3. Breaking Up Is Hard To
Do Topics of Discussion : Divorce, Breaking up, Relationships,

Michelle discovers the complicated nature of divorce when her parents decide to go their
separate ways. She blames her father at first, but when it turns out that her mother had
an affair which actually was the cause of separation, Michelle becomes more hesitant than
ever. BLT is afraid that Michell’s father will try to break up between them, so his advice
to Michelle is to live with her mother. Michelle almost accepts BLT’s advice, but after
seeing that her father is helpless in house keeping, she decides to stay with him. Joey
proceeds with his plan to revive the band, and suggests a video clip which should be
“the best one ever”. Of course, such tiny obstacles as lack of a video camera
won’t stop Joey, so he approaches Lucy who just got a new camera from her father. But, as
usual with Joey’s plans, things go wrong. First, Lucy wants to to shoot the clip by
herself, so Joey has no choice but to agree. He offers Caitlin to appear in the clip
wearing a bikini, but after getting quite a harsh response, he finds Amy and Allison as
the “bikini girls” and agrees to their demand – a payment of 20$ each. Lucy , of
course, refuses to shoot this “bikini clip”, Snake and Whells are mad at Joey,
and the whole band almost breaks up. The rumour about Erica’s abortion spreads out and
somebody writes “Murderer” on her locker. “Caitlin-Joey” : it’s not
cold yet, but things certainly become chilly. Caitlin is starting to hang out with Claude,
seeing “deep” foreign films, having coffee, and talking deeply about world
events. Cailtin is starting to love his mysterious, artsy-fartsy, look, all dressed with
black and with combat boots, and slicked black hair.
