(Frank) Previously...

The gang were assessed by Armando and Gabrielle on their dance abilities.

(Armando) Claudine Renault from Germany. I'm leaning towards her as my first choice.

Isaac is still a real contender. But that's no surprise.

So is Jeffrey. And that is a surprise.

Lena's half sister Romy is in Paris with their dad

and hopes to follow in Lena's footsteps at the Paris Opera Ballet School.

Bree and Oscar fell in love in 1983, but Bree hasn't seen present‐day Oscar yet.

Oscar, where are you? Lena made a deal with the Bureau

not to use time travel until after the Chosen One is revealed.

But Romy has her timepiece now and she has no idea about the deal.

Don't touch it, okay?

(Romy) Hey. Pssst. Lena.

Oh, it's such a nice day. I'm just gonna sit here and think about the meaning of life.

(Romy) Hey. Down here. Lena.

(Lena hums)

(sighs) Lena, I know you can see me.

(grunts)

I need your help and I am invoking the sister clause,

which means that you can't refuse, no matter what.

Uh, I don't think I've ever heard of this clause.

Okay, fine, I made it up. But we're sisters and we have to have each other's backs, right?

Uh‐huh. What do you need?

Well... I need you to convince Armando and Gabrielle to let me billet at the school,

so that I can stay here and prep for my audition to get into the school and then convince my dad.

I see. Now, before I invoke on this sister clause, I have a question.

Oh. Yes, yes, yes. Ask me anything.

Okay.

Do you really love ballet?

Not just because it's what I do, but because you can't imagine your life without it?

Yes. A hundred percent. Absolutely.

Okay. Then consider the sister clause activated. Yes. (giggles)

You're the be‐est. What are you gonna do? Nothing.

What? Well, the sister clause is about having each other's backs, right?

So, the best way I can do that, is to help you realize that if you wanna be here,

you have to earn it. (sighs) Wait.

Ugh. Thanks for nothing.

(Jeffrey) L?

Have you seen L?

L... Oh L, have you seen this?

Seen what? Dude, it's the results for the trial assessments.

We've been ranked for the workshop that we did in the south.

Claudine is first girl? Claudine? How is that even possible?

Sure, but I'm...

Is there a problem, Miss Grisky? (clears her throat) No, Ms. Carré. Uhm...

How did Claudine get first girl? I mean, she doesn't even go to this school.

Mr. Castillo's evaluations are based on the workshop in the south of France.

He felt she deserved it.

(scoffs) What?

She deserved it... You're kidding me.

(sighs) Hey, you done steaming? Cause I need to show you something.

Oh no, Ines is fifth?

(sighs) Well, that's terrible.

Has she seen this? Is she okay? I need to talk to her.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Right. Uhm, it's a total shocker, I know.

But, dude, look at the boys' list.

(gasps) You got first boy? (laughs) I got first boy.

Oh, that is awesome! I'm so proud of you.

Thank you. I'm proud of me, too.

Oooh. (squeals)

Oh no, oh no. Don't let go. Isaac is going to be so weird about this.

Ines. No. Do not go!

Don't leave me. She needs me more right now.

(grunts) No, not today. No, no.

Go talk to him. (sighs)

It's nothing, okay? It's a blip. It's a blip.

But what if it's not?

(sniffles) Listen. This was just...

It was a trial assessment to prepare us for the real thing, right?

(sighs) When the real rankings come out, we're gonna place one and two in company.

It's our only goal. Got it?

(sniffles)

Hey. Uh... Oh...

(Armando) So Café de l'Amour... Hm‐hm.

Right, well... (clears his throat) Thank you for stopping by, Ms. Walsh.

And I look forward to seeing you again soon.

Until then, sir. Good day to you.

(laughs) Hey, Mr. Castillo, who is... (door slams shut)

that?

Oh. Oh, for C... What do you think you're doing?

Heeey. (giggles) So, I know this school allows dancers from out of town to stay here

while they train for their auditions. Hm.

Uhm, and last year it was three students from China and one from Canada.

