0:00:02 > 0:00:04Previously on The Next Step...
0:00:04 > 0:00:08Sorry I was late, I just had to stop and get the keys to my new studio!
0:00:08 > 0:00:12Every single dance studio I have called will not rent to us either.
0:00:12 > 0:00:14We have to merge.
0:00:14 > 0:00:18I feel like merging would just be the WORST idea.
0:00:18 > 0:00:20I'm just focusing on dancing at internationals.
0:00:20 > 0:00:22Well, I hope you go.
0:00:22 > 0:00:26But if not, just know that you were such a great dance captain.
0:00:26 > 0:00:27Come on, Amanda, we have an Elite meeting.
0:00:27 > 0:00:29But I'm with The Next Step now.
0:00:29 > 0:00:32I hope you realise that there is going to be consequences.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34I honestly still don't fully trust Amanda.
0:00:34 > 0:00:37We are going to have to meet with Lucien
0:00:37 > 0:00:39and listen to his terms.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41# Well, hey, you, what do you say?
0:00:41 > 0:00:44# I been thinking 'bout you since yesterday... #
0:00:49 > 0:00:52Are you ready to make a deal?
0:00:52 > 0:00:55'Phoebe and Kate are going to be excited to accept my offer.'
0:00:55 > 0:00:59The same way someone is while they are being attacked by a lion!
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Lucien is playing hardball with us.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03He's not going to go out without a fight
0:01:03 > 0:01:07and he basically has us in a really tough situation right now.
0:01:07 > 0:01:11When Lucien is involved, it's never, ever a good thing.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13What exactly are we talking about here?
0:01:13 > 0:01:17A competition. Elite against The Next Step.
0:01:17 > 0:01:1812 dancers from each team,
0:01:18 > 0:01:22we put their names in a hat, we pull out two names and they battle.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24At the end of the competition,
0:01:24 > 0:01:27the 12 remaining dancers go to internationals.
0:01:27 > 0:01:28OK, but what happens
0:01:28 > 0:01:31if a Next Step dancer pulls out another Next Step dancer's name?
0:01:31 > 0:01:33Do they compete against each other?
0:01:33 > 0:01:36Of course! It's a democracy, ladies. It's only fair.
0:01:36 > 0:01:40What if we do have to compete against ourselves?
0:01:40 > 0:01:43- You are evil. - I have evil for lunch.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45You shouldn't be eating that.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48All you have to do is get seven out of 12 Next Step dancers
0:01:48 > 0:01:51on the internationals team and I'm gone forever.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53- Good.- Great.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57But if I get seven Elite dancers on the team, you two are gone for good.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00'I have no idea what's going on in Miss Kate's office,'
0:02:00 > 0:02:02but all of us are freaking out.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05What do you think, Phoebe? Can we do this?
0:02:05 > 0:02:06We don't have a choice.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10I hate to admit it, but I know she's right.
0:02:10 > 0:02:11We have no other option.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13This is the only way we could potentially
0:02:13 > 0:02:16keep The Next Step studio.
0:02:16 > 0:02:17Fine!
0:02:20 > 0:02:23Why is Miss Kate shaking his hand?
0:02:23 > 0:02:25I don't know, but whatever this decision was,
0:02:25 > 0:02:27I don't think Miss Kate had a choice.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29At this point, Miss Kate
0:02:29 > 0:02:30doesn't look very happy,
0:02:30 > 0:02:33but I know that she has our best interest in mind
0:02:33 > 0:02:35and I don't think she would let anything happen to our team.
0:02:35 > 0:02:39If we are going to lose the studio, we are going to go out with a fight.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41# We
0:02:41 > 0:02:45# We're going to show the world
0:02:45 > 0:02:48# Everything we're made of
0:02:48 > 0:02:56# We're going to tear the roof off this place
0:03:01 > 0:03:03# Stand up! #
0:03:28 > 0:03:31Right now, Riley and I are working on a dance for my Aunt Kathy's wedding.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34It's got some pretty sweet choreo and I know...
