0:00:02 > 0:00:04- Previously on The Next Step.... - Michelle was not supposed to fall to
0:00:04 > 0:00:07- the ground like that. - It looks like she passed out from
0:00:07 > 0:00:09- exhaustion and dehydration. - I'm sorry, Riley.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Got to go.
0:00:11 > 0:00:14Amanda leaves just before we are about to go on stage?
0:00:14 > 0:00:17- That's not like her.- This tour is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20The team just means more to me.
0:00:20 > 0:00:22- I love you, Sloane. - I love you too.
0:00:22 > 0:00:24I've always loved LaTroy.
0:00:24 > 0:00:27The only problem is he's still dating Amy.
0:00:27 > 0:00:29I went on a trip.
0:00:29 > 0:00:30- What?- I got you something.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32I'm not really in the mood for any souvenirs right now.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34Not even one from Switzerland?
0:00:48 > 0:00:50The boy's back, bro.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55I knew it. I knew Alfie would come through for us.
0:00:55 > 0:00:56That is what princely people do.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59We just went from nine dancers to ten.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Alfie just gave us a real shot at this.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03We can actually compete in regionals for real.
0:01:03 > 0:01:04I'm so glad you stayed.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09What's up, Pipes?
0:01:09 > 0:01:10- You're my hero!- You know that?
0:01:10 > 0:01:16I'm not a hero. I'm trying to make things right.
0:01:16 > 0:01:17Seeing Riley is hard.
0:01:18 > 0:01:22But I'm putting my heartbreak aside to do what's right for the team.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24- Thank you.- Don't worry about it.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27I can't believe James did this. He's amazing.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30It was tough keeping this secret from Riley but I didn't
0:01:30 > 0:01:34want to worry her. Plus seeing the look on her face right now.
0:01:34 > 0:01:35It's totally worth it.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38I'm so sorry for abandoning you guys.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40I realised, or I had some help
0:01:40 > 0:01:42coming to the realisation,
0:01:42 > 0:01:44that the team comes first.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46Yeah.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48Again, I'm so sorry, guys.
0:01:48 > 0:01:49Alfie. Stop.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52We forgave you right when you walked in the door.
0:01:52 > 0:01:53THEY LAUGH
0:01:53 > 0:01:54The Geminis are going to be
0:01:54 > 0:01:56the toughest competition that we've ever had.
0:01:56 > 0:02:00But we can take it, now that we have all ten dancers.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02- You guys ready?- ALL: Yeah!
0:02:02 > 0:02:03- Let's go.- Let's do it.
0:02:03 > 0:02:04One, two, three.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06ALL: The Next Step!
0:02:06 > 0:02:11It was a long ride to get here, but now we can compete for real.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13# We
0:02:13 > 0:02:18# We are gonna show the world
0:02:18 > 0:02:21# Everything we're made of
0:02:21 > 0:02:29# We're gonna tear the roof off this place
0:02:34 > 0:02:35# Stand up! #
0:02:57 > 0:03:01I've been worried about Michelle since she left the hospital,
0:03:01 > 0:03:03so I can't wait to hear how she's doing.
0:03:03 > 0:03:04- MICHELLE:- Hey! - Hey, how are you feeling?
0:03:04 > 0:03:06I'm feeling so much better.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08I've gotten a lot of rest and a lot of fluids
0:03:08 > 0:03:11and I'm ready to go for that ten-person dance.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14Well, let's just see how you feel first.
0:03:14 > 0:03:15I'm fine. I'm feeling good.
0:03:15 > 0:03:19Michelle pushed herself way too far and she might do it again.
0:03:19 > 0:03:20She needs to rest.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23Besides, with Alfie we already have ten dancers.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27Look, I just don't want to take any chances or make any promises.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31- OK?- I understand, I'm just saying I'm fine and...
0:03:32 > 0:03:34..I'm good to go but it's up to you.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36- OK.- Bye.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38Bye.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41Riley's making the best decision that she can as studio head
0:03:41 > 0:03:44but she's wrong. I need to find a way to change her mind.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50Hey!
0:03:50 > 0:03:53Is something wrong, because you don't seem like yourself?
0:03:56 > 0:03:57Everything's fine.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00I think I know you pretty well by now.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02I'm worried.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04Is it something with your dad?
0:04:05 > 0:04:07No, really. It's nothing.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10LaTroy, tell me the truth.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18All right. We need to talk.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24I don't think we should be together any more.
0:04:29 > 0:04:30You're dumping me?
0:04:33 > 0:04:37You're seriously dumping me right before the finals?
0:04:37 > 0:04:39Is this some kind of joke?
0:04:39 > 0:04:41I know it's not convenient.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43Convenient?
0:04:45 > 0:04:46You lied.
