{The AA Family is definitely of the dysfunctional order; even the name itself speaks of addiction problems. The family matriarch, examples herself as the mayor's drunken socialite wife who doesn't know who her children's daddies are, but suspects it's of the celebrity variety, and no one really knows where her husband aka The Mayor hides himself (he's most likely avoiding his crazy wife) as he goes off with his French maid.

Nikki, the oldest daughter, was until recently hiding the identity of her own children’s father; due in part most likely to the fact she was fighting with her mother over that very man, James Franco (Nikki won of course). Nikki had six children with him, not even including the two she adopted. The 2nd oldest in the family is Jen, who would be best described as the “fun” aunt. Whenever Nikki is away, and Jen is left in charge, they know how they can get away with being naughty, with her two kids along to help. Youngest is Callie, who could be more considered one of the children of the family as she causes problems along with the rest of them. When she is seen, it’s mostly hanging out with Leigh, her cousin. Leigh’s parents (Nicole’s sister/brother in law) left Leigh to live with Nicole since she had a huge mansion that needed more filling up, so that is where she spent most of her time, right along side Callie as they wander around.

Then we have all nine of the grandchildren. Kathy, Nikki’s oldest, would be considered the wise and most well behaved one of the family, even though everyone has their moments. Next in line is Katie, followed by her twin Michele. They are mostly causing problems over at the neighbors, making sure their dirtiness is intact. Speaking of the neighbors, Joa, claimed to be Katie’s soul mate, was recently adopted by Nikki after being the best friend of the family, who hung out at our house (almost) as much as her own but being from the outside she likes to cause problem. The newest adoptee is Mal, who barely ever even comes and visits. The youngest trouble-some twins are Ria and Diana. They were the original pair to misbehave in the family, even though Diana was also the leader of that. Ria still likes to try and keep everyone on track. Jen’s youngest, Carli, started followed Diana (and Ria) around, so you could say she was their almost triplet at one point, before both her and Diana headed off to college and barely drop by for a visit anymore because they seem to be too busy with their new friends. And that brings us to Mel, Jen’s oldest daughter, who was away at college for some time when she wasn’t up to speed with the family ways, but she’s changed her ways and comes to visit much more when bringing her insight in. Plus we can’t forget the nosey neighbor, Vince, who drops by unexpected, and for the most part unwelcome to a degree. He also became part of the family, as a brother-in-law, but after so many triangles and OTP’s, it’s hard to keep track with who the happy couple is now days. But after everything, the AA's will always remain a family}

{"I got a great Crash package in the mail a while back
with 60 reasons for Craig and Ashley to be together,
including 60 individually wrapped reasons--
which we've hung up on the wall leading to the studio
and the cafeteria so all the writers and actors can check them out!!"}

Now to answer the conflicted question of just how did those pants end up on the lamp?

Nicole's Theory
"Okay, Jake, you're in your boxers for this scene. Just drape them on the bed or something alright?" Some important person on set says.

"Oooh, this is the scene where I don't wear pants. What is up with that? This is the second time that I've lost my pants," Jake says.

"It's symbolism. You know how deep Degrassi is. Lose your pants, lose your mind," Melissa states with a nod.

Jake does a silly stripper dance, which includes ripping his belt off with flourish. He then daintily drapes his pants over the lamp.

"Nice, Jake. Nice personal touch," Melissa observes.

"This episode has made me feel so freeeee! I get to take off my clothes, I get to trash a room. It's been fantastic!" Jake says.

"Why don't I ever get to trash a room or take off my clothes for the show?" Melissa says.

"Why doesn't she get to take off her clothes...for the wholesome purpose of the show, of course," Jake agrees. He glances around and then picks up the condoms on the bedside table. "Can I have these when we are done filming?"
Kathy's Theory
1. This does not make sense.
2. I wanted to be as outlandish as possible.

Craig and Ashley are in the moment of passion. As each second passes their need to consummate their relatoinship grows stronger. Suddenly, the room starts to shake. As hot and heavy as Crash were, they were not the reason the room was shaking. No, it was zombies who were emerging from their grave RIGHT UNDER THE HOTEL that caused this random earthquake. Of course, Crash didn't care. The shaking just added please to their expierience. However, they were both still fully clothed and that needed to change. As zombies approached their lovenest Ashley did some quick thinking. She yanked Craig's pants off both for her need and to save the world; she threw the pants on the lamp, creating darkness. The zombies passed over Crash's room, allowing them to *fully* enjoy each other's company.
Nikki's Theory
Craig and Ashley were intensely kissing after they slept together. Ashley interrupts, says: "Now I know that you wear boxers and not briefs". Craig jokes that she could've known earlier, but bets to see if she can guess his pants size? Ashley moves to find his pants, cheating in a sense. But Craig throws them away, and they stick on the lamp. She says fine, she can't guess, and Craig says his prize is picking a movie for them to watch. That's why Craig's going through the channels on the hotel TV.
Leigh's Theory
My theory is that Craig was so excited the he just threw his clothes off without even caring where they landed. I have to wonder where he had to go find his shirt? Did that land on the lamp? Did he toss it across the room? Did he even take it off? It really makes you wonder.
Katie's Theory
i think as craig and ashley were kissing, craig leaned to go on top but then ash flipped him over so she was on top, ripped off his pants and threw them, they ended up on the lamp and then they obviously banged for a long time...orrr i think that after crash stopped kissing, ash flipprd craig up on his head and proceded to take of his pants, didn't know where to throw them so threw them up on the lamp, his boxers landed on the tv and her panties in his teeth..
Ria's Theory
Well everyone knows that Nicole is a little crazy so while we planned our road trip to kidnap Jake and Mel, Nicole snuck along for the ride without us knowing. And while we hid Make in the closet, Nicole snuck off and found the set of VC. Being completly deserted by everything frantically trying to find Jake and Mel, she decided to have a little bit of fun. Eating the food, jumping on the bed and that is when she came across Jake's pants. Being her normal self, she wondered what size he was, but when she heard a noise from outside, she threw the pants up in the air, they landed on the lamp and she spent the rest of filming hiding under the bed. And we left, so we're not quite sure how she got back. But at least we know how those pants got there, it's one mystery down, another one to go.
