No Good Deed The Next Step

-Previously on The Next Step...

-See you tonight?

-For sure.

I'm breaking the bro code,

but really excited to be able to spend some time with Jacquie.

-Hey, guys.

-Hey.

-Hey.

I know that you have feelings for Jacquie, and you're lying to me,

and that's not what friends do,

so from this point on, we are not friends.

I can't believe Noah didn't show up. He didn't even text me.

I definitely don't like the way he's treating me right now.

Amy! Abigail! What are you doing?

-Please reconsider. It was...

-No. I am pulling Amy from the studio.

Dancing is why I wake up in the morning -

because I love it so much.

I don't want to leave The Next Step.

-Hey, this one's on the house. You seem down.

-Thank you.

My mum found out that I wasn't on A-Troupe,

and so she pulled me from the studio,

and I'm finding it really hard

to accept the fact that I'm not dancing.

This is the only place I want to be. I don't want to dance anywhere else.

Erm, hey.

It's kind of awkward to see Piper

because we're not really on the best terms right now,

and I don't know what she's going to say.

I'm sorry about what happened. That's terrible.

I was cleaning out my locker and I found some of your stuff.

Oh, thank you.

Things have been a little rocky with me and Amy.

I just know that she needs a friend right now.

I've got an idea. We're going to get you back on the team.

Piper, my mum's never going to let me dance for Michelle again.

Maybe she won't let you dance for Michelle,

but she'll let you dance for Emily.

# We

# We are gonna show the world

# Everything we're made of

# We're gonna tear the roof off

# This place

# Stand up! #

-Hey, Jacquie.

-Hey.

I don't know what to think of Noah right now.

He stood me up at Neutral Grounds. I'm not OK with it.

But he must have a good reason and I need to figure it out.

What's going on, Noah?

I feel bad that I missed our date last night because of rehearsal,

but truthfully, I know I can't be with Jacquie

if I want to be friends with Henry again.

I don't know what I'm going to do.

I really like you, Jacquie, but...

But Henry doesn't feel comfortable with the situation,

-and I don't know...

-Henry?

Since I joined the studio, me and Henry haven't even talked.

I just assumed that we were good and he was over us, but I guess not.

This is why you've been acting so weird lately.

You know what? I'll be right back.

I need to go deal with this.

-So, I'm going to teach you guys how to do the Ozzy.

-OK.

First rule - it depends on the music.

So, depending on how the music is, it depends on the groove.

-Let me give you a beat.

-Let's go. Ready?

HE BEATBOXES

So, you should be, like, rocking.

-Just add, like, a step.

-I haven't been here long,

but I really connect with Ozzy and Henry.

They're really fun guys, and Ozzy's got a lot of moves.

The body's going. You can add some arms.

It's cool showing these guys the Ozzy. Basically, I do this step

whenever it's a party.

You just...

Maybe some shimmies.

-Is that good? Right here?

-Yeah. Right in there. Hey.

-HE LAUGHS

-Henry.

-It felt good.

-Yeah.

I need to talk to Henry because enough is enough.

He needs to stay out of my business, especially when it comes to Noah.

-Did you seriously tell Noah that we couldn't date?

-Maybe.

If you had a problem, why didn't you come to me?

I can hang out with whoever I want, so get over yourself,

and move on.

Ooh-hoo-hoo! Henry just got told.

-Bro, that was actually brutal.

-She just ripped him.

Henry just got sliced and diced.

Seriously, guys, I kind of feel like Jacquie has a point.

I hear you talk about Jacquie a lot.

Let me give an estimate. 5,000 times!

That's just an estimate.

I can guarantee it's probably double that.

Dude, you've got to move on.

Ozzy and I need to help Henry big time.

-I know what this guy needs.

-What?

-He needs a little bit of bro time.

HE LAUGHS I think bro time sounds good, bro.

-Oh, my gosh.

-BOTH:

-Bros! Bros! Bros! Bros! Bros! Bros! Bros!

Vegas, baby! Whoo! We're going to party all night!

Actually, I've got to be home by 7.30.

-Wow, that's awkward.

-So, Neutral Grounds.

-OK.

-Got it.

Kingston's right.

Hanging out with the boys is exactly what I need to get over Jacquie.

Let's focus. OK, we're going to get you back on this team.

We're going to remind Emily how great you are,

and maybe we can convince her that you should be an alternate.

You know, if you're dancing with Emily,

your mum will have to let you back at the studio. She has to.

I know Emily didn't want any alternates,

but I think we can change her mind.

We already know a terrific dance. You've got nothing to lose.

So, let's just do it.

Piper's right - I have nothing left to lose,

so it's worth a shot.

-OK, I'm in.

-OK. OK.

-So, I wanted to make a slight adjustment.

-Wait, adjustment?

You really think it's a good idea to mess with Emily's choreo?

I know it's a risk doing Emily's choreo with Amy again,

but this is her only chance.

She's my best friend, and I have to help her.

Don't worry, I've got a plan.

There's this part right in the middle and

I think you should do a solo.

-Throw some acro in there. Impress her.

-But you don't do acro.

It's fine. This is your time to shine.

