- Good morning. - Morning.

Go put your shoes on. You don't wanna be late for the bus.

Mom, are you gonna make it to the dance competition tonight?

Of course. Honey, you are amazing.

And I can't wait to see that solo you've been working on.

Okay. Well, it starts at 7:00, okay? Don't forget.

- Okay. I love you. - I love you.

Bring in the mail for me, please.

Okay. I got you.

- What exactly is all this? - Just a little data entry.

So glad I don't have to do this anymore.

Amanda, what exactly do you do?

My job?

My job's to make sure everybody's happy.

Not everyone.

I'm so excited for this.

Me, too.

Look. There's the judges.

Okay. Let's zip that up.

- How do I look? - You look perfect.

Did mom come? I haven't seen her.

Uh, you know, I didn't. Why don't you go check?

I didn't see mom anywhere out there.

Don't worry, okay? She said she'd make it.

- Let's do this. - Yep, yep.

Okay.

And we have some serious young and talented dancers

for you here tonight.

Oh, I'm glad I caught you before you got away.

I need you to make a presentation on a new product.

Just as long as I get it tonight

for a board meeting tomorrow morning.

Oh, I have a, um...

Never mind.

Can you see Mom?

Uh, no, I don't see her.

Maybe she's in the back.

- Well, I hope she made it. - Yeah.

- Hey, you did a good job, Ker. - And you, too. You killed it.

Well, thank you.

You were even better than Alex.

Hey, so how did our judges like that, huh?

And now, for the moment you have all been waiting for,

please help me welcome Lex Farley,

the dancing queen!

All right! Let's give it up for Lex Farley! Yeah!

- You did so good. - Thank you.

Uh, I guess Mom couldn't make it.

Yeah.

Hey, can you text her and tell her we're headed home?

I just have to change real quick.

- Yeah. - Okay.

Hey, Lex.

Hey.

That was awesome.

Thanks.

I'ma...I'ma go now.

But I'll see you at dance tomorrow?

Yeah. Sure. Good night.

Good night, dancing queen?

Yeah. I don't know what that was.

I'd never...

Sure.

It fits, though.

- You went like this. - Yeah.

Yeah. Was that your favorite part?

Yeah. And then also when you went like that.

Yeah? What did I do? I went like what?

You went like that.

I don't know if that's what I did, Kerri. Don't fall.

And Jessica was like, "Ugh, I hate your dancing."

And I was like, "Ugh, I hate your dress."

You really said that to her?

Hey, guys.

- Mom! - How was the competition?

It was awesome. Why didn't you come?

Oh, honey, Isaac gave me this huge project

and said I had to finish it tonight.

I'm sorry, Lex.

Lex!

We looked for you all night.

I know, and I'm so sorry, honey.

- Hey, Rachel. - Oh! Isaac, you scared me.

Listen, I'm almost done with the report. I--

Rachel, I didn't come here to ask for the report.

I came here to give you this.

What's this?

I'm really sorry. I have to let you go.

- Okay, so what's this one? - California.

- Nice. Okay. And this one? - Texas.

There you go. And this one?

- Florida. - There you go.

You're getting it. You're getting it. What about this one?

-Hey, guys. -Oklahoma.

Oklahoma. You always forget that one. You remembered it.

And then there's Nebraska.

Mm-hmm.

It looks really pretty.

Thanks.

Oh, Mom, guess what happened at dance class today.

- What? - The teacher told Lex

that she's gonna get a solo in the next competition, too.

Ker, stop. It's not that big of a deal.

That is amazing. That doesn't surprise me.

- You work so hard. - Thanks, Mom.

So, there's something I wanted to tell you guys.

You know how it's been really hard ever since...

- Yeah. - And it's just, you know,

been us for a really long time.

And you know that I have always, always been thinking

about giving you guys a better life.

So I really need you to understand.

Um, understand what?

I need you both to understand.

And please don't-- don't hate me.

I can't afford to keep you guys in dance anymore.

Why not?

Because we're short on money.

It kills me that I have to take it away from you guys.

And I am so sorry, but I have tried every other angle.

There's nothing else I can do.

Mom, it's okay. It's okay.

We understand. It's fine.

We understand, Mom.

Thank you, honey. I've tried everything.

I don't know what else to do.

Um, I have an idea.

What?

What if I start homeschooling?

I'll have more time. I can get a part-time job, help out.

I can pay to get Kerri back in at least.

No. That is not your job.

You need to stay in school and just be a kid, okay?

I am already hunting for jobs, and I'm gonna get one.

Everything is gonna be fine, okay, Lex?

Everything is going to be fine.

It's gonna work out. It always does, doesn't it?

Okay.

Okay, then.

Who wants pizza tonight?

Me.

Sounds good.

You finish up that homework and I'll go order it, okay?

Okay. Sounds good.

Okay, we gotta ace this test. Let's get back to it.

Okay.

Five, six, seven, eight.

Hit. Hit. More face.

