- Lyndsey?

Lyndsey?

No!

- Oh!

- Hi! Yes, I'm calling to see

if the waitress job is still available?

Oh, okay. Yeah, no worries. Thanks anyways.

T-Take care.

- Wow.

You are working too hard.

- Ha. Did you catch any of my routine?

- Beautiful as always.

- Thanks, Mama.

And nonsense. Dr. Keller says a neurotropenic diet

is essential to a proper recovery.

This is going to be the tastiest,

cleanest cancer-be-gone casserole ever, ever.

- I see that.

- So I am not sure about this one.

- Can I help? - Mm-mm! No, no. You rest.

I can do this.

Uh... I got it.

Eight national champions, six all elites.

Have you ever trained somebody that was not a champion?

- Absolutely not.

- Oh, of course not. It was just a... just a joke.

I mean, you're a legend.

- Well, I wouldn't be sitting here if I didn't think

you had the potential to become a legend yourself.

The skating federation has a scholarship

opening at my rink, Iceoplex.

- Oh, that's where regionals were last year, right?

- Yes, I scouted your performance at that competition.

- You did?

- Your performance

was nothing short of exceptional.

- Thank you. - With my current student

Lyndsey sidelined due to a back injury this season,

this scholarship opening is available immediately.

I'd like you to accept it.

- Wow. I have to be honest, I...

really thought I was off of everyone's radar.

- No, you could not be more wrong.

However, time is of the essence.

With nationals less than six months away,

you would have to begin training immediately.

As you yourself stated,

I do not settle for anything less than a champion.

- Of course.

I am...

beyond grateful for this opportunity, but...

Um, Ms. Taylor, uh,

Megan took just a small amount of time off

to help me with my recovery, but I'm at the end

of my chemotherapy now and...

she is more than ready for this opportunity.

- Did you smell something burning?

- I... can't say that I do.

- I... I think I may have left...

I have left something on in the oven.

Um, I'm gonna go check. Can you help me?

Our oven has a mind of its own sometimes.

- Be right back. Just help yourself.

- Thank you.

Megan, this is an incredible opportunity.

- I can't just... leave you, Mom. That's not possible.

- You're not abandoning me.

I am so much stronger now.

Now it's your turn to fly, right?

- I don't... I don't...

I don't think I'm really ready for this.

- You are.

Do you think maybe it's a little bit

of your perfectionism holding you back

from taking this opportunity?

Let me ask you something. Has my recovery been perfect?

- No. But you have made extraordinary progress.

- Yeah.

You're gonna go out there, and you're gonna fly.

Go!

Sorry about that.

Let's get that title.

Oh, my gosh!

- Need some help? - Uh, yeah, thank you.

I can't find my keys. - These affirmations are great.

- Oh, thank you. I like to...

uh, stick them on my mirror, actually.

- Yeah. That's brilliant.

I'm Trevor. - I'll take these. I am Megan.

- Megan.

- Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.

I gotta... I gotta run. Literally.

- Well, enjoy your run. Literally.

- Alright.

- Run, run fast!

Bye!

Oh my gosh... Oh, okay.

- Impressions? - Uh, yeah, not bad.

Footwork was a little sloppy.

Could have a little more finesse.

- Here. - Oh!

- For you. Every success,

every failure, I want you to log in here.

And I don't expect just a report of the elements completed.

I want evaluation of their quality. Yes?

- Mm-hmm. - Here's your schedule.

Pilates, ballet, weight training,

mental conditioning. No exceptions.

- Okay. This is great. I'm actually...

I'm really old school, I love stuff

that's pen and paper like this. And the colors.

- In a few weeks, you will have a private exhibition.

You will perform as if you were skating at the nationals,

under the watchful eyes of a select panel of judges.

This is your litmus test.

It will gauge how you might perform

on the day that truly counts.

- Okay, that sounds great.

I'm not gonna let you down.

- Was there any possibility that you would?

- No way! - No way! I've gotta go.

- Alright, Coach. I'm so thankful

for this opportunity, really.

- Hey. You've earned your place. Don't forget that.

- Thanks.

Okay...

- That worked. - Uh... okay?

- Well, it got your attention, right?

- Alright. - That was on purpose.

I actually have great hands.

What?

- I'm Max. - Megan.

- Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.

- You're actually a great skater.

- Thank you. - Yeah, no, seriously.

You skate with this... freedom.

It's captivating, really.

- Uh, well, I have always considered the ice

to be my natural habitat.

It shows.

- Uh, actually, maybe you can help me with something.

- Mm-hmm? - I'm in need

of a skate sharpening,

and my coach said there's a good in-house guy?

- Oh yeah, Blades. Yeah, he's my man.

He is good for everything cool around here. Just like me.

He's over there in the pro-shop.

- Great. It was so nice to meet you.

- And you. See you around.

- Hello? Hi!

- Ah! Hello, there.

- Hi. I'm new here. Megan Ryder.

Oh.

- Blades. Pleasure to meet you, Ms. Ryder.

- Nice to meet you.

Okay, I'm gonna show you what I got here.