This is my last chance to get back into The Next Step.

I better not blow it.

-Yo, that game yesterday!

-I know. It was so good.

I called the winner from the start.

Yo, if I wasn't so focused on dance, I'd go pro.

Ozzy!

Wow.

Know what? May need a little bit of practice.

Ozzy and Kingston are trying to cheer me up, and it's working,

but every now and then, the thought just pops back into my head.

I remember I used to watch basketball games

-with Jacquie all the time.

-Here we go again, man.

We brought this guy out

so he could stop thinking about Jacquie. Like, get over it!

When her team was in the play-offs,

she used to wear their jersey until they were eliminated.

-She was, like, a die-hard basketball fan.

-OK.

And now she's probably watching games with Noah.

When Henry talks about Jacquie, my face goes like this.

-Henry, you need to get over this girl.

-Yeah.

Henry, look at me! You need to get over this!

-I'm over it.

-You're definitely not over it.

No, you're really not, man.

The best way to get over an old love is new love,

and that's what we're going to do - find you a new love.

Oh, I've been here before. Come on, guys.

Ozzy and Kingston are great, but what do they know about love?

We're going to search all day, all week. You know what?

-Even all month.

-All year! CLATTERING

-Yo, how about her?

-Oh, my gosh.

-I think she's perfect.

-Me too.

Please, someone, make it stop.

Right now, we're rehearsing Daniel's choreo,

so I can convince Emily to make me an alternate.

If it works, I might not get to Regionals,

but at least I'll be on A-Troupe.

I want it to look classy and neat.

I don't want it, like, competition cliche.

I get that. We don't want sparkles, yeah, but...

Amy, what are you doing here?

I feel bad Amy was pulled from her studio,

but this place is for A-Troupe dancers only.

I really do not want to be getting

any angry phone calls from your mother.

Maybe I should call her and let her know you're here.

No. No, you don't need to.

I just want to tell you that

being at The Next Step is so important to me,

and I didn't realise how important it was,

or how important dancing is, until I got it taken away.

I'm so proud of Amy for speaking her mind.

This is why she dances, and I hope Emily can hear this.

If you guys give me chance,

I can show you how determined and driven I am.

-Amy, look...

-No, if rehearsal's at eight, I'll be here at seven.

If I'm not getting a step, then I'll keep practising.

I'll even book private lessons.

I don't have to be a main dancer. I'm just asking to be an alternate.

Please, we have something prepared. Let us show you.

I don't believe in alternates

because I don't think any A-Troupe member

should have to sit on the sidelines,

but I guess seeing what Amy can do can't hurt.

OK, if you're so determined, I want to see it in your dancing.

-Yes!

-OK.

I know that I have to leave everything on the floor.

I'm not going to get another chance.

I am very nervous to dance in front of Daniel and Emily,

but I am happy that I'm dancing with my best friend.

# And if we must battle forever

# We swear that we'd never surrender

# And when we're on top of the world

# We're gonna take the power

# And we never give it back

# You know what it takes just to conquer

# We fail but we shall never falter... #

Amy's acro is amazing.

I haven't seen someone flip like her since Giselle.

I mean, it's very, very cool to watch.

I've never seen Amy be this on in a dance before.

Whatever she's done to change her focus,

Amy's really shining right now.

# I feel you're like thunder If you want it, we got it

# We're never gonna stop until we're on top

# On top of the world. #

You did well.

We'll think about it. Thank you, ladies.

We did all we could.

I have done everything I can to get back into the studio.

It's up to Emily now.

Bro, we need to get him to talk to her.

-Yo, I agree.

-Come on, man. She's cute.

What's the worst that could happen? She'll spill a little juice on you?

-That juice'll wash out and your love could last forever.

-Ooh!

Guys, I know it seems like two years has been a long time,

but personally, I'm not ready to get back in the game.

The server at Neutral Grounds is pretty cute.

I think it'll help Henry get his mind off Jacquie.

You've just got to do it. It's like ripping off a Band-Aid.

-Check it.

-Oh, here we go.

-This is how it's done.

-Yeah.

Yo, shorty. Do you live in this fruit bowl?

Cos, girl, you're a real peach.

Ozzy's talking to this girl and he's bombing it,

but you have to admit, he's got guts.

-Can I get you anything?

-Your number.

-Seriously?

I apologise about my friend here.

He's a little bit of his own species,

and he's trying to teach me how to pick up girls.

I've just been talking to him about this rough patch

that I'm going through with my ex-girlfriend and my best friend.

There's a lot going on. I have a flood of emotions and...

Don't worry. I understand.

I know if I broke up with my boyfriend, I'd be devastated.

See? She gets it.

You have a boyfriend? Your loss, baby.

-I'm sorry.

-I think you need someone other than those guys to talk to.

-Yeah, I really do.

-I think you need a girl's perspective.

Yes, that's exactly what I need.

I have a break in ten minutes if you want to talk then?

-That'd be awesome.

-OK, cool.

-Cool. See you in ten.

I owe you.

I'm not so happy about the way that they did it,

but I'm glad Ozzy and Kingston made me talk to Heather.

See, I knew bro time was going to pay off.

