My name is Lena Grisky and I go to the best ballet school in the world.

I have a secret.

I'm a time traveler from 1905

and my boyfriend Henri is doing everything he can to get me home.

(Frank) Previously... Armando revealed the test rankings.

(Lena) It's a blip. What if it's not?

(Lena) Claudine is first girl?

Please let me audition for the Paris Opera Ballet School. No.

Romy went behind Lena's back and used her timepiece to try to convince her dad.

Can I at least spend some time with Lena? Okay, but just for a day or two.

Ines was accepted at the Paris Science Academy.

Pointes or a microscope? Pointes.

But decided to follow her passion for dance.

Thank you, Jeff! And Nico shared some big news with Lena.

But I feel something, something for you.

♪ Like a shed of skin for a new beginning ♪

Hey, you're in my spot. (laughs)

I ranked fifth and I couldn't sleep, so I thought I'd try it your way.

Is it working?

(sighs)

How did this happen?

No matter what school or auditions or the Bureau throw at us,

our friendship is the most important thing. (chuckles)

So we're gonna help each other, no matter what.

And if bumping Claudine out of a company spot happens, then so be it.

(both laughing)

Thanks. I needed that. It's just been so stressful recently.

We can do this, right? Of course we can.

Those two spots are ours. One and two.

I can't think of a world without you in it, Lena Grisky. (laughs)

And you don't have to. Because we're getting those two spots

and we're gonna take the Bureau down. Okay.

(phone alarm buzzes)

Let's go.

♪ Who knows if we'll ever meet again ♪

(piano music plays)

Are we gonna talk about the rankings or not?

(sighs) Uh, for the sake of our relationship, I say we're not.

Oh, ladies and gents! Ladles and jellyspoons! (laughs)

I have some news and it's sunny outside. (all laughing)

(whispers) That was a lame broadcast.

Well, lame or not, Mr. Chase, the fact is, I have some news

and it is, in fact, sunny outside, so...

Let's give it some oomph in that broadcast. Come on, give it some legs.

Yeah, I'll work on it. Okay, you and you, over there.

You, you and you... and you two... (whistles)

Okay. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. Seven!

There are seven spots available in company. That is what it looks like.

Which means... some of you aren't gonna make it.

Two groups. One makes company.

That's half the class. What kind of pep talk is this, sir?

A realistic one. So, let's take a look at who you are outside of ballet, shall we?

What other skills do you have? I don't like where this is going.

(Jeff reads) 'Do you like working alone or are you a people person?

Do you take directions? No, yes, sometimes.' What does this have to do with making company?

This is an aptitude test.

You'll get a list of careers that best suit your personality and skill set.

But, sir, we're dancers.

That you are. But let's just take one day to see who and what else you may be.

Because the fact is, not all of you are gonna make it.

(Romy laughs)

Attention! Welcome to the Paris Opera Ballet School.

We are Bree and Kennedy and we will be your tour guides for the next few days.

Now, let's get right down to the important stuff. Okay. Ready?

We have the best wifi on the planet.

And we get like, every reality TV show there is.

Yeah, it's so super cool. You can watch Biker Bakers and then Chic Eye for the Sad Guy.

Oh, I love that one. I love it. (giggles)

Are they being serious? They're kind of funny. (laughs)

(sighs) Dude, don't disappoint me.

(blows whistle) Keep up! (snaps fingers) Lots to see.

(Romy sighs in disbelief) (Bree snaps her fingers)

Wait, what? I got detective.

Where did that come from? This doesn't make any sense. Are these tests even legit?

Hm. I got newscaster or sportscaster. Which is actually kind of awesome.

I got... astrophysicist. Oh, cool. See, that actually makes sense.

Except I've committed to dance. What if this means I've made the wrong choice?

(sighs) Well, whatever. I got accountant. (chuckles)

I mean, come on, I don't even like maths. Wait, you actually got dancer?

I think you're the only one of us that actually got dancer.

Maybe it's a mistake. Yeah, I doubt that.

I don't. Ours probably got mixed up.

So now what? Do I enroll in detective school? (all chuckle)

(mimics thinking sounds)

Hey. Ooh, how's it going?

I don't think this is working because... What is the point?

I like mine, but I don't think...

Whoa, whoa! I was just being polite.

Okay, we're three weeks away from final exams, four weeks away from company auditions.

This is the real deal, my young superstars.

Exactly, so why are we doing this?

So, tomorrow you'll do a short presentation in class on the careers you were matched with.

(groans)

What kind of presentation exactly?

It's up to you, but it will count towards your final grade.

But I can't picture doing any other job, sir. None of us do, sir.

Except Nico, who actually got dancer.

Really? (chuckles)

That's good. That doesn't get you out of the assignment, though.

These aptitude tests don't work. He got dancer and I got accountant? I mean... Come on.

Be creative.

(mimics) Be creative.

