Mia Jones (Degrassi: The Next Generation) - Season 7

Season 7

After Lakehurst is devastated by a fire over Christmas Break, its students are hastily moved into Degrassi, forcing students to share lockers. Mia is paired with Holly J. (sister of the infamous Heather Sinclair), and the two are instantly at odds with each other, especially after being acquainted with Lakehurst student Sav, whom the two girls both are interested in. The two battle it out, using insults on each other both in and out of class. After Holly J. implies that she strongly disapproves of Mia being a teenage mother, Mia evicts Holly J. from the locker they had to share.

Mia has her eyes on Sav. He appears to show interest in her, too, however after Mia and Holly J. have a heated personal debate during class with Sav in the middle of the action, his liking for Mia seems to dissolve slightly. In an attempt to win him back, Mia apologizes to Sav and the two go to The Dot for a date. However, the next day at school, Mia suggests to Sav that they start hanging out more with each other, and he admits to her that he's not interested in getting involved with anyone at the moment, which leaves Mia heartbroken. In "Hungry Eyes", Sav approaches Mia at the badminton tournament and encourages her to get back involved in the game, stating how good she was at the sport back at their old school, Lakehurst. Mia is reluctant because of her baby, but she gets back into it and her feelings for Sav overtake her. She goes to kiss him but he admits he's "never done it". She says it's OK and that lots of people are virgins. He then admits that he's never kissed a girl. She says that in exchange for badminton lessons she'll teach him how to show affection and eventually give him his first kiss. When she goes to kiss him publicly after their sexuality triumphs, he backs off. Mia and Holly J. later see Sav looking at Anya's sticker book with her, seemingly bonding, hinting there may be a growing friendship.

The father of Mia's daughter, Isabella, is soon revealed to be Lucas. It turns out that he had abandoned her when she learned that she was pregnant with Isabella, but now he tries to get back in her good graces by giving her money and buying Isabella expensive toys. Mia at first wants no part of it because she doesn't want Isabella's father to be a thug. He ruins her relationship with a new guy, but despite this she allows him to be a part of Isabella and her life, and the two begin dating again. And he even vows that he will try and change his delinquent ways so he can be a better influence on his daughter.

However, all this attention for Isabella is revealed to be an excuse to get closer to Mia. Despite Jane's warnings about how Lucas is a bad influence, Mia still sticks with him. One day Lucas invites Mia over to finally have some alone time whilst his parents are away on a trip, Mia comes in to find a party already started. At first, Lucas is disappointed to find that Mia also brought Isabella, but is OK with it after Mia puts her to sleep in Jane's room. After getting into the party and drinking some booze offered from Lucas, Mia is reminded to check on her daughter in case anyone tried to kidnap her. Mia bumps into Jane after going upstairs and is again warned on how bad an influence Lucas is on her, this time she agrees and takes Isabella to leave the party. However, on her way to leave the house the police show up to break up the party. After seeing Isabella at a party with booze everywhere they are forced to call Children's Aid on her. Upon being interrogated by the police, Lucas denies being the father to Isabella, leaving Mia with all the blame. Mia and her mother are later found at the Children's Aid office and they agree to keep a better watch over Isabella. The social worker questions if it is just Mia and her mother raising Isabella without the father present, Mia answers that it is just her and her mom.
