0:00:20 > 0:00:22# You smile at me, ooh, ooh... #
0:00:22 > 0:00:25'It feels amazing to be Regionals winners.
0:00:27 > 0:00:30# You've got me up and I'm dancin'... #
0:00:30 > 0:00:31'We've had a little bit of a break
0:00:31 > 0:00:33'and we're all just coming back to the studio
0:00:33 > 0:00:36'all excited and getting ready for Nationals.'
0:00:36 > 0:00:39# La, la, la, la, la, la, la
0:00:39 > 0:00:42La, la, la, la, la, la, la... #
0:00:42 > 0:00:46'As a team right now, I feel like we're a strong team, except for
0:00:46 > 0:00:48'the whole Emily and Eldon situation.'
0:00:48 > 0:00:50I want to be with Michelle.
0:00:50 > 0:00:54'I haven't seen Emily since Regionals, when I...
0:00:54 > 0:00:57'told her right before our number that I liked Michelle.'
0:00:57 > 0:00:59'Maybe Emily wasn't the right fit for Eldon
0:00:59 > 0:01:02'and I feel like Eldon is the right fit for me.'
0:01:02 > 0:01:05# The world's ending, ooh, ooh... #
0:01:05 > 0:01:08'Winning Regionals was amazing
0:01:08 > 0:01:11'but winning it with James made it a million times better.'
0:01:11 > 0:01:13Whoo! Whoo!
0:01:13 > 0:01:15# Take me away from this insanity... #
0:01:16 > 0:01:19'Right now, my relationship with Riley couldn't be going better.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22'I mean, we've been together for quite a bit now, so it's going great.
0:01:24 > 0:01:28Everyone at the studio has been calling me and James "Jiley"...
0:01:28 > 0:01:30but it's basically just a combination of our names.
0:01:30 > 0:01:34So James and Riley smooshed together makes Jiley.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37# The world's ending, ooh, ooh #
0:01:37 > 0:01:40# Just you and me in this galaxy... #
0:01:41 > 0:01:44'Looking back, this season has definitely been a bumpy ride,
0:01:44 > 0:01:45'I guess.'
0:01:45 > 0:01:49But, you know, Nationals is coming up, erm...
0:01:49 > 0:01:54I... I'm still me, I have my pride, I'm going to...
0:01:54 > 0:01:56I'm going to move forward. Erm...
0:01:59 > 0:02:01..It's hard.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04THEY CHEER
0:02:04 > 0:02:07'I love my team with all my heart and
0:02:07 > 0:02:09we have what it takes to win Nationals.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14'I am so ready for Nationals.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17'I might have to work on my technique a bit but...'
0:02:17 > 0:02:18I got the flash down.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22# There's no way to stop this now
0:02:22 > 0:02:24# No-one to bring us down... #
0:02:24 > 0:02:27'I feel so great about my team right now.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29'We're connecting in such a different way
0:02:29 > 0:02:32'because now we have that Regionals win under our belts.'
0:02:32 > 0:02:34And it's so great to have everyone together
0:02:34 > 0:02:36soaking in that amazing moment.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41# La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la... #
0:02:41 > 0:02:44'I am a little worried about the cost of going to Nationals.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47'Especially since I knew I couldn't afford Regionals.'
0:02:47 > 0:02:49I'm assuming Nationals is going to be so
0:02:49 > 0:02:52much more expensive. I don't know how I'm going to get there
0:02:52 > 0:02:53but nothing's going to stop me.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56# There's no way to stop this now
0:02:56 > 0:02:59# No-one to bring us down
0:02:59 > 0:03:01# Just you and me... #
0:03:01 > 0:03:03'I've never been to Nationals before
0:03:03 > 0:03:05'so I don't really know what to expect.'
0:03:05 > 0:03:07And I'm so excited!

0:03:48 > 0:03:50# When I see you watching me I lose my mind
0:03:50 > 0:03:53# Only want to stop it just to hit rewind
0:03:53 > 0:03:56# Rewind. #
0:04:02 > 0:04:05- There you go.- Thank you.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07Here's to winning Regionals.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09You know, it's too bad The Juice Bar shut down
0:04:09 > 0:04:11but this place is really nice.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13- I kind of like it better, to be honest.- Yeah.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16Culture Shock is this new place
0:04:16 > 0:04:18that moved in after Squeezed moved out.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20'You can listen to records, you can get juice, you can
0:04:20 > 0:04:22'buy clothes.'
