0:00:18 > 0:00:21# Today I travelled to parts unknown
0:00:21 > 0:00:24# Left it all behind. #
0:00:24 > 0:00:27We are officially back from nationals
0:00:27 > 0:00:28and I still can't believe we won.
0:00:28 > 0:00:32- CHEERING - Yes! Yes!
0:00:33 > 0:00:36With the momentum that we're gaining right now -
0:00:36 > 0:00:39we won regionals, we won nationals - I think TNS is ready to
0:00:39 > 0:00:41take on internationals.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43Whoo!
0:00:43 > 0:00:46# So I'm coming home
0:00:48 > 0:00:49# Yeah, I'm coming home
0:00:49 > 0:00:52- Guys, guys.- Whoo!
0:00:52 > 0:00:54# I'm coming home. #
0:00:54 > 0:00:56Michelle's not here now, because, unfortunately,
0:00:56 > 0:00:59her parents are getting a divorce and she is helping her mum
0:00:59 > 0:01:00find a place in Madison.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03And Emily's still recovering from that knee injury
0:01:03 > 0:01:05that took her out of the finals.
0:01:05 > 0:01:06# I'm coming home
0:01:06 > 0:01:09# Coming home, coming home
0:01:09 > 0:01:12# I'm coming home, coming home to you
0:01:12 > 0:01:14# I'm coming home. #
0:01:14 > 0:01:16Emily just needs to rest up and we're waiting to see
0:01:16 > 0:01:18if she can even dance at all.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21The recovery is going well, but we'll see.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23# I'm coming home.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26# Yeah, I'm coming home.
0:01:28 > 0:01:29Hit it!
0:01:29 > 0:01:32# I'm coming home, coming home, coming home
0:01:32 > 0:01:33Whoo!
0:01:34 > 0:01:35# Coming home to you. #
0:01:35 > 0:01:37'The duet that Riley and I did at nationals,
0:01:37 > 0:01:39'I felt made us closer and am hoping that'
0:01:39 > 0:01:41we get to do another one this year.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43# Ooh, coming home, home.
0:01:45 > 0:01:46Hey!
0:01:46 > 0:01:47# Coming home to you. #
0:01:47 > 0:01:49'We're just kind of celebrating our nationals win.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51'We all heard some bad news that'
0:01:51 > 0:01:53we're going to be evicted from the dance studio.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56I just really hope that this doesn't jeopardise our chances
0:01:56 > 0:01:57of going to internationals.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00'We started packing up our stuff and I really don't know what this means
0:02:00 > 0:02:02'for The Next Step at this point.'
0:02:02 > 0:02:04Right now, we don't really have a place to practise.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07Well, you don't have a place to dance right now, I do.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09Elite And The Next Step
0:02:09 > 0:02:11merge for internationals.
0:02:13 > 0:02:18# So yesterday I travelled far from home. #
0:02:18 > 0:02:19Right now I don't exactly know
0:02:19 > 0:02:21where I stand with The Next Step.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24'I came here undercover for Elite, trying to bring them down.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26'I didn't want them to go to nationals.'
0:02:26 > 0:02:28- I'm really sorry, for everything. - CHEERING
0:02:28 > 0:02:31But, when I got there, I realised that it was wrong.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33It looks like we have to officially...
0:02:33 > 0:02:35..not forfeit.
0:02:35 > 0:02:36'Emily hurt herself,
0:02:36 > 0:02:39'so I stepped in and helped them win.'
0:02:39 > 0:02:41'I totally betrayed Elite. I think that proves'
0:02:41 > 0:02:44that they can trust me.
0:02:44 > 0:02:45- CHEERING - Whoo!
0:02:45 > 0:02:46# I'm coming home
0:02:49 > 0:02:50# Coming home
0:02:52 > 0:02:55'I feel like we have a better chance than ever. We just came off'
0:02:55 > 0:03:00a huge hot streak at nationals. I think we're going to win.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02# I'm coming home
0:03:02 > 0:03:04Whoo!