Sharper. You got it.

Sharper.

Lex, you are gonna be an amazing dancer when you grow up.

You're already better than me. Do you know that?

Left foot, right foot,

left foot, right foot, left foot.

-Um, there? -Right there.

Okay, okay.

-Yeah. Do it. Do it. -Yeah.

Oh, we have to create the whole...

You know what? You put that one.

You want them to disappear, right?

Yeah.

- Yeah. Isn't that funny? - Yeah.

- Isn't that cool? - Wait, why did you put that...

- I don't know - ...with that.

- Hey, guys. - Hey, Mom.

- But what's the wrong spot? - You're good.

So I gotta tell you something.

You might be a little excited about it.

I got a new job.

Mom, congratulations.

It's a really good opportunity. Really good.

But it's in Los Angeles.

I know. It's not ideal, but it's a really good job.

I mean, it pays double

of what I'm getting paid now for two jobs.

And best of all, I can get you guys back in dance.

- I'm excited. - Yes.

If I don't take this job,

I can't afford to pay the bills here anymore.

The last thing we need is to be homeless.

Yeah. Trust me. I get it.

We've just been moving our whole lives.

This started to feel like home, you know?

But, hey, that doesn't matter.

You got a job.

I'm really happy for you, Mom.

Congratulations.

I'm excited.

You are? Oh, good.

Oh, good.

Shouldn't you be in bed?

I'm scared.

- Of what? - Going to L.A.

I'll have to leave my friends and the dance team.

I know.

Mom's trying her best, okay?

It's hard on her, too.

Will you come tuck me in?

Of course I will. Come on.

I really am excited for you.

I was just...

being selfish earlier.

But I'm really proud of you.

And I love you.

Thank you.

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.

Bus 5550 to Palm Springs is now...

Oh, you're not asleep yet.

No, I'm not sleepy.

Wow, it looks so cool in here.

I love what you did.

Yeah?

Yes. Look at your room.

Look at our house.

Look at us.

Yeah.

I know it's still hard.

Mom, please, don't.

Lex, what is it that you really want?

It's so hard to see you this way.

I really want to start homeschooling.

I just don't want to have to go through it all again, you know,

being the new girl and trying to fit in.

And then make new friends

and finally meet people that I like

only to say goodbye to them in a year.

I know, babe. I'm so sorry about that.

I just want to finish school and move on to college.

You know what?

Let me think about it.

- Really? - Yeah.

Let me think about it.

- Good night. - Good night. Thank you.

I'm home!

Hey. How was your first day at school?

Oh, it was awesome. We played games. And guess what.

What?

We even watched a movie.

A movie?

That sounds like a pretty cool first day at school, huh?

So, how was the lunch?

Oh, it was amazing.

It was nothing like the old cardboard pizza

at my last school.

- That was nasty. - That's what you always said.

So don't you think you should come to my school?

Well, technically, I wouldn't be going to your school.

Why not?

'Cause we're not in the same grade, Ker.

Oh, yeah. I forgot my school only goes to seventh grade.

Yeah. But I think I'm really gonna like

this homeschooling thing.

It'll give me some free time

to get a part-time job and help out, you know?

- Oh, yeah. - Okay.

You need to do some homework,

and I need to run to the store and grab a few things. Okay?

Okay.

I'll see you in a minute, okay?

- See you in a minute. - Love you!

- Jinx! - Jinx!

Is there something on my face?

No. No, you look, uh...

- Look what? - Yeah. Nothing.

There's nothing on your face. You're good. Um...

- You're funny. - Thanks.

You new around here?

Uh, how'd you know?

Kind of lived here my whole life.

I know, like, everybody around here.

Everybody?

- I don't think I know you. - Oh, okay.

Yeah, we just moved here from Detroit.

- Oh, Detroit, really? - Yeah.

I was in Detroit.

It's okay.

Um...Um...

And that'll be, uh, $14 even.

Okay. Um...

Uh, yeah. There you go. Uh, thank you.

Yeah.

Hey, you forgot your dollar. Huh?

He was so hot.

- Morning. - Morning.

Lex, where's the milk?

Didn't you go to the grocery store yesterday?

Oh. Shoot, Mom.

You know, Ker loves her cereal in the morning,

so she probably used the rest.

Why don't I go to the store

and, you know, get some more for tomorrow.

No, no, no, no. I'll just use one of these.

No, Mom, Mom. No, no, it's fine. Look, it's my bad.

I should have gotten a whole gallon anyway, so listen...

- Okay. See you later. - Oh, okay. Be careful.

Lex, your breakfast!

Lex!

Guys, I can't wait for the dance competition.

It's gonna be so much fun.

The winner gets $10,000.

That's crazy. I would shop for, like, a week.

After school, we have to practice harder if we wanna win.

Excuse me.

I'm Kerri, and I heard you guys were talking,

and I just wanted to tell you that I'm a dancer, too.

Oh, that's cool. We love dancing.

You should come join sometime.

