Synopsis[]
The CAMDA qualifiers arrive. Alya faces her stage fright.
Plot[]
With the CAMDA qualifiers underway, Frances is insistent on having Miles and Alya sing duet despite Alya's ultimatum, though Miles chooses to honor the ultimatum and sing backup. Alya's mother comes to support her daughter, but that becomes a distraction while Alya gets further criticism from Frances about needing to grow up. With Alya's mother in the audience, she freezes on her solo, unable to sing a note.
As the Primas perform their qualifier routine, Cassandra gets distracted when Aidan, her boyfriend, leaves the auditorium with Scarlett. She ends up stealing Vanessa's choreography, which had been set for Mindy's solo. Despite the setback, with Vanessa's coaching, Mindy gains confidence with an improvised dance for her qualifier. Aidan explains to Cassandra that he needed to be with George while she was dancing, leading to a break in their relationship.
Cassandra reveals to Vanessa that she was the one who sent the video documenting the sprinkler incident to Principal Durani, as a test of Vanessa and Carly's close friendship. Upon confronting Carly about this news, and upset she could keep something that important from her, Vanessa wonders where Carly's loyalty stands, with her or Cassandra, and feels she can no longer trust her enough for them to stay friends.