And the year before that... Yes, yes, I know that...

Lena and Ines will vouch for me. My dad is totally on board. I want this.

And we both know I'm your favorite student. (laughs)

So, we good? Sure.

Yes! Just fill out these forms. And...

Thank you. Thank you. No, thank you.

(sings) I've got moves. Okay. Okay. That's enough.

(laughs) Very good. Well done. Save the energy. Come on.

You're going to love Oscar. He's so sweet and kind

and he always supports my awesome eighties hair, like even with his hands.

What? Like literally? Yeah.

Oh, I can't wait to meet him. (both giggling)

(Frank) The Bureau has a weakness. We just have to find it and exploit it.

(all at once) What are you doing here? We're here to see Oscar.

Isn't he the best? Totally the best.

Have you seen him? (both) Have you?

(both) We're so in sync today. (laughing)

(Oscar) I'm Alistair Jim Smith, manager to the stars.

I'm Alistair Jim Smith, manager to the stars.

(squeals) Oscar‐roo!

Bree, baby. Have I ever missed you. That's Oscar?

Then who is Alistair Jim Smith? Well, it's his undercover manager name.

Oh, Oscar, I've missed you so much since 1983. It feels like it's been forever.

Bree, it's good to see you again, babe. Ooh... (laughs)

(both humming)

Move. (Bree) Oh.

Dial it back... lovebirds.

(sighs) Today is the worst.

The absolute worst.

You won't believe what happened this morning.

I found Romy hiding in the bushes waiting to "invoke the sister clause".

Is that even a thing? No.

She made it up so that I'd help her stay to audition. (laughs) Isn't that funny?

Hey.

Yo, bros.

(Jeffrey) Uh...

So uh, how about those sports?

I have news. So, you know that woman that was with Mr. Castillo today?

That's Kathleen Walsh. The Kathleen Walsh?

Yeah. She's like a massive deal at the Empire Ballet.

She brought ballet to Broadway. That's a total game changer, yo.

What was she doing here?

Oh, you look good, sir. Ooh, you're very dressed up.

Wow. No choreo pants? Who even are you? (laughs)

Okay. Classes this afternoon are canceled.

Instead, take today to review your assessments and rehearse on your own.

I'm... I'm glad you brought that up, sir.

Actually, I'd like to set up a meeting to discuss my assessment.

The ranks are not up for debate. If you're unhappy with your placement,

I suggest you concentrate on the real auditions next month.

Dudes. I totally get it and it is terrible.

That Kathleen woman is poaching Armando.

No way. He loves it here. Does he?

I mean, he hasn't been getting along with Gabrielle all year.

Yeah, and that suit was nice. Too nice. Interview nice.

And their handshake this morning did look really official.

And he's all about the future, and there's that Broadway play

about dancing trains in the future. Face it. He's leaving us.

Armando can't leave us. Lena's right. We have to do something.

Armando's the best dance teacher we've ever had.

Yeah. He's the reason I got fir...

I've come so far.

Listen, I'm not going down without a fight.

As if he thought I'd let him leave before he changes my rank to first boy, where I belong.

Let's meet in the studio in ten minutes.

Okay, everyone think of an idea so good that Armando can't possibly leave us.

Yeah. Then we'll pick the best one.

Let's go.

There you are. We need to leave in a few hours.

Hop on this suitcase. I can't get it to close.

What's all that?

Oh...

It's the billeting forms for the school. Please let me stay and audition for next year.

I've already filled everything out, so you just need to sign it.

Romy, we've talked about this. You're too young to live in another city.

We'll see about that. What?

Oh, nothing. (giggles)

Okay, Armando is nowhere in sight. What brilliant plans have you got?

All I came up with was getting him a gift. Hey, that was my idea.

(both) And mine. Yeah, me too.

Okay, so we're thinking gift. What does he like, other than choreo pants?

(gasps) We could get him a crate of stress oranges.

Oh no, wait. Maybe we shouldn't remind him of how much we stress him out.