Um, you don't really look like a dancer.

Actually, you know what?

Meet us in the gym during lunch break and show us what you got.

If we like it, we will consider letting you join our team.

But if not, it's gonna be really embarrassing for you.

Fine. I'm not scared.

Cool. Don't chicken out.

You looking for someone?

Uh, no.

Um...Hey, what happened to the other guy?

The other guy?

- You mean Travis? - Yeah. Travis.

Uh, was he the one working yesterday morning?

Yeah, he's the only young guy that works here

besides me, of course, so...

Okay.

Is everything okay? Did you have an unpleasant experience?

'Cause I can get you a feedback card.

No, no, no. No, no.

My experience was so great.

He's--He's amazing.

At his job.

Yeah, he's, uh, really great at, um,

bagging groceries.

So I came back here to tell you

that you've got a good one on your hands there, so...

Yeah. Um, yeah, I love this stuff.

So I better get-- Have a good day. Thank you.

Okay.

Okay, noted.

Oh, you showed up. I thought you would be scared.

At least you get a point for that.

So, ready to show us what you got?

- Yep. - Cool.

That was amazing.

More like fabulous.

You're a really great dancer, Kerri.

- You can dance, girl. - Thank you.

So does that mean I'm in now?

Of course. You're in.

Thank you so much.

The bad news. We won't be going to the dance competition, so...

- Why not? - Because we don't have

a dance instructor anymore. She quit this morning.

And we can't practice by ourselves.

We need someone to teach us some new dance moves.

Guys, my sister's an amazing dancer.

She taught me everything I know,

and I'm sure she can teach us for the competition.

That would be so cool, Kerri.

And also, tell her that our moms

would pay her the exact same amount

they were paying our other instructor.

Okay, I'll talk to her about it. Cross your fingers.

-Fingers crossed. -Good luck, Kerri.

- No, Ker. - Please.

- No. - Please.

No. I'm too busy.

- Seriously? - Yeah.

Mom, please tell her. Please.

No, mom, please don't.

Lex, you would be an amazing dance coach.

You're always teaching Kerri anyway.

- See? - But I don't want to do it.

I don't want to be just a babysitter.

I told you guys, I want to get a part-time job.

Excuse me. We're not babies.

- Sorry. - Did I tell you it pays money?

Oh! Well, in that case, it's a great opportunity.

You love dance.

I think you'll enjoy it more than you realize.

I'm not gonna force you, but think about it.

Okay, I'll think about it.

She's thinking about it. Oh, my God.

Oh, my God. You're thinking about it.

And I can move. I can dance.

Yeah. There it is.

- I got it. - Wow.

What is that?

So, is it yes or no?

I have to think about it. Let me think about it.

Give her a little time to think about it.

Okay, Mom. Just one night.

- Oh, okay. You have one night. - Putting a time limit.

- You have one night. - 12 hours.

- 12 hours. - 12 hours.

- Putting a time limit on it. - Mm-hmm.

All right, I'll do it.

- Really? - Yeah.

Come here.

Thank you so much. Yeah, of course.

But listen. Not every night, okay?

Just a few nights a week.

Okay. I can't wait to tell the girls.

- They're gonna be so excited. - Yeah?

Okay.

Five, six, five, six, seven, eight.

Hit. Hit. Up.

Nice. Point your feet. Don't forget.

Hit, hit, hit, hit.

Swivel. Up.

Beautiful. Okay, keep going.

Hit, hit, hit, hit.

Swivel out. Up. Strut, strut, out.

Jump. Nice.

Girls, is this your favorite dance you've ever done?

- Yeah. - Yeah?

Are you just saying that 'cause I just asked?

- No! - No?

- It's fun? - Yeah!

What's your favorite part?

- This part. - Yeah.

Vogue? Yeah. That's a good part.

You choreographed the best dance.

Thanks, Ker.

I think so. You're such a great dancer.

- Oh, thank you. - Yeah.

We're so glad you decided to teach us.

Yeah. We're gonna win.

Well, if that's the case, we better get back to work.

Let's do it.

Push it. You're almost there.

Push. Oh, nice! Okay.

Pull it in. And pose.

Good job, girls. You killed it that time.

You did it.

Why do I have to dance on Saturday

when none of the other girls have to?

You said you wanted to.

Well, that was before I knew that I had to wake up so early.

Okay, come on.

What we did last night.

Ready? Remember it? Ready?

Five, six, seven, eight.

Step, touch.

Touch. Touch. Smile. Come on.

Hit. Hit.

Make sure you're stepping. Touch.

Step, touch. There you go. Yeah.

Ready? Hit the next move.

Five, six, seven, eight.

Roll. Roll.

Roll. Down. Hit.

Hit. Hit. Hit.

Yeah. Don't speed up.

Look at me.

- You want this, right? - Yeah.

You've got to hit it harder.

- Okay. - Okay. But I believe in you.

You've got to hit it harder. Okay. Five, six, seven, eight.

