This week on THE NEXT STEP, we saw plenty of drama to match the episode’s title, “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart”. The dancers in studio B were left wondering if Chloe would tell Emily and the rest of the E Girls about Michelle’s alternate routine. With all the commotion around the dance studio, the others start to get suspicious.
Stephanie even tells Emily that she saw the other dancers together. Alarm bells go off in Emily’s head, especially when she realizes that Riley lied about going to a movie last night. Emily knows something is up…
Meanwhile, Eldon talks to the other guys about his “relationship” with Emily. James thinks that Eldon will never get a chance and that the whole thing is just in his head.
Emily confronts Riley and asks her about the movie. Riley is vague and says she went to see a musical, but Emily can tell she’s lying.
During rehearsal, Wes messes up and accidentally does some moves from Michelle’s routine instead. He tries to cover it up by saying that he made the mistake because he was so amped up about Emily’s choreography.
Emily decides to be really nice to Eldon in an attempt to get some more information out of him. Emily even gives him a hug! Eldon is clearly overjoyed and the other dancers are super confused and curious about what’s going on between the two of them.
When Emily snaps at Chloe again, Chloe announces she is fed up with Emily’s behaviour. She knows it isn’t going to get any better and decides to secretly join the other dancers. Is Emily’s reign as dance captain finally coming to an end?
Michelle is worried about Eldon and thinks that he is going to get hurt. Michelle talks to him about it, but Eldon gets defensive, saying that what Emily and him have is real.
Daniel injured his ankle and isn’t able to perform his solo full out. Emily notices, but Daniel doesn’t want to say anything and risk losing his solo. With more dancers getting fed up with Emily’s bossy attitude, it seems like only a matter of time before the entire team crosses over to Michelle’s side.
Eldon surprises Emily with a grand gesture. He brings in a boom box with handwritten caption cards to spell out his feelings. Unfortunately, he looks like a fool and to make matters worse, his music starts skipping. In the end, Emily doesn’t appreciate his grand gesture. When he finally asks, “Emily, will you be my girlfriend?” Emily says she will never be his girlfriend, adding that it was the most embarrassing moment of her life.
After Eldon is humiliated in front of everyone, Michelle goes to comfort him. She also realizes it’s the perfect time to show Eldon her dance routine. Eldon is upset with Emily and it could be just the thing to get him on their side.
When Stephanie goes to find Chloe and bring her back to Studio A, she sees the other dancers rehearsing a mysterious dance and immediately reports back to Emily.
Emily declares that’s it’s time to take Michelle’s side down. But with strength in numbers, will Emily be able to stop the team from overthrowing her as dance captain?
The drama is really starting to heat up on this show! You’ll definitely want to watch THE NEXT STEP on Friday at 7 p.m. ET/PT on Family Channel to see what happens next!
