0:00:02 > 0:00:04- Previously on The Next Step: - So, I passed?
0:00:04 > 0:00:06- You're a heck of a driver. - Yes, man.
0:00:06 > 0:00:09Boom. Another check off the list.
0:00:09 > 0:00:12So, I thought you should know that I've decided to let you join me.
0:00:12 > 0:00:14- It's finally happening. - OK, here.
0:00:14 > 0:00:18Amanda stole all of our costumes and threw them in the garbage.
0:00:18 > 0:00:22- Hey, guys.- West finds the costumes in the garbage.
0:00:22 > 0:00:25I knew Emily set me up and I knew I couldn't trust her.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38Right now, I'm in the office just doing some filing work.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40I have Chloe counting some money for us,
0:00:40 > 0:00:43and Margie's mom dropped her off a little bit early for baby ballet,
0:00:43 > 0:00:45so she's in there with us as well.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48Chloe, how's baby ballet going?
0:00:48 > 0:00:51- I think it's going well. - It's going fantastic.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55Oh, really? Looks like you have the Margie stamp of approval.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58She certainly does.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00Margie is kind of like
0:01:00 > 0:01:03my guardian angel.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05She's really helped me
0:01:05 > 0:01:09come out of my shell and grow more confident.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11Oh, Margie.
0:01:11 > 0:01:15Margie, you're not allowed to draw on money.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17You can't draw on money, it's the law.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20Even though it is a really nice happy face.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22I'm sorry.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24That's OK.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29This is our nationals money. It's very important.
0:01:29 > 0:01:33But I'm just about done, so we should get going to baby ballet class.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35Make sure you lock that up in the lock box in my desk.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38- Thanks, ladies.- It's a lot of weight on my shoulders
0:01:38 > 0:01:41knowing that I'm trusted with all the money that goes in to the studio,
0:01:41 > 0:01:44but I'm actually really happy that Miss Kate trusts me
0:01:44 > 0:01:46enough to be that person.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48Emily and I are just stretching at the bar,
0:01:48 > 0:01:51and we see Chloe counting money,
0:01:51 > 0:01:54and a bell goes off in my head.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56Make sure you lock that drawer up good.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59I'll make sure. Watch.
0:02:03 > 0:02:07Next job? We're going to get Chloe kicked out of the studio.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12All right, you ready?
0:02:12 > 0:02:14Let's go.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16I have to find a way to stop Amanda.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19If I don't, Chloe's going to get kicked out of The Next Step.
0:03:12 > 0:03:16Right now, we're just watching Amanda perform her solo,
0:03:16 > 0:03:18and I think she's ready for nationals.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27Nice!
0:03:31 > 0:03:35Amanda is great. She stepped up as a dance captain
0:03:35 > 0:03:37when we really needed somebody to be a leader,
0:03:37 > 0:03:40and she's doing great things for our team.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47Good. Really deep in that plie.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49The solo's coming along really well.
0:03:49 > 0:03:53I think she's so talented and she's starting to really push herself.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56I definitely think we have a chance to win this round with Amanda.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58Here we go! Really intense!
0:04:00 > 0:04:03Emily, on the other hand,
0:04:03 > 0:04:05hasn't had her mind in the right place.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08She shows up late, she's being mean to people,
0:04:08 > 0:04:11and it's just not who I thought Emily was.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19Nice!
0:04:19 > 0:04:21Seeing everyone put all their trust in Amanda,
0:04:21 > 0:04:23and none of it in Emily
0:04:23 > 0:04:25is really hard.
0:04:25 > 0:04:29- Here we go!- I just wish they knew what Amanda's real plan was,
0:04:29 > 0:04:33so they could understand why Emily's doing what she's doing.
0:04:36 > 0:04:37Nice!
0:04:40 > 0:04:42Great job, Amanda.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46All right. Well, now that I have you guys all here,
0:04:46 > 0:04:49I need someone to get trained in first aid for nationals.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51At least one person from every team at nationals
0:04:51 > 0:04:54needs to have at least some sort of first aid training.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56Oh, James will do it.
