Brave New World The Next Step

Previously on The Next Step...

You switched over to Michelle's team.

-It's war.

-Only it's not war.

Shh! It's war.

-Wes, your choreography was horrible.

-Get your things and get out.

-Who's your fifth dancer?

-Sorry I'm late, everyone.

I have been on Michelle's team, I know their weaknesses,

I am ready to crush them.

We have chosen...TNS East.

There is no coming back, this is the end.

# I do what I want

# I do what I want

# I do what I want

-# I do what I want

-He's got this

-# I do what I want

-Yes, sir

# I do what I want... #

My dancers deserve to be celebrating.

With our victory over Michelle's team,

A Troupe can turn our attention back to regionals.

We don't even have to think about TNS West any more.

Being on a winning team is everything to me.

I'm so excited we get to go to regionals.

We could not have done it without Elliot.

He has it all. He has great technique

and he is 100% committed to the team.

This team is much more my style.

None of the dancers are at my level,

but they are much closer than Michelle's team.

# ..I do what I want

# I do what I want

# I do what I want... #

Form my A Troupe,

check. Dance battle, check.

Bye-bye, TNS West.

It's all about TNS East now.

ALL: TNS East! TNS East! TNS East!

My dancers were depending on me to go to regionals.

Now that we've lost, the only thing left to do

is to disband the team.

# We are going to show the world

# Everything we're made of

# We're gonna tear the roof off this place...

# ..Stand up! #

Now it's time to get serious.

If you thought that was hard,

you have no idea what it is like to try and win regionals.

It's time for us to look towards the future,

and the future for this studio is a video.

A video, that will be uploaded to a website where a panel of judges will

decide who even gets to go to regionals this year.

The qualifier video is new for regionals this year.

So many teams want to compete,

and this is how they will choose the best teams.

All I know is that we are going to make the best dance video ever.

All right. I only have one last question.

Whose box is this?

I'd actually like to make an announcement, please.

Now, I've only been here for a very short time,

but I know greatness when I see it.

This is a great team and we need something

to let the whole world know.

It's a new look for The Next Step.

Whoa.

I normally wouldn't buy expensive gifts for my team,

but look at their little faces. They're so sweet.

And there's one for each and every one of you.

Including our glorious leader, the beautiful, the talented Emily.

I need to build up some goodwill on A Troupe.

I can't afford to get kicked off another team.

It's only been a day since we lost the chance to go to regionals.

And we don't really know what to do with ourselves.

Losing the dance battle,

this is the worst thing ever.

Hey.

Flashy new threads.

Elliot bought jackets for the entire team.

Elliot must be rich to buy ten jackets.

Our team just lost the chance to go to regionals.

I don't need to hear about A Troupe jackets right now.

Anyways, a bunch of us dancers are going out tonight, you want to come?

Actually, I'm busy tonight.

You OK?

Yeah, I'm fine. I'm good.

The one person I want to celebrate with doesn't want

to celebrate with me.

I think I really need to talk to him.

MUSIC PLAYS

After everything that went on so far,

I just feel like I really need to release all of the tension

and it feels amazing just having time to myself.

So basically, in this dance, I'm the composer and I'm seeing the music in

front of me and I'm kind of creating instruments as I go.

So everything that I hear in the music,

I'm trying to dance it and make it real.

Dancing always feels great,

but I'd dreamt of winning regionals this year and

now I just don't know what to do.

This is J Troupe rehearsal.

What? What do you mean?

Emily booked this time for us.

We just lost the dance battle and Emily's already given our studio

to J Troupe?

That's just plain cold. OK, see, listen...

..I was here first. I mean, I kind of booked this spot.

Excuse me, Emily booked this space, now it's time for you to get out.

-Wow, are you serious?

-Please take your bench off the floor.

No, I don't want to move my bench, what are you talking about?

It's sitting in the middle of the floor, move your bench.

I know your mama didn't raise you that way.

I'm not moving that bench. You move that bench.

Aren't you a little old to be on J Troupe?

Hey!

What are you...? What?

Oh, my goodness.

Sloane has been on tour with Luther Brown for a really long time and I

haven't been able to see her.

Her smile is all I want to see right now.

I'm not going to be Luther's assistant any more.

Wait, what? Why?

Because I'm going to be a dancer on the upcoming tour.

-Are you serious?

-Yes!

-Are you serious?

-Wait.

But wait, that's not it.

-That's not it. That's not the best part.

-So there's more?

-Yes.

