01x05 - All in This Together

[bunniefuu]

Hey, you guys.

Uh, I'm heading back to training.

[sighs] I still cannot believe that
Scarlett tackled me like that.

Honestly, she's literally the worst.

What is her problem?

I have no clue how Maya puts up with her.

[scoffs]

Unfortunately, I haven't seen Bradley
since the accident,

but we have exchanged a few text messages.

[chuckles] Look,
I don't wanna get distracted,

but he is super cute.

[chuckles]

Look, I'll talk to you guys later,
but keep me updated and I love you all.

Bye.

[upbeat theme music playing]

[downbeat music playing]

[panting]

Looks good. See? That's fine.

- Yep.
- Looking good.

So, there's no damage.
I'm all good to train.

[sighs]

How are you feeling, though?

[sighs heavily]

I feel like I'm back at day one
when I first started here.

[sighs] Look, Maddy, I... I know
you said we couldn't,

but I could really, really do with
all those after-school sessions again.

I'm sorry, Kyra. You know I can't do that.

But you should really speak to Jaimi.

He'll have exercises
that can help with your recovery. Okay?

[mouths] Yeah.

[sighs]

Kyra, I just wanna say that I'm sorry...

I'm not interested.

I don't wanna hear
anything you have to say.

I don't want you to be anywhere near me.

Okay?

Leave me alone.

[sighs] I was just trying to apologize.

Again.

Fine!

If that's how you want it to be.

[Maddy] All right.

We have organized an internal competition

which will take place in seven days.

Girls, to make sure that there is no bias,

we will be flying in
some experienced guest judges.

This is the last internal competition
before Nationals,

so we really want you guys
to work together

and take your skills to the next level.

Before we get started,

we've divided you guys into three groups.

Can I please have Tess with Jaimi?
Kyra with Jaimi.

Come on, Alkira.

- [Maddy] Scarlett with Jaimi.
- What?

Seriously?

- But Maya and I've already started...
- With Jaimi, please, Scarlett.

Li, Tarni, and Farah,
you girls will be with me.

And Rosie, Alkira, Liz, and Maya,

you girls will be working with Vicky.

Your knee better not bring
our team's score down.

Well, if it does, we know exactly
who to blame for that.

Your attitude better not
bring the team down.

Look, I'll do the high-difficulty skills,

and you two stick to the easy moves
and compulsories

so we don't get too many deductions.

This competition is all about
utilizing each other's strengths.

You guys must work together
to choreograph a floor routine

that each group member must perform.

What if a teammate
can't perform the routine?

Then that team loses points.

Mm-hmm.

[scoffs]

- [sighs in disappointment]
- [school bell rings]

[Ms. Claver] I'm collecting
your homework from last week.

Thanks.

Come on, girls.

Thank you.

I'm sorry, miss.

We've been training
for a crucial match this weekend.

I didn't have time.

You didn't have time.

How many hours a week
do you train football?

Ten hours.

And soccer players?

Fifteen.

- [Ms. Claver] Track and field students?
- Twenty.

[Ms. Claver] Gymnasts?

Thirty-three hours.

Would you care
to revise your excuse, Dylan?

Okay, what might be some drawbacks

for all this training
that the gymnasts do?

Injuries?

Yes. Elite gymnasts often train through
and around their injuries.

Anything else?

They're all really short.

Well, not all of them,
but generally speaking, yes. Why?

Aerodynamics?

[laughter]

I'm sure that's got something to do with
it. But I meant more physiologically.

Anyone?

Well, the intensity
of a gymnast's training

can sometimes affect their hormones,

meaning that full body development
such as puberty and growth spurts

can be significantly delayed.

It is really important that you look after
your bodies and your minds

in order to be
the best athletes that you can be,

which also means

completing your homework on time.

[Kyra] Thank you.

[indistinct student chatter]

We need to talk about the routines.

[scoffs] No, we don't.

Oh my God. She is so annoying.

[Tess] Oh yeah.

Why on earth would Maddy think

that putting us two together
would be a good idea?

Her and Jaimi are secretly taking bets
to see who kills the other one first.

- Don't worry. My money's on you.
- [laughs]

Hey, have you been having
any issues with Maya?

Not really. She seems to be focusing
all her attention on Rosie.

- The International Scholarship.
- Yeah.

Ugh. No good.

