friendship-themed episode of Degrassi online on Friday -- VOTE for the one you wanna see! A few of the contenders are below:

On Degrassi, friends are the people who keep your secrets (like when Holly J caught Jane cheating on Spinner with Declan).

Friends don't care what gender you were born... they care what you're like as a person:

Your closest friend can become your worst enemy (especially if you're both running for president, and she wants to fight dirty).

And of course, friends are always willing to do embarrassing things with you in public.

Degrassi has so many good friendships!! Check out the Facebook Poll to see more options. We'll check the winner on Friday afternoon and put that episode online for Fan Favorite Friday.

You guys seemed pretty psyched about the Degrassi pictures I posted last week, so here are a few more...

THIS is how Marisol dresses to hang out in the woods? I hope she's wearing bug spray.

At least Alli brought an air mattress. (Is every air mattress ever made that army green color? I'd rather have a pink one.)

I'm proud of Katie for wearing mismatched clothes and her hair in braids. This is how you dress for the woods, Marisol!

If this were a horror movie, that cooler would be full of body parts!!! Just sayin'.

What are you doing on Friday? Because I heard there's a party going on at Jake's cabin... Degrassi: Nowhere to Run. TeenNick. Friday. 9pm et.

p.s. Have you seen this Nowhere to Run flipbook? It's got even MORE photos!

SPOILERS BELOW! Watch "Don't Panic, pt. 2" before reading.

OK. I have two things I want to touch on from tonight's Degrassi episode.

#1: This face. Drew making this face when Katie picks her "best friend" Marisol to be her V.P.:

Drew is sooo excited to spend lots and lots of quality time with Katie's bestest buddy Marisol!

Poor Drew. Can't blame him for not wanting to have much to do with Marisol. Do you think Katie and Marisol's friendship should be over at this point? Or do you and your best friends work through really bad fights all the time?

#2: Eli! Get out of the sweat lodge! I mean, I appreciate his enthusiasm for "doing the right thing" for Cake but OMG, a little privacy while they work through their issues, maybe? Him injecting himself into their relationship like that did not feel 100% healthy to me, even though I know he's at least given up on the notion of getting Clare back. Your thoughts?

SPOILERS BELOW if you haven't seen "Don't Panic, pt. 1".

I think it's pretty uncontroversial to say that the Girl Code of Honor proscribes that no two best girl friends of the straight persuasion think it's a good idea to "ruin their friendship over a boy." Boys should not come between besties, right? This is a truth.

But I have a question.

Say one best friend LIKElikes a guy, like reallyreallylikes him, and he demonstrably LIKElikes her back, as in he has asked her out and/or made a move type thing. But say the other best friend -- who's been through thick and thin with the first best friend since like kindergarten -- likes him, too, like a reallyreally lot, and she liked him first, even though he doesn't like her back... what then?

If you go for the guy when you KNOW your best friend likes him (like Katie did), are you sacrificing your best friendship for a boy?

Or if you forbid your best friend from being with a guy she reallyreally likes and who reallyreally likes her back (like Marisol did)... are you sacrificing your best friendship for a boy?

Which girl is the one "letting a boy come between" them?

The time on Degrassi when Katie was all, "Are you serious?" And Marisol was all, "Oh, I'm as serious as cancer, hon."
