TEXT: In the courthouse Mr. Stone: I really appreciate your time Chuck. I'm glad we see eye to eye on this. Chuck: Well look I've known Peter since he was a boy. He's a good kid. He just got mixed up with the wrong element. Peter: Man did I ever. I truly regret the day that I met Sean Cameron. Ms. Hatzilakos: Well thankfully we won't have to worry about seeing Sean again. Peter: Oh mom, dad do you mind if I go talk to Emma for a minute? (They both nod yes.) Emma: What happened? I'm dying. Peter: Well the crown attorney's been going to my dad's Christmas party for years. That's what happened. I'm free Emma. I'm free. My dad just pulled some strings with his buddy Chuck.

Peter: Yeah tell me about it. There's good news. Sounds like Sean's gonna be nailed to the wall for this. Emma: I have a new zero tolerance policy when it comes to talking about Sean. Peter: So you haven't heard from him? Emma: Nope. With his hit and run charges, I don't think either of us will for a long, long time. (Peter kisses Emma on the cheek.)

It's a serious crime, so my actions have had repercussions beyond my personal punishments and I hope I can explain to everyone just how sorry and ashamed I feel. My behaviour, as well as the other people involved, have had terrible consequences. I also need to say that I'm sorry for tarnishing Degrassi's rep in our community and I hope that I can gain your trust back. Thank you. Mr. Simpson: We've seen it from CEO's, athletes and presidents. It's a classic example of the on-air me