0:03:04 > 0:03:05# Yeah, I'm coming home. #
0:03:05 > 0:03:08Yeah!
0:03:08 > 0:03:10Going to The Next Step was probably the best decision
0:03:10 > 0:03:12I ever made in my life.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15I can't wait to go to internationals with my team.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18- Yeah! - ALL:- Oh!
0:03:18 > 0:03:19- Hey!- Whoo!- Hey!

0:04:23 > 0:04:26I've been gone a week and Culture Shock has changed?
0:04:26 > 0:04:27What's going on? THEY LAUGH
0:04:27 > 0:04:29Yeah, I'm pretty sure it went bankrupt
0:04:29 > 0:04:31and then Hidalgo's bought it.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33- Actually, I think it's- Hidolgo's.
0:04:33 > 0:04:34- I'm pretty sure it's- Hidolgo's.- Yep.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36- HE MIMICS HER:- I'm pretty sure it's Hidalgo's.
0:04:36 > 0:04:37MICHELLE LAUGHS
0:04:37 > 0:04:40'The pronunciation of the coffee shop
0:04:40 > 0:04:43- is clearly- Hidalgo's.- OK? I don't know what the girls are saying.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45How did it go in Madison?
0:04:45 > 0:04:47It was...it was all right.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49My mum and I looked at 24 different town houses
0:04:49 > 0:04:51- and she didn't like one of them.- Wow.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54It's so annoying, my parents are driving me insane.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56'Since the win at nationals,'
0:04:56 > 0:04:59my parents have actually been going through a divorce.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01I can't deal with them any more.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04'And my mum really needs me to be there for her right now,'
0:05:04 > 0:05:06because she's moving back to Madison.
0:05:06 > 0:05:10'I've honestly never been through anything like this before and...'
0:05:10 > 0:05:11it's very hard.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14Well, at least you'll have two bedrooms now.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16And you'll get to celebrate your birthday twice.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18And I know when my friend's parents got divorced,
0:05:18 > 0:05:20she got a whole two new wardrobes.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22- Oh!- And she got a puppy. - THEY LAUGH
0:05:22 > 0:05:25- Come on, Amanda. We have an Elite meeting.- No, thanks.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28- I'm with The Next Step now. - What are you talking about?
0:05:28 > 0:05:30I'm talking about I'm with The Next Step now.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33I hope you realise that there's going to be consequences.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35That's fine.
0:05:35 > 0:05:36Come on, Tess.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38- TESS SIGHS - Chantelle, let's go.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41'If Elite is questioning what team I'm on,'
0:05:41 > 0:05:42I'm sure The Next Step is, too.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45Do you ever miss your old team?
0:05:45 > 0:05:46Miss that?
0:05:46 > 0:05:49Erm, no. But it definitely is awkward.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51I don't know if I'll ever fully trust her.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54If you betrayed us once, why wouldn't you betray us again?
0:05:54 > 0:05:56We've seen kind of two sides of Amanda
0:05:56 > 0:05:59and we don't really know what to think about her.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02It's different now and I'll do anything to prove that to you guys.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04I can even spy on Elite, if you want.
0:06:04 > 0:06:05Let's not stoop to their level.
0:06:05 > 0:06:10- Yeah, you're right. Scheming days are over!- Yeah!- Good.
0:06:10 > 0:06:11You know what you can do, though?
0:06:11 > 0:06:13You can go around and spy on some people here
0:06:13 > 0:06:18- and figure out what the proper pronunciation of- Hidalgo's- is.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20- Whatever makes you happy.- Or not.
0:06:20 > 0:06:21THEY LAUGH
0:06:24 > 0:06:28- Yo, check this out. Bam, bam, bam, bam. Oh!- Seriously?
0:06:28 > 0:06:30Yo, I wonder where internationals are going to be held this year.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33Hopefully it's Barcelona, because I have been working on my Spanish.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36HE SPEAKS SPANISH
0:06:36 > 0:06:39I'm pretty sure you just said I look like a potato.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41Don't even bother. We're probably not even going to make it
0:06:41 > 0:06:42to internationals this year.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45'We don't even have a space to rehearse right now.'