We're like, master smoothie makers

and we've come up with some tricks to make them extra fast.

Thanks.

We learned the hard way that if Thea's smoothie wasn't delivered

within seconds of the finger snap, things would get super ugly.

So, every night we prepare pre‐blended ingredients

and always carry this handy‐dandy shaker. We call it The Smooth‐a‐shaker.

(whispers) You know... I do have Lena's timepiece.

(whispers) What? You have to give it back. You don't know how it works.

(gasps) You can be such a bummer sometimes, do you know that?

(whistle blowing)

(sighs)

Okay. Bring it in. Very important details you all need to know.

Finally. Something useful. Mia Parker was dating Pierre Peters,

but then he started dating Peyton JW. It was a whole thing.

Oh, come on... (sighs) (girls giggling)

(metallic screech)

(Lena) Hang on, Ines. I just need to check in with Romy.

(beep) (indistinct chattering)

Hey, how's it going? Super duper. (laughs)

I need my timepiece back. I told you not to use it. It's too dangerous.

Use it? (scoffs) As if. Totally didn't.

Are you sure about that? You betcha. (laughs nervously)

I need it back, hand it over.

Well, uhm... I don't have it here. Obviously.

It's at the hotel. Totally hidden and unused.

(Bree) Yeah, but not till after. Don't worry.

Are you okay? Yeah, he's fine. (chuckles)

He just gets really overwhelmed by stuff. It's best not to talk to him when he's like this.

Just get me back the timepiece, asap. (chuckles and sighs with relief)

(electronic whirring)

What did you just do? (scoffs) What are you talking about, bro?

(whistle blowing)

(sighs) I'm so jealous. I can't believe you actually got dancer.

I mean, how am I supposed to do a presentation on being a detective?

Just walk around and interrogate people? What were you doing on the night of March 12th?

Did you make this smoothie or did you steal it? It's totally lame and unfair.

No one's more surprised than me. In a good way? It's hard to tell with you sometimes.

Maybe you should be a detective.

Look, I'm not really a dancer. I downloaded it.

And this test? It's totally fake.

I just... (sighs)

(sighs) I just don't know where I fit in anymore.

Hey, I totally get that. (chuckles) Talk about not fitting in.

You should have seen me when I first got here.

You know, you really get me.

Sometimes I think you're the only person in the world that does.

Are we gonna talk about what I said the other night before our pairs piece?

(nervous sigh) I... I don't know what to say.

Lena, I know you're with Henri and I know how much you care about him.

Yeah, I am. And I do. Lena, look...

No, I have to go. (Jeff) Ladies and gents,

this assignment has sucked the joy out of one of my favorite things.

That's right. The news broadcast. Thanks, Armando.

Oh, look, what do we have here? It's Isaac P, the super accountant.

It has come to my attention that Isaac P, the man who can leap like a gazelle,

can also do your parents' taxes. (laughs)

And if it means anything, I think you'd be the worst accountant in the world.

(laughs)

It doesn't mean anything. It means everything.

I can't believe I chose dance over the Paris Science Academy and then I got astrophysicist.

That's it! I've just got the whole point of this assignment! Come on, I'll show you!

Today you will dance with actual Paris Opera Ballet School students.

Here's a map to help you get to the studio.

We've been dancing with Paris Opera Ballet School dancers for like, months, so whatever.

Don't flex. It's not a good look. Busted. (laughs)

(metallic screech)

(Kennedy) Okay, guys, it's time to dance. This is like, a totally big deal.

Like, huge.

(all laughing)

Oh, that's so fun. I love it. (laughs) Thanks, Bree. You too.

(all laughing)

You need to take this seriously. Like, super seriously.

You're here to audition for the school and it is like, an honor

to dance with the class as part of your training before the big day.

Totally. Yeah. Got it.

Sir, may I present to you Ines. The astrophysicist.

(Flower Duet by Léo Delibes plays)

(applause and cheering)

That was beautiful, beautiful.

But it was a dance. (clicks) That wasn't the assignment, was it?

Uh, ladies and gents, guys and dolls, hermanas y hermanitos,

clearly Mr. Castillo did not expect to see Ines light up the stars here today,

but I'm gonna stop him right there and ask him to let us finish what we started, okay?

Fair enough.

(Jeff) Isaac, the accountant.

(busy electronic music plays)

(applause and cheering)

(Armando) Very nice, Isaac. Jeffrey, you're next.

(Lena) Jeff, the newscaster.

(cheerful instrumental music)

Aw.

(applause and cheering)

Yeah, Jeff!

(Jeff) And finally, Nico and Lena, the detective and the dancer.

(gloomy instrumental music)

I told you. You're a dancer.

(applause and cheering)

I... don't get it. What was the point of this assignment?

The point, Mr. Chase, is that you're all dancers.

I wanted to see if you thought you could do anything else and you couldn't.

The only thing you could do, was dance. So, well done.