You need to find a way
to land on the other leg.

What if I did it the other way?

And turn your back to the judges? Bold.

The extra step to turn back around
could be penalized as a pause.

You two are going about this
totally wrong.

"Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn."

[Tess] Okay, mm, try this.

[Kyra] Okay.

["Shining Star" resumes playing]

[Kyra] I mean, it looked nice,

but it would still have me
landing on the wrong leg.

I need to take off for my next pass
with the other foot forward.

Otherwise, I'm gonna be
too far onto the mat.

Why don't we lose the aerial and add
a sequence that isn't affected by...

Why don't we not?

Ah, you can just go choreograph
the vault routine.

But the vault doesn't have choreography.

[Tess] Ha! Funny, that.

This exercise is
for all of you to work together.

[in Mandarin] She doesn't deserve
to be a part of the team.

Not after what she did last week.

[in Mandarin] Her actions
did not go unpunished.

[in English] Wow.
Talking behind my back to my face.

Real smooth.

Whatever her previous actions,
you'll both find that Scarlett

has a lot more to offer the team
than you currently realize.

[somber music playing]

[somber music continues playing]

[deep sigh]

Alkira, would you mind
reading this through for me?

Sure.

Thanks.

Um, are you okay?

You seem distracted.

Yeah.

I was just thinking about
what happened to Emma.

[Li sighs] Yeah. It came as a shock,

especially because
she was near the top of the leaderboard.

[sighs] Are you sure you're okay?

I think I'm just starting to feel
the pressure after last week.

Well, we can still see Emma
during the holidays.

[sighs] Yeah.

But for now,
let's finish off this homework.

Is there anything I can help you with?

Actually, yes.

[chuckles]

[laughing] Yes. So, in class...

It just felt a little uninspired.

Like it was missing something.

Well, how do we turn fine into amazing?

And please don't say "Scarlett."

- Katelyn.
- [Kyra] Who?

Katelyn? Who's...?

Did we pick up a new girl
while I wasn't looking?

Who do I introduce myself to?

Scarlett.

Scarlett is Katelyn.

Nope. Talk to Scarlett.

[sighs]

[Katelyn over laptop]
So make sure that every pose...

[Scarlett] Yeah...

[Tess clears throat]

Jaimi says that we have to talk to you

and that you might have some ideas

that can help us fix
our choreography for the comp.

I can't help you.

Well, we tried.

But...

I have someone else who can.

[Tess chuckles] Katelyn?

[excited] Katelyn Ohashi!

Hi, guys!

It's so nice to meet everyone.

- Oh my God!
- [both giggle]

Scarlett's actually been pitching me
some pretty fun ideas

that I think will make
all of your floor routines pop.

Okay. Now, let me see what you guys do.

["Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" playing]

Try things like moving

finishing completely
every single movement.

[girls] Yeah.

[girls] Oh!

Okay, remember,

you guys each have your own light.

So make sure that shines through
with every dance move

and make sure you make it you.

Yeah, that was really good.

Maybe try holding
your position a little bit longer

and maybe try different levels.

- Oh, my God!
- Yes, just like that one.

[girls giggle]

[Kyra] Yes!

Remember how we tried
that arm circle earlier?

Try something like that.

[Tess] So much better.

Oh yeah!

[Tess giggling]

[all laughing together]

Amazing! Just like that!

Okay, and Kyra,

maybe try landing with your feet

a little bit closer to the ground

and bending your knees
so you can absorb it.

That way, you can take some pressure
off of your knees and your body.

Oh my goodness. [chuckles]

Um...

[in Mandarin] Don't apply to
Dancing With the Stars!

[Kyra] She's awesome. [Exhales]

Kyra.

I just wanna say that I'm sorry
for what I did the other week.

[exhales] It was wrong. I was jealous.

I'm so, so sorry.

I don't wanna keep fighting with you,
okay? Let's talk after the comp.

Consider yourself on probation.

- For now.

Forty-three.

Forty-five. [Laughs]

Come on, you too.

Okay.

- [dramatic music playing]
- [Tess] Oh my God.

Cruella's in the house.

So much for unbiased judging.

Come on.

[sighing] Okay.

Gabby. I wasn't expecting to see you.

Julie had something come up last minute,

so I figured I'd take the opportunity
to see one of my most successful students

coaching the next generation.

