0:00:09 > 0:00:12The winner is... The Next Step!
0:00:13 > 0:00:15VOICEOVER: Eldon did it! When James comes back to London,
0:00:15 > 0:00:19he's going to be dancing in the Bangers and Mashups finals.
0:00:19 > 0:00:20- I can't even talk to you right now. - Please.
0:00:20 > 0:00:22- I need to think, all right?- James!
0:00:22 > 0:00:25VOICEOVER: I need to focus on Bangers and Mashups and forget about
0:00:25 > 0:00:26Riley, but it's not that easy.
0:00:27 > 0:00:30VOICEOVER: Alfie and I don't seem to click like we used to,
0:00:30 > 0:00:32and I just don't know what to do now.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47I need you to do something for me.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49- Hmm?- What's wrong?
0:00:52 > 0:00:54THEY LAUGH
0:00:54 > 0:00:58This is exactly what I'm talking about. We need more of this.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00- Orange slices?- Fun!
0:01:02 > 0:01:07I want to see what you and I are like away from this place.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10It would be a great way to clear your head before the competition.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13VOICEOVER: Everything at the studio has been such a whirlwind.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16Maybe getting away is a good idea.
0:01:16 > 0:01:17What did you have in mind?
0:01:19 > 0:01:21Meet me at the airport, bring your passport,
0:01:21 > 0:01:23and pack for a couple days.
0:01:23 > 0:01:24It's a surprise.
0:01:26 > 0:01:32VOICEOVER: Going away with Alfie is a big step. Huge.
0:01:32 > 0:01:36But maybe I need to just take a leap of faith and follow my heart.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39# We
0:01:39 > 0:01:41# We are gonna show the world
0:01:43 > 0:01:47# Everything we're made of
0:01:47 > 0:01:55# We're gonna tear the roof off this place
0:02:00 > 0:02:01# Stand up! #

0:02:47 > 0:02:49You two are, like, my best friends.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52VOICEOVER: I'm trying my hardest to forget about Riley today, because I
0:02:52 > 0:02:55owe it to the boys to focus on the competition.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57We've been dancing together since we were little kids,
0:02:57 > 0:02:58and all around the world.
0:02:58 > 0:03:02I can't think of anyone else I'd rather have by my side right now.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04Man, man, we've been on so many adventures,
0:03:04 > 0:03:06I really think this one's the best one, though.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09VOICEOVER: We all have to be ready to dance today.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11But, honestly, I'm a bit worried about James.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15I think it's time to introduce our two teams, so please welcome,
0:03:15 > 0:03:17all the way from sunny Espana,