0:06:45 > 0:06:48- How are we going to come up with a dance that's- so- amazing
0:06:48 > 0:06:50that it's going to win internationals?
0:06:50 > 0:06:52We'll figure it out, we always do.
0:06:52 > 0:06:53I'm not so sure.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55- James!- Yo!
0:06:55 > 0:06:57- We've got practice, man! - For what?
0:06:57 > 0:07:01- We've got to get ready for upcoming gigs.- We have a gig?
0:07:01 > 0:07:03Not yet. That's why I said upcoming.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05'Luke is the lead singer of this new band I'm a part of.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08He plays drums, I'm the lead vocalist and I also play guitar.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10We've been practising a lot lately
0:07:10 > 0:07:12and we're starting to sound pretty good.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14- Come on, man! Hey, Riley. - OK.- Hi.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Oh, yo, you want to come to Aunt Kathy's later?
0:07:16 > 0:07:18- Why?- Oh, you'll see.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21OK. Adios muchachos!
0:07:21 > 0:07:23What?
0:07:23 > 0:07:24Seriously?
0:07:24 > 0:07:26- Hey, man.- What's up, bro?
0:07:26 > 0:07:28# Don't want to make your heart break
0:07:28 > 0:07:31# Whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh
0:07:32 > 0:07:34# Whoa, oh, oh, oh-oh!
0:07:34 > 0:07:36# Don't want to make your heart break. #
0:07:39 > 0:07:40KATE SIGHS
0:07:42 > 0:07:44- Kate?- What?
0:07:44 > 0:07:46Would you sit down? You're stressing me out.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48'Now, Phoebe and I are in Hidalgo's
0:07:48 > 0:07:50'waiting to meet the new owner of the building.'
0:07:50 > 0:07:51We are just crossing our fingers
0:07:51 > 0:07:54and hoping that the owner will give The Next Step a reprieve
0:07:54 > 0:07:57and allow us to stay in the building for at least this year.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00- Listen, do you have a plan B? - No, I don't have a plan B.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02'Having a plan B is always important,'
0:08:02 > 0:08:06because plan A tends to fall through.
0:08:06 > 0:08:07A lot.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10- Do you have a plan B?- Yes, Kate. You know I have a plan B. I always do.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13And that is to move to Tennessee and become a horse whisperer.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15You can't talk to horses, Phoebe.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18You don't talk to them, you whisper. They have very sensitive hearing.
0:08:18 > 0:08:19OK, that doesn't really help us,
0:08:19 > 0:08:21because we still don't have a studio.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23I know, I just hope that whoever this owner is,
0:08:23 > 0:08:26he's a kind and gentle soul, because, if we don't have a studio
0:08:26 > 0:08:28to rehearse in, we're not going to be ready for internationals.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30- Thanks for stating the obvious. - You're welcome.
0:08:30 > 0:08:34- Ladies!- Oh, great! What are you doing here?
0:08:34 > 0:08:37We've already told you, we have zero interest in merging with Elite.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39- Don't you want to meet the owner of the building?- Yes, we do.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42We're waiting for him, so you should probably go.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44Sorry I was late, I just had to stop
0:08:44 > 0:08:46and get the keys to my new studio!
0:08:46 > 0:08:49- That's right.- I- bought the building. - Oh, no.
0:08:49 > 0:08:50'I'm shocked.'
0:08:50 > 0:08:52I can't believe he would do something like that.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54Actually, that's a lie. Of course I can.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56Phoebe and Kate are always one step behind me
0:08:56 > 0:08:59and I'm always five steps ahead of them.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02And Kate has no choice but to merge with Elite
0:09:02 > 0:09:04and I go to internationals.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07What more do you want? I already gave The Next Step a week extension
0:09:07 > 0:09:10before I shut the place down. Wasn't that nice of me?
0:09:10 > 0:09:12- That was nice of you.- No, Phoebe, it was not nice!