It's good to see you again.

[chuckles]

Now, tell me,
which one of your girls is Scarlett?

That's amazing. I'm really impressed
with what you're doing.

[indistinct chatter]

I don't trust her.

Mm, she'll be a fair judge.

She's been doing it professionally
for years.

[Tess] Mm.

Still don't trust her,
and you obviously didn't

when you ditched her as your coach.

Just 'cause I don't agree
with her methods,

it doesn't change the fact
she's one of the most respected judges

and coaches in Australia.

[sighs]

I still don't trust her.

[tense music playing]

Neither do I.

["Gonna Make Some Noise" playing]

♪ This time I'm gonna leave it
All behind... ♪

I hope we don't go to Sydney
looking like this.

That would be so embarrassing.

I could've sworn
last year's class got a leotard.

[Li] You know,

I reckon we'd look pretty good
in the ones that you drew the other day.

[Maddy] All right, girls.

You are now in competition roles,

listening to your coaches
and supporting your teammates.

Okay?

We'll be watching and seeing

who can remain
the most professional while competing.

Good luck, girls. You can go...

[Gabby clears throat]

Maddy, if I may.

Now, it's come to our attention

that some gymnasts have become
a little too comfortable

when debating their scores
with the judges.

Now, you girls are being trained
to an international standard.

At that level, when gymnasts or coaches
would like to approach the judges,

there is a fee.

That's what's going to happen today.

Five hundred dollars if you would like to
approach a judge or ask for a review.

What?! That's ridiculous.

Who has five hundred dollars on them?

Girls, Gabby is correct.

This is what happens
at an international level.

Usually, a team has a reserve fund
for these situations.

But today, let's just not
create a situation

where we have to approach
the judges, all right?

Let's get started.

Oh no, Tess. Not again.

- I beg your pardon?
- Kyra's score. How come it's so low?

If you must know,

Kyra missed a compulsory move
from her routine.

- [Tess] What?
- So I deducted a full point.

That can't be right.

But we all did the same routine.

Scarlett and I didn't lose any points.

Are you suggesting that you should?

No.

We choreographed the routine to make sure

that all the compulsories were in it.

Is it possible that you maybe missed it?

I missed it?

Is it possible that you missed the move,

or at least changed it so much
that it was unrecognizable?

After all, you are the one
with the bad knee.

[breathes angrily]

Tess! What's going on?

Your gymnasts are once again suggesting

that the judges
are incapable of doing their jobs.

I had hoped that this was a habit
that their coach...

Tess.

...might have discouraged
at an elite level.

[Scarlett] Right there.
That's the move she didn't notice.

[Scarlett sighs]

Excuse me, Gabby.

I went through the footage
and Kyra definitely did all the moves.

If you could just please have a look.

I don't know if you weren't listening
or if you've just forgotten,

but if you would like to ask for a review,
there is a $500 fee.

So unless any of you girls
are willing to pay up,

I suggest we conclude this competition.

- [shouting angrily] But that's unfair!
- Tess!

[Tess huffs]

I'm sorry, Gabby. This won't happen again.

Thank you.

[somber music playing]

[sighs]

Cash or card?

What?

[Scarlett] I can do PayPal, Venmo, Zelle.

Whatever you prefer.

[Kyra exhales]

- What was that?
- What was what?

You waving your Gucci gold-plated card
around and paying for Kyra's review.

Gabby was criticizing my routine.

I wasn't having that.

I have a reputation to protect,
so I had to help out my friends.

Friends? Friends?!

What you've done, Scarlett,
is quite possibly handed your friend

a one-way ticket back to Mexico.

[Scarlett sighs]

[Maya] I know, you don't care looking down
from your fancy penthouse with nine spas,

but I can't go back.

I won't go back.

[Maya] I hope you enjoy
the feeling of betrayal.

[Scarlett sighs]

Hey, Scarlett, thank you.

Without your help, I would probably
be on a plane back home.

The least I could do after...

your knee.

[Kyra sighs]

Your choreography was pretty phenomenal.

- Four years of hip-hop class.
- [Kyra] What?

No way!

I always envisioned you of
more of a prima ballerina

than a hip-hop dancer.

[chuckles]

Hey, look, a group of us
are gonna wind down

with a handstand competition.

If you were interested in coming...?

Uh...

Sure.
