"Mother and Child Reunion" is the two-part pilot episode of the Canadian teen drama television series Degrassi: The Next Generation, which premiered on 14 October 2001 on the CTV Television Network. As with the majority of Degrassi: The Next Generation episodes, "Mother and Child Reunion" takes its title from a pop song, in this case, Paul Simon's "Mother and Child Reunion". Degrassi: The Next Generation is the fourth series in the fictional Degrassi universe created in 1979. The episode reunited some of the previous characters in a ten-year high school reunion (actor Stefan Brogren pictured), while also introducing a new generation of Degrassi students. The main plot centres around Emma Nelson, born during the preceding series Degrassi High, who is invited to a hotel by an internet stalker, posing as a teenage boy. The episode received mixed reviews from the mass media, and was nominated for two Gemini Awards and two Directors Guild of Canada Awards. (more...)