0:04:22 > 0:04:24And it's more of an urban store.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27- Yeah, I can't wait to go to Nationals.- Yeah.
0:04:27 > 0:04:28I can't wait to go with you.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33So how are we going to tell everyone about us?
0:04:35 > 0:04:36We just got together
0:04:36 > 0:04:39and we're really close and I want to be able to talk to people about it.
0:04:39 > 0:04:43Honestly, I don't...I don't know if we should just quite yet.
0:04:43 > 0:04:44'I feel like it's too early to speak to
0:04:44 > 0:04:47'anyone about the status of our relationship
0:04:47 > 0:04:50because we just won Regionals. And it's so big to everyone
0:04:50 > 0:04:52that I just kind of want to keep it on the down-low.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55- What do you think? - Yeah. Sounds good.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57So like, our little secret.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59Yeah. It's a good secret to have.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14Hello, hello!
0:05:14 > 0:05:17Right now we're just having a party at the studio
0:05:17 > 0:05:18for our Regionals win.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20Chloe, hi!
0:05:20 > 0:05:23Everyone from B-troupe, and J-troupe and A-troupe
0:05:23 > 0:05:26is all there to celebrate.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29Yo! What's up, man? How you been?
0:05:29 > 0:05:31So, what's up? What did you do this weekend?
0:05:31 > 0:05:34- Um, not much...just hung around. - Chill with Emily?
0:05:34 > 0:05:37No, she hasn't actually talked to me since Regionals.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39- All right. - 'Emily has been very distant.'
0:05:39 > 0:05:41Ever since Regionals... I don't know,
0:05:41 > 0:05:44I think something's going on with her.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47CROWD CHATTERS
0:05:47 > 0:05:49- Oh, hey, Giselle! - Hi, sweetie, how are you?
0:05:49 > 0:05:51- I'm good, how are you? - Good, thank you.
0:05:51 > 0:05:52Does she even know you?
0:05:52 > 0:05:55No. But it's always smart to talk to an A-Troupe Dancer.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57OK, J-Troupe's got some sass this year!
0:05:57 > 0:06:00- Tell me about it. - Little sassafrass.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03- But you know, I can't even lie. I was totally the same way.- Mm-hmm.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06Do you ever notice that Beth looks at you a lot?
0:06:06 > 0:06:08HE CLEARS HIS THROAT
0:06:10 > 0:06:14No. No, I haven't really noticed that at all.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16OK... 'Beth is this girl from B-Troupe.'
0:06:16 > 0:06:19I know her and James had a thing a while back.
0:06:19 > 0:06:23But that was a while back, so, she just needs to get over him.
0:06:23 > 0:06:24Fast.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27- Ah, I wouldn't worry about it. - Yo, Daniel!- Hey.- Hey, man!
0:06:27 > 0:06:29Oh, Daniel's here. I'm going to holler at my boy.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31I'll catch you later.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33- Hey, Riley!- Hey! - How are you? Oh!
0:06:33 > 0:06:35- I'm good.- Nice haircut!- Thank you!
0:06:35 > 0:06:37- You look mature.- Oh, thank you. - You're welcome.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40- Hey!- Doesn't this guy look good, man! You're walking!
0:06:40 > 0:06:41- That's crazy. - I know, isn't that great?
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Daniel really badly sprained his ankle
0:06:43 > 0:06:45before Regionals, so he couldn't compete with us.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47He's all healed now, so...
0:06:47 > 0:06:50I'm excited to be dancing again with him this season.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52- Nice.- No, the surgery went awesome, I've totally healed.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55- I can do anything, I've been practising, too.- Good to hear.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58'It's really strong, too, almost stronger than my other ankle.'
0:06:58 > 0:07:00It's stronger than a lot of other people's ankles.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02Doctor said not to worry at all so
0:07:02 > 0:07:04I might take it a little easy but I'm not going to
0:07:04 > 0:07:05worry about it like I did before.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07Miss Kate's going to be happy with it,
0:07:07 > 0:07:09because it's just so much stronger...