0:04:56 > 0:04:57Um, No, I won't.
0:04:57 > 0:05:01Riley, I don't have time for CPR. I'm taking scuba diving lessons
0:05:01 > 0:05:03for number seven right now, OK?
0:05:03 > 0:05:06- Why not?- That's not on the list.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08OK, how about I trade it for number seven?
0:05:08 > 0:05:10- Number seven?- Yeah.- So I don't have to learn juggling,
0:05:10 > 0:05:13- or get my passport any more or anything?- Nope.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15I am down to switch. OK.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17On one condition, though.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19If you do it with me.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21THEY CHEER
0:05:22 > 0:05:25OK, OK, fine, I'll do it.
0:05:25 > 0:05:26OK, great.
0:05:26 > 0:05:30Doing first aid training kind of seems a little bit boring,
0:05:30 > 0:05:34but the fact that it's with James means it'll probably be kind of fun.
0:05:42 > 0:05:46Right now, Amanda and I are stealing money from the office.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50I've probably never felt so awful in my entire life.
0:05:50 > 0:05:54Chloe's just an easy target. She has to work to stay at the studio.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57It makes the most sense for her to steal the money
0:05:57 > 0:05:58because she needs it the most.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00So here's the plan.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02Steal the lockbox key...
0:06:03 > 0:06:04Got it.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06..and replace it with an identical one
0:06:06 > 0:06:08so she doesn't know it's missing.
0:06:08 > 0:06:13We go into Kate's office, open up the lockbox,
0:06:13 > 0:06:15take the money and plant it in Chloe's bag.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17Chloe looks completely guilty.
0:06:17 > 0:06:18Make sure you zip it.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23I feel awful about framing Chloe.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27I really hope I can fix this before anything bad happens.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41Right now, I'm just chilling with Riley,
0:06:41 > 0:06:42waiting for the course to start.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45You know, you get the benefit of saving lives from this,
0:06:45 > 0:06:47but what's more important is saving our relationship.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49- You know that matters. - Of course.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51Once I'm done this class, I'm done the list.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53I'm back together with Riley.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56- Hey, how are you doing? - Oh, how are you?
0:06:56 > 0:06:58Good. It's nice to meet you. I'm James.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00- Oh, I'm the bingo lady. - The bingo lady?
0:07:00 > 0:07:02That's what they call me down at the hall.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05OK, so you play bingo down at the hall?
0:07:05 > 0:07:06Bingo!
0:07:06 > 0:07:09Bingo!
0:07:09 > 0:07:12Oh, well, here we go.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14Glad to see you're all on time.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Welcome to the class, I'm Mr Abernathy
0:07:16 > 0:07:18and I'll be your CPR instructor today.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21- Oh, wonderful.- Yeah, wonderful. You, come up here.- Oh, yes.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23- Come on up here. What's your name? - Dorothy.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26Dorothy's just experiencing heart pains.
0:07:26 > 0:07:30- I am?- What do we do? Someone, anyone, what do you do?
0:07:30 > 0:07:34Thank you very much, we just lost our first patient. She's dead.
0:07:34 > 0:07:35How does it feel?
0:07:35 > 0:07:36The instructor...
0:07:38 > 0:07:41Well, to wrap him up in one word is intense.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44You know what? I don't think you're ready for this. Why don't you leave?
0:07:44 > 0:07:47- Me?- Yeah. Yeah, you.
0:07:47 > 0:07:48Lesson number two, everyone,
0:07:48 > 0:07:51if you don't pay attention, you will be leaving this class today.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54The instructor is, like, as bad as the driving instructor.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57Why is every instructor just crazy?
0:07:57 > 0:08:00- I thought this was going to be fun. - Excuse me?
0:08:00 > 0:08:03- Sorry?- Could you share that with the class, what you just said?
0:08:03 > 0:08:06- With the class? - With everyone, yeah. Stand up.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11Uh, I thought this was going to be fun.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14You thought this was going to be fun.
0:08:14 > 0:08:18- Yeah.- Who else thinks that this might be fun?
