0:00:03 > 0:00:05Can we talk, as sisters, not dancers?
0:00:05 > 0:00:07We have nothing to talk about.
0:00:07 > 0:00:09I just lost my big sister.
0:00:09 > 0:00:12It's just time for me to take the next step.
0:00:12 > 0:00:14The casting director made the director come to watch me.
0:00:14 > 0:00:17Long story short, it was just to make fun of me.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20I would love to go to India.
0:00:20 > 0:00:23As far as first dates go, this one was pretty perfect.
0:00:23 > 0:00:27We know you can dance. That's why we need you in A-Troupe.
0:00:27 > 0:00:30I really hope things are going to be different with Stephanie this time,
0:00:30 > 0:00:34so then we can go back to being besties again.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36Eldon and I are going to start a duet for regionals.
0:00:36 > 0:00:40I'm feeling something inside of me, and I hope he feels it too.

0:01:02 > 0:01:06# Bang bang, the gun rang in my head again... #
0:01:06 > 0:01:09'Right now we're just kind of working through the routine,
0:01:09 > 0:01:11'fine-tuning it.'
0:01:11 > 0:01:14# Nobody sees it
0:01:14 > 0:01:17# Are birds circling over my head yet?
0:01:17 > 0:01:21# The bitter pattern... #
0:01:21 > 0:01:25Dancing with Eldon is great, he is the best dancer in the studio,
0:01:25 > 0:01:28so it's easy to duet with him.
0:01:28 > 0:01:32# Here you're light as a ghost... #
0:01:32 > 0:01:36'Me and Michelle were looking at each other and... I don't know.
0:01:36 > 0:01:40'It just feels really easy and natural. I'm just...
0:01:40 > 0:01:42'I don't really know what I feel right now.'
0:01:42 > 0:01:46# If I was brave, if I was stronger
0:01:46 > 0:01:49# Would you hold the candle longer?
0:01:49 > 0:01:54# If I burned it to the ground If I fall do I make a sound?
0:01:55 > 0:02:00'I feel so free, and it's a lot more fun'
0:02:00 > 0:02:01than dancing with anyone else.
0:02:01 > 0:02:06# For he who wears the crown His head is heavy now... #
0:02:06 > 0:02:11I always felt like Eldon and I connected with each other.
0:02:11 > 0:02:12We understand each other.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18# In my mind you weigh the most
0:02:18 > 0:02:20# You're the kiss in the cup
0:02:20 > 0:02:22# You'll be there to pick me up... #
0:02:22 > 0:02:25There's just great energy between us.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29# I can see your head in the crowd Like a sun through the clouds
0:02:29 > 0:02:32# You're always turning me Inside out
0:02:32 > 0:02:34# Fall through the cracks In the glass
0:02:34 > 0:02:35# When you're moving too fast
0:02:35 > 0:02:38# And the time will turn inside out
0:02:38 > 0:02:42# The moral isn't lost on me I know I'll never see
0:02:42 > 0:02:44# The like... #
0:02:44 > 0:02:48He's such an amazing dancer. I mean...
0:02:48 > 0:02:50It makes me want to tell him more how I feel.
0:02:53 > 0:02:59# We We are gonna show the world
0:02:59 > 0:03:02# Everything we're made of
0:03:02 > 0:03:06# We're going to tear the roof Off this place
0:03:15 > 0:03:17# Stand up!
0:03:37 > 0:03:43- This is pretty.- Yeah, I made us a little picnic. Here.
0:03:43 > 0:03:48- A picnic?- Yeah. - Eldon, these are freezing.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51Yeah, that's how I like to eat them.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54You're the only one who likes to eat them like that.
0:03:54 > 0:03:55Oh.
0:03:56 > 0:04:00Um... I can't actually eat this.
0:04:00 > 0:04:04- Oh. OK.- I'm really sorry.- No.
0:04:04 > 0:04:09- I won't eat mine, either. - Are you sure? I don't mind.- Yeah.
0:04:09 > 0:04:10- No, that's fine.- OK.
0:04:10 > 0:04:14- So, how's Elite going?- It's great.
0:04:14 > 0:04:19- Yeah?- Yeah. Kind of.
0:04:19 > 0:04:24It's hard to find friends. Harder than I thought it would be, anyway.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26I mean, it is kind of like the next step.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28These girls and boys have been together forever.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31They're really good friends, and trying to kind of find
0:04:31 > 0:04:35my niche in all that is a little more difficult than I thought it would be.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38- Well, you got me.- I know.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41Well, you're not exactly at Elite with me, right?