0:07:09 > 0:07:11Why do you keep on talking about your ankle?
0:07:11 > 0:07:12We get it. You're healthy.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14- You're good.- Yeah. - Awesome. Yeah.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Yeah, well, I guess you haven't noticed that there's
0:07:16 > 0:07:1911 of us in A-Troupe and they only need ten
0:07:19 > 0:07:23dancers for Nationals, so, who do you think's not going to go?
0:07:23 > 0:07:26- That's true. - Yeah, good point.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28Yeah, but my ankle feels good, so...
0:07:28 > 0:07:30Yeah, well, you know what? My ankle feels good, too.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32- Yeah, same. - Yeah, yours too?
0:07:32 > 0:07:34- Yeah, yours...? - Cool. So we're all on the same page?
0:07:34 > 0:07:39- We're all good. Ankles are all good. - All right, yeah. Cool.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42- I'm just kidding. - SHE LAUGHS
0:07:42 > 0:07:44- Hi.- You look so stylish.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48I am a little disappointed
0:07:48 > 0:07:50when Michelle wants to keep our relationship a secret.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53I know that I haven't told anyone and that he hasn't told anyone
0:07:53 > 0:07:55and that's the way I want to keep it.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57So let's keep our relationship on the down-low.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59- Yeah, for sure.- OK.
0:07:59 > 0:08:00You want some drinks?
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Yeah, that's so sweet of you.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10Entering the party, there's really...
0:08:10 > 0:08:12well, there's one thought on my mind,
0:08:12 > 0:08:16and that's to make everyone think that I am cool, calm and collected.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18- Hi!- What's up?
0:08:18 > 0:08:20- Hey, Emily. - Hi...hi.
0:08:23 > 0:08:27She seems to be taking this extremely well.
0:08:27 > 0:08:28No, I don't think so.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33- Why's she so happy? - Wonder how long it'll be until
0:08:33 > 0:08:35- she starts up the drama, though. - True that, man.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37You know what, I don't think she will.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39- Nah?- Really? - No, man, I think she's pretty chill.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41- A changed Emily. - A changed Emily.- Something new.
0:08:41 > 0:08:45I didn't want people to think I couldn't handle it
0:08:45 > 0:08:47because I'm fine.
0:08:51 > 0:08:52I'm fine.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03Yo, look. # Let's go crazy... #
0:09:03 > 0:09:06- Oh, hey!- Whoo! # It feels amazing... #
0:09:06 > 0:09:09So, Riley and I are catching up, and I look over and I see
0:09:09 > 0:09:11Noah and Gabby having a pirouette-off.
0:09:11 > 0:09:15And Noah is actually doing really well.
0:09:15 > 0:09:19OK, Noah. You and me. You ready?
0:09:19 > 0:09:22'I'm going to try and go a little easy on Noah.'
0:09:22 > 0:09:25Cos I know what it feels like to be a J-Trouper,
0:09:25 > 0:09:27but he's got to learn the hard way.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29One, two, three!
0:09:29 > 0:09:32Oh, oh. Oh...
0:09:37 > 0:09:41I was going easy on Noah. Yeah.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44- I mean, I am in a dress. - Yeah, that's your excuse.
0:09:44 > 0:09:45Is that what it is?
0:09:45 > 0:09:47You know what, West? We'll talk later.
0:09:47 > 0:09:51Kate, I really got to talk to you, like, right now.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54- OK.- OK?- OK, what is it? - Hey, everybody!
0:09:54 > 0:09:57Sorry to interrupt you I just have a quick announcement.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59'I have a lot on my plate right now, I have a lot to deal with.'
0:09:59 > 0:10:03I just needed to handle the situation, so I did.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06All right, Michelle and Eldon, stand.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10Let's go! Don't keep everybody waiting.
0:10:12 > 0:10:16All right, some of you might think that Eldon and I are dating.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18We're not.