0:08:18 > 0:08:21Anyone? I'll show you what's fun.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26Scrapbooking Tuesdays, that's fun.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44Right now, I'm just moving the money from Chloe's bag to Amanda's bag
0:08:44 > 0:08:47so it looks like she stole the money.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49When everyone finds out she did,
0:08:49 > 0:08:51obviously, she'll have to be kicked out of the studio.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53And then I can get my life back.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04All right, you should know a couple of things by now.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07Unresponsive, non-breathing. What do you do?
0:09:07 > 0:09:10Um, compressions, airway...
0:09:11 > 0:09:13- ..and breathing.- That's right.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16Yeah. You're getting better. And what don't we do any more?
0:09:16 > 0:09:18We don't check pulse.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20That's exactly right, Dorothy.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22- Bingo!- Bingo!
0:09:22 > 0:09:25No, only she says Bingo.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29- Yeah.- Dorothy, um,
0:09:29 > 0:09:31she's kind of out there for a grandma.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34Now, everybody, get up!
0:09:35 > 0:09:37I'm going to pair you guys up.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40This is for our first aid and CPR, artificial respiration stuff.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44Two. You and you.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46Hold up, hold up. Us?
0:09:46 > 0:09:48Do you have a problem with that?
0:09:48 > 0:09:49- Um, no?- No?
0:09:49 > 0:09:53Because if you do, we can get you to leave. Do you want that?
0:09:53 > 0:09:55- No.- Do you have a problem with him?
0:09:55 > 0:09:58- Oh, no, I like that idea. - Great.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01Not only does James get paired with
0:10:01 > 0:10:02the old bingo lady.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04And you two, I'll put you together for the day.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06I like that idea too.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08But I get paired with a hot guy.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11Turns out today's going to be a lot better than I thought.
0:10:19 > 0:10:23I was going to deposit some of the registration money in the bank,
0:10:23 > 0:10:26and I went to open the lockbox and the money is gone...
0:10:27 > 0:10:30which means that someone had access to a key
0:10:30 > 0:10:31and stole the money.
0:10:36 > 0:10:40- Someone stole the nationals money! - Whoa! What?
0:10:40 > 0:10:43I can't believe somebody would steal the money.
0:10:43 > 0:10:47People worked hard for that money, you can't just steal it.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50I'm shocked. I don't know what to think.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53I don't know how the money could've gotten stolen.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56Chloe, in my office now!
0:11:03 > 0:11:05Now that my plan is set in motion,
0:11:05 > 0:11:08The Next Step will see that their dream of going to nationals
0:11:08 > 0:11:10will disappear before their eyes.
0:11:18 > 0:11:22Al right, now Dorothy is unresponsive, not breathing,
0:11:22 > 0:11:23no signs of life.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25What's the first thing you do?
0:11:27 > 0:11:30- Compressions. - Compressions, that's right.
0:11:30 > 0:11:34Is it even legal that we're doing mouth-to-mouth in a class like this?
0:11:34 > 0:11:38There you go. Nice, clear airway. And next?
0:11:39 > 0:11:43- Breath.- Breath. The kiss of life.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45Are you serious right now?
0:11:45 > 0:11:48He's not going to make me kiss her.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51- I can't do it.- What are you waiting for? What's next?
0:11:51 > 0:11:54- Riley?- Do you want this relationship?
0:11:56 > 0:11:59Focus. What's next?
0:11:59 > 0:12:02Poor James. This is probably the hardest thing on the list.
0:12:02 > 0:12:06But that doesn't make it any less entertaining.
0:12:06 > 0:12:07Come on.
0:12:08 > 0:12:12All I'm thinking is "Do it for Riley, do it for Riley, do it for Riley."
0:12:12 > 0:12:14And...
0:12:15 > 0:12:16Bingo!
0:12:17 > 0:12:19Stop!
0:12:19 > 0:12:21Ooh, gotcha.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24Having to do mouth-to-mouth with the bingo lady was, uh...
