Previously on Dance Academy...
You trying to bribe the judge?
No.
I think I need an estimate of how long you're gonna hate me.
I don't know.
Can I help you fellas?
That guy in the shop, he's my father.
You were too young to be tied down to a wife and kids.
Is that why you left?

In pas de deux, there are trust exercises they make us do,
which is a bit sad,
because if trust was a given, then you wouldn't need exercises.
Please, Abigail. Come on.
You'd believe someone when they say it.
Must you whine like that? There's plenty of hot water left.
Abigail!
And be able to tell the truth in every situation.
Have you told your friends about us?
I didn't think it was a secret.
No, it isn't... anymore.
In pas de deux,
it's usually fear that stops you from trusting your partner...
unless they've dropped you before.
Hi.
Then it's learning from experience.
Ah. What's your schedule like today?
Uh, first up, inappropriate PDA - tick.
And then avoid being run over by a dude who can't read
'pedestrians only'.
Hey. It's not a bad place if you live in the city.
What are you doing here?
I thought... Didn't I text you? No.
Oh. Well, I thought I'd take some time off...
I'm gonna take a wild stab. You're Christian's...
This is Raf. Oh, right. Well, I'm Kat.
It's nice to meet you. You too.
I should probably find a car park or something.
There is one down there. We can show you if you like.
Ah, no, we've got to get to class. We're running a bit late, so...
Well, we should catch up later, if that's alright.
and Kat was there introducing herself in, like, a girlfriend capacity.
And I was fine about it.
Congratulations, Chicken. We have closure.
Exactly.
I miss Kat and I think she misses me,
so now things can go back to the way they were.
Christian, you are killing me.
That is a fraction of what you're capable of.
Right, I think we all need something
to get us over this mid-semester slump.
So this weekend,
you're going to be learning circus skills from seasoned pros.
The weekend, including Sunday?
Why would you desecrate our one day off?
It's gonna teach you about trusting your bodies
and trusting each other...
stuff which I think is very important for you guys.
I'll see you tomorrow.
Um, guys, boarding house, six o'clock, important announcement.
Sammy, I have to sort out this thing.
It's cool. You've lived it.
Uh, Abigail. Yeah?
Uh, no excuses, OK?
Mate, I, uh, wasn't feeling a whole lot of enthusiasm back there.
You're going to have to lift it up a notch
if you plan on winning the Nationals.
Winning?
Then representing Australia at the Prix.
That's what I'm thinking,
but I'm gonna need some help from your end.
Thanks for being so prompt, guys. Is popcorn appropriate?
So I wanted to tell you, the inner sanctum,
before you found out through anybody else.
Uh...
- I'm seeing Ollie. - Yay!
I'm so proud of you. And he is gorgeous.
I knew it. I have the best gaydar. You have no 'dar'.
And I didn't say I was gay. I just have a boyfriend.
Kind of hetero-flexible. Cool.
I can't believe I wasted studio time for this.
OK, so who asked who out? I'm suffering details deprivation.
I can't believe you're all accepting it so easily.
Tara, are you shocked, 'cause you're looking kind of shocked.
I have always wanted a gay best friend.
Hey. What do you think?
It doesn't run yet, but it's yours if you want it.
You already got me a surfboard.
I don't think you can buy me 17 years of neglect.
Well, that's a relief, 'cause I don't have any money.
Nah, this is a mate of mine's and he's trying to get rid of it.
Do me a favour and see if you can start it?
Yeah, sure.
Yep. Put the clutch in there, kick down hard on there.
Right-o. Hop off for a sec.
How's school going?
Yeah, it's fine.
There's this teacher, Zach, he's got all these high expectations for me.
Wants me to be his personal project.
Yeah, I've never coped well with people like that.
Keep your expectations low, no-one ever gets disappointed.
I can't believe that was your first coming out.
I averaged one a week at the Royal.
Kat, um, we're doing this circus thing this weekend.
It sounds really fun.
Except I think it's for second years only, T.
No, Zach's all about inclusion. I'm sure we can win him over.
I mean, only if you wanna come.
Uh, yeah, yeah.
I'm sure I have a sequined leotard somewhere. See you tomorrow.
Hey, who let you guys in here?
Everyone meet Charlie, acrobat and...
wife extraordinaire.