0:03:39 > 0:03:41CROWD CHEERS
0:03:41 > 0:03:44VOICEOVER: Walking up this ramp, I realise, by tonight, we'll either be
0:03:44 > 0:03:48the hip-hop champions of the world, or we'll go home empty-handed.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50Time to find out.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02- Hey!- Hey.- What are you up to?
0:04:04 > 0:04:08Well, Alfie and I are going on a trip somewhere.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11That's great, if that's what you want.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14Alfie sure is pulling out all the stops!
0:04:15 > 0:04:19- Well, Amanda and I will take care of everything at the studio.- Thanks.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23VOICEOVER: I'm done thinking about what I want.
0:04:23 > 0:04:24I'm going to let my heart decide.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32VOICEOVER: Everybody better be on their best behaviour,
0:04:32 > 0:04:34because we're streaming live for the whole world to see!
0:04:34 > 0:04:37CHEERING
0:04:37 > 0:04:42Two teams enter. One team leaves. Let the battle begin!
0:04:42 > 0:04:44CHEERING
0:04:44 > 0:04:46VOICEOVER: We're about to compete against the best...
0:04:46 > 0:04:48..hip-hop team in the world.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50There is absolutely zero room for error today.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54This is no ordinary dance-off, because it's not over until
0:04:54 > 0:04:58three dancers from one team have all been eliminated.
0:04:58 > 0:04:59Are you guys ready?
0:04:59 > 0:05:00CROWD CHEERS
0:05:00 > 0:05:03VOICEOVER: I have to dance-battle this first dancer. If I win...
0:05:03 > 0:05:06..I get to dance-battle the next guy on the opposing team.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09As long as you keep winning dance battles, you keep going,
0:05:09 > 0:05:12until all three dancers on the other team are out.
0:05:12 > 0:05:16If I lose, I'm out, and West will have to step up and continue.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19Round one is moves and grooves!
0:05:19 > 0:05:21Let's do this, make some space!
0:05:21 > 0:05:23VOICEOVER: Each round is a different dance style.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25This round is moves and grooves...
0:05:25 > 0:05:29So I can't do any tricking, gymnastics, or acro'.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31It's gotta be pure hip-hop.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46VOICEOVER: I'm here to support Eldon and the boys.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49I know they can win this thing.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51- You're going to kill this. You got this.- All right.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03VOICEOVER: Eldon is going all out right now.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06He is leaving it all on the floor.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18VOICEOVER: Eldon did great, but...
0:06:18 > 0:06:20..it's all up to the judges now.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23The winner of the first round is...
0:06:24 > 0:06:29Avril, from the Fuego Fuego Hip-Hop Academy!
0:06:29 > 0:06:34Next Step, that means your first dancer has been eliminated.
0:06:34 > 0:06:38- Sorry, guys. Tried my best.- It's all good, man. We've still got this.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40VOICEOVER: I'm really worried.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43West and I are going to have to find a way to beat three dancers.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45Round two, bouncing!
0:06:57 > 0:07:00VOICEOVER: Bouncing is street style of dance that is very, well, bouncy.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17VOICEOVER: West?
0:07:17 > 0:07:19He is crushing it out there.
0:07:22 > 0:07:26VOICEOVER: I'm killing it, and, honestly, I have to.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28I don't think James has it in him today.
0:07:35 > 0:07:39I think it's clear that the winner of that round was West from
0:07:39 > 0:07:40the Next Step!
0:07:40 > 0:07:42Yeah!
0:07:42 > 0:07:47So each team has now lost a dancer, which leaves only two remaining.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50And the hip-hop dance style in round three will be waving.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52CROWD CHEERS
0:08:04 > 0:08:08VOICEOVER: Waving is when you make your body move like water, and
0:08:08 > 0:08:10this guy's got moves.
0:08:10 > 0:08:11I hate to admit it,
0:08:11 > 0:08:12but I'm impressed.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23VOICEOVER: This is the second round for West.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25He should be tired, but,
0:08:25 > 0:08:27somehow, he has more energy.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35VOICEOVER: Did you see that? West just pulled the coolest...
0:08:35 > 0:08:37..move I've ever seen.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42Over, girls, over!
0:08:42 > 0:08:43Woo!
0:08:47 > 0:08:49VOICEOVER: West was not just in that guy's face,
0:08:49 > 0:08:50he was all over that guy.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53But the judges don't look too happy.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56Masked Man, what is the verdict? Seems obvious!
0:08:56 > 0:08:58Unfortunately, it is not.
0:08:58 > 0:09:02We have a disqualification due to illegal touching.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05Fuego Fuego wins that round!
0:09:05 > 0:09:07What?!
0:09:07 > 0:09:10VOICEOVER: I can't believe Wes is disqualified for illegal touching.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12Now he's out,
0:09:12 > 0:09:14and it's all up to me.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26Traffic.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28Traffic, she's stuck in traffic.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30VOICEOVER: I've been waiting here for over an hour,
0:09:30 > 0:09:32and Riley's still not here.
0:09:32 > 0:09:33I'm totally confused right now.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43The next dance style will be breaking.
0:09:43 > 0:09:44CHEERING
0:09:48 > 0:09:50VOICEOVER: Breaking is power moves mixed with
0:09:50 > 0:09:52top rock, down rock and freezes.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56Eldon and I have already been eliminated.
0:09:56 > 0:10:00Now it's up to James to take out the next two dancers...
0:10:00 > 0:10:02..and bring home the victory.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10VOICEOVER: I can't even think about the second dancer right now. I have
0:10:10 > 0:10:12to focus on the dancer in front of me, and...
0:10:12 > 0:10:14..win this battle first.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28VOICEOVER: I'm proud of James.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31Even though he's heartbroken, he's really bringing it hard.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34That's what dance battles are all about.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36OK, well, the pressure was on there.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38Masked Man, what say the powers that be?
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Have Fuego Fuego ended it all,
0:10:40 > 0:10:43or are The Next Step going to live to dance another day?
0:10:43 > 0:10:46The winner of that round is...
0:10:46 > 0:10:48De Wai J from The Next Step!
0:10:48 > 0:10:50CHEERING
0:10:50 > 0:10:52VOICEOVER: James absolutely destroyed that battle.
0:10:52 > 0:10:53He cleaned up a mess that...
0:10:53 > 0:10:55..I couldn't.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57At this stage of the competition,
0:10:57 > 0:11:01each dancer is allowed to choose his own dance style.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03No rules whatsoever!
0:11:03 > 0:11:05CHEERING
0:11:07 > 0:11:10But, there will be a twist.
0:11:10 > 0:11:15The two remaining dancers will battle over and over again, until
0:11:15 > 0:11:19one dancer has won three battles, declaring them the champion.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22CHEERING
0:11:22 > 0:11:25VOICEOVER: I've never been more nervous for a dance in my life.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29This is going to take everything I have,
0:11:29 > 0:11:30and even that might not be enough.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50VOICEOVER: Winning one battle is hard. Two? That's insane.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52Winning best out of five?
0:11:53 > 0:11:54Honestly, I'm nervous.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06VOICEOVER: I have to dance for my life, but...
0:12:06 > 0:12:08..I don't know if my heart is in this.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37OK, off to a fighting start. Masked Man, what's the verdict?
0:12:37 > 0:12:40The winner of round one is...
0:12:40 > 0:12:41Santana!
0:12:41 > 0:12:42CHEERING
0:12:44 > 0:12:46VOICEOVER: The first one to three points wins.
0:12:46 > 0:12:47James is down one to zero now,
0:12:47 > 0:12:50so he needs to make this next battle count.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06VOICEOVER: This guy's killing it.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09Fuego Fuego definitely saved the best for last.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22VOICEOVER: Normally, when I have to dance for my life, I reach down
0:13:22 > 0:13:25deep, and I try and find something to propel me to greatness.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28I'm trying right now and I don't think there's anything there.
0:13:32 > 0:13:33I'm worried about James.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36VOICEOVER: Something is missing. It's like he's giving up.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50Wow. These dancers are really, really, bringing it now.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53Masked Man, who is the winner of that round?
0:13:53 > 0:13:56The winner, once again, is...
0:13:56 > 0:13:57Santana!
0:13:57 > 0:13:59CHEERING