0:12:27 > 0:12:31I don't know, I don't really ever want to talk about it ever again.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41You've got some explaining to do.
0:12:41 > 0:12:46You were the only other person with a key to the lockbox.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48I know. I don't know what to tell you.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51You don't know what to tell me? Did you steal the money?
0:12:51 > 0:12:54- No, I didn't take the money. - So where did it go?
0:12:54 > 0:12:57Just upped and walked away out of the office?
0:12:57 > 0:13:00- Miss Kate looks upset. - Yeah, she's going off right now.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03I don't know what to believe. Chloe says she didn't take the money,
0:13:03 > 0:13:05but she's the only one who had access to the key.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08What am I supposed to do? This is serious! Where did it go?
0:13:08 > 0:13:10Did it just disappear?
0:13:10 > 0:13:13There's no way that Chloe could've stole the money.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15Well, who else would steal it?
0:13:15 > 0:13:18You obviously don't know Chloe.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20Emily is all over the place.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22Maybe it was Emily that stole the money.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24I can't wait to get Amanda kicked out.
0:13:24 > 0:13:28I'm just so tired of having to act this way around everyone.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31Last chance. Did you take the money?
0:13:31 > 0:13:32I didn't take it.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35I know that I don't have money,
0:13:35 > 0:13:36but...
0:13:39 > 0:13:41..I wouldn't do that to Miss Kate.
0:13:44 > 0:13:48Maybe it's best if you leave right now, while we figure this out.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03I guess maybe the best thing is for me to leave,
0:14:03 > 0:14:08because I can't be at a studio where people think that I'm stealing money.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12Or that I'm not trusted.
0:14:23 > 0:14:24Why are you crying?
0:14:26 > 0:14:28I just had a really bad day.
0:14:29 > 0:14:33Sometimes things are hard, but you have to believe in yourself.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39- I'll try.- You'll be all right.
0:14:44 > 0:14:48And who comes around the corner but Margie.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52Always, when I need her, she seems to be there.
0:14:52 > 0:14:56Or when I need help, she seems to know.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58She's right. I just need to...
0:14:58 > 0:15:02believe that everything's going to be fine and it'll work out.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05And if I stay positive,
0:15:05 > 0:15:08then I'll get to nationals and I will be there with my team.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18It's time for me to make my move.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21I'm going to expose Amanda for what she really is.
0:15:22 > 0:15:26I don't exactly know what happened, but I think Chloe took the money.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29And if she did, she's off the team.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31It's not like Chloe to do this.
0:15:31 > 0:15:32No.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34You're right, it's not.
0:15:34 > 0:15:38And that's because she didn't take the money, Amanda did.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41- Excuse me?- What?
0:15:41 > 0:15:42You're excused.
0:15:43 > 0:15:44Emily, do you have proof?
0:15:44 > 0:15:47I saw her hang around your office earlier. I didn't think
0:15:47 > 0:15:51anything of it then, but now I think we should really check that bag.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54Look, Emily, that's a very serious accusation.
0:15:54 > 0:15:55Are you sure she took it?
0:15:55 > 0:15:58It's pretty ridiculous that Emily is now accusing Amanda
0:15:58 > 0:15:59of stealing the money.
0:15:59 > 0:16:03There's no way that Amanda stole the money. No way.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06- There's only one way to find out. - OK, really?
0:16:06 > 0:16:09This is ridiculous. I have nothing to hide.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12You want to check my bag? Check my bag.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14- Right now.- OK, fine.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17We'll check the bag.
0:16:17 > 0:16:18Emily, are you sure?
0:16:18 > 0:16:20In the bag, there will be the money,
0:16:20 > 0:16:22and that'll prove that Chloe is innocent
0:16:22 > 0:16:25and that Amanda is as guilty as can be.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32- There's nothing in here. No key, nothing.- I told you.
0:16:32 > 0:16:36The money's not in my bag because I had a feeling Emily was going to frame me.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38Emily, give me your bag.
0:16:38 > 0:16:42So, I took the money, hid it,
0:16:42 > 0:16:44and the lockbox key is in Emily's bag.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47I know it's going to be in my bag.
