It’s crunch time for Jen, and Zeak takes the limelight when another dancer is injured.

Jen wants to prove she’s fit enough to make her stage debut, and Zeak is unexpectedly thrust into the limelight when the troupe is a man down.

It’s been almost two weeks since new dancer Zeak started his training in Paris, and his debut performance is only a few days away. But unbeknownst to him, one of the male dancers has been injured in training, and they urgently need Zeak to step up.

Meanwhile, with just 24 hours before La grande soirée, creative director Janet must rethink all the choreography after the stage is revealed to have only a single entrance and exit. And British recruits Jen and Erin are coming to the end of their three-week probation period, with one last rehearsal for them to prove that they’re ready for their stage debut.