0:10:19 > 0:10:23Surprise! He's actually dating Michelle now.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25When Emily tells everyone, I'm just thinking
0:10:25 > 0:10:27how this is going to affect the team.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29I have really strong feelings for Eldon
0:10:29 > 0:10:31and I know he does for me, too.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34And so I just hope everyone else can see that.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37I feel like that is probably the most hurtful thing
0:10:37 > 0:10:39you could do to somebody.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42Obviously, this explains why Emily's been acting so weird.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44So, you know, I just wanted to tell everyone that
0:10:44 > 0:10:48because I wanted you all to find out at the right time.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51- Not the wrong time. - THEY LAUGH
0:10:51 > 0:10:55Oh, Michelle, let's have a friendly handshake. Oh, come on.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57No hard feelings between these gals.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59So how about a round of applause
0:10:59 > 0:11:01- for the happy couple? - APPLAUSE
0:11:01 > 0:11:03The happiest couple The Next Step has ever seen.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06Now back to the party! Whoo! OK.
0:11:07 > 0:11:11CROWD MURMURS
0:11:20 > 0:11:22CROWD CHATTERS
0:11:22 > 0:11:27OK, so that took about 1.26 seconds for her to start drama.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29- I told you. - Yeah, you were right, OK.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31No, but if you actually think about it, man,
0:11:31 > 0:11:33Eldon actually started the drama.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35Eldon, please...
0:11:35 > 0:11:37we don't need any more drama in The Next Step.
0:11:37 > 0:11:38I mean, we're going to Nationals.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41Em.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44Em, are you OK?
0:11:44 > 0:11:46Of course, why wouldn't I be?
0:11:46 > 0:11:47Because of what just happened.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49You didn't tell me about any of this.
0:11:49 > 0:11:53It's just humiliating, I mean I...
0:11:53 > 0:11:54I just don't want to talk about it.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56I mean, when did this even happen?
0:11:56 > 0:11:59- Regionals, ha...- Regionals?
0:11:59 > 0:12:01Yup. But you know what? It's fine, I'm fine.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04- There's nothing I can do and I'm just moving on, OK?- OK...
0:12:04 > 0:12:07OK, but just know that I'm here for you, OK?
0:12:09 > 0:12:11Thank you.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22# And I want it more than dancin'
0:12:22 > 0:12:27# You're young and so beautiful. #
0:12:28 > 0:12:31- Sarah?- Yeah. - Can you man the table for me?
0:12:31 > 0:12:32Yeah, no worries.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36- How's my hair? - Horrible.- Ugh.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41- Oh, my gosh.- She's going.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43She's determined.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46Beth pursuing James is definitely a lost cause.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49I mean, clearly, James and Riley are a couple, they're Jiley.
0:12:49 > 0:12:50I mean, they have a name.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52Beth and James, like, that doesn't even go.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57Hey, James.
0:12:57 > 0:12:58What's up?
0:12:58 > 0:13:00How's it going?
0:13:00 > 0:13:01I'm just chilling.
0:13:02 > 0:13:06So...did you think about what I told you at Regionals?
0:13:06 > 0:13:08What did you tell me at Regionals?
0:13:09 > 0:13:12Really? You...don't remember?
0:13:12 > 0:13:15No, no, what did you tell me?
0:13:15 > 0:13:17That I love you.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19Hmm. Mm-hmm.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22- And I still really mean what I said. - Yeah, erm...
0:13:22 > 0:13:24Erm...
0:13:24 > 0:13:27- What do you think?- Erm...
0:13:27 > 0:13:29It's definitely kind of awkward.
0:13:29 > 0:13:33I mean, yeah, I used to like her and she's not completely annoying now
0:13:33 > 0:13:36but I definitely don't love her.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38Yeah, erm...
0:13:38 > 0:13:41Erm...I think...
0:13:41 > 0:13:43I think you'll be fine.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45James is a loyal boyfriend,
0:13:45 > 0:13:48you know, he's... I can trust him.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53- Hey James...- Hey. - Do you want to get something to eat,
0:13:53 > 0:13:55- I'm kind of hungry?- I'm starving. - All right.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00Bye, James.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03MUSIC: You Are The One by The Next Step
0:14:03 > 0:14:06# Get up, get up and run Run away with me
0:14:06 > 0:14:08# You are the one Oh, can't you see? #
0:14:10 > 0:14:13And I've been doing some thinking about my position here
0:14:13 > 0:14:16at The Next Step Studio and I feel, personally, that...