0:16:47 > 0:16:51She wouldn't accuse me if she hadn't already put it there.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55- Really?- Wow.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58- Eldon, get the lockbox.- OK. Come on, Emily.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00You really let Chloe take the blame?
0:17:00 > 0:17:04Every time I try to expose Amanda, she's one step ahead of me.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07- I'm done.- If this opens...
0:17:13 > 0:17:16How could you do something like that?
0:17:16 > 0:17:19When everyone yelled at you and you thought they hated you, I came
0:17:19 > 0:17:24to you trying to be your friend, and then you pull a stunt like this?
0:17:24 > 0:17:25Thanks. Thanks a lot.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28Amanda, this may not have worked,
0:17:28 > 0:17:30but, in the end, you're going to get yours, OK?
0:17:30 > 0:17:33You have no idea what you're talking about.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35They're not going to believe me no matter what I say.
0:17:35 > 0:17:3814 years at The Next Step and this is how it ends.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46There's nothing else I can do. I don't have a plan.
0:17:48 > 0:17:52Maybe it's just time I take a break from The Next Step.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54- Sorry.- It's OK.
0:18:04 > 0:18:08That's it. Hard and fast. 30 and two.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11Right now, we're working on compressions on CPR Charlie.
0:18:14 > 0:18:15Listen, Dorothy.
0:18:17 > 0:18:21The only reason I'm here is to get back together with my girlfriend.
0:18:21 > 0:18:25- Oh.- I came to this class to spend time with Riley,
0:18:25 > 0:18:27and I haven't been spending time with her at all.
0:18:27 > 0:18:31So I come clean to Dorothy in hopes that she'll understand.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34- Mr Abernathy.- Yes, Dorothy?
0:18:34 > 0:18:37Could you come over here for a second, please?
0:18:37 > 0:18:38What can I do for you, Dorothy.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41Is it OK if I switch with that young lady there?
0:18:41 > 0:18:44I'd kind of like to be with that young man over there.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46It feels good when Dorothy helps me out.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49I really appreciate her helping me out like that.
0:18:49 > 0:18:50Absolutely, Dorothy.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53- Oh, would you help me up, dear? - Yes, of course. Thank you.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56James is kind of like an old lady whisperer.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58- Hey, back to work, 30 and- two. Whoa!
0:18:58 > 0:19:00OK, you do them, I just did a million.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05HER PHONE BLEEPS
0:19:05 > 0:19:07Hold on.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10Phones these days, just everywhere.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12- I need to go.- What?
0:19:12 > 0:19:14- Emily needs me.- She always needs you.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17OK, but this is an emergency.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19- Actually?- Yes.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22I just got a text from Emily saying,
0:19:22 > 0:19:24"SNS", which stands for "sister needs sister."
0:19:24 > 0:19:29Which is kind of this thing we made up when we are in an emergency.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33- Mr Abernathy?- Yeah?
0:19:33 > 0:19:36She doesn't like Scrapbooking Tuesdays.
0:19:36 > 0:19:37She said it's not fun.
0:19:37 > 0:19:42- You don't like Scrapbooking Tuesdays?- No.
0:19:42 > 0:19:43Get out.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50It's nice to know that James is there for me,
0:19:50 > 0:19:53even if I couldn't really explain to him why I had to leave.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55It's nice that he understands.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05Em, I got your text. What's wrong?
0:20:05 > 0:20:10When I see Riley, I know I have to tell her what happened.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13I have to fill her in, but it's going to be really hard to say.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16Um...
0:20:16 > 0:20:20..I'm suspended and I may be kicked out of The Next Step.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24Whoa, whoa, whoa. Why did this happen?
0:20:24 > 0:20:28My plan backfired. Amanda was on to us all along.
0:20:28 > 0:20:29We did this all for nothing.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32After all of Emily's hard work,
0:20:32 > 0:20:34and everything that she had to go through,
0:20:34 > 0:20:35I'm afraid...
0:20:37 > 0:20:39..this is going to change everything.