- Well, let's have a look at those edges.

Okay, this is one.

- Cross grinding on the toe pick and... hallow at three eights.

- Yeah, that's... that's usually what I get. That's great.

- Look what came in! - Carly!

- Oh, wow... wow! - Hi, by the way.

- This is my new friend, Megan Ryder.

- Carly Johnson, nice to meet you.

I'm more of a hugger. - Oh, cool.

Ah! Ah...

I was not ready for that.

- Oh, these are... these are not cute, anyways.

Not you, it's me. I'm sorry,

it's just, I'm a huge perfectionist, so...

it was just the angle. - Oh, yeah, no,

I can totally relate to that.

What is this? - Oh! Yeah.

- Wow.

- I already signed it. - You look fabulous.

- Oh, stop!

Don't you think Trevor looks so tense?

I keep telling him to loosen up.

Tense is not on brand!

- Is... Ah! - Oh...

- Is that the same...? - Yeah, no, that's my, um...

my old ice dance partner, Brian.

We recently parted ways. Different paths and all that.

- Oh.

- That jerk.

You're too gracious about it, Carly.

He left her high and dry for some European partner.

Off in some other country training now.

- It was amicable. Honestly, it's so much more fun

getting to skate with my brother now.

- This one is a class act here.

- Aw.

Hey, are you... are you busy?

Do you wanna go grab lunch and celebrate your arrival?

- I would... I would love that. Let's... let's do it.

- Yay! Okay. - Yeah!

- I hope you like it.

- I'll have it up before you get back!

Your skates will be ready then too.

- Thank you. So, where are we going?

- Okay, let's go. This is my favourite spot.

- Oh. This is awesome. - Right?

- Oh. Is this a... a triple lutz shake?

That sounds so yummy! Is it any good?

- Oh, my gosh, yes, it's one of my faves.

Brian and I used to come here three times a day.

We'd uh, sit here, actually.

- Yeah, I'm sorry about that.

I mean, I don't really have a lot of details on it,

but he sounds like a piece of work.

- Oh, no, no, no. It's all good. I mean,

it was strictly professional. We just... we just

had different training styles, and after three years,

it just wasn't a good fit anymore.

- Three years is still a long time.

- Yeah. It is.

I mean, we were close at one time, but...

you know. People change.

- I'll be... I'll be right back.

- Okay.

- Hey.

Lyndsey, right?

I thought I saw you watching my practice earlier.

I'm Megan Ryder. - I know who you are.

- Oh, that's great.

- And I know you better watch your back.

I mean, nice to meet you too, of course.

- Okay, yikes.

- Oh, don't...

don't let Lyndsey get to you, okay? She's... complicated.

- I get it, though. I'd be a little mad too.

I mean, these scholarships are competitive,

and I did kinda of... come in out of nowhere.

- Hey, there is nothing wrong with taking advantage

of an opportunity, okay?

And look...

I don't like talking bad about people...

- What? You can tell me, I won't say anything.

- Okay, she was in this super volatile on-and-off-again

romantic relationship with Brian.

- Oh... - Yeah. And let's just say

she added her fair share of drama to the mix.

And she's bitter at me because Brian left,

but really I think her antics had a lot to do

with his decision to go.

- Wow.

That must've put a big strain

on your and Brian's skating partnership.

I know you said it was amicable. Do you guys ever still talk?

- He completely ghosted me. Radio silence.

You ready?

- What?

Keep up, Ryder.

We're ready to order!

- Oh, right.

Triple lutz shake time.

- Two of those. - Oh my, they look so good.

- I told you to watch your back.

- Ah, sleep!

Sleep is good, kid.

You might not be getting enough if you're dozing off in my shop.

- No, um... I'm... I'm fine.

- Well, here they are.

Bright and beautiful just like their owner.

Aww.

Wow, these are so shiny I might need sunglasses.

What do I owe you?

- These ones are on the house.

- Thank you. - My pleasure.

- I'm gonna test these out.

See if they, uh...

skate as good as they look.

Thank again. - You're welcome.

- Megan!

Impressive work.

- I had no idea you were... - I always have an eye out.

- Yeah, well I'm really glad you're here.

That new arm technique on my take-off,

it's... it's really working on the triple toe.

I'd love to... I'd love to go for the quad.

- Of course. - Great.

Okay.

- There's something I want to address.

There is a policy I maintain with all my students.

No dating.

- Uh... Yeah, that's fine. I... I don't have a boyfriend.

- Good.

- I'm all about this. I'm all in.

- Excellent.

Now, let's do that quad toe again.

- Right.

- Hey, pretty girl.

- Hey, Max. - Hey!

- Thank you for the recommendation.

Blades did a great job. - Well, I'm glad it worked out.

- Have a good practice. - Well, hold on.

I didn't get to ask you for your number yet.

- Max! - Hey!

- You know Megan? - Yes, I just met her today.

- Hmm... yeah. Max introduced me to Blades.

- That's so nice.

- You guys doing a double today?

- Well, I wouldn't have to if we had you on the team.

We miss you, bro.

