[bunniefuu]

[Scarlett] What were you doing out there?

[Maya] What were you doing
paying for Kyra's review?

- [Scarlett] Bye.
- Where are you going?

Somewhere without you.

[in Spanish] Mommy, I hate it here!

Scarlett has abandoned me.

Kyra is stealing the scholarship from me!

[sniffling]

I wish I was home with you and Papa.

[sniffles and sighs]

But I won't let you down!

I will get a scholarship!

[sniffs] I love you, Mommy!

Maya is scheduled to perform
her floor routine second to last.

Kyra, you're after her.

There's no rule to say that two people
can't perform the same routine.

We all know what the reality is, Maddy.

A routine seen a second time around
will not score as well.

They may even think that I copied her.

[sighs]

[North girls clap]

Great job, Maya.

Nice.

[Gabby] Maddy?

Good luck tomorrow, girls.

Listen, Maddy.

I'm not gonna apologize
for a girl who wants to leave your team

and just about begs to come over to mine.

Look, honestly, I had no idea

that she was gonna perform
a routine similar to Kyra's.

Um, you mean exactly the same.

Well, that I don't know.
This is the one she's learned.

This is the one she's gonna perform.

Can't change it.

[somber music playing]

Girls, let's not let this
get us down, okay?

You are amazing gymnasts
with brilliant skills.

Yes, Kyra's routine is a problem,

but let's not get overwhelmed.

All right?

We've got this.

Maddy, I'm so sorry things
have worked out like this.

Thanks, Sally.

You know, Michelle
and I recently went to the US

and we judged the college gymnastics
competitions over there.

As judges, we're trying to reward
more adventurous routines

like those performed
at the colleges there.

I was at your internal competitions
earlier in the year,

and your performances were outstanding.

I'm looking forward to seeing
your team compete tomorrow.

Thanks, Sally. Thanks, Michelle.

[Maddy sighs]

[Scarlett sighs]

[Maddy] All right, girls.

Let's get on the floor, use up
this training time. Come on.

We've still got a competition to win.

[somber music playing]

[somber music continues playing]

[sighs]

[knocking]

You in, you no.

What?! What are you...

- [huffs]
- [knocking]

[rapid knocking]

[huffs]

Do you really think
I'd let you in after what you did?

What are you talking about?
I didn't do anything.

Didn't think to mention that
May was defecting?

I didn't know.

What about the fact that
she was copying my routine?

I didn't know.

That wasn't the routine
she was practicing back at the academy.

Uh-huh. You really expect us to believe
that Maya had said nothing?

You two have been buddy-buddy
since you picked her side last month.

I swear.

Why would I be silent about such a thing
when it affects all of us?

- [Tess sighs]
- [knocking]

[Kyra] Look, she's got a point.
Maybe we were a bit harsh.

[sighs]

[door slams]

[soft, downbeat music playing]

[sighing]

So, does anyone have any ideas?

[sighs] There's just no time
to start a whole new routine.

[knocking on door]

Again?

[door opens]

Maddy's here.

[sighs] Okay, girls,
everyone to their rooms, please.

We'll head down to the center early

and see what we can do
about changing your routine, Kyra.

We've still got a competition to win,
so let's get some sleep.

Okay?

Come on.

- [Kyra] Night, guys.
- [girls] Bye.

[soft, downbeat music continues]

[sighs]

[Maddy] The girls are all settled.

Hopefully, gonna try
and deal with it tomorrow.

[sighs heavily] Just...

[phone ringing]

It's Gale.

[takes call]

Hi, Gale. How you going?

Hello, Maddy. How's Sydney?

Ugh! Eventful, so far.

Listen, I'll make this as fast as I can.

With your program reaching
its final week this week,

the school has been reviewing
your expenditure

for the Gymnastic Academy.

And we've noticed that
you've gone over your budget.

Um, I...

As I understand,

you flew in and housed

four interstate judges over a month ago

without discussing this with the school.

Well, that's not helped your position.

We've maintained
an international student scholarship

against the wishes of the board.

And, well, on that note,
they would like me to remind you that...

Yes.

I know that the international gymnast

must place in the top five
at Nationals to gain the scholarship.

The board has decided
that if you don't have

an athlete qualifying
for the international scholarship,

they're gonna cut back the program.

It'll be just one coach and yourself
for the next three years.

[sighs]

Look, Maddy, I don't wanna scold you,

and I know that you don't need
more pressure on you and the team,

but it is what it is.

[Maddy sighs]

Thanks, Gale. It's not great news.
It's already been a tough day.

[Gale] Good luck to you and the girls.

Thanks. Bye.

[sighs heavily]

I... we... didn't know about
the top five finish for the scholarship.

Honestly, I didn't know
whether to say anything,

and, you know, I was so confident Kyra
or Maya would finish top five.

And the coaching contracts
I had no idea relied on the outcome.

I would have told you guys if I knew.

I was starting to feel maybe it'd be okay
if Kyra and Maya did the same routine,

but now I see why you were
so devastated at the news.

[Maddy sighs]

Kyra won't go top five
performing the same routine.

[sighs heavily]

[Jaimi sighs]

[somber music continues]

[indistinct chatter]

[awkward silence]

I put everything into that routine.

[sighs]

I choreographed it
exactly how the judges would want it.

Wait.

What did you say?

I choreographed it
exactly how the judges would want it.

Exactly as the judges would want it.

[exhales] That's it.

[all together] What?

Oof, it would be tough, but I think
I might just be able to pull it off.

What?

Okay, remember what Sally
and Michelle said?

They were judging some college events

and are wanting
more adventurous routines here, right?

Well, Michelle said that she liked
our routine from the internal comp.

So, I can just do that routine
and add my new skill elements to it.

But the choreography...

Is adventurous.

I mean, Kyra knows the routine,
and it's what the judges want to see.

We can help you. Right, Scarlett?

We can do the moves from the side

and as long as we or the coaches
aren't calling out the next move,

there's no deductions, right?

Yeah.

Yeah!

Let's start rehearsing right now.

- One, two, three...
- Uh, let's just get it past Maddy first.

Ugh.

Come on.

[scoffs] Yeah, well, it's too bad
they don't teach loyalty over there.

Loyalty doesn't mean much when you're
competing at international levels.

Gabby's got real pull
with the national selectors.

Maddy has never quite made it
to the Olympics, has she?

World Senior Champion
and World Junior Champion.

Can you remind me what Gabby's done again?

Maddy actually injured her back
when Gabby was her coach.

Uh, I hope you guys have
good injury insurance.