Well done. You see? I was dead serious when I said for the coming weeks,

you'll do nothing but eat, sleep and breathe ballet to prepare for the next step in your lives

and I wanted to weed out the weak. The accountants. (laughing)

The detectives. And ignite the passionate dancers.

So the results were just totally rigged?

Uh, yeah. I may have wanted to push a few buttons, but the bottom line is...

(Ines) Consider buttons pushed. You're ready.

So get some rest. If you think the training you've done up until now has been tough,

trust me, you haven't seen anything yet. But hey...

That was some of your best work. Well done, all of you. Okay, you're dismissed.

Bring it in, bring it in. We did it!

(all) Yeah.

(Lena) I think we're right on track. (Jeff) It was a great idea, L.

(Isaac) It was actually really fun.

Oh, wait, wait, wait. One more thing.

Now, I may not say this enough, but uhm...

I'm really proud of you.

Well, go on then.

Go on, go on, go on! I do have a life, you know. (laughs)

Hey, that was really great.

(giggling) (both) You were amazing! We are so making company!

Oh.

Man, I hope you're right. Yeah.

(sighs with relief)

Okay, what's going on there? Spill.

Nico told me he has feelings for me. Like, real feelings.

Well, yeah... That's obvious.

What do you mean, it's obvious? Lena, it's just obvious.

But I don't care how Nico feels about you. I care how you feel about Nico.

And more importantly, how you feel about Henri.

I'll admit, in the beginning I did have feelings for Nico.

But that was before I remembered Henri. And then I got my memories back and...

well, we found out who Nico really was... and it changed.

And now?

Well, Nico is sweet. And we really do connect when we're dancing.

And maybe if things were different, then something could happen.

But Henri and I are finally together in the same place and time, I'm not letting him go.

Good. That's what I wanted to hear.

(laughs)

Come on.

(piano music plays)

(Bree) Remember to straighten your back. Focus on the choreo. Oh, dear...

Right, okay. No, remember to point your feet. What...

Don't stop! What are you doing? Keep going, okay. Right.

(Bree) Okay, right. (irritated sigh) No, no.

Terrible. (Ms. Carré) Miss Jensen.

(Bree giggles nervously)

I see you've been hard at work. Now it's time to see what you've been working on.

Show me some choreography. Yes, Ms. Carré.

(piano music resumes)

(sighs) I'm sorry... I...

(metallic whirring)

Let's learn the dance then. (whirring, whooshing)

♪ But I know that I was wrong ♪

♪ I'm still in love with you though you're gone ♪

♪ Because I can be fine someday ♪

(Claudine) Aargh! Henri, I'm so sick of hearing your mopey love ballads. So I wrote you a song.

This is really good. Oh, I know.

Can you put it to music? Definitely.

How did you do this? It's no big deal.

I write poetry. I'm going to write a book someday.

It would have been impossible in 1905, but now I can do anything.

I'm having some friends come by tonight for a kind of open mic thing.

You should come. For sure. I'll be there.

Cool.

(piano music plays)

Good.

I look forward to seeing you at the audition in a few weeks. Thank you, Ms. Carré.

Good, good, but you can do better.

What are you up to? You never nail new choreo. You always take ages to learn it.

And then you're totally awesome, but I'm just saying... what did you do?

Nothing. I'm just in the zone.

(metallic whirring)

Oh, don't mind him, Ms. Carré.

Oh, call you Gabrielle? (laughs) Why certainly.

What? You want me to be an étoile now?

(blows) Well, I mean, I'd be the first fourteen‐year‐old étoile in history,

but if you insist. (laughs)

(Romy) Auditions in a few weeks. I wonder... Let's see what the future holds.

(electric hissing)

(Romy reads) 'Announcement. Paris Opera Ballet School.

Failed. (gasps) Romy Jensen.'

I didn't get into the school.

(beep) (whooshing)

(Bree) Oh! OMG, a 'good' from Gabrielle is like, super high praise.

Yeah, she basically just threw rainbows and unicorns at you. (giggles)

Can you push send for me? I've been sitting here for like an hour,

but I just can't bring myself to do it.

(reads) 'I'd like to decline your offer of acceptance.'

You're turning down the Paris Science Academy? Are you sure?

Yeah.

(presses a button) (sharp exhale)

Are you happy? Yeah, I am actually. I feel... lighter.

Okay, good. Because I was totally bluffing. What?

You're the only one that can press send. (laughs)

Fine.

(message sent noise) (laughs)

I'm keeping the sweatshirt, though. (laughs)

Okay, from now on, the only thing that matters, is company, okay?

Deal.

Pow!

Hey.

You don't look so good. What's wrong?

Something happened.

(sobs) Yes. Okay? I used the timepiece.

I told you not to mess with...

Sorry.

Okay, tell me.

(sobs) I went forward in time and... and I saw something.

I didn't get into the Paris Opera Ballet School.

But we can still change that, right?

Yeah.
