Alex ended the relationship because she didn't only want to be Paige's 'lapdog.' The two went on to date other people, but found their way back to each other in Season 6. As graduation loomed closer for them, Paige's big future shone brightly while Alex's did not. Despite Paige's initial reluctance, the two began to date. In the fifth season, through a series of events, the two ended up kissing, which caused Paige to question her sexuality. The two soon grew to respect one another, even becoming good friends. After a brief and unsuccessful stint at The Dot, she found herself working at a local movie theater alongside Alex. However, when Paige wrecked her boyfriend Spinner Mason's car, she was forced to get a job to pay him back for the damage. Both girls originally could not stand each other, with their encounters often resulting in verbal catfights. The two first met in the fourth season of Degrassi: The Next Generation during their junior year at Degrassi Community School.