0:14:16 > 0:14:19Look, sorry, I really have to deal with this love triangle.
0:14:19 > 0:14:20Later, OK?
0:14:22 > 0:14:24You two.
0:14:24 > 0:14:25You.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28Office, now.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31Maybe Michelle and Eldon will finally
0:14:31 > 0:14:33get their just deserts.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35Because...that would be great.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37'Really, really, great.'
0:14:37 > 0:14:41Listen, we're going to Nationals this year. OK? Nationals.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43That's serious business.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45Takes a lot of work and a lot of teamwork.
0:14:45 > 0:14:50And what you guys have just done has risked all of that.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53'I really hope I didn't put the team at risk by dating Eldon.'
0:14:53 > 0:14:56I think Emily and I are both professional
0:14:56 > 0:14:58and you know, we can put things behind us,
0:14:58 > 0:14:59I mean, we are co-captains.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02We're sorry, we're just following our hearts.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05- EMILY SNORTS - I'm sorry.- Mm-hmm.
0:15:05 > 0:15:09'It is extremely awkward being in a room with Emily.'
0:15:09 > 0:15:11I can just feel the tension in the air.
0:15:11 > 0:15:16Miss Kate, I see no reason why anyone should be affected but me.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18And I'm fine.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20Emily, of course you're not fine.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23Miss Kate, you know me. I'm practical.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25Nationals.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27No matter what Michelle and Eldon do,
0:15:27 > 0:15:31they're not going to take that away from me.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33No-one is.
0:15:33 > 0:15:37I need you all to promise that we are going to put this behind us.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39- I promise.- Michelle?
0:15:39 > 0:15:41Of course I promise, Miss Kate.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43Emily?
0:15:43 > 0:15:46- Sure, I promise.- Good.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49Now that we're all in agreement, I want you guys to go out
0:15:49 > 0:15:51and enjoy whatever's left of this party
0:15:51 > 0:15:53and then we have Regionals pictures afterwards.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56- Thanks, Miss Kate. - Thanks, Miss Kate.
0:15:56 > 0:15:57- Thank you.- Thank you.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00It's not up to me to control their lives.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02They're allowed to do whatever else they want,
0:16:02 > 0:16:04as long as it doesn't affect the team.
0:16:12 > 0:16:13OK, perfect!
0:16:13 > 0:16:16You've got lots of film in there? We're good?
0:16:16 > 0:16:19All right. Everyone say, "Nationals".
0:16:19 > 0:16:21ALL: Nationals!
0:16:21 > 0:16:23Right now we are taking Regionals photos
0:16:23 > 0:16:26with our nice big shiny trophy.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29Oh, yeah, that's perfect.
0:16:29 > 0:16:30Yup...
0:16:30 > 0:16:32THEY CHATTER
0:16:36 > 0:16:38Erm, guys...
0:16:38 > 0:16:40ROOM GROWS SILENT
0:16:40 > 0:16:43When Amanda walks in, my jaw drops.
0:16:43 > 0:16:44What is she doing here?
0:16:44 > 0:16:47I really got to see Amanda's true colours at Elite.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50I didn't trust her there. I don't trust her here.
0:16:50 > 0:16:54- What are you doing here? - Yeah, what are you doing here?
0:16:54 > 0:16:55I'm here to audition.
0:16:56 > 0:17:00I don't know if Amanda knows this but, we already have our team.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03And, we're not planning on changing it now.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05She must have fallen down and hit her head.
0:17:05 > 0:17:10Amanda, you can't be serious. We're not holding auditions.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12But you guys won Regionals.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14That means that between Regionals and Nationals
0:17:14 > 0:17:17you guys are allowed to change up your dance team.
0:17:17 > 0:17:18What?
0:17:18 > 0:17:21Usually dancers from other studios that lost Regionals
0:17:21 > 0:17:23- try to get on a winning team. - You're making this up.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25Actually, Emily, she's not.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27We did it at my old studio, it's called "The Challenge".
0:17:27 > 0:17:29And at Elite, we called it "The Winnowing".
0:17:29 > 0:17:32Winnowing - when you separate the wheat from the chaff.