0:03:34 > 0:03:37everyone's going to go crazy when they see us dance together.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39James thinks that working on the dance will
0:03:39 > 0:03:41be a fun distraction from all the drama
0:03:41 > 0:03:44that's going on with the studio, and I hope he's right.
0:03:45 > 0:03:51# I need you now I'm alone and I'm wasting away without you
0:03:51 > 0:03:56# Yeah, I need you now I'm alone and I'm wasting away without you
0:04:05 > 0:04:08# You're my sun, my stars, my everything
0:04:11 > 0:04:13# You're the reason... #
0:04:13 > 0:04:16I've always loved to dance, and since Riley's been in my life,
0:04:16 > 0:04:19it's always better with her, so I couldn't be happier.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22# Oh-whoa-whoa
0:04:23 > 0:04:25# Oh-whoa-whoa
0:04:26 > 0:04:28# Oh-whoa-whoa. #
0:04:30 > 0:04:32THEY EXHALE
0:04:32 > 0:04:34- Wow! We need to work on that. - Just a little bit.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37HE EXHALES HEAVILY
0:04:37 > 0:04:39What's the matter?
0:04:39 > 0:04:40- I'm just really worried.- Worried?
0:04:40 > 0:04:44'It's easy for James to be cool, he never worries about anything.'
0:04:44 > 0:04:47But I have to be a little more realistic
0:04:47 > 0:04:51and know that we don't have a studio space right now to rehearse.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53So how are we going to get to internationals
0:04:53 > 0:04:56without a studio space?
0:04:56 > 0:04:58We haven't heard anything about the studio.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00I know Riley's upset, but this is The Next Step,
0:05:00 > 0:05:03there is always some sort of disaster.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06Honestly, we just need to focus on the positive.
0:05:06 > 0:05:10We are going to internationals. Do you know what that means?
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Miami! We are going to Miami, baby!
0:05:13 > 0:05:14SHE SCREAMS
0:05:14 > 0:05:16MOBILE PHONE RINGS
0:05:16 > 0:05:18- Miami!- What?
0:05:20 > 0:05:24- You would check your phone right now?- Just breathe.
0:05:24 > 0:05:25- What?- Miss Kate needs us at Studio A.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27Of course she does.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29LAUGHING: Miami, baby!
0:05:31 > 0:05:35This is definitely one of the hardest things I have ever had to do.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38I just really hope they can understand where
0:05:38 > 0:05:41I'm coming from and see that I'm just trying to save the studio.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44So, what did Lucien say?
0:05:44 > 0:05:47Well, he said a lot of things.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Are we allowed to stay here or do we have to hide?
0:05:49 > 0:05:52Because I don't want to get arrested for trespassing.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55The Next Step is allowed to stay in this building.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58- DANCERS: Yes! - Take that, Lucien.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00- That's great.- But...
0:06:00 > 0:06:03the Elite dancers have a shot at making the team.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05'I don't tell them that Lucien could take over The Next Step'
0:06:05 > 0:06:08because they don't need that added extra pressure.
0:06:08 > 0:06:12They need to focus on their dancing and that is all that matters.
0:06:12 > 0:06:16What's going to happen is 12 dancers from The Next Step are going
0:06:16 > 0:06:18to compete head-to-head against 12 dancers from Elite.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20Guys, that's fine.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22Any one of us can take on any one of them.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24That's not exactly how it's going to go.
0:06:24 > 0:06:2624 names will go into a hat.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29Two names will be pulled out and those two dancers
0:06:29 > 0:06:32compete against each other for a spot on the internationals team.
0:06:32 > 0:06:36Wait, so if my name gets pulled and then one of their names
0:06:36 > 0:06:39get pulled, then I have to face someone from my own studio?
0:06:39 > 0:06:41Unfortunately, yes.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44Wow.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46It was the only way I could save the studio,
0:06:46 > 0:06:48you guys have to understand.
