I Only Have Eyes For You The Next Step

Previously, on The Next Step...

You have been invited to compete

at our hip-hop dance extravaganza!

We are going to England!

Look out, England. Here we come!

Hey, I got you something.

His name is LaTroy.

I'm kind of surprised that Amy got LaTroy a gift.

Does she like him or something?

Do you have any ideas?

I'm sure I'll think of something.

My head is saying, "This isn't a big deal,"

but my heart is saying something else.

CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYS

Ever since I started helping LaTroy with his contemporary,

he's become one of my favourite dance partners.

We definitely have a strong connection,

and both our styles fuse together.

It creates something totally new.

HIP-HOP BEAT JOIN IN

Amy's approach to dance is so different than mine.

She's more technical,

more...refined.

LaTroy's dancing is really authentic, really raw.

It's not like anyone I've ever danced with.

But what's different about us...doesn't matter.

We're both powerhouses.

That's why this works.

HIP-HOP BEAT DROPS OUT

LaTroy and I have this amazing chemistry.

All I can think is how much closer we've gotten,

and how much I really like him!

Let's do something about this.

About what?

This chemistry.

I can't deny there's chemistry between me and Amy.

She's confident, she's fun.

The girl's just all around awesome.

Wow, you just went for it, huh?

It's the way I roll.

I like LaTroy, and I'm pretty sure he likes me.

Why not go on a date?

So....

maybe I'll take you out for a movie or something?

We can meet at the Java Junction first?

Yes! I'd love that.

-All right, sweet.

-Bye.

-All right.

I'm actually going on a date with LaTroy.

I have to tell Cassie!

I have to tell everyone!

# We

# We are going to show the world

# Everything we're made of

# We're going to tear the roof off this place... #

Stand up!

EDM PLAYS

I have to make a documentary about my family for a school project.

But since my family's all over the world right now,

I decided to do the movie on my dance family instead.

So, I'm just waiting to interview Michelle.

-Ah, here she is! Hey!

-Hey.

So, what's this about, again?

-I told you, it's a school project.

-OK.

I want this film to be unscripted.

I want it to be real.

I want to get to the truth of who these people are.

You've been on A-Troupe for a long time now.

Yes, I have.

I'm a lifer.

-You must enjoy it?

-Yes,

I have enjoyed every single moment of being on A-Troupe, no complaints.

I don't want to admit this to Piper,

but being on A-Troupe can be really frustrating.

I feel like I'm constantly having to prove myself.

But when you started here,

you were one of the most celebrated -

and then, last year, you were an alternate.

Isn't that hard?

It just means that, this year, I'm going to have to work extra hard.

I want to be at the top of my game,

and I want to be better than I ever was before.

Michelle needs to know where she stands on A-Troupe.

That's the only way I'll get to the truth.

Well, your work ethic is inspiring!

All the new girls here, myself included, really look up to you.

-Really?

-Yeah!

Me? 'I'm blown away.'

It kind of gives me an extra boost of confidence

that I didn't know I needed.

You never give up, especially when it gets hard.

And you don't mind teaching hard lessons.

-Thank you.

-Thank you.

I want everyone to see my dance family

the same way I do.

I can't wait for my next interview!

-Super excited to have a day off, man.

-Yeah, man!

Eldon and I are just hanging out for the day

cos James is off buying souvenirs for all of his sisters.

I've been researching the United Kingdom on the internet, and,

you know, this is going to be a great day off.

Oh, my gosh!

This is Stonehenge, bro!

No, it's not.

Yes, it is! It totally is!

Look at this!

'I see stones and, immediately, I know...'

..this is Stonehenge.

Dude, Stonehenge is not even in London.

What are you talking about?

I know Stonehenge when I see Stonehenge.

I can feel it. It's vibing with me.

It's magical, man. I can feel the energy everywhere.

This is Stonehenge!