- Max and I used to be teammates.

- Oh.

- Yeah. Anyway, I'll catch you later, yeah?

- Yeah. - Alright, cheers.

And I'll keep trying for that number, you.

Can't skate too far. - Oh.

- I should get my skates son. It was nice seeing you.

- You too. - Yeah.

- Do you mind just helping me out with something really quick?

- Oh, uh, sure... - Just...

- Okay... Ready?

- Hey, guys! First dry run of the day complete.

I can't wait to use my Cheetah Balm

for my aching shoulder post-practice.

Use my code Carly30 for 30% off your next purchase.

- That's a lot of percent off.

Uh, I'm gonna be late for ballet.

- Okay. I'll see in five. - Okay.

- It's Max, correct?

- Yeah. Hey, Coach T. How can I help you?

Do you need some help converting your figure skaters

into real athletes? - Not quite.

She's really quite charming, isn't she?

Megan Ryder. - Oh. Yeah, absolutely.

She's stunning. She's one of your proteges, right?

- Indeed, she is.

And I would appreciate it if you respected

my athlete's boundaries.

What?

- Sorry, is there something amusing?

- What is she, your pet?

- I would recommend treading carefully.

- If you'll excuse me.

- You're in my spot!

- Hi. - My spot.

- Okay.

Looks, Lyndsey. I would like for us to have

a clear understanding of each other.

- There's nothing to understand.

- Okay, well I think there might be.

I don't see any reason why you and I can't both train

under Coach and support each other.

I mean, this sport can be very isolating,

and in a way skaters, we're... we're kind of family.

- Family? Quite the hypocrite, aren't you?

- What are you implying?

- Megan Ryder. Self-proclaimed family girl.

Didn't you abandon your sick mother to be here?

- Okay Lyndsey, I really think you're crossing a line there.

- I think it's pretty distasteful

exploiting your mother's illness for pity points.

I'm sure it will play nicely with the judges, though.

- I can assure you I am not doing that.

I am legitimately sorry if you're threatened by me being...

- Let me be clear. I am not threatened by you.

I'm recovering quickly.

And soon, everything will return to the way that it was,

with me in control.

And you'll go back to your dinky little rink.

- Carly!

What happened? - I don't know, I just...

I tried to put my pointe shoe on and there were something

sharp in there. - What?

It's glass! - What?

Why would some... who put... Why would somebody do this?

Lyndsey?

- When I finish this last round of chemotherapy, I

get my very own fighter's belt.

- The belt ceremony is on the... 27th, right?

- Yeah. - I wish I could make that.

- You're gonna see it soon enough.

Okay, enough about me.

Tell me everything that's happening

at the arena with your training. I want to know it all.

- It's... it's been a little... A little tough.

- Sorry, sweetheart.

Say that one more time, I just missed that.

- Yeah, no, it's been a little challenging,

but it's... it's the dream, Mom.

Thank you again for believing in me

and for pushing me to do this.

- Always.

You know, I've sort of, um...

just hit a little bit of a wall. I think I'm gonna go to bed

for the night. But I'll talk to you tomorrow?

- Yeah. I love you so much.

- I love you too. Bye.

- Goodnight, Mama.

- Hey.

What are you doing?

- Max! - Megan.

- What... what happened?

Are you okay?

- Yeah. Uh, can you move?

- Can I...? Uh, yeah.

Oh...

Ah, jeez! I'm so sorry.

I'm a little out of it.

I'm just so... Well, I'm a little tired.

- Is everything alright? - Yes. Yes.

I think I just need to go out and defrost

before my next session. Get some sunshine.

- Sunhine's good.

- Yeah.

Well, I'll be back in a bit.

- Okay.

- You got this, girl.

Okay.

- Megan!

Did you lose something?

- Ah...

Thank you so much.

- Of course.

- Uh...

My mom has been battling cancer, and...

Well, that's why I'm... I'm just a little tired.

- You'll get through this.

Thank you.

- Hey, friends! - Hi!

- Oh, hi. How's the foot?

- Oh, I'm doing a lot better, thank you so much for asking.

The doc says I was really lucky.

The damage was minimal and they were able

to pull the glass out, so... - Oh, that's such a relief.

- Sweetest thing, though.

Look at all of these get well messages.

- Aw, that is sweet. - I know.

And I can't believe it, but I got three DMs

from new sponsors in the last hour.

- Congratulations!

Excuse me.

- Uh, sponsors?

- Yeah. Oh my gosh, I can't even

remember the last time I paid for training expenses.

- Wow. I almost never even check my social media.

I had no idea there was that kind of potential there.

- Oh, yeah. I...

I can help revamp your account for you if you want.

- Yeah. That would be... that would be amazing.

- Yeah, let's see.

- Uh...

- Okay.

Ah. So right away, your last post is a few months old.

The most important thing is to stay consistent

with your audience. Basically, if I'm not

actively training, I'm here.

- That's a really serious commitment.

- Yeah, for real. It's worth it, though.

Okay, let's go over monetizing your account.

- Okay, yeah, that'll be great. - We'll start there.