0:06:48 > 0:06:52I can't do it. I will not compete against The Next Step.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55Consider me not a part of this team then!
0:06:55 > 0:06:58- Eldon!- Eldon!- Eldon, bro...
0:06:58 > 0:07:01Great. Now Eldon is gone.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04'The fact that Eldon stormed off like that is just giving Lucien
0:07:04 > 0:07:05'the ammunition that he needs.'
0:07:05 > 0:07:09He's already tearing the team apart.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11There's no way
0:07:11 > 0:07:14that everyone in this room is going to make the internationals team.
0:07:19 > 0:07:20Hey, Daniel!
0:07:20 > 0:07:24I had a huge opportunity with this Juilliard audition
0:07:24 > 0:07:30and it went really terribly. I've never danced so poorly in my life.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34- I have no idea what happened. - So, what are your plans?
0:07:34 > 0:07:37I don't have any. I don't even have a studio to dance at.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40I left Superstar Dance to get ready for the Juilliard audition.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43I don't know what I'm going to do now.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46- Your moping ends today, Daniel. - What do you mean?
0:07:46 > 0:07:49There's an opportunity for you.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52An opportunity for you to get on a team going to internationals.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54Well, how?
0:07:54 > 0:07:57You've just got to do exactly what I say.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00I am willing to do whatever it takes to go to internationals.
0:08:00 > 0:08:04And if that means going and following what Lucien says,
0:08:04 > 0:08:06then I'm willing to do it.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08I'll do anything at this point.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25- Hey.- Hey.- How's it going?
0:08:25 > 0:08:26It's kind of rough.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28Whenever I get this upset,
0:08:28 > 0:08:31dancing just helps me clear my head,
0:08:31 > 0:08:34and Thalia is nice enough that she helps me choose a song.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39I'm really disappointed that Eldon left the team.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42You know, we've kind of being getting a lot closer lately
0:08:42 > 0:08:45and I was hoping to get to know him a bit better, but...
0:08:45 > 0:08:47if he's gone, I don't know how that is going to happen.

0:08:51 > 0:08:52MELLOW GUITAR TRACK PLAYS
0:08:52 > 0:08:54- This is definitely not you.- No.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57DRUM AND BASS TRACK PLAYS
0:08:58 > 0:09:01- I think this is it.- Cool.
0:09:07 > 0:09:12# Everyone is talking, I need someone to receive
0:09:12 > 0:09:15# Imitation everything, I don't know what is real... #
0:09:15 > 0:09:19I still haven't changed my mind about leaving The Next Step,
0:09:19 > 0:09:20but I've got to admit...
0:09:20 > 0:09:22it is nice having Thalia around.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24# ..make a sound, unless you open...
0:09:24 > 0:09:26# UP! #
0:09:26 > 0:09:28I can tell there is nothing I can say to Eldon to
0:09:28 > 0:09:31make him come back. But at least he's dancing.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37# Unless you open up. #
0:09:43 > 0:09:44Wow.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47I just don't understand how Miss Kate can let this happen.
0:09:47 > 0:09:48Right?
0:09:48 > 0:09:50We are all hanging out in Hidalgo's
0:09:50 > 0:09:51and I tell the rest of A-Troupe that Eldon
0:09:51 > 0:09:53is not ready to come back.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55All we need to do is keep The Next Step alive
0:09:55 > 0:09:57and we all can go to internationals.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00Guys, Lucien probably didn't leave Kate with a choice.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03I know this is a crucial time and I know we have to stick together
0:10:03 > 0:10:06as a team, but I just find it really hard to trust
0:10:06 > 0:10:08Amanda because of the past.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11So, Amanda, did you know that Lucien was planning this all along?
0:10:11 > 0:10:14I wouldn't be surprised if she did know.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16- What are you accusing her of? - It's... It's fine.