'If you close your eyes,'

you can almost just see the druids erecting these stones.

Wow.

So much history!

This is not Stonehenge,

these are just stones.

No henge.

Watch, I'll prove it to you!

-Excuse me, sir.

-Hey.

-Is this not Stonehenge?

Yeah, Stonehenge, right(!)

Yeah. See, I told you.

Bingo. I knew it.

That's called sarcasm.

-It's not...

-Just come over here, take a picture.

OK, if I take a photo, can we leave?

HE GROANS

"Stonehenge."

All right, let's go!

You missed my kick, bro.

-That was, like, the best part.

-"Stonehenge."

And this is Amanda.

Hey!

I think I'm ready to flex my interview muscles a bit more

with my next family member.

Noah and Amanda aren't your typical couple.

People will want to know why they're together.

How did you feel when Noah told everyone you guys were an item?

Well, I was a little bit surprised,

but I'm just glad everyone knows now!

Honestly, I could not believe it

when Noah just blurted out that we liked each other...

..but he was nervous about his back,

so I understand why he did it.

What made you fall for Noah?

Uh...

He's tall enough,

we have dance in common,

just the usual stuff.

I'm trying to understand why Amanda likes Noah.

I always pictured Amanda with someone more like Alfie.

What's Noah's best quality?

You know, um...

He's a guy.

'I'm not going to tell Piper why I fell for Noah,'

because it's hard to put into words and it's private.

We work together and that's all that matters.

Maybe one day I'll ask you for dating advice!

You make it sound pretty easy.

Just follow your heart, Piper.

-Thank you.

-No problem.

I guess love doesn't always have to make sense.

If you meet the right person, maybe you just know.

Step, knee in.

Kick, step, step.

Yeah, make sure when you kick, you touch your foot.

'LaTroy and I really found our groove on A-Troupe.'

I didn't think our friendship could get any stronger, but it has.

Voom, ha! Pah, pah, pah.

Yeah!

'Working with Sloane is always cool.'

We know each other so well.

It's like putting on an old pair of kicks.

So, let me just go change quick and I'll meet you at the Junction?

Oh, yeah, I forgot to tell you.

I'm going to have to take a rain check on our usual thing.

Oh, how come?

I got a date.

-With who?

-Amy.

'Amy?!'

LaTroy likes Amy?

Since when?

She's actually a pretty cool girl.

She's so cute, powerful,

and her dancing... Pfft!

Forget about it!

Yeah. Amy is a good dancer.

"Good" doesn't even cover it.

Like, she's helped taking my dancing to a whole...

Like, a whole, whole new...

OK, OK, I get it!

You like her.

What's your deal?

Nothing, I just don't need to know

every single detail about your personal life, that's it.

-What? Since when?

-I don't know, OK?

Since now.

'I don't know why it bothers me so much.'

LaTroy's my friend, Amy's my friend,

I should be happy...

right?

R'N'B MUSIC PLAYS

'What happened with Sloane is really bothering me.

'She never acted like that before.'

I think I just need somebody to talk to.

Hey.

Hi!

Cha-cha-cha!

'Normally, I'm all about dancing with Henry'

but, right now, there's just too much on my mind.

What's up with you?

You're doing all the statue stuff again.

Why are you so mopey?

Nah, man. I've just got something on my mind.

You got a minute?

Is it about your date with Amy?

-You know about that?

-The whole studio knows!

Your girlfriend's nickname is Miss Megaphone.

No, that's not the problem.

I'm excited to go on my date with Amy.

It's just...

this really weird conversation I had with Sloane.

Like, we were hanging out, then she just freaked on me for no reason.

It's never for no reason.

What did you say before she freaked on you?

I had to take a rain check on her,

and...

I told her about my date with Amy.

Wait, you told her about the date with Amy?

Bingo! I know exactly what the problem is.

Sloane likes you.

HE SCOFFS

Henry has no idea what he's talking about.