(all laughing)

Oh, I'm going to miss scary orange farts.

That's it. I don't think it is.

No, no. Every time he's been really nervous,

was right before big performances. So we do a show just for him.

Yeah, what's his favorite? There are so many. How could you choose?

There's this one. (hip‐hop music plays)

There's this one, too. (Lena) Oh. (laughing)

Or my personal favorite.

(all laughing)

Wait, we don't choose. We'll do a routine of all his favorites

and we'll use a song that makes him cry.

That's a really good idea. Devious, L. I like it.

(giggles) How could he resist?

(Lena) Let's do this.

(both laughing)

Big Al, what's the word on that ten continent tour?

(Oscar) Oh, one sec. Got another call.

The Queen wants to meet Henri?

Well, tell her to get in line. Pooh.

(phone ringing)

No. A six‐page spread minimum. Call it "Henri's steamy style secrets".

Ha. Yeah.

Hold on. Come here, okay? Come here, come here. Right.

What are you doing? I don't want to go on tour.

I don't have any steamy style secrets.

I get it, you want to defeat the Bureau and save the world,

but I need to impress Bree.

That's what this is about? Yeah...

Listen, you have to just trust me. She likes you for you. You don't have to be anyone else.

Correction, she liked eighties Oscar. New me is so much cooler.

She's gonna like me so much more.

(admiring sigh) Isn't he just dreamy?

Uhm no, not really. How could you say that?

He's too slick. Too... ick. Uhm. He is the opposite of ick. He's like not ick.

He is so ick. (Frank clears his throat)

Oh, don't mind me. I'm just trying to... you know,

save us from being captured by the Bureau.

(gasps) You're jealous. Of you and that guy? Uhm, no.

Don't worry. We just need to find you a cool time travel boyfriend.

Not happening.

Please let me audition for the Paris Opera Ballet School.

I know you think I'm too young. But Lena started when she was eight.

And dancers have to start young to make company.

Honey, we can't afford it.

(metallic whirring)

Dad, please let me go to the POBS. I'm old enough and I can get a scholarship.

No. Sorry. You have to focus on school.

When you get distracted, your grades drop.

(whirring)

I promise I'll get straight As. No, you need supervision.

(sighs) (metallic whirring)

Well, Lena said she'll look out for me. You're always losing your tutus.

(whirring)

I found a second‐hand tutu store on speed dial. You're too young.

(scoffs) You've already said that one. (whirring)

I'll have you know I can keep this up forever. (giggles)

(Lena) Come on, guys, everything has to be perfect, okay? Do it for Mr. Castillo. (giggles)

L, Armando hasn't come back to school. I've been looking for him everywhere.

What if he doesn't come back at all?

We have to find him. Okay, everyone fan out.

Check the Garnier, his fancy hair salon, the choreo pants shop.

Just text everyone, okay? Search Paris, people! Go, go, go!

We need to talk. Oh, uhm... hi.

Uh, now is not really a good time.

Why have you been using your timepiece?

What? I haven't.

(device beeps) Well, it says here that you are.

Trust me, we don't want to break our deal with Quinn.

I know what's going on. I'm gonna fix it. But can you cover on the Bureau side?

I can this once, but it can't happen again.

Trust me, the only reason we're free is because you swore we wouldn't use our timepieces.

Yeah, I know and I'm on it. I promise. (sighs)

(Oscar) Grazie. Ciao.

Uhm, Oscar‐roo, I really want you to bond with my BFF Kennedy.

It's really important to me that you two get along.

How would you like to go jet‐skiing on the Mediterranean? Oh!

I've got a guy with a helicopter who owes me a favor. I call him Chopper Chuck.

Oooh. (both laughing)

Frank, Oscar is doing my head in.

Don't you think he should just relax and be himself?

I think, if one more person interrupts me,

I'm literally going into the Bureau and surrendering myself.

Get off.

Thank you. (sighs)

So what do you say? You, me, helicopter makes three. (Bree giggles)

Okay, barf. Who even is this guy, Bree?