0:04:41 > 0:04:43Well, you could carry a photo of me.
0:04:43 > 0:04:48- I doubt that would help me make friends.- Well, I'm...
0:04:48 > 0:04:51- I'm sure you'll make friends eventually.- I really hope so.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55'I do feel bad about these feelings I've been having for Michelle,
0:04:55 > 0:04:59but the best thing to do is just forget about her.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01I know I want to be with Emily.
0:05:13 > 0:05:19- Five, six, seven, eight! - MUSIC
0:05:19 > 0:05:24Good energy, guys. Keep going.
0:05:24 > 0:05:30Emily, what are you doing? You're half a beat behind everyone.
0:05:30 > 0:05:34- Can you get it together, please? - I'm trying.- Well, try harder.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38'When Amanda yells at me, it feels awful.'
0:05:38 > 0:05:41Emily! Are you serious right now?
0:05:41 > 0:05:45'Things are really different here. I mean, the choreography's a lot...'
0:05:45 > 0:05:47A LOT harder, and...
0:05:49 > 0:05:51I just don't know if I'm up to it.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59Yeah, no, I understand.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03'Right now I'm on the phone with my agent.
0:06:03 > 0:06:07'In my last audition I ended up being the laughing stock.'
0:06:07 > 0:06:10I don't really want to ever go through that again.
0:06:10 > 0:06:15Yeah, just give me a call if you find anything else, OK? Thanks. Bye.
0:06:15 > 0:06:21- Who's that? - Just my agent.- OK, and...?
0:06:21 > 0:06:24I don't know, he has an audition for me to go to but I don't...
0:06:24 > 0:06:26- I'm not interested. - Why would you say that?
0:06:26 > 0:06:30I don't know, it's a random role. I don't really want to do it.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34Steph, call them back, tell them you're going to take it.
0:06:34 > 0:06:35Come on, this is what you wanted to do.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38But I don't even want to ever go back out there.
0:06:38 > 0:06:39I'm not ready right now.
0:06:39 > 0:06:43In this industry, you're going to get knocked down hundreds of times.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45But you've just got to pick yourself back up
0:06:45 > 0:06:47and have more faith in yourself.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49You might get one out of 100 auditions,
0:06:49 > 0:06:51but that still means you're doing good.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53If you want to be a triple threat girl,
0:06:53 > 0:06:54you've just got to have thicker skin.
0:06:54 > 0:06:58You're good. You've got to believe in yourself.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00Tiffany has a point, I have to be able to take this stuff.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03This is what the industry's all about.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05And... Maybe I'll get this one, maybe I won't,
0:07:05 > 0:07:08but I can't give up trying.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11Five, six, seven, eight.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14'I think I'm dancing all right right now.
0:07:14 > 0:07:15'I mean, I'm trying my hardest.'
0:07:15 > 0:07:18I'm still trying to pick up the choreography, and...
0:07:18 > 0:07:22I'm giving it my best shot, so hopefully it works out for me.
0:07:22 > 0:07:27Yes, Jamie. Good, Reagan. Emily, can you stretch your feet, please?
0:07:28 > 0:07:30- Stop, stop, stop. - MUSIC STOPS
0:07:30 > 0:07:32We're going to... Let's take a break.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35We're going to take a little break
0:07:35 > 0:07:37and we're going to look at formations.
0:07:37 > 0:07:41'I would love to say that I feel like I would be put in the front row,
0:07:41 > 0:07:43'but I know that here at Elite I'm not the best dancer,
0:07:43 > 0:07:45'so personally I'm hoping for middle.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47'That's what I've been working towards.'
0:07:47 > 0:07:49- (We should switch right now.) - Yep.
0:07:49 > 0:07:53(Cos it's no good waiting until later, she's not going to get this.)
0:07:53 > 0:07:57OK, everybody. Let's go back to your original formation first.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00We've got a few alterations to make here.
0:08:00 > 0:08:04You two ladies switch with the two guys right behind you.
0:08:06 > 0:08:10- You mean...the back row?- Yeah.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15'I guess I just thought I had improved so much.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18'But apparently Michelle was right.'
0:08:18 > 0:08:19I am a back row dancer.
0:08:26 > 0:08:31'I'm at Elite because I want to talk to Emily and fix things.'
0:08:33 > 0:08:37- Mom's waiting in... Emily!- What?