0:09:12 > 0:09:14That was not nice of you.
0:09:14 > 0:09:15SHE WHISPERS: It was nice.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18This is ridiculous! You're making an impossible situation
0:09:18 > 0:09:19even more impossible.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26After that? Mm.
0:09:26 > 0:09:27DRUM BANGS
0:09:28 > 0:09:31'Luke and I have been hitting the music room pretty regularly.'
0:09:31 > 0:09:34'There's something really cool about the vibe'
0:09:34 > 0:09:35when we play together.
0:09:38 > 0:09:39'I love working with James.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42I think he's a great drummer. He finds it a little hard to balance
0:09:42 > 0:09:44between the band and dance, but he finds his way.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49THEY TALK
0:09:49 > 0:09:51'We see Luke and James in the music room
0:09:51 > 0:09:53and they're jamming, so, of course,
0:09:53 > 0:09:55what do we do? Go in and jam with them.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03'Watching the guys dance just reminds me
0:10:03 > 0:10:07'of how long it's been since we've all just hung out and cut loose.'
0:10:08 > 0:10:11CHEERING
0:10:16 > 0:10:17'Leading up to nationals,
0:10:17 > 0:10:20'we used to hang out all the time. We were bros and...'
0:10:20 > 0:10:23now he's spending a lot of time with the band and...
0:10:23 > 0:10:25I mean, it's all good, but...
0:10:25 > 0:10:26I kind of miss it.
0:10:26 > 0:10:27MUSIC QUICKENS
0:10:28 > 0:10:31'James has been spending more time with the band,
0:10:31 > 0:10:33'but that's his focus now and,
0:10:33 > 0:10:36'as his friend, I have to let him go do that.'
0:10:36 > 0:10:40I just hope he's ready to balance music and internationals.

0:10:56 > 0:10:58THEY TALK
0:10:58 > 0:11:01- There's no way that Lucien bought this building.- He went bankrupt
0:11:01 > 0:11:04- a couple of years back.- I heard one of his students bought it for him.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06- How did they have that much money? - THEY TALK
0:11:06 > 0:11:08Yo, take in that Lucien actually bought this place.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10- Wow! He straight bought it out? - Just bought it!
0:11:10 > 0:11:13No, dude, I heard he bought all the studios in the city.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15Dude, not even just the city, the region.
0:11:15 > 0:11:16Oh!
0:11:16 > 0:11:19All I know is that Lucien bought all the studios in the country
0:11:19 > 0:11:22and he's trying to turn them into ice cream shops.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24- All right, everyone gather round. - THEY TALK
0:11:24 > 0:11:27'I think it's time that the dancers know the truth.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30'They've heard so many rumours and it's my duty'
0:11:30 > 0:11:33to set them straight and let them know what's happening.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36- Lucien has bought the building. - What?- He actually bought it.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39- How can he do that?- He's insisting that we merge with Elite, otherwise
0:11:39 > 0:11:41he will shut the studio down and The Next Step
0:11:41 > 0:11:43will not be able to compete at internationals.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45- Wow.- Are you kidding? - THEY TALK
0:11:45 > 0:11:47- No! There- has- to be another way. - There is no other way!
0:11:47 > 0:11:49We have no time to find another way!
0:11:49 > 0:11:51'I'm in shock. I didn't think he would go this far.'
0:11:51 > 0:11:53This is our home, he has no right to be here.
0:11:53 > 0:11:54No!
0:11:54 > 0:11:57'We're in the middle of the dance season, there is zero time'
0:11:57 > 0:11:59to figure this out before internationals.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02You guys! You guys! Look what just came in the mail.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05- It's from The International Board. - Ooh.- And I'm so excited to read it.
0:12:05 > 0:12:06I'm just...
0:12:06 > 0:12:08- SHE CLEARS HER THROAT - That was rude.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10You guys?
0:12:10 > 0:12:11Internationals is in Miami!
