After all the fun they had last week, it’s time for The Next Step dancers to start really focusing on regionals.
Michelle is dancing in the studio by herself, trying to release all the emotions she is feeling towards Eldon. Eldon walks in because he really wants to talk to Michelle and see where her head is at now. But Michelle is still convinced that if Eldon breaks up with Emily, it will tear the team apart. Eldon tells Michelle that if she wants it to be over, it’s over. As Michelle is about to explain herself to Eldon, the rest of the dancers walk in and interrupt her. Michelle is shocked that Eldon isn’t fighting for her, she thought what they had was really strong.
Meanwhile, Kate arrives with the boxes containing their costumes for regionals! Once they open the boxes to reveal pirate hats with fur, they know something is up. These were definitely not the costumes they ordered! With Regionals only a few days away, the dancers are worried that they won’t have their costumes in time.
Rehearsal is just about to begin, when Stephanie gets a call. Emily, being Stephanie’s best friend, picks up her phone. Stephanie is upset because she doesn’t want everyone knowing that the filming for the television show she will be guest appearing on is the same week as regionals. Stephanie now has to confess and the group is shocked! Stephanie has to make a very tough decision; guest star on a show but let all her friends down or go to regionals and give up a great opportunity.
Kate is in her office trying to figure out what happened to their costumes for regionals. She discovers that they ended up in Arkansas and are being shipped to The Next Step right away. The only problem is no one knows when they will get there. Costumes are a huge part of the performance and Michelle is really worried. Emily suggests that they go to the costume cupboard because there will be thousands upon thousands of costumes to choose from.
In the costume cupboard, the dancers find a mishmash of all types of costumes; grapes, cows and princesses. They have a lot of fun trying everything on, but alas they don’t find anything suitable for regionals.
Back at the studio, Giselle enters carrying bags of clothes from her uncle’s vintage shop. A few pieces look like they might work, but when the troupe starts to dance they realize that all of the clothes are way too big! This was their last option, so they can only hope that their costumes will arrive on time.
Later on, Eldon is dancing and Michelle decides to confront him then and there. She is finally ready to tell Eldon how she feels and she only hopes that he will still feel the same way. But Eldon is tired of waiting and he has moved on. Michelle is heartbroken!
Stephanie has finally made up her mind – she is coming to regionals! The group is overjoyed!
But it isn’t long before something complicates the situation again… The costumes were accidentally sent to Florida! Kate keeps this information from the dancers because they don’t need to be worried about anything but their dance.
We’ve got out fingers crossed that the costumes will be there in time for regionals! Find out by tuning into THE NEXT STEP on Family Channel, Fridays at 7pm ET!