0:10:16 > 0:10:21Um, actually I didn't, but I get it.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23'This is exactly what I was afraid of.'
0:10:23 > 0:10:25Michelle questioning me already?
0:10:25 > 0:10:27I mean, Elite's not even merged with us yet.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30Well, I'm sorry for thinking that, but can you blame me?
0:10:30 > 0:10:33- No, it's OK, we get it. - We can't start fighting now. Let's stick together.
0:10:33 > 0:10:34James is right, and we also need to
0:10:34 > 0:10:36- try and get Eldon back. - Yeah, yeah, I'll talk to him.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39'We cannot win internationals without Eldon.'
0:10:39 > 0:10:41And, honestly, I'm the only one who's
0:10:41 > 0:10:42going to be able to get through to him.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45James can talk anyone into doing anything, so...
0:10:45 > 0:10:49I'm sure if he talks to Eldon, he'll come back to A-Troupe.
0:10:55 > 0:10:59# We-we-we run the dance floor, break it down... #
0:10:59 > 0:11:02Yeah, Richelle and I are just hanging out in the studio.
0:11:02 > 0:11:06We're just messing around, working on some new tricks and stuff.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11Noah and I are the best two dancers on J-Troupe.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13We both push each other. We train together.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15I know we are going to be on A-Troupe soon.
0:11:15 > 0:11:19# Got the DJ screaming, tell me, do you hear? #
0:11:20 > 0:11:25- Noah, can I talk to you for a second? - Yeah.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29OK, I've been thinking, and we may be rushing this a little bit,
0:11:29 > 0:11:31but I think you're ready for it.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33For what?
0:11:33 > 0:11:35I'm going to hold Eldon's spot in A-Troupe in case
0:11:35 > 0:11:37he decides to come back.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40In the meantime, we need to find a 12th dancer,
0:11:40 > 0:11:42and that is where Noah comes in.
0:11:42 > 0:11:43I want you to move up to A-Troupe
0:11:43 > 0:11:47so you can compete against Elite for a spot at internationals.
0:11:47 > 0:11:48Of course! I can do it!
0:11:48 > 0:11:50'I've been ready for a very long time'
0:11:50 > 0:11:53and I'm so pumped to be a part of A-Troupe now.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55I can't believe it. I'm ready.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57- Perfect. Come on, let's go! - Wait, Miss Kate!
0:11:57 > 0:11:59I heard Eldon was leaving the studio too.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02Doesn't that mean another spot opens up on A-Troupe?
0:12:02 > 0:12:03Yes, Richelle, it does.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05But we are dealing with one thing at a time,
0:12:05 > 0:12:07so you don't need to worry about that.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09Richelle is fantastic.
0:12:09 > 0:12:13She is so talented, but she just doesn't have enough experience yet.
0:12:22 > 0:12:23Hey.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25How are you?
0:12:25 > 0:12:26I'm OK. How's your knee?
0:12:26 > 0:12:28Uh...you know what? It's getting better.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30I actually have a doctor's appointment tomorrow
0:12:30 > 0:12:32and I think I'm going to get a clean bill of health.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35After hearing about the competition, I am a little nervous.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39My knee is not completely healed, so...I'm honestly not sure,
0:12:39 > 0:12:42but I will not let anyone know that.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44So you think you're going to be ready?
0:12:44 > 0:12:47For internationals? Yes, for sure!
0:12:47 > 0:12:51I know Emily is going through a really hard time right now.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54Well, because it hurts not being able to dance.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57She's going to get through and I'm confident that she is.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00She just needs someone there for her.
0:13:08 > 0:13:14# Did you have to leave so early without warning?
0:13:14 > 0:13:21# I gave everything and more just to save it... #
0:13:21 > 0:13:23Right now, I'm dancing a solo,
0:13:23 > 0:13:25because I don't feel like I'll ever belong anywhere.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28Especially if Elite comes into The Next Step.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34After I stepped up for The Next Step at nationals,
0:13:34 > 0:13:37I thought that the drama would be left behind.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40I thought that they would trust me.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43But some way, somehow, the drama keeps following me,
0:13:43 > 0:13:45and it doesn't seem to be going away.
