Sala: I can skate without your love,

Sala: and I'll start dating!

Moro: If he finishes in second or above, he may still make the Grand Prix Final.

Miche: Do you like Czech men who have nothing but cheer?

Miche: Or do you like moody Japanese men who look like closet pervs?

Sala: Your short program was super sexy.

Y: Huh? Thanks.

Miche: So despite being Italian, you don't like men who are negative, Sala?

Oda: A quadruple loop.

Moro: That was perfect!

Moro: So far, we've seen four flawless quads!

Yuri: What's that pork cutlet bowl doing?

Moro: His second jump turned into a single.

Y: Crap, crap...

Y: Calm down. Calm down!

Y: How do I recover from this?

V: Yuri, you tend to flub your jumps when something is on your mind.

V: Starting today, I'm your coach.

V: I'll make you win the Grand Prix Final.

Y: How did he know how I felt?

Y: Until Victor came into my life,

Y: I could never openly say that I'd win gold,

Y: but I never skated with the thought in my mind that I'd lose anyway.

Moro: That jump had enough rotations.

Y: Truthfully, I wanted to win gold at last year's Grand Prix Final, too.

V: Yuri, you're not weak.

V: No one else thinks that, either.

Y: Now that I know what love is and am stronger for it,

Y: I'll prove it to myself with a Grand Prix Final gold medal!

Y: I was able to come this far because Victor believed in me.

Oda: A triple loop.

Y: If I end here without making the Grand Prix Final...

Y: Don't think right now.

Yuri: You idiot!

JJ: Yuri...

JJ: All supportive now that you've clinched your spot in the Final, eh?

JJ: Cheer for me, too, will you?

Moro: You can feel Katsuki Yuri's love, a love he can only express on the ice,

Moro: in this step sequence.

Sala: Aw, he had really good flow until the end.

Mila: It's too bad.

Mila: When you think of how it could've been with Victor here,

Mila: you really want to see that, right?

Y: That was the toughest program I've done so far...

Yakov: Hey.

Yakov: You totally failed to take advantage of the program Vitya made for you!

Yakov: Why didn't you practice for the possibility that you might flub a jump?

Y: He's just like Victor... A huge lecture at the kiss and cry.

JJ: I can tell that much by your free skate.

JJ: I am the only king!

Oda: A quadruple Salchow.

Moro: Success!

Moro: Next up is a quad-triple combination.

Oda: Quadruple toe loop, triple toe loop.

Moro: At Skate Canada, this year's first Grand Prix event,

Moro: he held off Russia's Yuri Plisetsky, winning for the second time.

Moro: With Victor Nikiforov absent this season,

Moro: a new prince in the figure skating world has been born.

JJ: Wrong.

JJ: I'm no prince.

JJ: I'm already a king!

JJ: "I'll be the hero who stops Victor from becoming the

JJ: consecutive five-time world champion."

JJ: That's what I was thinking when I made this program,

JJ: but I had no idea Victor would go on break.

JJ: I bet he ran because he was afraid of losing to me.

JJ: That poor guy, Victor Nikiforov!

Oda: A triple axel.

JJ: Dad, Mom,

JJ: my precious girlfriend,

JJ: the great people of Canada,

JJ: and everyone who loves skating...

JJ: This is for you.

JJ: This isn't enough love!

Oda: A quadruple Lutz.

Moro: Nailed it!

Moro: Amazing.

Moro: A superb jump combination!

JJ: Hey, judges!

JJ: This is JJ!

Moro: His last jump will be a quad.

Moro: He's landed all his jumps!

News: JJ will take first in the free skate, as well.

News: Yuri Plisetsky will place second,

News: with Michele Crispino in third.

News: Katsuki Yuri will be fourth.

News: When you total both competition scores,

News: Michele and Katsuki have the same overall score.

Y: Since we're tied in points,

Y: I can squeak into the Final because I placed second in the Cup of China.

Y: The Rostelecom Cup is over.

Y: The final six who will advance to the Grand Prix Final are

Y: the three who had basically been confirmed already...

Y: JJ, who cemented his win with another high score,

Y: Yurio, who finished second, and...

Miche: Man, I'm tired.

Sala: You don't have to come support me at the Women's Free Skate tomorrow, Mickey.

Miche: Can't I at least cheer you on?

Sala: You'd just rush right to the kiss and cry again.

Sala: Yuri, congrats on qualifying for the Grand Prix Final!

Sala: I knew you'd make it.

Miche: Sala!

Y: Thanks.

Miche: What are you doing?!

Miche: Huh?

Emil: Was that Mickey screaming?

Emil: What's this? A hugging competition?

JJ: JJ is—

Yuri: Huh?!

Yuri: Stay away from me!

Y: I'm this close to the peak of my competitive figure skating career.

Y: I really want the gold now.

Y: The Grand Prix Final will be my last chance.

Y: Even if I don't win gold,

Y: I'll have Victor step down as coach after the Grand Prix Final, and...

Yuri: There you are, pork cutlet bowl.

Yuri: You made me look for you.

Y: Oh, Yurio...

Yuri: What was that earlier?

Yuri: Stop creeping me out!

Yuri: And what was that free skate, anyway?

Yuri: You can make the excuse that you couldn't do your best because Victor wasn't there,

Yuri: but I was in top form and earned a new personal best,

Yuri: only to lose to JJ again!

Yuri: You have no right to feel more down than me, pork cutlet bowl!

Yuri: You can have it.

Yuri: It's almost your birthday, right?

Yuri: Huh?

Yuri: Pirozhki?

Yuri: Eat.

Y: Huh? Right here?

Yuri: Eat!

Y: There's rice in this...

Y: Pork cutlet and egg, too.

Y: It's a pork cutlet bowl!