0:08:37 > 0:08:41- Can we talk for a minute?- No.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45Em, just wait for two seconds.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49What could you possibly have to say to me?
0:08:52 > 0:08:54I don't know. I'm sorry.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58You think sorry is going to fix this?
0:08:58 > 0:09:01OK, really, Em, it's not the end of the world.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04Maybe not your world, but it's certainly the end of mine.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06It's not always about you, Em. I was doing it for the team.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09And it's not always about you either, Riley!
0:09:09 > 0:09:11We haven't spoken since you...
0:09:11 > 0:09:14We haven't spoken since you took away my dance captaincy,
0:09:14 > 0:09:17since you took away my friends, since you took away my sister.
0:09:17 > 0:09:21- I don't even know who you are any more.- I'm still your sister, Em.
0:09:21 > 0:09:25I'm right here and I don't know what else to do. I don't...
0:09:25 > 0:09:26know what else to do.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29Do you want me to forgive you, Riley? Is that what you want?
0:09:29 > 0:09:30Do you want us to be sisters?
0:09:30 > 0:09:33Do you want us to hang out, borrow each other's clothes?
0:09:33 > 0:09:36Do you want us to do that kind of stuff? Cos you lost that.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42HORN HONKS Mom's calling.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48'I worked so hard for everything I had.'
0:09:48 > 0:09:52It was my life. It was...
0:09:52 > 0:09:53It was my everything.
0:09:55 > 0:09:59'I don't have my big sister any more.'
0:09:59 > 0:10:02It means...
0:10:02 > 0:10:03I've got to grow up a little bit.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14This has been an awful day.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16First, I get put in the back row at Elite,
0:10:16 > 0:10:19and then I get into this huge fight with Riley.
0:10:19 > 0:10:20- Hi.- Hey.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25- What's up?- Not much, just playing sneaker-shoe.
0:10:26 > 0:10:30- What is that?- It's when you count how many people have sneakers
0:10:30 > 0:10:32and then how many people have shoes.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34Eldon, sneakers are shoes!
0:10:34 > 0:10:36Oh. You're in a bad mood.
0:10:36 > 0:10:40'Hanging out with Michelle, it's just...'
0:10:40 > 0:10:44It's fun and easy. And things have never been that way with Emily.
0:10:44 > 0:10:45I'm sorry.
0:10:47 > 0:10:48I shouldn't have yelled.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53Amanda put me in the back row.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56- Really?- Yeah.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58That's harsh.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00You can say that again.
0:11:00 > 0:11:04Look, maybe I am a back row dancer.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06Maybe...
0:11:06 > 0:11:09- Maybe dance just isn't for me any more.- No!
0:11:09 > 0:11:13- You're not a back row dancer. - How do you even know that, Eldon?
0:11:13 > 0:11:18Look, you're new to one of the most prestigious studios in the country.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20You'll work your way up there.
0:11:23 > 0:11:27Just so much harder than I thought it was going to be.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29Everything good is hard.
0:11:29 > 0:11:33And everything worth something is difficult. You're strong.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36- You'll get there. - What are you, a quote book today?
0:11:36 > 0:11:39Eldon giving me a pep talk was kind of cute.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41'Just knowing that he still cares about me
0:11:41 > 0:11:44'and he wants me to be happy, it did raise my mood.'
0:11:44 > 0:11:47Come on, let's play sneaker-shoe, it'll cheer you up.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50Sneaker-shoe. Number one.
0:11:50 > 0:11:51Sneaker.
0:11:51 > 0:11:52Shoe.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55'I'm glad I was able to cheer Emily up.'
0:11:55 > 0:11:58But I still don't know how I feel about our relationship.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05Two, three, four, five...
0:12:05 > 0:12:07I have Stephanie jumping jacks
0:12:07 > 0:12:09because she needs to get the blood flowing.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11She's feeling nervous, she has some jitters.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14That'll help her get the energy to call her agent.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16- Come on, you got the energy, call.- Really?
0:12:16 > 0:12:20What's the worst that can happen? I might as well not give up now.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23Er, yes, I'm going to do the audition, I changed my mind.
0:12:23 > 0:12:27Now that I booked it, I feel a lot better about everything.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29- You did it.- Yes.- Yes!
0:12:29 > 0:12:32Maybe if I have a positive attitude towards things,
0:12:32 > 0:12:35they'll be better for me, because I don't want to give up.
0:12:39 > 0:12:40Good energy, guys.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43'I really feel that I'm improving because of my mindset.'