Nice work, Zach.
Well, I'm gonna be more like your flight attendant this weekend.
Your safety's my first priority. Any questions?
Ballet kids - no idea what they're in for.
What?! Huh!
Wow.
Yep. Use those arms.
Yep. Oh, boys, looking great.
Just make sure that's always tight.
Nice, nice. Hold it. Lovely, Grace.
It's just the same as walking.
That's great, guys. Remember your core strength.
Oh, my tummy's already cramping.
Snap. We're in sync.
That happens, doesn't it, Sammy? What?
You get your period the same time as your best friend.
Best? Only anecdotally.
It's never been proven.
Wait. Why are you asking me that?
OK, Ben, Christian, you guys come with me, alright?
Me too, Zach?
Uh, ladies, you're outside with Charlie.
Wow.
So, the trapeze.
Trapeze is all about the bond that you have with your flier.
Now, this connection is vital,
because when you're performing without a net,
you're putting your neck in someone else's hands.
You should go up there with Grace.
Oh, I doubt we're that compatible, connectivity-wise.
You have heaps in common. You're both... Blonde.
You'll like her once you spend more time with her.
OK, so who's gonna be my first pair?
Yeah? Um, Grace, you can be catcher.
Come on.
No trapeze for you?
I'm not interested in teamwork.
Hey, what do you think it means when they equate me with hula hoops?
Look, I'd try and psyche you out, but...
it's unnecessary.
Have another go.
Can't I be on that. Like, this is boring.
Have you ever heard of Philippe Petit?
No.
The man hooked a cable up between the New York Twin Towers,
walked it for 45 minutes with no harness,
104 stories up.
And, uh, since you said it was boring,
you can keep going till you get to the other side.
Hey.
Yeah, now is a good time.
Oh.
Alright. OK. Alright, that's good, Grace.
I am a fruit bat.
It's all about timing, OK?
It's a big leap. Here we go.
Don't you trust me?
Ooh.
Harness wedgie. Sorry.
I see you made it across the tightrope.
Uh, yeah. I grew as a person.
No. I'm not gonna be able to cross that.
That's the thing. I think you will.
You just need to commit yourself.
Christian, your dad... Uh, Raf's here.
G'day. I'm Zach. Hey.
Uh, you're welcome to stick around and watch if you like.
No, we've got some family things to do today.
Yeah. I might drag him away for the afternoon, if that's cool.
Of course. I'll see you tomorrow. Great.
Great, guys.
Thanks. It's been a long time since I've wagged school.
You got it running? Yeah.
I'll take you wherever you wanna go.
Or we could do something.
OK.
Make sure you push with your feet, guys.
Take the pressure off your knees.
Zach. Zach. Yeah.
I wanna do that.
What, the no-wrap set? Mate, that's too advanced for you.
I know I used to be weedy. I acknowledge that.
But I've been working out. Yeah, I know.
You just have different skills. What about juggling?
Mate, you were born to be a clown. Juggling?
Isn't this meant to be about extending ourselves?
Alright, how are you with heights? Yeah, mad for them.
Can't get enough.
Come on, T. You're literally leaving me hanging.
Whoops. Sorry. Sorry.
I thought you were all about the flying.
I am. Oh, the little petal was scared?
Of course she's scared, Grace. She had a broken back.
And do you really have to talk in that voice?
Kat. Sorry.
It's just, as the best friend,
you'd think she'd understand why you might be worried
about getting injured.
Grace does understand. She was there for me through all of it.
Yeah, unlike you, who made it worse.
And there it is.
Ha. Great jump to my defence, T.
Kat...
Have you forgiven me, or is this just punishment in close proximity?
I'm sorry. I honestly thought that if I was over Christian...
But it's what you did.
One kiss.
You guys were broken up.
No, you liked him the whole time I was with him,
and before that, you lied to me.
I wanna forgive you, but... But you can't.
So... so, what? We're never gonna be friends again?
I guess not.
I can't.
It's OK. Just fall like I taught you.
He's having a moment.
Relax. Unwind, so to speak.
Yeah, why don't I just plummet to my death?
Sammy, you were the one that begged to do this.
Really? He hates heights. He hates heights.
Wow.
You still breathing? Come on.
Apart from the lady screams, that was impressive.
