Previously on Make it or Break it.
You're banging your secretary? It's Emily Kmetko, the scholarship kid.
Mystery woman over here.
What go you got? Some big, old secret life? - No.
but, I keep myself busy.
- You don't wrap your hands? When I'm flying through the air, Everything else in my life completely disappears I spend every waking minute Thinking of ways that we can be together.
So far, no one knows that Marty's been lost.
Houston knows.
They want payson.
We've been friends for 10 years.
We did everything together.
Why didn't you tell me about you and Carter? Because, it's not true.
T-5 T-5 Kaylie.
You want to stop dragging your butt and get over here! I need to chalk up, dad.
T- minus-five means my truck in five minutes, remember? Sorry, somebody beat me to the chalk box.
I was freezing out there.
Guess we have to find a better means of Communication than a coeven bulk of chalk.
Gotta go.
Cambria,California Kaylie.
We have got to get more height on that shushunova.
- Yep.
- Keep those legs straight.
Ok.
I thought Bela Karolyi Was a slave driver.
I swear if my father doesn't find a real coach soon I'm gonna join the carnival.
We're gonna need work permits, tattoos and gypsy names.
Ok, no one is joining the carnival.
Easy for you to say.
You've have gyms begging for you.
Yeah, but it's not like I want to go.
I know.
I just I don't think I can do this alone if you end up in Houston.
Sure you can.
So, what happens if we don't have a coach? Can we not go to nationals? Without a star coach You just won't be seen the same way.
Kaylie! It's not called practice for nothing.
- Let's see your beam.
- I swear, I'm going to lose it.
Coming.
Excuse me! Mr.
Belov? Mr.
Belov? Steve Tanner.
I'm sorry for just showing up like this.
But, I've tried to contact you and The reason I didn't return your call Is I have no interest in your offer.
Look, it's been five years Since you dropped out.
You're fading into obscurity.
For a man of your talents, that's gotta be hard to watch.
Not if you don't watch.
You expect me to believe that The coach who reinvented the sport Doesn't even watch it anymore? I don't know you Mr.
Tanner So I don't expect you to believe anything.
The truth is, I have no interest in gymnastics I haven't for many years.
That's that.
You assembled what is perhaps The greatest team in the history of sport.
I think you can do it again.
And I'm prepared to offer you whatever Money it takes to make that happen.
You think I left England to compete In Romania because I want money? Who do I look like, David Beckham? Yes, actually, you kinda do.
I'm sorry you wasted your time, Tanner.
All right.
Tell your daughter Lauren she's piking her layouts.
It's costing her at least a tenth of a point.
I thought you stopped watching gymnastics? You don't fish, do you, Tanner? - No, I - It wasn't a question.
See, fishing is all about finding the right lure.
And that club team you had back at the Rock That was the best I've seen in a decade.
And then you took your daughter and My old friend Marty Walsh to Denver Look.
That's That's just it, I can get rid of Marty in Denver and I'm not interested in Denver.
If the rock was still together, We might have had something to talk about.
You see, Tanner, When you broke those giris up You lost your lure.
Excuse me.
Drive, Kaylie.
Kaylie, push through.
Oh, you've got to throw your head back on that ring leap! Don't forget to smile! I gotta see teeth! I can't focus with you yelling at me.
And this is not a toothpaste commercial! Gee, I hope, uh Hope we haven't come at a bad time? What the hell are you doing here? Now don't be that way.
I come bearing gifts.
Yeah, well you can get back on The Trojan Horse you rode in on.
Because we don't need anything from you.
Ah, but you do my friend.
You need a coach.
And I just happen to have the best in the business.
No way we're letting Lauren back.
If someone doesn't hold me back, She's gonna get my heel up her bleach blonde head.
I'm not holding you back.
There's no way we take you or Marty back.
Who said anything about Marty? Oh, my god.
Oh, my god.
Is that? Sasha Belov.
Make it or Break it S01E03 You think you can waltz back in here like nothing Happened just because you have Sasha Belov? Ah, yeah, Alex.
I'm offering you a world class coach, people.
You should be kissing my feet.
It'll be a cold day in hell before I kiss anything of yours.
Now you're just hurting my feelings.
Come on gentlemen, this isn't productive.
What happened to Marty and Denver? Look, Lauren misses her friends here at the Rock.
These giris should be together It's Sasha Belov.
What is there to discuss? This is awesome.
Not if Lauren 's part of the package.
- Who cares? It's Sasha Belov! - I care.
Whatever happened to your foot upside her head? Kaylie! It's Sasha Belov! How do we know the next time Your daughter stomps her feet That you won't leave and take this coach with you? So, that's what it was about My daughter throwing a temper? That's exactly what it was about.