0:12:11 > 0:12:13CHEERING
0:12:13 > 0:12:16'I can't believe that internationals are being held in Miami.'
0:12:16 > 0:12:18'Now that's a nice spot to have some internationals.'
0:12:18 > 0:12:21Sweet! That means I can drop some of my Spanish there.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24HE SPEAKS SPANISH: Tu ves patata.
0:12:24 > 0:12:25THEY TALK EXCITEDLY
0:12:25 > 0:12:28- Guys!- There's an exchange programme. Someone gets to go to Sweden.
0:12:28 > 0:12:29- THEY TALK - Does that mean that someone
0:12:29 > 0:12:32- from another country gets to come to The Next Step?- Yes!
0:12:32 > 0:12:34Guys, I wouldn't get so excited.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37At this point, we're not even going to internationals.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39'We don't even have a studio to rehearse in.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42'I really hope The Next Step finds a way to get to internationals,
0:12:42 > 0:12:44'but, as of right now,'
0:12:44 > 0:12:46it doesn't look like we're going.
0:12:49 > 0:12:53# How could someone be so low?
0:12:53 > 0:12:55# How could you be so low? #
0:12:58 > 0:13:01'I have no idea why James brought me to Aunt Kathy's.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03'I'm a little uncomfortable, because I've never been'
0:13:03 > 0:13:07to Aunt Kathy's before and I don't even know if she knows
0:13:07 > 0:13:08that I'm here.
0:13:08 > 0:13:09OK, Ja...!
0:13:09 > 0:13:11SHE GASPS
0:13:11 > 0:13:14Now, Riley! Oh-ho!
0:13:14 > 0:13:16Oh!
0:13:16 > 0:13:18- Well, what a very sweet surprise!- Oh!
0:13:18 > 0:13:21Aren't you just as adorable as ever?
0:13:21 > 0:13:24Put that down, James. Come, come. I need your help here.
0:13:24 > 0:13:25HE SIGHS
0:13:25 > 0:13:26SHE SIGHS
0:13:26 > 0:13:29Yes. I've got a mess on my hands.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32- Congratulations on the engagement. Let me see that bad boy.- Ooh!
0:13:32 > 0:13:35- You like that?- So who's the idiot?
0:13:35 > 0:13:38- I mean lucky guy.- Mm-hm. - When will we get to meet him?
0:13:38 > 0:13:40- When will- you- get to meet him?
0:13:40 > 0:13:41- When will- I- get to meet him?
0:13:41 > 0:13:44- THEY LAUGH - Oh, man!
0:13:44 > 0:13:46What, you haven't even met him yet?
0:13:46 > 0:13:49W-Well, of course I've met him!
0:13:49 > 0:13:52- Er, Riley, sit down.- Y-Yeah. Make yourself comfortable, honey.- Yeah.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55'Aunt Kathy can be summed up in two words - '
0:13:55 > 0:13:56"koo" and "ky".
0:14:03 > 0:14:05Hey, how's your knee?
0:14:05 > 0:14:07It's getting better.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10That's great. So, tell me all about nationals.
0:14:10 > 0:14:14It was...spectacular. Like nothing you've ever seen.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16But wasn't it kind of weird that you weren't able to dance
0:14:16 > 0:14:18with your team in the finals?
0:14:18 > 0:14:19Er, yeah, it was weird,
0:14:19 > 0:14:22but I'm just focusing on dancing at internationals.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24Well, I hope you go.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27But, if not, just know that you were such a great dance captain.
0:14:27 > 0:14:31- I'm not dead yet. - Oh, come on, look at your knee.
0:14:31 > 0:14:35Every dance captain's career has to come to an end at some point.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38All right. Thank you.
0:14:38 > 0:14:39No problem.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43'My career is definitely not over.'
0:14:43 > 0:14:46110% of me will be dancing at internationals.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50- The seating plan.- The seating plan.
0:14:50 > 0:14:54Your mama and I have worked at this for two solid weeks and I believe...
0:14:54 > 0:14:56- we have something good to present to you.- Let's check it out.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59Wait, present? Why do you need to present it to him?