0:13:45 > 0:13:51# Never thought I'd see this day, but I'll face it
0:13:51 > 0:13:54# I'll move on
0:13:54 > 0:13:57# Without your love... #
0:13:57 > 0:14:00'Shantel and Tess have always kind of been my friends.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03'They were my assistant captains at Elite.'
0:14:03 > 0:14:05But I just think because they're still there
0:14:05 > 0:14:06and I'm at The Next Step now...
0:14:06 > 0:14:07it's different.
0:14:07 > 0:14:12# Seems like we only started yesterday
0:14:14 > 0:14:19# You closed the door and left me here, alone in the dark
0:14:19 > 0:14:23# With something else in place of my heart
0:14:23 > 0:14:26# Falling apart
0:14:28 > 0:14:31# Falling apart. #
0:14:35 > 0:14:36Wow, look at you, Amanda.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39Learned some new tricks since you were at Elite?
0:14:39 > 0:14:42Well, I have, but most importantly, I've learned not to scheme.
0:14:42 > 0:14:43And that is why Lucien sent us here.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45We want to see if you want to come back to Elite.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47I don't know about that.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49'I don't think Lucien will ever be done scheming.'
0:14:49 > 0:14:51I think that is what he does for fun.
0:14:51 > 0:14:55What happened at nationals, Amanda, it's water under the bridge.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58It doesn't matter, and I really want to go to internationals this year.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00We all do. Just look at what Lucien did for us
0:15:00 > 0:15:03last year at nationals. If his plan works out this year,
0:15:03 > 0:15:06- we are all going to internationals. - And we want you with us.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09I'm still kind of wary about Amanda,
0:15:09 > 0:15:11so I kind of followed her to the music room
0:15:11 > 0:15:13and I've been secretly watching her.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15I've changed.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18I'm not the same person that I used to be.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20I don't belong at Elite.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22If I'm ever going to really be a part of The Next Step...
0:15:22 > 0:15:25- Come on, Amanda.- '..I need to make a clean break with my past.'
0:15:25 > 0:15:26Guys, that's really nice.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29But I'm not coming back and you know that.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32So I hope we can still be friends, but no.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35Maybe people can change after all. I believe I trust Amanda now.
0:15:47 > 0:15:51Right now, I'm packing up my things and I'm not competing,
0:15:51 > 0:15:55because this pretty much violates everything I stand for.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58And I'm not going to kick one of my friends off the team.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00It's not going to happen.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02When I see Eldon packing up his stuff,
0:16:02 > 0:16:05I know that this may be my only chance to convince him
0:16:05 > 0:16:07to come back before it's too late.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09Yo, what are you thinking?
0:16:09 > 0:16:12You are the best dancer at the studio and everybody knows it.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14You need to represent.
0:16:14 > 0:16:18I am going to dance as hard as I can, no matter who I dance against.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20Yo! Are you actually walking away from me right now?
0:16:20 > 0:16:22You need to grow up!
0:16:25 > 0:16:27I can't.
0:16:32 > 0:16:33I hate to say it...
0:16:35 > 0:16:38..but it really looks like we lost Eldon for good.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46All right, tell me again, what went wrong?
0:16:46 > 0:16:49Amanda didn't want to hear anything we had to say, she just left.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51- You let her go? - She said we were too schemey.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54Schemey? That's not a word!
0:16:54 > 0:16:57- I meant sche-ming. - Scheming, yeah, that's a word.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59And I don't scheme - I do.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01We're just going to have to get rid of Amanda somehow...
0:17:01 > 0:17:05- Ahem.- Amanda! Hi! See? She's had a change of heart.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07I entered the music room to confront Lucien.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10He needs to know that what he's doing has to stop.