- Check the frame... Oh, Megan.

- Sorry to scare you. - Trevor.

What...

Casual Friday? What is this?

- Actually, it's Thursday.

Indeed. Yeah.

- Uh, Blades gave me an extra copy of his key,

so sometimes I come in at off hours to skate.

Like hockey skate, skate.

- Oh, yeah. Well, that makes sense

why a delinquent such as myself

was able to get in here extra early.

I didn't realize this was your slot. I'll head out.

- No, no. It's all good. It's all good.

Um, my time's almost up, but... what are you working on?

- Oh, this.

I'm trying to build a library of better social media content,

trying to get a sponsor.

- Wow.

I'm not very good at it,

and... to be honest,

I just want to focus on skating and real skating,

you know, training, but...

Must be done.

- Do you want some help? I can help you film some of the stuff.

- Uh, y-yeah, that would be great.

- Yeah? Cool. Let's do it. - Oh, gloves are coming off!

- Oh, yeah.

- Woo! - Alright.

- Okay. You think you can keep up?

- I'll try my best. - Okay.

- Here we go.

Oh.

Whoa! - Haha!

- Wow.

That's cool.

- Right? - Yeah.

- What?

"From the sharpest guy in town."

Haha. Blades!

- Strech out, don't truncate the line.

Take your time on the footwork. Not a single flat edge

on the turn.

Good.

I secured the first slot of the exhibition for you.

- Okay. - Judges will be sharp.

Attentive. Be here, geared up,

Wednesday morning, 4:30 AM.

You perform at 5:30 AM sharp.

- I won't let you down.

- I believe in you.

- It is much more sparkly in person.

- Mom, that looks amazing! That is so cool!

Wow.

Uh... Sorry about that, Mom... Mama.

Uh, I gotta finish up some training rewrites,

but I love you.

- Okay, yeah. Bye! Bye-bye!

Bye.

- Feeling alright?

I'm Detective James Baker.

Mind telling me what happened?

- I think... I think I was attacked.

- Can you give us a description of your attacker?

- They were behind me. They had a...

a hockey glove over my mouth.

- We found this close by.

Can you tell me what that smell is?

- Yeah, it's a... it's a special chemical

we use to help with the ice.

- Where do you keep this chemical?

- I keep it in the resurfacing room,

but I'm the only one who has access.

All the chemicals we use for the ice are kept in here.

Uh, just go over this way.

This is the one I think was on the glove.

- Get forensics in here.

Alright, I'll wrap up here, then I'll meet you

back at the station.

- Hey, just breathe, okay? Okay.

- We'll need to collect statements

from everybody who knew Brian.

- Blades?

This is so twisted.

- Well, he is the one who cleans the ice.

- How does that explain the intruder

that broke it into Blades' shop, though?

- We're still investigating that.

But it could be a cover story that Blades concocted

to divert suspicion.

- Uh...

Blades was... is... protective of me.

- What makes you say that? - Well, he was really upset

when Brian left me for another partner.

He was...

overly concerned, I guess.

He's really invested in my life,

and, I mean, I don't want to...

I don't want to say

he was obsessed, but... he's always

the very first person to view

every single one of my stories.

- Okay, so you think he may have murdered the victim

out of some sense of heroism to you?

- The CharityCloud account...

- What was that?

- There's no way that Blades is a killer.

My mom has cancer,

and Blades actually set up a CharityCloud

account to raise money for her treatments and my training.

I-I just... I don't see

how someone could be that kind and supportive,

and also have such ill intent.

- Well, at the same time,

it fits with the pattern of obsessive behaviour.

You may have had a very close call.

We've got to gather some further questions,

but at the same time, if anything else comes to mind,

please, just give me a call.

- Yeah.

- I have to take this. - Okay.

- Hi. - This is...

- Now, I'm gonna make sure this doesn't interfere

with our exhibition. Yeah? Are you good?

If you are not good,

you need to see Dr. Carter, the sports psychologist, ASAP.

But you're good. Yes?

- I'm good. - You are good.

- Yeah, I'm good.

- I... I really can't...

I can't even believe this right now.

I'm sorry guys. Brian, he was just like...

- Enough!

- Okay, well, um...

That was weird. Uh, sorry guys.

- Come on Lyndsey, get it together.

Good.

Okay.

Okay.

I can't express how grateful

I feel that you believe me.

- Are you sure that you don't

remember anything else about what happened?

- It was a...

a woman's voice.

- A...

A woman's voice?

- Yes.

Yes, a woman called the police.

The voice was higher.

Visitor time has expired.

Hi, sweetie! How are you feeling

about the exhibition tomorrow?

- I think I'm prepared. It's just...

Things at the rink have been...

odd lately, to say the least. - Oh?

Well, it's...

Oh. I'm sorry Mom, I have... I gotta take this.

- Okay, yeah, yeah. Um, we'll talk tomorrow.

I love you. - I love you too.

Trevor, hi.

- Hey, Megan?

Carly is...

she's really upset right now.

Um...

Is there any chance you can come over?

She could really use a friend right now.

