## Synopsis

Back to school two weeks later, things are not like before, but students will have to adapt to changes. New musical partnerships, changing dance dynamics and missing faces in the halls have all of Keaton’s students coping to adjust.

## Plot

Alya exits Keaton, to go on the *Da Bohème* tour. Meanwhile, the *Step, Sister!*, with Carly being Cinderella, performance continues, and Jax and Bianca, in the audience, exchange smiles. In the hallway, Julie, begs her dad to let her stay at Keaton, but he refuses. Julie's parents tell her that she's leaving Keaton for good. They then inform Julie that she's grounded for lying and disobedience. Denzel and Scarlett are saddened by Julie leaving. As this is happening, Vanessa is sent away to hospital. Simultaneously, Alya enters a taxi and leaves; Miles runs out but doesn't catch her.

After the two-week break, the students of Keaton return to school. The Music Program students prepare for the lesson. Bianca, in her Confessional, admits that she missed Jax over the break. Mr. Park enters and as he sees that Alya is absent, it sinks into Miles that Alya is definitely gone. Bianca admits to Jax that she "kind of" likes somebody. Jax admits that he does too. Bianca, who is smiling as she thinks it is her, asks who. Jenna waves to Jax from the doorway, and Jax reveals that she is his girlfriend. Bianca is appalled.

Vanessa returns to the Dance Studio, excited to be returning to Keaton but is not excited about seeing Carly. She also reveals that her cast is coming off later in the week. Carly enters, and scowls at Vanessa and she scowls back. Ms. Maria enters and tells the dancers to go to the barre. Vanessa goes too and Maria orders her to not do it to avoid injury. Vanessa argues that she is willing to take risks but Maria orders her to not.

Scarlett, as the new Student President after Julie left, is leading a party in the school grounds.