0:17:10 > 0:17:11'I'm ready to face Elite head-on.'
0:17:11 > 0:17:14But you came to your senses, and that is terrific.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16This is going to be great.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19- Can I talk to you for a second? - Sure, sure.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22I am not part of Elite and Lucien needs to know that.
0:17:23 > 0:17:28- You need to stop this. - Stop this? You can't stop this!
0:17:28 > 0:17:30You... Stop what?
0:17:30 > 0:17:32Trying to bring down The Next Step.
0:17:32 > 0:17:36Amanda, I can't stop that. That is what I do for fun.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39That is what I enjoy, through all this stress, is bringing them down.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42Besides, I deserve to be at internationals,
0:17:42 > 0:17:44you deserve to be at internationals and so do they.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47And you're going to help us do this. We are going to do this together.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49You're right. I do deserve to go to internationals.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51Yes! Good girl.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53With The Next Step.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55- Bad girl.- Sorry.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00I think it's time to deploy
0:18:00 > 0:18:04Project Daniel Is Going To Mess With The Next Step.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15Right now, all of A-Troupe is just
0:18:15 > 0:18:17getting ready for rehearsals in Studio A.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20But we are all really distracted because of this competition
0:18:20 > 0:18:21we have to do against Elite.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23We haven't even started the competition yet
0:18:23 > 0:18:27and we've already lost one of our best dancers from The Next Step.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29I still can't believe you couldn't convince Eldon.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31I mean, he usually always listens to you.
0:18:31 > 0:18:35I know. I've never seen him that upset about something before.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39Look, there's Daniel.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42As Daniel walks in we are all just a little bit confused
0:18:42 > 0:18:44as to why he is here.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46Oh, my God! Daniel?
0:18:48 > 0:18:50What are you doing here?
0:18:50 > 0:18:52I'm here to compete.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54Maybe Juilliard wasn't what I was supposed to do,
0:18:54 > 0:18:57and maybe with this shot that Lucien is giving me,
0:18:57 > 0:19:00this going to internationals is what I've been waiting for.
0:19:00 > 0:19:04So I'm positive that this is my time.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06I blew it with Juilliard.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09This is really all I've got, and I hope you can understand.
0:19:11 > 0:19:12I get it.
0:19:12 > 0:19:16I understand Daniel's situation with the Juilliard audition
0:19:16 > 0:19:18and him not getting it.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21But now he's on our enemy's team.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23What's going on?
0:19:23 > 0:19:26That's right, everyone. I'm now a full-fledged member of Elite.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28No way.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30I never thought that he would go to Elite.
0:19:30 > 0:19:34This is not the Daniel I used to know.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37This is not the person I used to call my best friend.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39- You're a traitor, Daniel! - That's not right.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42- How could you do that? - How could you do this to us?
0:19:42 > 0:19:45How can you be laughing right now?
0:19:45 > 0:19:47I just figured out how to get Eldon back.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49Riley wants to know why I'm laughing.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52But I'm not going to tell her. It'll spoil the surprise.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54She'll find out soon enough.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00MOBILE PHONE CHIMES
0:20:05 > 0:20:07Urrrgh!
0:20:10 > 0:20:13HE CRACKS NECK
0:20:17 > 0:20:18HE ROARS
0:20:18 > 0:20:22- So, what are we supposed to be waiting for?- Shh.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24Five, four,
0:20:24 > 0:20:28three, two, one.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36Let the competition begin. You are going down, Daniel.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42I'm confident that I can beat anyone at The Next Step.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45I know in the past Eldon has bettered me,
0:20:45 > 0:20:50but he doesn't know that I'm a fighter now and I'm going to win.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52'I really hope that I get Daniel's name so I can
0:20:52 > 0:20:54'bring him down once again.'
0:20:54 > 0:20:57This is going to be a good competition.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00Now that Eldon is back, I'm ready. Let's do this.