- Yeah, yeah, I'll be right there.

Thank you.

I mean... that's the thing,

right, I mean, Trevor and I, we lost our parents

when we were so young, so skating has always

been my family, you know?

Blades. Blades was my family.

- Wow, I, uh...

I had no idea that you and Blades were so close.

I can't even... fathom

the thought of going through life without my mom.

- Yeah.

He really was like a father to me.

He even taught me

how to make the ice when I was little.

- Carly.

I'm so sorry.

- And I know...

I know I downplayed my partnership with Brian,

but... the truth is that we were really...

we were really, really close.

And, you know, of course I'm mad that he left me

for another skating partner, but I mean, whatever,

that doesn't even matter anymore, I just...

I can't believe he's dead.

And killed by Blades? I mean...

- We don't... we don't know.

We don't know that Blades did this, okay?

- I feel like I'm gonna be sick.

- I'll get you some...

Some water, or um...

What? - Ugh!

It never ends.

- Okay. I think your...

your fans will respect that you need time for you right now.

- Yeah... No, I wish...

I wish that were the case.

The truth is, I just...

I just feel so lonely.

- Carly.

How is that even possible? Carly, everybody adores you.

You have so many fans that look up to you

that think you are incredible.

You are incredible. - I doubt you get it.

I mean, look at you. Everyone is so drawn to you

in real life. I doubt you've ever felt truly alone.

- Are you kidding me?

I am...

I am heartbreakingly...

I am heartbreakingly homesick right now.

And I...

I'm lonely too.

- Thank you.

I'm so lucky to have a friend like you.

- It's gonna be okay.

- Thank you for that.

- Of course.

I mean, she has really, really been through the wringer.

- You're a good friend.

- And by the looks of it, you're a pretty good brother.

I am curious to know...

Why are you not on the hockey team with Max?

You know... I'm sorry,

that is none of my business. We do not have to go there.

- No, it's... it's pretty straight forward, really.

The National Championship game last year...

Yeah, I was blindsided, trapped in the boards.

The other team's defenceman came and took a cheap shot.

- Hmm. - Big one.

Gave me a concession.

Doc says I can't play hockey again. Too risky.

- I-I can't imagine how difficult

that must be to have this sport you love just...

just taken from you like that.

But that's very brave

just diving into a new sport and skating with Carly?

Doing ice dance? That is... that is so cool.

- Well, I couldn't just let her dream shatter.

But really, thank you for being so kind to her.

I know she can be a lot.

But... she talks about you constantly.

- Well, she's been a great friend to me too.

- So... Exhibition tomorrow?

- I am so nervous.

I am not gonna feel remotely like myself again

until I'm back out on the ice.

Back in my body, you know?

- I do.

- Yeah.

Oh, I'm... I'll get... I'm gonna get going.

- You're really not gonna sleep?

- Not a wink.

- Wanna skate?

I think you're underthinking it. You should try over.

- Haha. Very funny.

You have to overthink it, though.

I mean, you have to be so focused off the top,

because once that routine starts, you only have

a few minutes to prove yourself.

- I get that. Same here.

- Oh really, same here? - Yeah.

- No way. Okay, in hockey, you have like 20 minutes

and a period to prove yourself.

- No, actually, we play in shifts

and we average less than 40 seconds per shift.

With a three minute routine,

you've got a lifetime to show what you got.

- Well... honestly I never... I never thought of it that way.

- Yeah. Don't think. Just skate.

- Okay, philosopher skater man.

- Get behind the boards. - What?

- Do you trust me?

- Okay.

Coming behind the board.

Coming right over.

Oh, don't laugh. I got it, I got it.

Okay, now what? - Perfect.

- There's no place like home? Click, click.

- Great movie, but no.

Jump back over the boards, go straight into your routine.

- What? - Without all the, uh...

What?!

That is not what I do out there!

Mm-hmm.

Close your eyes.

Do I need to get a whistle?

I'm gonna get a whistle. - No! Eyes closed.

- Okay. You heard Coach.

You're in.

- Help me up or something.

I'm in. Go. I'm going.

I'm going. I'm in. I'm in.

Woo!

- Wow. - Oh, gotcha.

That was a rush.

- Uh-huh.

- Well, you heard Coach. Now you're in.

Tada!

Am I doing it right? - Yeah!

Yeah? Yeah?

You're pretty good.

- My puck! - Wow.

- Woo! Alright. - Alright.

- Uh... Ugh!

Uh, ha!

This thing, right?

Just gets away from ya.

Okay.

Let's do this.

Hello?

911, what is your emergency?

- Hi...

- Can I get your location, please?

Hello?

Miss? Are you still there?

Miss, is everything alright?

We have officers on the way.

- I went out to my car, and I saw this person.

It was intentional, they looked at me,

and then they just... they just came at me

and they charged me with this thing.

- See? It's fake. It's just a toy.

- Why would somebody do this?

- Well, looks like it was just a prank.

- No...

No, the way they were coming at me, this person,

they... it felt like they actually wanted to kill me.

Oh!

I have to go.

This is real.

