"Time Stands Still" is a two-part episode of the Canadian teen drama Degrassi: The Next Generation. It aired on CTV in Canada on 5 & 12 October 2004. In the two-part episode, Rick Murray (Ephraim Ellis), ostracized after he physically abused his girlfriend in the previous season, brings a gun to school and shoots and paralyzes Jimmy Brooks, when a prank pulled on Rick is blamed on Jimmy. Rick is then accidentally killed by Sean Cameron (Daniel Clark) in his attempt to stop the shooting. Despite being a two-part episode, many events were still unresolved until later in the season.

Part two of the episode earned director Stefan Scaini an award for "Outstanding Achievement in a Television Series – Family" at the Directors Guild of Canada Awards.