So then she was like, "I'm a way better dancer than you."

And I was like, "Um, no, you're not."

So that's when I had to set the bitch straight.

- So, who won? - She did.

Typical, Skyla.

Well, I thought I could beat her.

I didn't know she was this great dancer.

Who's this bitch?

I don't know.

She's really good.

Come on, girls. Let's go say hi.

Hey.

Uh, hey.

They told us this was our room, but if it's yours, no big deal.

I mean, we can head out, it's--

Oh, no, we just wanted to say hi.

We've never seen you here before. You're really good.

Oh, thanks.

What's your name?

Oh, I'm Lex, and this is my sister, Kerri.

Hey.

So, um, if you don't mind, can we watch?

Watch me?

Yeah. Just want to see what you got.

Maybe I can learn a thing or two.

Uh, yeah. Sure, I guess.

Awesome.

We'll just be over here, out of your way.

Okay, cool. Okay.

No matter what, keep moving.

Six, seven, eight.

Hit. Hit. Hit.

Good. Hit the roll. Roll. Hit.

Sky, are you crazy?

Why? What's wrong with watching her dance?

She is awesome, isn't she?

Yeah, she is.

You guys are so good.

- Thanks. - Thank you.

We should be friends.

Friends?

Oh, that'd be awesome. Lex doesn't have any friends.

Well, I mean, she doesn't have any friends here.

She had lots of friends before we moved. You know.

Nice save, Ker.

You should come to our dance rehearsal tonight.

We can introduce you to our crew.

Oh, that'd be awesome. Right, Lex?

Yeah. Right.

We'll be in the studio 6:00 to 7:00.

Cool. See you then.

Oh, my gosh. Can you believe that?

- What? - They loved your dancing.

Okay, you didn't get enough rehearsal. Let's go.

Oh, here. Uh, you wanted some peanut butter, right?

- Sure. - Okay, I'm run inside

and go get some. Just stay here.

Peanut butter? I don't even want peanut butter.

Oh! I'm so sorry. I'm suck a klutz.

It was all my fault. I...

Nope. It's all good. It's all good.

- You got it? - Yeah, yeah. We're cool.

- Don't worry. - Okay.

Detroit.

Yeah. That's me.

Welcome back.

Thank you.

It's nice to see you again.

Are you sure? After the...cracker?

Yeah, yeah. I mean, well, they're just crackers.

Yeah.

A little beat up now, but it'll be okay.

- Take care of 'em. - Okay.

Yeah.

I gotta go. Um...

Uh, hey, I still owe you a dollar.

Yeah, keep it. You're good.

- Where's the peanut butter? - Well, they were all out.

They're never out of peanut butter--

- This time they were. - Wait, what?

I can't make it to next week's competition.

I can't do it, not with this new job.

I wish I could come.

Me, too.

I'm still gonna keep trying, okay?

- I'll try for the next one. - Okay.

Oh, yeah. Guess what happened at dance today.

- What? - Some girls told Lex

how much they loved her dancing.

Oh, that's nice. Is that true, Lex?

Yeah, but they complimented Ker, too.

But they complimented you the most.

That was very sweet of whoever it was.

You guys, I love dance and everything,

but I really want to focus on school and get a job.

Honey, I don't want you to have to worry about a job.

You just keep dancing and make good grades for college, okay?

We're doing okay right now.

Mom's right. You shouldn't give up dancing.

It's your passion. You love it.

Okay, I'll keep dancing.

Six, seven, eight.

Lex. Oh, my gosh.

Glad you can make it. Time for introductions.

Lex, you've already met Jordan and Carly.

This is Travis and this is Aaron.

Nice to meet you.

Skyla says you're really good. Is that true?

Well, I don't...

Just one way to find out.

- Show us what you got. - Come on, Lex.

Show us what you did yesterday.

I'll play you a beat.

Okay. Yeah, yeah.

Hey, Skyla, can, uh-- can she--Can she join the group?

Of course she can. That's why we invited her.

- So... - Of course she'll join.

Yay!

Five, six, seven, eight.

So, how long have you been dancing?

I don't know. I guess as long as I can remember.

Wow. That's a long time.

So, just because you're a great dancer

doesn't mean you're better than me.

This team revolves around me.

What's wrong? Why aren't you saying anything?

Man, this is great. I'm so excited for it.

Skyla, come here.

Anyways, hope you get what I'm trying to say.

See you later.

- Hey, what's up? - Hey.

Yeah. Don't worry about her.

She's kind of, you know-- She's doing her own thing.

She pays for everything. But, you know, we got you.

Don't worry about it. Just have fun and do your thing.

- Awesome. - You ready?

- Cool. Sick. - All right, let's go.

Let's go.

- Hey. - Hey.

I'm not following you or anything.

My house is this way, too, so I'm just walking.

Okay. 'Cause I didn't take you for a stalker.

- Stalker? - Yeah, it's a little creepy.

- Wow. - Mm-hmm.