Coach! - Of course.

- Coach! - Uh, of course. I understand.

Again, I am so sorry for having wasted your time.

- You're never gonna believe what happened.

- I know why you were late this morning.

- Okay. It came out of nowhere...

- I've already seen the picture of you and Trevor

kissing online.

- How... - Just stop!

- No, no, no! It's not why I was late this morning!

- Megan, stop. No, you cannot comprehend

the damage you have done.

Needless to say, this does not make you look

like the nation's best.

You are in with Dr. Carter at 9 AM this morning.

I will fix this, and you fix you.

- Lyndsey. Look, I'm so sorry about Brian.

- Sure you are.

- Hey, guys.

I wanna talk about something.

Life is not always perfect.

We have good days

and we have bad days, right?

Well, why is it that our skating journey

is somehow an exception to that?

We are just so...

obsessed with perfection, when really...

really, it should be about progress.

So...

today, I'm going to post my entire practice,

falls and all, completely unedited,

to show you that it's okay...

it's okay not to be perfect.

Hashtag, ride through the storm.

Let's do this.

- I'm so glad you're okay.

That's just terrifying. And weird.

- Yeah. - But the machete was fake?

- Yeah, but even so...

You know what? I don't want to think about it anymore.

- Hey, I've been meaning to ask, how's the...

how's the social media makeover going?

- Oh, right. I wanted to show you this.

I'm super excited.

- Oh, wow. - Right?

I mean, it's a lot of views.

Do you think it's enough to... to get a sponsor?

- Yeah, I mean, that's even...

more than I've gotten in a while.

- You know what? It might just be a fluke.

The algorithm knows I'm new and...

- Yeah, maybe.

- Well, I couldn't do any of it without you, I mean, come on.

- This is amazing. I mean, look at...

look at all of these comments.

"I'm so glad you posted this, Megan. I needed this reminder."

"You are my idol."

"It's so nice to see someone be so real."

"Sometimes it feels like everyone is perfect,

and I get depressed thinking I can never come close."

"Thank you for being vulnerable, Megan. You are my hero."

Girl, this is so inspiring!

- It's all thanks to you!

I mean, really. I'm so grateful.

You know what? We should make a video together next.

They'd love that. - I would love that too, yes!

Let's... that's a great plan. - Okay.

Listen, I...

I didn't want to bring this up, but I...

I did go to visit Blades.

And I really think you should hear him out.

- Honestly, uh...

I'm finally in a positive headspace about that right now,

so I just, um...

I just need to protect that.

- Yeah, yeah. Forget I said anything.

- So, are you excited about press day tomorrow?

- Oh... how is that already here?

- It's my favourite day, and honestly,

I just really need the distraction right now.

Let me give you the 411 on how to prep, okay?

- Okay. - So you're gonna want to wear

something that complements your skin tone on camera.

Personally, I think jewel tones are...

- The energy in the air is palpable,

as these young stars walk the red carpet.

Let's see who we can find.

Megan! Megan Ryder. Over here.

- Hello.

- What is it like being so far from home?

- Oh, um... Well, it's definitely not easy,

that's for sure. - But right now,

the juiciest story here.

- Um...

I don't really feel comfortable

talking about Blades right now. - Who?

- I'm sorry, am I misunderstanding the big story?

- You and Trevor Johnson!

I mean, was it love at first ice or what?

- Love? N-No... I think...

We just have a lot of respect for each other as athletes.

- Oh, could this be any more serendipitous?

Trevor! Trevor Johnson!

Trevor, what a story you have! Such an amazing brother.

- Oh, I know, he's the best. - Well, Carly is the real MVP.

- Of course. We do so love our Johnson twins.

But right now,

we've heard from Megan, and now I want to hear it from you.

Two million likes in 24 hours?

I mean, clearly you guys have some chemistry.

Are you two an item? - Thank you.

Uh, we just love skating,

and I think the passion shows in that.

- Have you ever thought about ice dance, Megan?

Skating with a partner?

- No, no. No. I am very committed to my single's career.

- Just saying. The camera doesn't lie.

Seems very natural for you two.

Oh, cute! Cute!

Get a picture of these two.

- There he is!

- Thanks for coming.

- Of course, man. Anything for you.

Um, listen, I gotta go. Yeah?

- Right...

- Max.

Hey, I... I don't know why you won't talk to me.

Did something happen? Did I do something?

- You're not gonna believe this.

- Try me.

- I'm pretty sure that the coach hired someone

to beat the living crap out of me.

- What? - Yeah.

She gave me a warning to stay away from you,

and I didn't listen, so...

I just hope Trevor watches his back.

- Uh... - It's good to see you.

- Yeah...

- Looks good. Very good.

I'm happy with all these clean run-throughs.

- Good, I'm glad.

Hey, I've been meaning to ask you.

Have the judges forgiven my... misstep yet?

- That's my job. Your job, keep performing

at your peak,

and to stay focused.

Keep bringing your A-game out there. No more missteps.

- Absolutely.

- And Trevor Johnson?

- Yeah, I...