Noah!

I wasn't sleeping.

OK. Listen, I talked to Henry about us,

and basically said if we want to hang out, we can.

He needs to stay out of it.

-You talked to Henry?

-Yes.

-About us?

-Yes.

This is good news. What is Noah not getting?

How can Henry possibly be OK with Jacquie and I?

I have to get to the bottom of this.

I have to go.

Noah should be happy about this, but now he's acting so weird.

I don't even know if this is worth it.

And then she basically said I wasn't a good enough dancer

and she completely forgot about me, so...

Sounds like you guys might not have been the best match.

I guess, but, honestly, talking about it makes me feel a lot better.

It's like a weight has been lifted off my back, so, thanks.

Yeah, for sure.

Heather's a great listener,

and I'm kind of not even thinking about Jacquie any more.

This is exactly what I needed.

There's so many dancers that come in here.

It must be, like, annoying hearing about dance all the time.

-I get by.

-Yeah.

So, what's it like working here in Neutral Grounds?

It's honestly not that bad.

Like, I always go home smelling like guava, but the people are nice.

-You're not a guava person?

-No.

-Cool.

-HE CHUCKLES

Henry and this girl make a really cute couple.

They're laughing, they're talking, they're having fun,

and it's really nice to see Henry happy again.

Yo, don't interrupt my boy. He's with a girl.

Yo, Henry's on a date.

-He's on a date?

-Yeah, man.

So, this is why Henry told Jacquie he's OK.

I mean, he likes someone else. This makes perfect sense.

Do you need us to give him a message?

Forget about it. It's all good.

Henry being on a date is basically a flashing green light

for me to go out with Jacquie.

# Don't you worry about the rise and fall

# Cos every moment... #

Right now, I'm dancing for myself.

I'm not dancing for my mum, or Piper, or Emily and Daniel.

I'm dancing because I need to dance.

# Ha! Ooh! Oh-oh!

# Got a feel, got a feel, got a feel, got a feeling... #

Dancing in Studio 1 is magical. I feel like I can do anything.

It's where I want to be.

# The wheels keep going if we're moving in slow motion

# Slow motion, slow motion

# Moving in slow motion, slow motion, slow motion

# How it all, how it all, how it all comes down tonight. #

I'm just dancing one last time in this beautiful studio

before I leave forever.

Emily didn't let you come back to the studio?

Just kidding. I'm back!

I can't believe Piper's plan worked.

My mum is going to be so happy.

This is where I belong.

-I can't wait to dance with you.

-Me too.

So, what are you doing here so early?

Rehearsals don't start for a while.

Oh, well, Emily just wanted to meet me in her office.

-Well, don't keep her waiting!

-No.

So, Amy's an alternate.

Erm, no, Piper. You know I don't believe in alternates.

Amy is a full-fledged member of A-Troupe.

So, that means there's 11 dancers.

You have to cut one.

Yes, I do, Piper, and that's why I wanted to see you.

No alternates...

..means that Amy took my spot.

Look, as studio head, I sometimes have to make difficult decisions.

This was a difficult decision.

-I'm really sorry, Piper.

-Piper, you're a very good dancer.

I'm sure you'll figure something out.

And we would love to have you on B-Troupe.

I was just trying to help a friend.

-I worked so hard...

-Piper!

-..so that I could be on this team,

and I got cut?!

I wanted to make A-Troupe, but not like this.

Piper, I am so, so sorry for what happened.

I never meant or wanted you to be kicked off of A-Troupe.

It's fine.

I will quit A-Troupe so you can have your spot back.

Amy, don't be silly.

I don't want to see Amy right now.

I know she feels bad, but

there's nothing she can do.

I will do anything to help you get back on A-Troupe.

That won't be necessary.

I never wanted her to get kicked off of A-Troupe.

I don't know what's going to happen now.

I just hope Piper's going to be OK.

Yeah. So, this is TNS West, or we just like to call it Studio A.

-Wow.

-Yeah.

-It's amazing.

-Thanks.

-Erm, you see that chandelier?

-Yeah.

-I built it myself from scratch.

-Believable.

-Actually, I'm lying, erm,

but, yeah, this is where I am most of the time.

I invite Heather to the studio

because I think we're going to be friends

and I want her to see what I'm all about.

Oh, and this is some of the troupe.

Piper, are you OK?

When Piper walks into my studio, I instantly know what has happened.

Piper.

Michelle, can I please talk to you?

There's nothing to talk about.

We've been keeping your spot warm. Welcome to my team.

I really have no idea why Emily would ever kick Piper off her team.

She is one of the most technical and amazing dancers I've ever seen.

Thank you.

Home is where people want you,

and I'm at home in Michelle's troupe.

I think this calls for a celebration.

-How about ice cream on me?

-Yeah, totally.

With Piper on our team,

that means we only need two more dancers for Regionals.

I don't know where they are, but they're out there, somewhere.

-Cool. Do you want to come?

-Yeah, I'll be there in a second.

All right, cool. Catch you.

I wish I could dance in this studio,

even though I know it'll never happen.

Part of me will always be a dancer...

..even if I can never compete again.