0:14:59 > 0:15:02Oh, well...James has a gift, you see.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05He has this uncanny ability to know
0:15:05 > 0:15:08who should be seated beside him.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11'James is gifted at seating arrangements?'
0:15:11 > 0:15:14Like that's a thing? Really?
0:15:14 > 0:15:16Uncle Maurice, he cannot be to the right of Aunt Betty.
0:15:16 > 0:15:20- He has to be on the left. He'll make fun of her glass eye.- Ah, of course!
0:15:20 > 0:15:23'This plan is a mess. It was put together by amateurs.'
0:15:23 > 0:15:25- This is going to be a- long- day.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27We'll put Wilma next to Ingrid, which is perfect,
0:15:27 > 0:15:31cos Wilma has been studying Italian. Ingrid speaks fluent Italian. Boom!
0:15:31 > 0:15:33They're just going to be speaking it up the whole time.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36At my family weddings, we just do it the old-fashioned way.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38You sit beside each other and you make small talk.
0:15:38 > 0:15:39No-one has to get along.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42- OK, now, the rest of number nine. - HE SIGHS
0:15:42 > 0:15:45- Mm.- Wait, erm, how...how long is this going to take?
0:15:45 > 0:15:46Oh, are you in a rush, honey?
0:15:46 > 0:15:49Yeah. Well, you know what? She's right. This going to take a while.
0:15:49 > 0:15:50You know what would be great?
0:15:50 > 0:15:53- Some sandwiches. - For you, anything.- Oh!
0:15:53 > 0:15:55This is going to be a long day.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00DANCE MUSIC PLAYS
0:16:04 > 0:16:07No, listen, you talk to your own hand.
0:16:07 > 0:16:08VOICE TALKS ON PHONE
0:16:08 > 0:16:11I will not speak to your hand like that. I...
0:16:11 > 0:16:14How dare you! You own a yoga studio. You should...
0:16:14 > 0:16:15PHONE GOES DEAD
0:16:15 > 0:16:18Right. She hung up on me.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21'Right now, Kate, Phoebe and I are trying to figure out'
0:16:21 > 0:16:22where we're going to rehearse
0:16:22 > 0:16:24and what to do about this eviction.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26That was the last yoga studio in this city.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28'I've been on the phone all afternoon,
0:16:28 > 0:16:30'calling these yoga studios.'
0:16:30 > 0:16:32It may not be a dance studio, it doesn't have the mirrors,
0:16:32 > 0:16:35but it's a great open space that we could rehearse in.
0:16:35 > 0:16:36They don't want to rent to us.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38She said, "I don't want The Next Step in here.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40"I don't want your bad vibes in here."
0:16:40 > 0:16:43And I said, "Listen, lady. I will cleanse the space.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45"I will cleanse the aura of the space."
0:16:45 > 0:16:48And she was like, "You are not a good energy healer.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50- "You don't know how to cleanse..." - Phoebe? Phoebe?
0:16:50 > 0:16:53- We were here. We heard it all.- Yeah, but you did not hear the other side.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56Look, it doesn't matter, because every single dance studio
0:16:56 > 0:16:59I have called will not rent to us either.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02It's like Lucien got to them first and warned them not to help us.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05'At this point, I don't think there's anything else we can do.'
0:17:05 > 0:17:06We've run out of options.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08- PHOEBE SIGHS - I hate to say it, guys.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11I don't even want to say his name.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14But I think Lucien has won.
0:17:14 > 0:17:15We only have one option.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19We have to merge.
0:17:19 > 0:17:23'I feel like merging would just be the worst idea.'
0:17:23 > 0:17:26I just don't think it would ever work out.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28'It's unbelievable. We're going to have to meet with Lucien'
0:17:28 > 0:17:31and listen to his terms.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43Right now, I'm at the ballet bar.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45I just find it a really safe place for me to just
0:17:45 > 0:17:47put pressure on my knee and try to strengthen it
0:17:47 > 0:17:49and work through the injury.
