Season 9, Episode 8 - "Beat It (Part Two)"
1 November, 2009
Riley doesn't succeed in sleeping with Fiona. He then is accused of gay-bashing, after an openly gay student ends up in the hospital, suffering of a brutal attack at Degrassi (This is due to one of the victim's friends overhearing some homophobic comments he made) and is ostracised. Feeling desperate, he decides to search for a de-programmer to make himself straight. This worries Fiona and Peter and they try to help him come out by explaining to him that his refusal to accept himself is essentially destroying his dream of being the popular football star, as everyone now thinks of him as a gay basher. Meanwhile Sav finds out about Anya's secret.