0:04:46 > 0:04:47You said you loved me.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50I'm sorry.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12Three days in the books.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14Welcome to the final day at the
0:05:14 > 0:05:16Absolute Dance Regionals Competition.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20The winner will be crowned later today.
0:05:20 > 0:05:24- Tanisha.- It's the Gemini Dance Studio up against The Next Step.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27This Gemini team has really come out of nowhere.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29Not only did they win every round here,
0:05:29 > 0:05:31but they also won two of the three qualifiers
0:05:31 > 0:05:33leading up to the competition.
0:05:33 > 0:05:34And honestly speaking,
0:05:34 > 0:05:38everyone here cannot wait to see what they bring to the table.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41The whole dance season has been building up to this.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44Yeah. It's been a crazy dance season.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46And you've been a huge part of that.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49You should be so proud of yourself for everything you've accomplished.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51Aw, thank you.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57- So how are you doing?- I'm OK.
0:05:57 > 0:05:58I'm probably ten times more stressed
0:05:58 > 0:06:00than I was when I was dancing but the worst
0:06:00 > 0:06:02part is that there's nothing I can do about it.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04Don't sweat it, Riley. We can take these clowns.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07Yeah. You know what we say in times like these.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10- BOTH: Don't even worry about it! - What are you laughing about?
0:06:12 > 0:06:15- Nothing. Nothing.- Why don't you guys go round everyone up.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18OK. Got it.
0:06:18 > 0:06:19Riley.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21So, your star is back.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23The one you're afraid we're going to steal.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26When we heard he bailed, we were glad he wasn't on our team!
0:06:26 > 0:06:29We don't like quitters.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32The Next Step doesn't quit, OK?
0:06:32 > 0:06:33And you'll see that today.
0:06:33 > 0:06:34Just be prepared for a battle.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36We haven't lost yet.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38And we don't expect that to change today.
0:06:46 > 0:06:47Hey!
0:06:48 > 0:06:52Do you want to talk about whatever's going on?
0:06:53 > 0:06:56I'm just all...
0:06:56 > 0:06:57..messed up right now.
0:06:57 > 0:07:01Just what with all these confusing emotions.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03LaTroy looks ready freaked.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05I have to let him know that he can do this.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08He'll do amazing in the final dance.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12LaTroy, You can talk to me.
0:07:12 > 0:07:13You can tell me anything.
0:07:15 > 0:07:16I broke up with Amy.
0:07:18 > 0:07:19Why?
0:07:22 > 0:07:24You know why, Sloane.
0:07:25 > 0:07:26It took me so long to realise it.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29It's you. I want to be with you, and
0:07:29 > 0:07:32I don't want to be with anybody else.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35I don't know what to say.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38Just, please, tell me you feel the same way.
0:07:38 > 0:07:42LaTroy, we need you backstage.
0:07:42 > 0:07:43Sorry, Sloane.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48- I've got to...- Yeah, go.
0:07:49 > 0:07:50Good luck.
0:07:56 > 0:08:00I know that LaTroy and I said we loved each other and I do.
0:08:00 > 0:08:01I love him but I just thought
0:08:01 > 0:08:05he would wait until after regionals to break up with Amy.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08I hope this doesn't affect her chance to win.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21My make-up isn't running, is it?
0:08:21 > 0:08:24No. It doesn't look like you've been crying at all.
0:08:24 > 0:08:25You're good.
0:08:25 > 0:08:30Well, Tanisha, the Gemini Studio is about to take the stage.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32I cannot wait to see this dance.
0:08:39 > 0:08:43Once again, Tanisha, they have yet to suffer the sting of defeat.
0:08:43 > 0:08:48This is Day Four and something tells me that they don't have a loss
0:08:48 > 0:08:49anywhere in their sights.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03- Hey!- Michelle, what you doing here?
0:09:03 > 0:09:07I'm here to dance and I'm not going to take no for an answer.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09I can't let you dance, Michelle.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12Why not? The doctors have cleared me to dance.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15No, that's not the issue. Alfie came back. We already have ten dancers.
0:09:18 > 0:09:22Seeing all those dancers, the pure shock value of all those twins,
0:09:22 > 0:09:23that has me worried.
0:09:24 > 0:09:28Please, Riley. I have worked so hard for this.
0:09:28 > 0:09:32I know but if I put 11 dancers on that stage we get disqualified.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35If I put you on the dance then I have to take an A-trouper off.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37I don't care if we have 100 dancers.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40I need to be one of those ten on stage.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43You and I both know that I'm one of the best dancers on A-Troupe,
0:09:43 > 0:09:44if not the best.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47You mean to tell me that you're not going to put your best dancer out
0:09:47 > 0:09:48there for the regionals final?
0:09:51 > 0:09:54Look, Michelle. Even if I agree with you, it's too late.