0:12:43 > 0:12:45I'm here and I want to be here.
0:12:45 > 0:12:49It's time for me to pick my game up and that's exactly what I'm doing.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51Keep it up.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53Good, Emily.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56Amanda complimenting me is a good feeling.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59She doesn't want me to fail, she wants me to be part of the team
0:12:59 > 0:13:01and because of that I'm starting to be part of the team.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03Come on, everyone, be like Emily.
0:13:07 > 0:13:12- I want you to move up to the middle row on the walks.- Really? Thank you.
0:13:12 > 0:13:16'I think I owe Eldon a big thank you.
0:13:16 > 0:13:20'After really listening to what he said, it made me believe in myself.'
0:13:20 > 0:13:23Just knowing that I can go to Eldon for those kinds of things
0:13:23 > 0:13:26and he'll be there for me, he'll support me no matter what...
0:13:27 > 0:13:30..it just brings us a lot closer together.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40- So, man, how was that date with Riley?- Details.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42It was cool, man, it was all right.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44'I don't want to tell anyone about my date with Riley.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47'Because Riley is different. I don't want everyone to know.'
0:13:47 > 0:13:49It's special.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52- I mean, it wasn't good? It wasn't...?- It was all right.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55It wasn't extravagant or anything?
0:13:55 > 0:13:57GIRL GUFFAWS
0:13:57 > 0:13:59THEY LAUGH
0:13:59 > 0:14:00Why are you laughing?
0:14:00 > 0:14:04You're like, "Yeah, man, it was cool, yeah,
0:14:04 > 0:14:06"whatever, like, it was just cool, mate."
0:14:06 > 0:14:08THEY LAUGH
0:14:08 > 0:14:11SHE GUFFAWS
0:14:11 > 0:14:15'When Giselle mocks me, it's fine, I know she's just playing around.'
0:14:15 > 0:14:16She got you. She got you.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18JAMES MIMICS GISELLE'S LAUGH
0:14:18 > 0:14:21SILENCE
0:14:21 > 0:14:23THEY ALL LAUGH
0:14:23 > 0:14:26'It's only fair that James got to make fun of my laugh.'
0:14:26 > 0:14:31Yo, man, what up, yeah, uh-huh, so then... Who talks like that?
0:14:40 > 0:14:42I haven't seen Eldon in a couple of days.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44I want to surprise him with a picnic, I want to show him
0:14:44 > 0:14:47how much I appreciate him.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49Em. Hey.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51What are you doing here, Riley?
0:14:51 > 0:14:53Dad wanted me to come talk to you.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55So you didn't want to come talk to me yourself?
0:14:55 > 0:14:58Of course I want to, you just never listen to me.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00We don't really have anything to talk about now, do we?
0:15:00 > 0:15:03Things between me and Emily have been really bad lately
0:15:03 > 0:15:05but I have to give it one last shot.
0:15:05 > 0:15:06'I want my sister back.'
0:15:06 > 0:15:09We promised each other we'd keep our dance lives separate
0:15:09 > 0:15:10from our personal lives.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13- Yeah, and you broke that promise. - So did you!
0:15:15 > 0:15:16Riley...
0:15:16 > 0:15:21I don't know how to fix this one, OK? I don't know what to do.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25I would love to fix my relationship with my sister.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27But I don't see how that can happen.
0:15:30 > 0:15:34'Resolving things with Emily is going to be harder than I thought.'
0:15:34 > 0:15:37But I have to find a way to get through to her.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40Remember the time when I was supposed to feed the kittens
0:15:40 > 0:15:43but I thought you were feeding the kittens and it turned out that none
0:15:43 > 0:15:47of us were feeding the kittens when really Mum was feeding the kittens?
0:15:47 > 0:15:51Well, maybe we just need to feed each other, like, you can
0:15:51 > 0:15:54be the sister I need and I'll be the system you need.
0:15:54 > 0:15:58'Knowing that she wants to still be my sister, she needs me...'
0:15:59 > 0:16:01..it just makes me feel loved.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07I'd be willing to give that a try.
0:16:10 > 0:16:14- So, how are things with you and Elton?- We're good actually.
0:16:14 > 0:16:18'It feels amazing to be talking to Emily again.'
0:16:18 > 0:16:20I mean, we're finally mending our relationship
0:16:20 > 0:16:24and getting back on track to being sisters.
0:16:26 > 0:16:27How are you and James?
0:16:27 > 0:16:30Um, I don't know.