- Okay. - No, it's fine.

We can walk together.

Cool.

I was thinking about that dance that we were working on.

- Yeah? - Yeah.

Do you remember that part where I, like,

kind of come up to your left side?

Yeah.

I was just kind of imagining, like, when I came up,

what if I grabbed your hand.

And then...we come here.

And we go up,

And then I go...

Then you bring your hands down.

And then...

Five, six, five, six, seven, eight.

Can I tell you something?

Just felt really all alone recently...

I'm still here.

And I'll always be here for you. Okay?

Promise.

Family.

Five, six, seven, eight.

Nice, girls!

You killed it. Okay.

You guys nervous for the competition?

No way. I'm so excited.

Not gonna lie. I am a little nervous.

Well, don't be. You guys look fantastic.

Okay, you all need to go home and get plenty of rest tonight.

I will meet you all at the auditorium tomorrow.

I'm really excited, and I'm so proud of you guys.

Okay, group hug and then we can all go home.

- You guys got this, okay? - Okay.

I feel it.

Now, we have a lot of talent in the building tonight,

but only one can be crowned the winner

of today's StarTime competition.

I know you're a little nervous, but take a deep breath.

What do we say when we're a little nervous?

- Keep moving. - Keep moving.

You got it, Ker. I love you.

Whoo! Go, Ker!

Oh, my God!

Was that not the most amazing performance

you've ever seen in your entire life?

Amazing. Incredible.

And the winner of this year's StarTime dance competition

and winner of the $10,000 prize is...

The Rock Angel!

Oh, Ker!

That was so good. You did it.

- I did? - Yeah.

Yeah, you did it.

I am so proud of both of you. I wish I could have made it.

- It was all Lex anyways. - Oh, no, it was all you.

You took the stage and killed it.

I'm glad you decided to teach the girls.

They won that competition because of your support.

That's something to be proud of.

I see you brought Travis. Y'all were cute.

Stop it, okay? He just wanted to watch you dance.

I bet he did.

- Ker. - Lex.

No, it's nothing, okay? He's just a friend.

- And Ker's just being silly. - Oh, really? Just a friend?

Ah...

Come on, Lex. You can tell us. We're team Lex here.

No, I swear it's nothing.

I know. Why don't we have this Travis boy over for dinner?

And then I can meet him.

Oh, absolutely not.

Why not? It would be nice.

And I can see who you're getting so worked up about.

No, that is not happening. Okay, I'm going to bed. Good night.

I guess she won't be needing these.

Huh?

I can't believe they let you guys wear that

- to school today. - I know.

I was totally getting some looks from Mrs. Aldean,

but Coach Harris was checking me out like a perv.

- That's gross. - I think I'm gonna try this on.

- That's cute. - Super cute.

I need a new dress. My dad's making me go to this lame party.

- I hate when parents do that. - Tell me about it.

Blaze.

Yeah. What? What?

- Dog. - What's good?

Dude, when did you get back in town?

- A few days ago, man. - What? Oh, my...

Came back to the place I said I'd never come back to.

Well, you're always gonna do that.

- Man, it's been a minute. - It has been.

- Wow. How are you? Good? - Good, man.

You gotta swing through the studio.

Yeah, I wanna hear some new mixes.

Oh, yeah. I got you. How's things going with Skyla?

You should definitely buy that.

Makes my ass look good.

Your ass always looks good.

Sssss. All right, so there's this new girl.

Yeah, dude, she's like...

Dog, that's a problem. What's her name?

- Lex. - Lex.

Okay, okay. I see you.

Yeah, dude. Nah, dude. Just breathe. Chill. Chill.

She's wearing, like, big-ass pants.

I just--I don't like Lex.

Why?

Because she's clearly just trying to get

her claws into Travis, and this is my team.

- She needs to answer to me. - Yeah, facts.

So...wait. Do you like Travis?

Wow, Jordan. You're such a genius.

- Shut up. - Since when?

Why?

I don't know. Like, a few months, I guess.

I don't really know how he feels anymore

ever since she came along and started messing things up

with her Detroit happiness.

So, does he know that you like him?

No.

I tried to tell him, but it just--

I just couldn't find the right time.

Skyla, obviously that's your fault.

I can't believe that bitch stole your dude.

- Okay. - Thank you.

Nobody stole anyone.

He doesn't even know that she likes him

and neither does Lex.

Why don't you just tell him how you feel?

You know what? That's actually a great idea, Jordan.

- Of course it is. - For people who like to beg.

Yeah, make him beg. You're way too pretty to beg.

- What if that doesn't happen? - Then I guess we'll see.

Skyla, seriously? You're being ridiculous right now.

Ridiculous?

Trust me. I know what I'm doing.

You pushed me.

No, I didn't.

Don't lie. You pushed me.

I would never do that.

You know what, Lex?

You have been jealous of me

ever since the day I let you on my team.

Okay, that's insane.

Okay? Stop it, all right? This is ridiculous.