0:09:54 > 0:09:55It's not too late.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58You and I would do what ever it takes to this team to win.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01Putting me out there on that stage means we're going to have a better
0:10:01 > 0:10:03chance of winning and you know that.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05I can't deny that Michelle's right.
0:10:05 > 0:10:06Start warming up.
0:10:06 > 0:10:10Putting Michelle in the dance gives us the best chance at winning.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12But that just means I have to do something awful.
0:10:13 > 0:10:14Slowing things down.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18Oh, look at the move right in the middle of the floor.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20The suspensions and the one arm!
0:10:20 > 0:10:22APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:10:22 > 0:10:25Um, Michelle's back and she's going to be dancing.
0:10:25 > 0:10:29So if Michelle's dancing, that means that one of us isn't.
0:10:29 > 0:10:30- Right?- Yes.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32Who's out? Who is not dancing?
0:10:34 > 0:10:38I want to give us our best chances of winning out there, so,
0:10:38 > 0:10:39I hate that I have to choose...
0:10:39 > 0:10:44But to win I need to have the ten most focused dancers compete.
0:10:44 > 0:10:49Amanda, I'm sorry, but you won't be dancing in the final routine.
0:10:49 > 0:10:50Riley, don't do this.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52Do not take me out of that dance.
0:10:52 > 0:10:53This isn't happening.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57I can't believe Riley's pulling me from this dance
0:10:57 > 0:10:59after everything I've done for this team.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01You've been so distracted lately.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04I don't know where you've been but you have not been here.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06You want to know what I've been doing?
0:11:07 > 0:11:08I've been deciding whether or not
0:11:08 > 0:11:11whether I should go on a world tour with Gisele.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14You see. That's exactly what I'm talking about. How could you even
0:11:14 > 0:11:17think about abandoning the team at a time like this?
0:11:17 > 0:11:19What are you all doing standing here? Go warm up.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26Riley, I turned it down.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28I chose the team.
0:11:30 > 0:11:31I'm sorry, Amanda.
0:11:39 > 0:11:40Noah! Noah!
0:11:45 > 0:11:49It's true what they say. One choice can change everything.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02I stayed here to dance with my team.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07Riley was supposed to be my friend.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11How could she do this to me?
0:12:14 > 0:12:18I don't know how she can do this to you, either.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21But, look. If you don't want me to dance, I won't.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23Noah, don't be stupid.
0:12:23 > 0:12:24You have to dance.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27I still want you to win regionals.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31Even though I would hate to give Riley the satisfaction.
0:12:32 > 0:12:33Will you at least come watch?
0:12:33 > 0:12:36No, I can't.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38I can't even stand the thought.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41Sorry, guys, but Noah, we have to go.
0:12:43 > 0:12:44Go.
0:12:48 > 0:12:52I love you and we're going to get through this.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54- So, you coming?- Yeah. Let's go.
0:12:59 > 0:13:03I feel more betrayed than I've ever felt in my entire life.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06The Next Step is supposed to be my family.
0:13:06 > 0:13:10Well, you can't wave a stick without hitting the highs and lows
0:13:10 > 0:13:14The Next Step has endured throughout the course of this competition
0:13:14 > 0:13:18but here they are, getting set to take the stage in the finals.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22Well, can you answer this, Tanisha Scott?
0:13:22 > 0:13:24What does The Next Step have in the gas tank?
0:13:24 > 0:13:26Well, let's see.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28I'm excited to see what's going to happen.
0:13:28 > 0:13:29CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:13:29 > 0:13:31MUSIC: Ain't No Number Two by The Next Step
0:13:47 > 0:13:50I hate that I have to dance with LaTroy right now.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53I'm channelling all my hurt and anger into this performance.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07I pushed myself this year, and it was worth it.
0:14:07 > 0:14:08I'm so happy to be up here dancing.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21Being on the stage with my friends.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23I know I made the right choice.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31To tell the truth, they're killing it
0:14:31 > 0:14:32and they're a team.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34You can tell.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39Wow!
0:14:46 > 0:14:48I'm really proud to dance with my team,
0:14:48 > 0:14:50but it just isn't the same without Amanda.
0:15:23 > 0:15:24CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:15:36 > 0:15:38'Wow!'
0:15:38 > 0:15:45And what a finish. The Next Step has brought it all to the floor in this,
0:15:45 > 0:15:46the final day of competition
0:15:46 > 0:15:48at the Absolute Dance regionals competition.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51- Wow.- Chuck, I definitely don't envy the judges.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54This is going to be an extremely tough call.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57And we're about to come down with that decision in just moments.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59The Next Step, The Geminis.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01It's all down to this one moment.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14TANNOY: And the winner of the
0:16:14 > 0:16:16Absolute Dance Regionals Competition is...