Just get away from me, alright?
So how do you get your learner's permit for a bike?
Well, you've got to do a written test first.
I could take you tomorrow, if you want.
I remember when I first got my license.
I took this trip down to Tassie.
Thinking about getting back down there in November.
November? Mm-hm.
I finish second year around then.
Zach thinks I'll be in this big competition final, but, you know...
That doesn't sound too bad.
Yeah, but it's, like, way more pressure than I'm keen on.
Tassie could be cool.
Yeah. Yeah, if you wanted to come.
For sure.
Kat.
Hey.
Yeah, I'm just handing out with... my dad.
Hey. You know Ness and Will?
What do you think of our chory assessment?
Hey, can I just talk to you for a second?
Sure.
Will's organising a futsal team if you're keen...
Yeah, I wasn't ready to tell our friends about us.
OK. Did they take it badly?
It's irrelevant.
You should have asked me before making it public.
OK, I know this is a big deal for you,
but trust me, it's better to rip off the bandaid.
You don't want to be sneaking around.
Yeah, well, maybe I was comfortable with the bandaid.
You know, a bit of time
to figure out whether I wanted to alter my entire life.
But no, thank you for deciding that for me.
It's premature anyway.
Shortest relationship ever.
You should come watch me get my learner's today.
Help me cheat.
Um, no, no. You spend time with your dad.
Does that sound weird? 'My dad'?
It sounds awesome.
And, um, you're right to go back to the circus?
I'm not gonna be pushed out.
Running away and joining the circus
has always been my back-up plan, so...
So I've heard. Alright. I gotta go. Bye.
Good luck. Thanks.
You've been quiet on the love front lately.
Anybody in your sights? Why?
Well, I broke up with Ollie last night,
so we're both available, you know.
What is wrong with you at the moment?
Nothing.
Oh. OK. So you don't see me as a contender now either.
I go out with a guy for half a second,
and suddenly, I'm not one of the guys anymore.
I'm Sensitive Sammy.
Wake up, Lieberman. That's who you've always been.
I have?
Yeah, that was until you sat me down...
your ex-girlfriend...
in front of a room full of people to tell me you now have a boyfriend.
Like, without any consideration how that would affect me.
Suddenly not so sensitive.
You don't get dibs on feeling betrayed, Tara.
Please, can we just not... Yes.
I liked Christian all that time, OK, but I tried to make it go away
because hurting you is the equivalent of cutting off my own arm.
But that doesn't go both ways, does it?
YOU are the one that ended our friendship,
like it never meant anything,
so you don't get dibs on feeling betrayed.
Hey, Christian.
I ran into Raf in the car park. He asked me to give you this.
Hey. Good, you caught me. Yeah.
Uh, look. Uh, I didn't want to get in the way.
I know you've got a lot to do.
I guess it wouldn't involve getting my learner's today, would it?
Yeah, look, I'm not the best teacher.
Sorry, it's just... Sydney's a bit full-on.
Sure.
If I'm doing something this summer, I'll give you a text, alright?
When I broke my back,
there was a good chance the fracture might never heal...
I'm not gonna drop you.
And a very small chance
that the bone would end up stronger than it was before.
Got you, T. I know.
Then another break happened,
and the odds must have been on my side,
because I no longer have a best friend.
I have something stronger.
A sister...
who I would trust with my life.
I think that's why we do trust exercises.
Ollie, wait up.
Because most of the time, the problem isn't only with the other person.
My friends, they weren't...
They weren't shocked or outraged.
That was... that was only me.
I just don't wanna be someone who had a boyfriend.
Sammy, dude, you never had a boyfriend.
You had an Ollie. Stop making him sound generic.
Did you just talk about yourself in the third person?
So we're good, right?
We're good.
The hardest part of pas de deux
is trusting yourself to trust someone else.
Zach...
stop trying to make me your project.
I don't need you telling me to win Nationals
'cause that's just not me, alright?
Sure. Except you came all the way over here to say that.
Maybe I'm not cut out to commit to anything.
Maybe I just want to walk away from all of it.
I don't think so, mate. I don't think that's you at all.
Just one foot in front of the other.
Just focus on the end. Focus on the end.
That's it.
You need someone there to steady you,
to put their faith in you
so you can be...
extraordinary.