0:17:32 > 0:17:36- What? - West. Not now.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39Michelle, this is a real thing?
0:17:39 > 0:17:41Yes, it's a real thing.
0:17:41 > 0:17:45So apparently it was true. But it doesn't mean it's not a scheme.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47See?
0:17:47 > 0:17:50Regardless, The Next Step has our team,
0:17:50 > 0:17:54and you're not on it.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57OK, but you guys need me.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02- Need you? Goodbye.- We need her?
0:18:02 > 0:18:04The idea of The Challenge,
0:18:04 > 0:18:08aside from that whole Amanda thing, is kind of intriguing.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11I would be open to it, I think.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15# I'm flyin', I'm flyin'
0:18:15 > 0:18:18# Can you hear my voice when it's callin'? #
0:18:18 > 0:18:22Ah, Chris, I'm so sorry that I haven't been able to talk to you.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24It's been a crazy day. Crazy kids.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26- Hey, hey, I understand. Big celebration.- Anyway.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28- Yes.- And that's very important right now.- Yeah.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31But I've been meaning to tell you something... Erm...
0:18:31 > 0:18:33I've been offered a new job.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36What?
0:18:36 > 0:18:40I'm taking a co-owner position at Super Star Dance Academy.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42- I know, I'm sorry... - 'I can't believe it.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45I mean, he's been with The Next Step for so long
0:18:45 > 0:18:47and the fact that after we just won Regionals.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50Chris, we need you for Nationals. We can't do this without you.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53Kate, you have to understand that if The Next Step loses,
0:18:53 > 0:18:55I won't be as marketable.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57I wish he wasn't going, but...
0:18:57 > 0:18:58I'm happy for him.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00Hugzies?
0:19:00 > 0:19:03- Hugzies. You want hugzies? - Come on, hugzies. Come here.
0:19:03 > 0:19:04But, erm, do me a favour.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07I don't want to talk to the kids about it right now.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10- If you could do that, that'd be great.- Of course, of course.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12- All right.- I'll see you out, I guess. - Yup.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15I'm sad, but I'm also happy, and
0:19:15 > 0:19:17it's not the last time she's going to see me.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20Or the dolphin tail. HE SQUEAKS LIKE A DOLPHIN
0:19:20 > 0:19:23- So, what do we think about The Challenge?- The Challenge? Pft!
0:19:23 > 0:19:25The Challenge. I'm not even worried about The Challenge.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28Hey, you want to see a challenge? Hold my fedora.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30- Hold it.- Hold it!- I'm holding it.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34Mmm...
0:19:34 > 0:19:36- Casual.- Casual. Yeah, just casually.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38I mean... I'll, I'll work on my flips.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40- Yeah.- Yeah.- Chloe.- Yup.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43- Could I just talk to Michelle? Co-captain stuff.- Totally.
0:19:43 > 0:19:44Thank you.
0:19:47 > 0:19:51Listen, The Challenge. I think we should do it.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55I know A-Troupe is going to change
0:19:55 > 0:19:57and I don't know if I'm up to doing it.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00You know if we do do The Challenge that there's a really good
0:20:00 > 0:20:02possibility that Amanda will make it?
0:20:02 > 0:20:04No, as co-captains, we judge.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07There's no way Amanda's going to make it in.
0:20:07 > 0:20:08True.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11I want to do The Challenge because I want to be sure,
0:20:11 > 0:20:14and at the end of it we will have the best team.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16Look, The Next Step deserves the title at Nationals.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19I think we should do it.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22You've done it before. Did it work well at your old studio?
0:20:22 > 0:20:24It worked really well at my old studio.
0:20:24 > 0:20:25I think that by doing The Challenge,
0:20:25 > 0:20:28The Next Step will become the strongest studio.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30- OK.- Good, thank you.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34Em, wait. Are we cool?
0:20:34 > 0:20:35As ice.
0:20:41 > 0:20:42I think our team is great,
0:20:42 > 0:20:46but there's no harm in seeing what else is out there.
0:20:46 > 0:20:50I really don't like the idea of The Challenge. It seems unfair.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52We won Regionals as a team like this,
0:20:52 > 0:20:54so why would we change anything?
0:20:54 > 0:20:56This is going to change everything.
