How is the team getting along this week?
Daniel is in the studio working on a solo he hopes will change Kate’s mind on the male soloist to perform at Nationals.
Meanwhile Kate catches up to Michelle to see if she and Amanda would mind manning a Next Step booth at their school to encourage more dancers to come to The Next Step.
She then asks other A-Troupers if they can mentor J-Troupers. Daniel asks if he can help mentor, but Kate requests that he just continue to rest his ankle.
Back in the studio, the mentoring has begun and Giselle is mentoring Becca, Emily is mentoring Richelle and James is mentoring Josh.
Amanda and Michelle are handing out flyers in their school when Tess (a dancer from Elite) begins to make fun of them. They stand their ground and Tess eventually backs off.
Chloe is working with Kate when Daniel asks to speak with her. He wants a rematch for solo. Kate says no!
At school, Michelle approaches Tess to defend Amanda. As she leaves, Tess opens The Next Step pamphlet she got and sees a note from Amanda to meet her at 4 p.m.
James is using drumming lessons to help Josh “feel the rhythm” in hopes he can connect better with the music when he’s dancing.
Meanwhile Daniel walks into Kate’s office with an ultimatum; either he gets the solo for Nationals or he leaves the studio. Kate holds her ground and in the end says goodbye to Daniel.
The A-Troupers are just about to rehearse when Kate delivers the news. The group is shocked! They can’t lose anyone else or they wont have any alternatives.
Its 4 o’clock, Amanda is meeting up with Tess. It turns out she’s been with Elite this whole time! Everything she has done has been faked, including the crying! She is trying to ruin The Next Steps chances at going Nationals.
Will The Next Step discover Amanda’s plans before it’s too late? Find outnext week on THE NEXT STEP, Friday at 7:30 p.m. on Family Channel!