0:14:04 > 0:14:08and you might as well get those brooms out, cos I smell a sweep!
0:14:08 > 0:14:10CROWD GASPS
0:14:10 > 0:14:12VOICEOVER: This is bad news.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15If James loses one more round, then we're out.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17VOICEOVER: He's gotta win three straight.
0:14:17 > 0:14:18I don't know how we're going to win.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29What time is it?
0:14:29 > 0:14:32Exactly 11 minutes after the last time you asked me, Your Highness.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34You're just wonderfully truthful, aren't you?
0:14:41 > 0:14:43- Five more minutes? - Of course, Your Highness.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47VOICEOVER: Come on, Riley.
0:14:47 > 0:14:48What's taking so long?
0:14:50 > 0:14:52- Yo, I bailed on that flip.- It's all good, you played it off.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54- No, I bailed on it, you saw it.- You played it off.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56- Stop, you both saw it.- It was smooth, you played it off.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59VOICEOVER: I'm trying to keep it together, but...
0:14:59 > 0:15:00..I have nothing left.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02I have nothing left to fight for.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06You just really gotta win these next couple rounds, or we're out,
0:15:06 > 0:15:07OK? We didn't come here to lose.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09- I'm tired, yo.- Well, you gotta pull it together.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12- Yeah, man, let's just do it.- No, no, no, no! Not whatever, you...
0:15:12 > 0:15:17VOICEOVER: I was at the airport, and I knew I had to follow my heart,
0:15:17 > 0:15:19and my heart led me here.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22Hey, look who's here.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39- What are you doing here?- I love you. It's always been you, I'll always
0:15:39 > 0:15:41love you, and I'm so sorry for what I did, but you're going to
0:15:41 > 0:15:43have to find a way to forgive me.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47VOICEOVER: James has my heart...
0:15:47 > 0:15:49..and he always will.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51- Now, go get 'em.- All right.

0:15:59 > 0:16:01She's here...
0:16:01 > 0:16:03..and now I know I can win this thing.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10VOICEOVER: I'd wait here forever if I knew Riley would come,
0:16:10 > 0:16:12but in my heart, I know it's over.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14How could she do this to me?
0:16:16 > 0:16:19I'm really sorry, Your Highness. The jet is waiting.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30VOICEOVER: This is the worst day of my life.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37I guess not all princes get to live happily ever after.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49VOICEOVER: James can't afford to make any mistakes,
0:16:49 > 0:16:52but I don't think that's going to be a problem now.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02That's my boy. Look out, everyone, James is back!
0:17:09 > 0:17:13VOICEOVER: I dance for myself, I dance for the boys, but it feels
0:17:13 > 0:17:14good to be dancing for...
0:17:14 > 0:17:15..Riley again.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20The winner of that round was...

0:17:47 > 0:17:50VOICEOVER: My body feels tired, but it doesn't matter.
0:17:50 > 0:17:54Every time I think about slowing down I look over, and I see
0:17:54 > 0:17:56Riley, and it just keeps me going.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07VOICEOVER: This I where I belong.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11When I'm with James, everything feels right.