-What are you, like...?

So, since I'm not going to be his assistant,

he will need an assistant.

-OK.

-Which means...

Which means...

Oh!

Oh.

This is honestly the best news.

I can't believe Sloane did this for me.

I'm just proud of him and I'm excited

that he's going to keep doing this

and for sure, I'm going to be around to support him.

So, what's wrong?

I've got to talk to Michelle first, though.

-OK.

-I have honestly no idea how Michelle is going to react,

especially after we just lost the dance battle.

I just hope she doesn't hate me.

Things are a little tense between Piper and I right now.

All I want to talk about is regionals.

And all Piper doesn't want to talk about is regionals.

-Hey, guys.

-Sloane!

Sloane's here.

This will be such a great distraction from the R word.

-What?

-I missed you guys.

-I missed you!

-We missed you.

I was just talking to LaTroy and he told me about regionals, congrats.

That's awesome.

Thanks.

Honestly, guys, I'm fine.

I'm good, you can talk about this stuff, I am happy for you, Amy.

It's tough when your friends have all this great stuff happening and

you have nothing.

So, we have to submit a dance video to qualify for regionals and we are

going to have wicked choreo.

I don't blame them for talking about the regionals video.

But I just can't do it.

I'm going to go grab a snack.

Hey, Heather. How are you doing?

I've literally gotten every single order wrong today.

Tell me about it.

-Can I please have a muffin?

-Yeah, sure.

Thank you.

This is a power bar.

I did it again. I've never felt this down in my whole life.

Yesterday, I was a dancer, today, I'm just working at a juice bar.

Hey.

I was wondering if you had time to talk.

Come in.

Listen.

I just heard about this really amazing opportunity.

Say no more. Luther Brown called me.

I just found out...

LaTroy, you don't have to explain.

You have to take this opportunity.

To be the assistant of a world-class choreographer is huge.

You'd be making the biggest mistake if you didn't take this.

I just didn't want to let you down, that's all.

You're not letting me down, I let down the whole team,

-I failed everyone.

-Wait, you didn't fail anyone.

You know, we may not have made it to the finish line, but without you,

Michelle, we wouldn't be in the race.

To see LaTroy leave the studio is really hard.

I was on A Troupe with him last year and we had a blast.

And to now see him go, it's really hard.

We're really going to miss you.

But good luck.

Thank you.

Have fun.

I will.

Bye, Michelle.

I really wish that LaTroy and the team could have gone to regionals.

But now he's moving on to bigger and better things,

and I'm really proud of him.

I just wish it could be different.

Five, six, seven, eight.

Up, one, two, three, four...

I'm getting a head start on the qualifier video by working through

some choreography. Four, five, six, seven, eight.

One... Zara, a little too much flourish in your movement.

-Clean it up, please.

-Zara, might be onto something.

Richelle does not look too happy right now.

If this dance had any less flourish, I'd be on the ground, sleeping.

What is Elliot doing?

I would never try and overstep the dance captain.

Elliot, you're going to need something for that freezer burn.

Well, Elliot, at The Next Step, the dancers listen to the dance captain.

The dancer is just trying to make the dance better.

Well, I know how to make the dance better.

I get that, but good enough is not going to cut it.

We have to impress Daniel, hence the reason we need something killer.

Elliot is really intense, but I'm like that, so I respect that.

Something like that would add the wow that the dance really needs.

But only if the dance captain thinks it's a good idea.

Elliot wants greatness for our team,

and that's something I can get behind.

Well, I'll consider your changes to the choreo.

For now, get to the front and get them working.

OK. Perfect. So, you do your jete, and then you go into a little salsa.

-Elliot.

-What?

Good job.

Like I was saying... Richelle's never had somebody at her level

to dance with. Now that I'm here, she'll be unstoppable.

I just need to be alone right now.

So much has happened.

These past few days, we've lost...

I just need some time.

Oh, hey, there you are.

Are you OK? You seem to be taking this loss really hard.

-You don't get it.

-What?

The best day of your life was the worst day of mine.

I worked hard for this and you know that.

You're the one who walked away from A Troupe.

And you don't think I've been thinking about that all day?

You're going to regionals and then nationals,

and then probably have a professional dance career.

And I'm going to be a recreational dancer for the rest of my life.

-Noah.

-And the worst part of all of this

is I know how excited you are,

and I want to be excited for you, but I can't.

I can't celebrate with you.

All I'm going to do is bring you down.

So, why don't you just go celebrate with your people.