I really think he's actually a great support system for us.

He's not... He's not a distraction.

- No.

- N... No?

- End it.

You have three weeks 'til Nationals.

- It's true... - Pardon me?

- Um... - Huh?

- Did you...

hire someone to beat up Max

because you thought h-he could be a distraction?

- I don't have time for this.

- That's not a no!

- Everything I do

is for the benefit of my students.

- How is physically assaulting someone

for the betterment of me and my skating?

- You have drug testing this afternoon.

And please, just be punctual.

We're done here.

- Look at this video I just posted.

- Mm-hmm. - Look at all the views it got.

- Yes... Understood. - Look at it!

I can't believe it went viral.

That one's cute too.

- Megan!

Can you come here, please?

- Yeah, Coach. What's up?

- You failed your drug test.

- I... I what? - What's happening?

- No, you stay out of this.

- That is not... that is not possible.

I... There's no way. I'm not taking any drugs.

Please, um...

Respectfully, I would like to do an immediate retest.

I'll test... I'll test anywhere, anytime.

Just tell me.

You gotta believe me, Coach.

- You test 5 PM this afternoon.

Outside facility, Northern Heights.

- Thank you.

Uh...

What?

- Hey, that's a long trip.

Do you want company? - Oh, I'm so sorry, Megan,

but Trevor and I really can't skip our practice today.

- That's okay. Um...

I can handle this.

Poor thing.

Boo!

- Oh my God, Trevor. - I'm coming with you.

Trevor.

No. I'm not gonna have you miss your practice with Carly.

- We're not practising until later. It's fine, okay?

She's fine, she's just being dramatic. Please?

- Okay.

I'm so... confused.

I'm sorry, I don't mean to involve you in all of this.

- No problem. We're gonna get this cleared up.

- Ugh! I hated the look on Coach's face.

I mean, it just doesn't make any sense.

I'm literally not on anything.

- I know, I believe you, okay? We're gonna figure this out.

- Can I be honest with you? - Of course.

- I think somebody is setting me up.

I think somebody is doing this to me.

Wait... - What's wrong?

- Something is wrong with my brakes! I can't stop!

Hold on! Hold on! Look out!

- Trevor.

Trevor?

Oh my God.

Trevor, wake up! Trevor!

Trevor!

Trevor!

- Earth to Megan, hello?!

- Sorry.

- He's going to be fine. You are fine.

Can we get through practice without your theatrics?

- Theatrics? - Come on, Megan.

Let's run it again.

- Coach, I...

I really think I need to be done with practice for today.

- Practice is done when I say it is done.

- I'm just asking for a little bit of a breather.

- Rest is for those who lack commitment.

- Okay. I don't think you're getting it.

There is something real happening here.

There is something... there is something going on

that is so much bigger than skating, than Nationals,

th-than... any of this! - I...

- And people are getting hurt, and you don't seem to care!

- Here I thought you had the grit to handle this.

- I do! This is not... This is not about skating.

- Then let's run it again!

- I am not your puppet! Just stop!

Carly! Oh my gosh, I'm so glad I found you.

You haven't been responding to any of my texts.

Is... is Trevor okay?

- He's fine. - Thank goodness.

- He's resting.

- Okay. I was... Actually, I was just gonna go to the hospital.

- It's family only.

- Carly, what is going on?

Why are you so mad at me? What can I do?

- What... what can you do?

Megan I think you've done enough.

- I...

I'm so confused. I don't know why you're mad at me right now.

- How do I know that you weren't high

and that's why you crashed?

- Car... it was... It was my brakes. Somebody...

Somebody... You know this! Somebody is sabotaging me.

I don't... I don't do drugs. I wasn't high.

- How do I know that, Megan?

I mean, honestly, I don't...

I don't even really know you at all.

And ever since you've come here, everything has just...

I think you should leave.

- What...

Carly!

- No! - See? This is why

I shifted my focus to another athlete.

- Seriously? - You keep proving my point,

Lyndsey. Posting that photo of Megan and Trevor...

- No, I didn't post that! - You lack the mental fortitude

required for this sport. I've seen it building for years.

Your back injury will heal, yes. But this?

This, I'm not so certain.

- I am done.

- No, everything's okay, um...

I just, I think I need to come home for a day.

I just need my mom.

Okay. I'll get on the next train.

I love you too.

What... what am I even doing?

That's your daughter. - Mm-hmm.

- Look at your face. - Oh!

- You were always so serious, right from the start.

It's a serious sport, man.

Oh... Was I always just this...

big perfectionist? Look at it.

- Yeah. - Yeah...

- Even back then.

- But still, I look so...

I look so happy. I look like...

I just belong there, so free.

Oh...

- Hey,

I know what we need.

Come on.

Come on!

Watch the tent. - I'm drowning

in a sea of pillows!

- Thank you.

No matter how cold it gets...

- there is nothing a cup of Holly's hot cocoa can't fix.

- You know I'm getting better, right?

I'm taking care of myself?

- Good.

- And...

I started an Instagram account.

And now I get to follow all the ways you're inspiring

all those young skaters.