No! That's not it.

Sloane's my best friend.

She WAS your best friend,

but it's more than that now.

Henry can't be right.

But I should check it with Sloane anyway, cos...

something's definitely going on.

This is Alfie.

That's me!

I'm an open book, and...

Ask away.

Alfie always seems so calm, cool and collected.

But I want to get past that comfortable exterior,

down to the real Alfie.

Why did you leave your troupe in Europe to come to The Next Step?

I guess because The Next Step is the best troupe in the world.

After internationals, I couldn't stop thinking about The Next Step.

I knew this is where I had to be.

Well, now, you're so far from home.

Isn't that lonely?

Yes, it definitely gets lonely sometimes,

but then I remember that the world is fairly small.

So far, I've just been following my heart and...

..this is where my heart has led me.

Do you think you'll find love here?

Is there anyone that interests you?

Um...

No.

'I do like someone at the studio, but I can't act on it.'

I don't want to cause any trouble.

Are we done? Are we good?

Sure.

Cool!

Poor Alfie. He's putting on a brave face,

but it sounds like he could really use some friends here.

Hey, you know what? Even though it's our day off,

we've still got to stay physical.

-Yeah, man.

-Yeah.

We're here...

for the Bangers and Mash Ups international

hip-hop competition.

So, although we're having a lot of fun, we have to stay sharp.

We've got to stay on top of ourselves, physically and mentally.

Exactly. So...

..you know what we've got to do, right?

I know what we've got to do.

Hey! Hey.

'The rain can't dampen our fire moves.'

We are hot!

Hey!

Hey. Hey.

Hey!

Oh, snap. Thank you.

I can't believe we're getting paid to dance on the streets of London!

Oh, I love this country!

-Oh, this place is amazing!

-Oh, thank you. Hey!

Stop, lads! Stop!

What are you doing?

-What are you doing?

-We're just dancing, I...

That's not dancing.

Busking? Money?

You want to busk?

There.

Not here.

It was Eldon's idea.

-It was West's idea.

-Hold on, sorry.

Who are you?

I'm an officer.

Anti-busking brigade.

A busking-busting bobby?

You...

are illegally busking.

I'll have that money, please?

We earned that money fair and square.

I'm going to take you in.

There's only one thing to do.

-Give me the money!

-Dip!

Give me the money!

I hope we never see that guy again.

So, why are you video taping me again?

Well, I was supposed to do a video about my family,

but then I decided to do my dance family.

You're kind of both.

You're not just the studio head,

you're basically my sister, too.

Aww! Well, I'm happy to be your big sister!

I already have big sisters, but you're my favourite.

You're my favourite sister, too.

-Don't tell Emily. Is that recording?

-No!

'Riley's actually the reason that I decided to do the documentary.'

I look up to Riley so much,

I want everyone to see how strong she really is.

So, Riley...

what's it like being studio head?

It's great!

It feels so natural.

Being studio head is so nerve-racking.

There's so many decisions to make

and I just hope I'm doing things right.

What about James?

He's been gone for a long time.

Yes.

But, you know, he'll always be in my heart.

Whatever, lovebirds!

But you're telling me you never miss him?

You never feel lonely?

Ah...

Well, I mean I do feel lonely sometimes,

especially being studio head and not having him here.

Trying to do this without James here is just so much harder.

Seriously, I miss him every single day.

That's funny.

You're the second person today who's said that they get lonely sometimes.

Who else said that?

Alfie.

'Alfie's lonely, too?'

Oh, no.

You guys should hang out!

Yeah, that sounds great.

This interview's over.

Um, I actually have a lot of work to do, so I'm going to...

'My feelings for Alfie are complicated so, right now,'

hanging out with Alfie is definitely not a good idea.

I wanted to tell Sloane that Henry has finally lost it,

cos there's no way she likes me.

-Hey.

-Hey.

So, I just heard the most craziest thing from Henry just now.