0:16:18 > 0:16:19The Geminis!
0:16:26 > 0:16:28This can't be real.
0:16:29 > 0:16:30- I- don't know what to say.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37The Next Step lost and on my watch.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40I can't believe this is happening.
0:16:42 > 0:16:43I came all the way back to help the team win.
0:16:45 > 0:16:46I'm so disappointed.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51I gave it my all,
0:16:51 > 0:16:52but it wasn't enough.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56'Can you believe it?
0:16:56 > 0:16:59'The Geminis sweeping every single category this week.'
0:16:59 > 0:17:01and coming out of nowhere
0:17:01 > 0:17:03to win regionals, Tanisha.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05It's true, this team have definitely
0:17:05 > 0:17:08come from the trenches and come out on top.
0:17:09 > 0:17:15The Geminis have toppled the reigning international champions.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18The Next Step
0:17:18 > 0:17:20are done.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31I've learned so much from you, Michelle.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34Thanks, Piper, I've learned a lot from you, too.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37And the funny thing is that I cannot wait to get back in the studio and
0:17:37 > 0:17:38rehearse.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41I want to do it all over again.
0:17:41 > 0:17:42I know exactly how you feel.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44Right now, we're broken
0:17:44 > 0:17:46but I'm going to be there to help
0:17:46 > 0:17:48everyone pick up the pieces.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54Hey. You OK?
0:17:55 > 0:17:58I could have danced better if I didn't feel the way I do.
0:18:00 > 0:18:01I know what you mean.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05Heartbreak is the worst.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07Tell me about it.
0:18:08 > 0:18:13If you ever need anything, I'm here for you.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16Thanks. It means a lot.
0:18:16 > 0:18:17Come on.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19This has been a hard day.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21But there's nowhere to go from here but up.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25All right, Sloane. I put all my feelings out there.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29Now you know exactly how I feel about you.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33So, tell me the truth.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36The truth is...
0:18:37 > 0:18:40I've loved you my whole life and I couldn't stop now if I tried.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53LaTroy and I were always meant to be together.
0:18:53 > 0:18:54I'm glad he finally figured it out.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58Let's go and like, get an ice cream or something. Cool?
0:18:59 > 0:19:01Hey, Amanda. It's me again.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03We really missed you in that dance.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05Just give me a call when you get this.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08I haven't been able to get hold of Amanda for a while.
0:19:08 > 0:19:09I really hope she's OK.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13What you smiling at, man?
0:19:13 > 0:19:14We just lost.
0:19:16 > 0:19:17Or did we?
0:19:17 > 0:19:20- What do you mean?- It's all going to work out.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23I don't know how I know but I do.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25Something's up. I'm vibeing it.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27Whatever, man. Let's get out of here.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30I feel really bad.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33Hey, you did everything you could.
0:19:33 > 0:19:34But it wasn't enough.
0:19:35 > 0:19:40You've always got next year. You're not giving up already, are you?
0:19:40 > 0:19:41No.
0:19:41 > 0:19:42But I wanted it so bad.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46I mean, I feel like I had to prove myself.
0:19:46 > 0:19:50Riley, everyone who comes to regionals wants it so bad.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53Well, if that's true, then I should be thanking myself.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55Because even despite everything that's happened,
0:19:55 > 0:19:57I still feel like the luckiest girl.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59Oh, you feel like the luckiest girl?
0:20:01 > 0:20:02Since I've been studio head,
0:20:02 > 0:20:06I've had to make a lot of tough decisions, and you know what?
0:20:06 > 0:20:08I've made some mistakes along the way,
0:20:08 > 0:20:10but that's a part of growing up, I think.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12Just figuring it all out.
0:20:13 > 0:20:17The one big lesson I have learnt is that I love James...
0:20:17 > 0:20:21Sorry to interrupt what's going on here.
0:20:23 > 0:20:24You're the one for me.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30Whoa! No, no, no, no.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35- We're too young for this. - No, no, I know, Riley.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37This is a promise ring.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40I just... I hope I can actually get you a really nice ring
0:20:40 > 0:20:43when I ask you to marry me one day.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46- OK.- This is just a promise.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51- Yeah.- Yeah?
0:20:51 > 0:20:52- OK.- Right, cool.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56It's that one there, isn't it?
0:20:58 > 0:20:59I love you so much, James.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06# We
0:21:06 > 0:21:10# We're gonna show the world
0:21:10 > 0:21:14# Everything we're made of
0:21:14 > 0:21:19# We're gonna tear the roof off this place
0:21:19 > 0:21:21# You
0:21:21 > 0:21:25# You can never fade us out
0:21:25 > 0:21:28# Don't even ask the DJ
0:21:28 > 0:21:33# Everybody knows we own this sound... #