- You know, I...

I started it because...

I want to prove to them that they don't have to be

perfect to be great.

And the funny thing is, it's...

it's been just as much an exercise in that for myself.

- I love that.

You know,

I don't think this dream is done with you.

And I definitely don't think you are done with this dream, right?

- Hashtag, ride through the storm.

- Yeah. Hashtag, ride through the storm.

- I love you. - I love you, my girl.

And I'm proud of you.

- Ms. Ryder. - Detective. What happened?

- Can I ask where you were last night,

let's say between the hours of seven PM and this morning?

- Where I was? I was... I was with my mom.

- Hmm.

- Why are you asking me that?

- Coach Dianne Taylor.

They found her body this morning.

- Coach?

- Now we're leaving all possibilities open.

When was the last time you saw Coach Taylor?

- Um...

I saw her yesterday. Yesterday morning.

We had a... we had a lesson.

- Anything unusual about that lesson?

- Why are you asking me this?

- We have information to suggest

that you had a disagreement with Coach Taylor.

We also have footage of you leaving the rink visibly upset.

- Okay. Yes, we had a disagreement. But it was...

- Were you recently tested positive for drug use?

- Yes, but technically... N-No!

- Well, you failed a drug test three days ago, is that correct?

- Correct. But I just...

Oh, Hold on a second.

Yeah, go for Baker.

Yeah, copy that.

Listen, I have a few more questions to ask you, Ms. Ryder.

Can you come to the station first thing tomorrow morning?

- Yes.

- Great.

- Oh! Lyndsey!

I can see that you're in...

you're in a lot of pain, okay? But if you...

if you killed our coach...

you need to turn yourself in.

- You stay away from me!

I've been watching you.

You're not going to get away with any of it!

- Get away with what?

- You're a monster.

You tear my coach away from me, and then...

Why did you have to kill her?

- No... no, Lyndsey. I... I would never.

- I'm not going to be next.

- Lyndsey, wait, wait. It's not safe.

It's not safe, okay? There is someone else...

Carly? - Hi, Megan.

Yoo-hoo!

I know you're in here.

You just had to come here and you just had to take

the spotlight, didn't ya?

I thought everything was gonna be fine

once I got Lyndsey off the ice.

I did you a favour when I loosened the screws

off of her skates!

There you are.

I thought getting her out of the picture,

that would make Brian stay.

But no!

He was gonna leave anyway, because I was too much.

- Carly. I am not your enemy.

- Shut up!

Ahh!

It's the end of the line, Megan Ryder.

- Carly, I... I know you are so upset

with Brian, and Blades, so...

- Are you kidding?

I killed Brian.

- What? - I wrote love notes,

"From Lyndsey" to lure him in.

It's only a matter of time before they find those

and that bitch gets what's coming for her.

In the meantime, though, I don't care

that Blades is rotting away in jail

to take the blame for it.

What?

- Oh you wipe that innocent look off your face!

You!

You are the reason that he betrayed me!

He was supposed to be my loyal fan,

and then you came in and you took him away from me!

- Carly...

I'm sorry.

- You know what, though?

I managed to even the score.

- What do you mean? - A fan for a fan, really.

You took Blades away from me, and... I took your coach.

- Carly...

Ah!

- There you are!

Carly...

- You see? You see?

Everybody loves me in here!

Everybody loves me!

But in real life...

everybody leaves me!

- Carly.

I'm not gonna leave you. Look...

- But they all stay for Megan Ryder!

And you! You tried to take Trevor away from me too!

And I'm gonna make sure that that doesn't happen.

- Don't move.

- What?

What... what?

What?

What?

What are you doing? You!

You!

- Are you okay?

- Yeah. I'm okay.

You okay?

- Yeah... I'm okay.

Ladies and gentlemen,

take your seats. The Nationals' next event

will be taking place in just a few minutes.

Mama!

- Hi!

Okay. I brought it for good luck.

- Absolutely! How can it not be?

- Right?

You know that no matter what happens out there today,

I could not be prouder of you.

- And I couldn't be prouder of you either, Mom.

We did it!

- Hi.

I'm here!

I'm a little nervous.

- Don't be.

- Don't think...

Just skate!

- Got the snacks! - Oh!

Hey, you better save some of that for me!

- No promises. - Okay, fine.

- Go get them, kiddo. - Thanks, Blades.

Competitors, the event for the long program

will begin in five minutes.

Please make your way to the ice entrance.

- Okay. - You've got this.

- We'll be here after.

- Okay. Uh... Right!

- Go! - Um...

Hashtag, ride through the storm?

- Hashtag, ride through the storm!

- Okay. Love you. - I love you more!

You guys, come on. Come on.

- First place, that's my spot.

- Oh, oh, is it?

- Mm-hmm. Well, it will be. Next year.

Okay.

- Will you take care of it for me? For now!

- Yeah, I think I can pull that off.

- I know you can.

- Thanks, Lynds.

- Hashtag, ride through the storm, right?

- Always.

And next to compete, from Mission,

Washington State,

please welcome Megan Ryder!