I got it. I think Elliot met a leprechaun and a leprechaun had a

pot of gold. He took the gold, and got money from the gold.

We've been talking about how Elliot got those jackets all day.

Maybe he has a million friends and they each gave him 1.

A million friends.

Elliot doesn't have any friends.

I'm not saying Elliott robbed a bank to get that jacket money,

but those are some pretty nice jackets.

There he is right now. We're going to get to the bottom of this.

Can I get an apple juice and a...?

OK, I got to go.

So we heard about your generous gifts.

You know, those jackets must have been expensive.

They look dry clean only.

Jackets like that are only dry clean only.

How do you pay for jackets like that?

I got it. Did you win the lottery?

-Just the genetic one.

-No, definitely not the lottery.

But an inheritance. Definitely an inheritance. Or part-time job.

-I think you have a part-time job.

-No. I don't have a part-time job.

Nor did I win the lottery. Not that it's any of your business,

but I got the money from my parents.

-Thanks.

-Yep.

Yep. Parents make the most sense.

-Yeah.

-I still think it was a leprechaun.

Elliot forgot his credit card. Will you please take it to him?

I do not want to deal with him again today.

-Sure, I'll do it.

-Thank you.

Whoa. Do you see that?

This is interesting.

Quick, to the World Wide Web.

I wouldn't consider myself a detective,

but I'm ready to solve this case.

Elliot, you are going down.

So, how are you feeling?

I just can't believe I'm leaving.

Were you actually going to leave without saying goodbye?

Well, you know I'm not good with words, man.

Words are overrated.

How about a dance with the best one last time?

You know I'd love to, but Noah's not here.

-Cue music.

-I got this.

I couldn't let LaTroy leave without saying goodbye,

and I couldn't let him leave without one last dance.

MUSIC PLAYS

When I dance with LaTroy,

it feels like we're speaking the same language.

He's like my bro. I love dancing with him.

Dancing with him this time...

..means a lot.

LaTroy is the only other person here that understands what it's like to

be a strictly hip-hop dancer, and push boundaries and try new things.

It's really sad that he has to leave,

but he's got to do what he's got to do.

-OK.

-If I have to say goodbye,

I couldn't think of any better way.

-I'm going to miss you, man.

-I'm going to miss you too, man.

-Take care.

-It was great to see you.

-Henry out.

-What I'm going to miss about TNS is the friendship,

the bond that I really had with them.

I'm going to miss that the most.

I'm so frustrated at myself right now that

I can't even think straight.

Now I'm not going to regionals, I'm not on A Troupe

and most importantly I was rude to the girl that I like.

I just want this day to be over with.

I've been so excited lately because of the win

that I forgot that Noah lost and he needs some support right now.

-Hey.

-Shouldn't you be out celebrating with your team-mates?

I cancelled.

I really need to talk to you.

Look, you were right.

It was the best day of my life and the worst day of yours.

And I know you can't celebrate...

..and I understand.

Why are you doing this?

Because I want you to know that I am here for you.

And I'm not going anywhere.

If Noah's going to sit here for hours,

then I will sit here for hours.

I'm all in.

Having the girl of my dreams beside me, just being there for me,

is the best thing I could ever ask for.

I may have lost some things, but I

haven't lost everything.

-Michelle!

-Michelle!

-Michelle!

-Michelle!

-Michelle!

Guys, I'm right here. Hello, guys.

Ozzy, Ozzy, Ozzy, Ozzy. Michelle, Michelle, Michelle.

Credit card.

William. Leprechaun.

INDISTINCT SPEECH

Ozzy and I discovered something really important and we need to tell

Michelle right now.

Slow down. Take a breath.

And try again.

Do you want to start this one?

-Basically...

-I'll do it, I'll do it.

Earlier today, we found Elliot's credit card.

He left it.

The name on the credit card isn't actually Elliot,

he's been lying to us this whole time.

His name's William.

-William Elliot.

-He's been using his middle name the whole time.

That's completely normal.

-A lot of people...

-No, no, no, no.

William Elliott is a professional dancer.

Boom!

There's the truth. We googled him and discovered that

-Elliott, AKA William, danced on Broadway.

-What?

-Broadway.

-No, he didn't.

-Yes. Check it out.

-Yeah.

-Search him up.

-Elliott has danced on Broadway?

Professional dancers are not allowed to dance on competitive teams.

Emily can't have him on her team.

This means Emily's win doesn't count.

This changes everything.