He thinks that....

..you like me.

Like-like me.

How crazy is that?

It's not that crazy.

I do like you.

'I don't really know when I started liking LaTroy, but...'

it feels like I've been liking him for a really long time

and I just didn't know it.

Like-like me?

I know.

I'm as surprised as you are...

but...

here we are.

Thoughts?

'When LaTroy says nothing,'

I immediately regret telling him how I feel.

I guess I know what that means.

'I can't believe Sloane ACTUALLY likes me.'

This isn't good.

Yo, man. Cheers to a good day.

-Yeah, man!

-Yes.

-Cheers!

Eldon and I had a pretty good day off,

so we decided to treat ourselves to some authentic English tea.

Wow, definitely the best tea I've ever had.

Yes, London's got some top notch tea.

Yo, like...

-BOTH: Levels!

-Yup.

'How lucky am I that I get to hang out with my best friend in London?'

Perfect ending to a perfect day.

Yo, today was so much fun.

-Yeah, it was.

-Yeah.

-That, like, dance battle thing we did.

-Yeah, the busking.

-That was a lot of fun.

-Yeah, that was awesome.

When me and West get together, we get up to some shenanigans.

And then there was the busking-busting bobby!

Yeah, that was...

It's a lot of Bs there, buddy.

That's a lot of Bs there.

OK, you know what? Forget it.

I totally wish that James was here.

Yeah, man. I really miss him.

-Yeah.

-You know what, you should text him, see what he's up to.

-Yeah.

Yo, we should mess with him.

We should totally mess with him!

Yeah. I mean, what kind of cafe doesn't allow phones?

-Right?

-A-ha!

THEY SCREAM

Oh, snap!

That's the busking-busting bobby!

How did he find us?

You two, second violation.

Have you seen this?

-How did...?

-But, weren't you...?

What's that? This is the second time.

-How did...?

-Out, out, out!

Only one thing to do now.

Dip!

Out.

I am so excited to be the first person to watch your documentary!

Ah, you were obviously the first choice.

I've assembled my rough cut

and I've decided to hold a little test screening

to get some feedback.

I really trust your opinion.

Plus I needed to borrow your laptop.

-Right.

-Hey!

I thought I was the first person

that gets to see your documentary.

'I didn't know Alfie was going to be here.'

Now what do I do?

I was watching the footage,

and I noticed how lonely you guys looked,

so I decided to invite you both!

Come on, let's get cosy!

'Watching a movie with Riley.'

Perfect(!)

Tell me what you think!

'Watching a movie with Alfie!'

Perfect(!)

SHE GIGGLES

-What?

-Nothing, I just think...

I just think it's hilarious how she thinks that we're both lonely.

Right? I mean, it's crazy.

Yeah, it's the craziest thing I've ever heard.

Yeah.

'I can handle this. This is just a movie night with friends.'

I think it's great.

It'll be great!

I got some snacks!

Skooch over.

How are you guys liking it so far?

It's great.

Oh, look at you guys!

You are the best friends!

'Alfie and I feel like more than just friends.'

I'm totally confused right now.

# Love

# Wild, wild love

# Wild, wild love. #

LaTroy's being really quiet.

I hope he's not having second thoughts about our date.

Are you OK?

Sorry that I'm a little bit distracted right now.

'My date with Amy is going pretty bad.'

I can't stop thinking about what happened with Sloane.

Things got intense between Sloane and I.

Do you want to talk about it?

Sloane told me she has feelings for me.

Do you have feelings for her?

No, she's my best friend.

I don't even think about her in that way.

I like you.

Well, I like you, too.

And if...

you don't like Sloane that way,

and you like me that way,

you should date me.

Yeah, you're right.

I thought the idea

of LaTroy dating Amy was bad,

but seeing them together

is a million times worse.

So, now we can start having some fun.

For sure, yeah!

'I feel like I just lost two friends.'