Come on, Skyla. She wouldn't do that.

She pushed me and you know it.

She didn't push you.

You tripped.

Okay, we literally all saw you.

You know what, Travis? I can't believe you.

You are such a traitor.

A traitor? Really?

You completely let her ruin what we had.

Remember the promise you made me?

You said that no matter what,

you would always be there for me, like family.

What happened to that promise, Travis?

Nothing happened to that promise, Skyla.

Okay?

That doesn't mean I can't be friends with other people.

Here.

Travis, I'm home. It's--

Just take it. I should have gave you to you a lot sooner.

Well, thanks.

Sorry about all that.

No, it's--it's not that big of a deal.

It's fine.

Yeah, I know, but, I mean,

it's not really your drama to be dealing with.

Look, it's obvious Skyla has feelings for you.

I just didn't see it coming.

I probably should have seen it coming.

I mean, we've been friends for a long time.

I get it. She's been through a lot.

I can only imagine.

There's only so much I can do, you know?

Yeah.

Look, I get it.

I should probably go inside.

It's getting late and I have lots of school to do, so...

Yeah. Yeah, I should probably go too.

Okay. Yeah. See you tomorrow?

- Yeah. - Okay.

All right.

- Good night. - Yeah, good night.

Ker, what are you doing? So embarrassing.

Damn. Where are they at?

Who's in charge here?

Uh, Skyla.

Well, it's not Skyla anymore. She called.

She says she's moving out and not responsible anymore.

So somebody here has to pay the rent.

You gotta pay by the end of the month or you gotta get out.

It's gotta be cleaned as well. And decide something quick

because I got a list of dancers waiting for this space.

All right. Thanks, dude.

Looks like Skyla bailed on us. Should I call her?

I'll go call Aaron.

Yo, Aaron. What's good? Where you at?

What? What are you talking about?

Wait, wait. Dude, are you kidding me?

Nah. Nah, I just thought we were tighter than that.

But it's cool.

Well, no practice tonight.

Carly and Aaron are with Skyla, so...

Not shocked about that.

Well, I'm not surprised by Carly, but...Aaron?

Supposed to be, like, my best friend.

Anyway, uh...

I can still walk you home.

If you want to, of course.

Yeah. I'd like that.

Hey, thanks for walking me home.

I mean, it'd kind of make me a jerk if I didn't, wouldn't it?

Yeah, actually. A really big jerk.

- A really big jerk. All right. - A little bit.

- Can I ask you a question? - Yeah, sure. What?

Do you...

like me?

You know, like,

like me, like me?

That's stupid.

- Are we dancing now? Yeah? - Yeah. Yeah.

- Do I like you? - Yeah.

- Maybe a little bit. - Just a little?

Just a little bit.

No. Yeah.

I think you're a super cool chick.

And...

I don't know. There's just--

There's something about you that--

that just makes me feel like I can just...be me.

I just want you to know...

that if you ever need anything...

I'll be here for you.

Always.

It's getting--

It's getting late. I should go.

Wait. What-- Did I--Did I say something?

No. No. I just...

I'll just talk to you later.

I promise.

I will always be there for you.

Yes, Daddy.

Hey. I promise.

Give me a hug. Come here.

Okay, listen. you gotta--

Olivia, you're not even...

Oh, my God. Stop. Stop. Stop.

It's an absolute mess.

So just--just call it a night. Go home.

Yes?

- Hi. - Hi.

Uh, you must be Lex's mom. I'm Travis.

Lex and I, we--we dance together.

Oh, yes.

Yes. Hi, Travis.

- Hi. - Come on in.

Okay. Yeah.

Sorry for the mess. We're still getting situated.

Oh, no worries. I get it.

So go ahead and wait right here,

and I'll tell Lex that you're here.

Lex, there's a really cute boy out here wanting to see you.

Uh...

I don't want to see him.

Can you just... tell him I can't right now?

Lex, don't be like that. He's waiting for you.

Mom, please. I really don't want to talk to him.

Can you just say I'm not feeling well or something?

Okay.

Travis, I'm so sorry. She's not feeling well right now.

Oh, yeah, no, it's okay.

Uh, can you just give her a message for me?

Yeah, of course.

There's this, uh--

It's this big competition

called the Rock Your Dance competition.

- Okay. - Huge prize

and a scholarship for everybody that wins.

I was just wanting to see if she would be on board

for something like that, but...

Okay. Well, I'll make sure to tell her.

Okay. Yeah, Lex is just...

Yeah, she's just an amazing dancer, so...

That's very sweet of you.

- She is. - Yeah.

I'll make sure to let her know.

Okay. Thank you.

You're welcome.

It was really nice to meet you.

Oh, it was nice to meet you, too, Travis.

Yeah. I hope Lex starts to feel better soon.

- Yeah. Yeah, me, too. - Yeah.

Well, yeah.

Well, you have a great day, okay?

- Yeah, you, too. - Oh! Are you all right?

- Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine. - Okay.

- All right. Bye. - Bye.

Lex, that was unacceptable.

Why didn't you go out there and talk to that sweet boy?

'Cause I didn't want to, Mom.

Why?

I just didn't want to.

It's up to me who I want to talk to.

Okay.

You're not acting like yourself.

Tell me what's wrong.

Nothing's wrong, Mom. I'm fine.

Just forget about it, okay?

Do you know why he came by?

How would I know? I didn't invite him over.

There's this big dance competition,

and he wants you and the team to sign up.

Sounds really exciting and a lot of fun.

It's everything you've ever dreamed about, right?

You want to make new friends and...

Honey, what's wrong?

What's going on in that beautiful head of yours?

I know you got a lot going on.

Moving you around all the time. It's my fault. I'm sorry.

No. It's not your fault, Mom.

I'm just a wreck.

I didn't mean to take it out on you.

- Lex. - What?

So, Daddy's got to tell you something, okay?

Okay.

I, um, gonna have to go away for a little bit.

Okay.

- And, uh-- - Daddy, I love you.

It's, uh-- It's grown-up stuff, okay?

I don't think, uh--I don't think you'd understand, but...

I think--I think I have daddy issues and trust issues.

God, I never wanted to be that girl.

Ten years in waiting.

I'm not holding my breath anymore either.

Let me tell you, it's a character flaw in him,

not in you.

You're a very strong young lady.

And we have each other.

I know we do.

And honestly, I could care less if he ever comes back.

I just need you.

You got me.

There's something I have to do.

I'm so sorry.

- For what? What? - For a lot of things.

No, you don't have to--

No, seriously, just...accept it.

Okay.

Yeah. Let's do it.

Do what? What--

The Rock Your Dance competition.

Okay. Let's do it.

Yeah.

I mean, that was a little quick.

Yeah. We just--We need to find a few more dancers.

Well, lucky I already have an idea.

Hey, hey.

Hey, Lex, this is Blaze.

He used to be our DJ, but he moved away for a minute.

This guy's got some crazy mixes.

What's good?

Come on, dude. Just show what you got.

I got you.

Oh, that's sick.

Yeah, you know I'm lit.

Hey, you know, Sky hit me up the other day.

Could not deal with the attitude, so I told her no.

But hope she's not as bad as her.

Oh, trust me. I'm nothing like Skyla.

Dude, Lex is much easier to deal with than Skyla.

And a lot better of a dancer, too, but...

She's a lot better-looking, too.

Come on, for real? Just...

All right. We just need two more dancers.

So, you got anybody?

I think I'll have someone y'all like.

- Yeah? - Yeah.

Let's go. Come on. Shoot him a call.

- Yeah. - Let's get him in here.

Yo, Max. Yeah, it's me, Blaze.

I got somebody looking for you.

No, not like that, bro.

Like a dance scene.

Why would somebody be looking for you?

Yeah? All right, bet. Meet me in the studio later.

All right.

- He's in. - Hey!

Yo, this is my boy Max.

- Max. - Hey.

Let's see what you got.

- Wow. That was awesome. - Thanks.

- Yeah. Welcome to the team. - For real?

Yo, you killed it.

- One down, one to go. - Let's go.

- What is that? - Dang!

Ohhh!

What's that?

Let's go check it out.

- She's the one. - She's the one.

She's most definitely the one.

- You gotta join our team. - What?

We have a dance team, and we need just one more person

for the Rock Your Dance competition.

Are you for real?

I literally love the Rock Your Dance competition.

I've dreamt of dancing in it for forever.

- That's awesome. - I'm so excited.

- Sick. Can I see your phone? - Yeah. Here.

Here's my number. We're rehearsing later.

Just text me, and I will send you the address.

Yeah, keep it bumping.

Oh, he--he means music.

Yeah, he's our DJ.

Wow. You guys have your own DJ?

That's dope. He's cute for a DJ.

Yeah, I like her. She's good.

Wait. For a DJ? What's that supposed to mean?

Hey, shut up. Come on.

- Is that a bad thing? - No. No. No.

All right, guys. So we all agree

that we need to make some money for the studio time

and now the entry fee for the Rock Your Dance competition.

All right?

Well, let's get to work. Lex, you said you had something.

Yeah. I was working on some stuff last night

and I think I came up with something you're gonna like.

Hip, up. Hip, up.

Throw it back. Hit, hit, hit.

And then bring it back down.

And then up one more time. And then throw it back.

What the hell, you guys? What are you waiting for?

That's pretty simple stuff, Skyla.

I mean, we can hit harder than that.

Angel, if you want to be on my team,

I need you to shut up and listen.

Angel's right. We can do way better.

I'm not paying for time to hear bad ideas,

so you need to get this right.

We need to focus.

Otherwise, you can kiss the competition

and your pretty scholarships goodbye.

Let's run it again from the top.

Five, six, five, six, seven eight--

Mom!

- I'm so happy you made it. - I told you I would.