He's my Oscar‐roo. (scoffs)

Well, he calls himself Alister Jim Smith, so how should I know?

Alistair!

Come on, Bree. Our helicopter is waiting to take us back to school.

You go ahead. I'm gonna stay here a little longer.

(scoffs) Fine!

How could she be so reckless with my timepiece? (scoffs)

(laughs) Are you really? (indistinct chattering)

Found him. He's at Café de L'Amour. Hurry.

As you can clearly see, I am old enough and responsible enough to billet at the school.

Lena will be my mentor, Simon will be there.

I have a second‐hand tutu store on speed dial and a tutor and...

(phone ringing)

Oh, here's Lena now to tell you how good of an idea this is. Hey, sis.

What did you do with my timepiece? I told you not to touch it.

(Romy grunts) (whirring)

Sorry, I... I hit it by accident.

I would have called you, but I didn't think it did anything.

Fine. But this cannot happen again.

You don't know what you're dealing with. It's dangerous.

I swear I will never touch it again.

After this one last time.

(electronic buzzing)

Now... where was I? Uhm...

I'm just glad you decided to come and see me. Me too.

Oh good, you're here. Jeff's just around the corner.

Operation Make Armando Stay is on in 10, 9...

It's weird. Why is Armando at an interview in a romantic restaurant?

(Armando) Yeah, let's get tickets for later in the month.

Absolutely... I'd love that.

(Armando) It's terrific. OMG.

He's on a date.

Armando is on a date.

(whispers) No. Jeff.

Jeff. Jeff, stop it.

(instrumental music starts) Jeff, no, stop. Jeff.

(Ines) Jeff!

(Lena gasps)

Lena? What are you doing? (Ines laughs)

(all laughing awkwardly)

First positions, everyone.

(music stops)

(applause) (Armando clears his throat)

Very nice.

Very nice. But uhm... why?

Is this about the rankings? You know you can't all be number one, right?

Well... (nervous chuckle) we... We thought you were being poached. By her.

But I think we were wrong.

Well, this is none of your business,

but since you can't keep your noses where they belong...

Everyone, I'd like you to meet Kathleen. My girlfriend.

(gasping)

Hi.

Oh, then... you are leaving.

You're going to New York. But that's okay because... because it's for love. (giggles)

Aw. (Ines laughs)

Uh no. Actually, Kathleen is moving to Paris.

(all at once) Aw!

Welcome to the family. (giggles) (Jeff laughs)

(Armando clears his throat) Uhm... Uhm, yeah.

We'll just go, yeah. Yeah.

(laughs) (Armando) Bye‐bye.

Thank you.

Please let me audition for the Paris Opera Ballet school. Romy, I'm sorry...

But what? I'm too young? Or is it too expensive? Or is it my grades?

Or is it because I always lose my tutus? Just give me a straight answer, Dad.

Why don't you trust me? Wow. You... You've really thought this through.

Hm... And it's not that I don't trust you.

(sighs) It's... (sighs)

I already missed out on raising one daughter. I can't miss out on you, too.

I love you too, Dad.

Hey, chin up.

You're in a great school back home and we can discuss this again when you're older.

Well, can I at least spend some time with Lena?

She said I could sleep over for a few days and go to class with her.

I just really want this experience.

And to get to know my sister.

Okay. But just for a day or two. (squeals) Thank you, thank you, thank you!

You were right. He's totally changed.

He's all slick. All... ick.

(sobs)

Hello, Paris Opera Ballet School.

I'm Romy and I'm gonna dance your socks off.

(Lena laughs) Wow, nice moves.

Looking good. You can take Thea's old bed.

(gasps) Oh man. (giggles) I am so excited to be here I can't even believe it.

(all laughing) Yeah, we can tell.

What, so you managed to convince Dad all on your own? Yep.

He had some reservations, but in the end he understood how important it is to me.

And now I'm officially a billet of the Paris Opera Ballet School.

(laughs) See, I told you the sister clause would work.

(nervous chuckle)
