Tara finds a new mentor to admire in Saskia Duncan, the youngest principal dancer in the Company's history. Saskia takes Tara under her wing, but gives her a few things to worry about; like is there a future with Christian if he's not committed to becoming a principal dancer like she is?
Feeling threatened by the inclusion of 'effortlessly perfect' Grace, and with 'nice' Abigail now a distant memory, Abigail endeavours to dig up the dirt on Grace's background to find a reason to have her dismissed. She's aided by her doting First Year minions, and finds they can really help a bruised ego.
Meanwhile, Kat struggles to find her feet at a normal school and Christian bucks the discontinuation of hip hop in the Academy curriculum by teaching it to students in a secret class.