0:17:50 > 0:17:51SHE SIGHS
0:17:54 > 0:17:56'When I see Emily in the studio, erm...
0:17:56 > 0:17:59'it's kind of awkward, cos we kind of...'
0:17:59 > 0:18:01kissed at nationals.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03Er, I just kind of don't really know where we stand.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07- Hey.- Hey.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09- How's the knee?- Erm...
0:18:10 > 0:18:12Honestly, a little stiff right now.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15- But it's getting better.- Cool.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17'After my injury, there's been a lot going on'
0:18:17 > 0:18:20and my mind just isn't on him right now.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22Will it be good for internationals?
0:18:22 > 0:18:23I think so.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26I mean, I've been going to physio twice a week and my doctor says
0:18:26 > 0:18:30I'm making good progress, so I really don't see why not.
0:18:30 > 0:18:31- So you can stay?- Yeah.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39Er, why don't I, er...
0:18:39 > 0:18:42- keep you company?- Sure.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44'I realise now, that with all the drama that's happening with her
0:18:44 > 0:18:46'and with the troop,'
0:18:46 > 0:18:49I know that there's really no hope for this relationship.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51But I still really want to be friends,
0:18:51 > 0:18:54so I'm not really sure what to say to him.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56All I know is that Emily needs a friend
0:18:56 > 0:18:59and I'm going to be the best friend that I can be for her.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02We're going to need to work on that turned-out toe.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04Really? OK.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07'I think we both understand what's going on.'
0:19:07 > 0:19:09We're friends and that's it.
0:19:19 > 0:19:20My goodness, I got it. Ricky...
0:19:22 > 0:19:24..moves to table one.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27- Next to Manny. - SHE GASPS
0:19:27 > 0:19:29- Hallelujah!- Yes, that's it!
0:19:29 > 0:19:33- Done!- You have done it, sir!- Done! - All right! Now...
0:19:33 > 0:19:37- for the groom's side. Yeah! - Groom's side, let's do it.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39RILEY MUMBLES
0:19:39 > 0:19:40RILEY SNORES
0:19:40 > 0:19:43The last thing I remember before I fell asleep
0:19:43 > 0:19:46was that Ricky is sitting next to the sea captain.
0:19:46 > 0:19:47It was brilliant.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54..cos of nationals.
0:19:54 > 0:19:55THEY CHATTER
0:19:56 > 0:19:59- So keep me posted?- Yes, I will.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01- THEY FALL SILENT - What's going on?
0:20:01 > 0:20:03LUCIEN APPROACHES
0:20:03 > 0:20:05Erm, you should probably go.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08Kate, it's been a week since I gave you that extension.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10What's your decision?
0:20:13 > 0:20:16- We should go speak in my office. - Fine.
0:20:16 > 0:20:17- Phoebe?- Let's go.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21What's going on?
0:20:21 > 0:20:25'When Lucien is involved, it's never, ever a good thing.'
0:20:25 > 0:20:26So why is he here?
0:20:28 > 0:20:30'It boils my blood.
0:20:30 > 0:20:31'He makes all of us angry,'
0:20:31 > 0:20:33just because we know what kind of person he is.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38I have no idea what's going on in Miss Kate's office,
0:20:38 > 0:20:40but all of us are freaking out.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42It can't be good news for us.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44Are you ready to make a deal?
0:20:48 > 0:20:49Time's up.
0:20:49 > 0:20:53'I can see the aggression in his face'
0:20:53 > 0:20:54and it's not OK.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57We've lost and Lucien has won.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59There's no way around it.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02The Next Step will have to merge with Elite.
0:21:05 > 0:21:11# We, we are gonna show the world
0:21:11 > 0:21:15# Everything we're made of
0:21:15 > 0:21:20# We're gonna tear the roof off this place
0:21:20 > 0:21:26# You, you can never fade us out
0:21:26 > 0:21:29# Don't even ask the DJ
0:21:29 > 0:21:33# Everybody knows we own this land. #