Lex, the girls and I have been talking,

and we want to cover your fees

for the Rock Your Dance competition.

No way. Girls, that's so sweet.

I don't know what to say, but thank you.

Thank you so much.

Mom, I thought we were just having pizza.

We are.

And I also invited a friend of mine from work, George.

He's gonna come with his daughter.

What party? I thought it was just us.

It'll be fun, right? More people, more fun.

I gotta hurry up 'cause they're gonna be here any minute.

Oh, they're here.

Okay. I didn't have time to get ready.

- Do I look okay? - Seriously?

Okay.

George. Oh, hi. Oh, this is your daughter.

You are so beautiful. Come on in.

These are my daughters, Lex and Kerri.

Nice to meet you, ladies. This is my daughter, Skyla.

- Lex, I got you something. - Isn't that sweet?

And they also brought a cake.

Honey, where are your manners? Say thank you.

Yeah. Thank you.

Dad, can we leave?

I feel suffocated by this tiny room.

Skyla.

Can we just go?

I don't want to be here. And I'm not...

going to celebrate her birthday.

Mom.

I'm sorry.

Dad, let's go.

- Rachel, I'm sorry, but-- - Are you coming or not?

Skyla!

I, uh...

So sorry, Lex.

Little birdie told me you'd be out here.

- My mom? - Maybe.

Wow.

Thank you.

My dad used to...

take me to a park like this one all the time when I was little.

It's one of the last few memories I have of him.

So every now and then, I...

try to find the nearest one and...

hold on to that memory for as long as I can.

Is that weird?

Mm-mmm.

It's been a crazy year.

No pressure.

I'd be as far or close as you need me to be.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Listen up, people.

We're not in this competition for fun.

I need us to beat Lex and Travis, no matter what.

That means we gotta work harder and we gotta dance better.

Do you understand me?

I mean, we're working as hard as we can.

Right. What more can we do?

Whatever. Let's just do it again from the top.

Five, six, seven, eight.

I'm really excited for tomorrow. We've gotta win this thing.

I mean, that money would be nice and all,

but I'm honestly really excited about that scholarship.

That would be sick.

I looked up the school.

They do have a sick DJ music program.

- Yeah? - Kind of jealous

I can't afford a school like that.

Makes me wish I was on the team.

Jordan, what about you?

Um, I haven't really thought about it.

I guess I just love dancing

and being on this team with you guys.

Aw, that's sweet.

- Lucky, what about you? - Girl, I just...

I'd just love to win. That's all it is.

And I love you guys for giving me that chance.

Has anyone heard from Max?

There's no way he's gonna be late on our last rehearsal.

Nah. I mean, I haven't heard from him.

Honestly, I don't know, but we've got to get started,

so he can just jump in when he gets here, I guess.

- I guess so. - Let's get started.

So, I guess this is what that was all about.

Yeah, I have to apologize again for all that.

Probably the most embarrassing moment in my life.

It's okay.

I actually felt worse for you than I did for me or even Lex.

She was pretty hard on you, George.

Yeah.

- But we're working through it. - Yeah.

I really want to thank you for your understanding.

- Where is he? - I have no idea.

He's not answering my calls.

He just texted me, said he's about to walk in.

Sorry, guys. It pays to be on this team.

Looks like Team Synergy doesn't have enough dancers.

That sucks for you. You're gonna have to forfeit.

Don't ever mess with me.

- You've gotta be kidding me. - So we have to drop out?

The rules require five dancers, so...

I have an idea. Let me do it.

- Do what? - Dance.

For real. I've been watching this routine for two weeks.

I could do it in my sleep.

And besides, you guys worked way too hard

just to let it go.

We can do this.

I mean, it's like our best choice at the moment.

It's our only choice.

- All right, let's do it. - Got it.

What's up, y'all?

Wow.

Tonight's finna be spicy, y'all,

'cause we got some hot teams coming at you

with some dope performances.

And the winning team will be winning a $25,000 prize

and a full-ride scholarship to the Segway School of the Arts.

It's a good school, baby. It's bougie, honey. All right?

You guys ready for this?

Let's do it.

So, I'm gonna get out of y'all way

'cause I feel like y'all are ready to turn up.

So without further ado, please welcome Purple Passion.

Skylights, let's go!

Team Synergy!

Whoo!

Damn, kid, you was bumpin' out there.

Right?

Yeah!

All right, everybody.

We have two teams moving into our final round.

And those teams are...

Team Skylights and Team Synergy!

Congratulations to our finalists.

They are backstage right now, rehearsing for our team battle.

We will see you soon.

We got this.

Yeah, we do.

Skylights, let's get it!

Team Synergy!

All right, ladies and gentlemen, both teams were amazing.

But, unfortunately, there can only be one winner.

And that winner is...

Team Synergy!

Congratulations, you guys.

You have just won $25,000

and a scholarship to the Segway School of the Arts.

Yeah!

You know it's a priority.