0:16:30 > 0:16:34- I mean, he took me on a date last night.- Really? What did you guys do?
0:16:34 > 0:16:38Well, he brought me to Studio A and he had it all decorated.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41And he got foods from all around the world and, like, he made me
0:16:41 > 0:16:42this passport.
0:16:42 > 0:16:43Are you serious?
0:16:43 > 0:16:46Hearing that James set up that whole date
0:16:46 > 0:16:50was kind of shocking. James has never worked that hard.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53I don't know, I'm just a little confused as to
0:16:53 > 0:16:55whether we're in a relationship or not.
0:16:55 > 0:17:00- So ask him.- Really?- Yeah. Guys like it when you're straight up.
0:17:00 > 0:17:01No games.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03Emily's advice is really helpful.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06I mean, I had no clue what to do with me and James
0:17:06 > 0:17:09and Emily just cleared it up for me.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12I've got to get back to rehearsals.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15I think things will definitely be different between me and Emily.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17With everything we've been through,
0:17:17 > 0:17:20I feel like there's nothing we can't conquer.
0:17:33 > 0:17:38Eldon and I decided to show A-Troupe our duet. I hope they like it.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41Michelle and Eldon's duet is amazing.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44I wish I was either Michelle or Eldon in that dance.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46It doesn't matter but it's really good.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49It is so emotional and it's just a beautiful piece.
0:18:00 > 0:18:01After our last rehearsal,
0:18:01 > 0:18:04my feelings for Eldon seemed to be getting stronger.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07I think he's starting to like me too, but I can't be sure.
0:18:09 > 0:18:13As soon as I walk into the studio, I see Eldon dancing with Michelle.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16And I know he is supposed to be on a day with Emily right now.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18Eldon.
0:18:18 > 0:18:19Forgetting something?
0:18:20 > 0:18:23Emily, date. Ring a bell?
0:18:25 > 0:18:29'I got a little too distracted with Michelle'
0:18:29 > 0:18:31and I am so in trouble.
0:18:39 > 0:18:43'I pulled James aside because I need to ask James where we are in
0:18:43 > 0:18:45'our relationship, what are we right now?'
0:18:45 > 0:18:48- What?- Are we in a relationship?
0:18:48 > 0:18:52- Did you just asked me that question? - OK, I'm being serious.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56I don't know, do you want to be in a relationship?
0:18:56 > 0:18:58I wouldn't be asking if I didn't want to.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00Is that a yes?
0:19:00 > 0:19:04'Finally, she does like me back and it makes me feel great.'
0:19:04 > 0:19:07Just give me one second.
0:19:13 > 0:19:14LAUGHTER
0:19:14 > 0:19:16< Yo, that was sick!
0:19:18 > 0:19:21This is what I've wanted for so long now
0:19:21 > 0:19:24and finally it is actually for real.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27GISELLE GUFFAWS
0:19:29 > 0:19:33I'm really excited to start my new relationship with James.
0:19:47 > 0:19:51'Part of me kind of remembered that I was supposed to go meet Emily
0:19:51 > 0:19:55'but the other part of me wanted to stay and dance with Michelle.'
0:19:55 > 0:19:58Hey, Emily. Sorry I'm late. I'm really...
0:19:58 > 0:20:01Are you wearing two different shoes?
0:20:01 > 0:20:05'I looked down and I realise I'm wearing two different shoes.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08'I must have grabbed one of Stephanie's shoes by accident.'
0:20:08 > 0:20:10Eldon showing up with two different shoes on is
0:20:10 > 0:20:12honestly not that surprising.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14I'm just glad Stephanie has big feet.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17Why are you so late?
0:20:19 > 0:20:20Um...
0:20:20 > 0:20:25We had rehearsals at a studio for regionals.
0:20:25 > 0:20:30And I didn't want to leave, like, in the middle of the practice, so...
0:20:30 > 0:20:33No, no, I totally understand. I'm glad you guys are working so hard.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36- OUT OF BREATH:- Yeah.
0:20:36 > 0:20:41- Picnic!- Why... Why did you decide to do a picnic?
0:20:41 > 0:20:45- You didn't like it too much last time.- Well...
0:20:45 > 0:20:48I was thinking about it and I decided...
0:20:48 > 0:20:51it isn't really what you do, it's...
0:20:51 > 0:20:54who you do it with.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57'When Emily said that, it made me realise
0:20:57 > 0:20:58'I'd rather be with Michelle.'
0:20:58 > 0:21:01I'm not sure how I feel about Emily any more.