Sasha's the coach who'll get them there.
So in the meantime Can't we all just get along? - Does the man speak? - Shhh.

You've chosen to do something few people are capable of.
Look at each other.
Go on, look.
No one but your peers can understand what it takes To be the best gymnasts in the worid.
No one.
Which is why you need each other.
But mostly You need me.
I have a few simple rules.

We have only 49 days until nationals.
And you will spend every waking moment of it in this gym.
Together.
Go home and say goodbye to your lives as you know it.

I'd love to go.
Lauren's daddy may Have bought her way back to the Rock.
But she's not buying her way back into our group.
Oh, you don't have to buy me my drink by the way, I know you just invited me to piss Lauren off.
- No.
- We didn't.
It's fine.
I'm happy to be of service.
Cann't get over how amazing it is.
I know, she's got a lot of nerve following us around.
No.
I was talking about Sasha Belov! We just went from having no coach To having the best coach in the worid.
Who hasn't coached in five years.
And who wants us to eat, sleep and bleed gymnastics.
- This is gonna be - Awesome.
Happy birthday, Lauren.
Thank you.
Oh, that's right.
Today's Lauren's birthday.
My dad's taking me to Le Privilege tonight.
That little French place in the foothills? Swanky.
We always do something special.
Just the two of us.
I feel sort of bad.
We used to celebrate all of our birthdays together.
Whatever.
Don't feel bad.
It's not our fault that she's not our friend anymore.
As if uber-coach wasn't stressful enough, Now we gotta train with the bitch of the beam.
It sounds like Sasha's gonna be on us like bad spray tan.
I'm already maxed out in the pressure department.
- I need a vacation.
- Check it out.
Here you go, lovelies.
You are cordially invited.
- We're not interested.
- Who says? Blast off? What's that? Only the biggest kegger of the year.
­Music, bands and all the beer you can drink.
It's gonna be dope! Sounds awesome.
Thanks.
Let's go.
We just ordered.
To the kegger, Payson.
No.
No.
We cannot go to a kegger.
Why not? It's Saturday night.
Our lives aren't over until Monday.
Come on.
Let's go do something fun for once! What's fun about a party? Oh, my god.
I cannot believe you just said that.
Have you ever even been to a high school party? - No.
- Have you? Um, yeah, a few.
- What's it like? - Well Music, dancing They can be a lot of fun.
And they can be stupid.
We could definitely use some fun.
That's exactly what we don't need.
What if we got caught? By who? By our new coach.
- And how would he find out? - Thank you.
I'm just so sick of jumping through hoops I can scream.
Don't you wonder what it would be like to go to a big party? Yeah and I'm happy to keep waiting Until I'm at the Olympic village.
No, Payson.
This is our last chance to do something like this.
- Forget it.
- Fine.
I'll go by myself.
Or Emily, we can go together.
I mean, since you have experience and all.
Come on, lets blow it out before our lives are over.
Ok, yeah.
I'll go.
I haven't checked out the scene in Boulder.
Yes! This is gonna be off the chain! Ok, I'll go.
But just to keep The two of you guys out of trouble.
This is gonna be so awesome! We're gonna party like the rock stars.
Do you get it? - The Rockstar - Yeah, we get it.
I'm totally screwed.
Fine thanks, how was your day? What? Oh, you go.
Well, the good news is we have a new coach.
And not just any coach.
The coach.
Sasha Belov.
Wow.
And the bad news? He wants us to train seven days and nights a week.
- How am I gonna work? - Well At least Ronnie Cruz got mom a job.
Yeah.
For as long as it lasts.
What are you doing? Well, I'd like to say surfing the web But I think someone forgot to pay the phone bill.
What? Merry Christmas! It's June.
Well, it's better late than never! - You went shopping? - Not just for myself.
For you.
Voila! Oh yeah!? It's getting hot in here? Whoo! And for you my little star gazer October sky! Your favorite movie! No, no, no.
You need to take all of this stuff back.
Why? Because we can't even pay the phone bill! And you've been working for exactly one day.
Somebody needs to be responsible around here.
Sasha Belov is an egomaniac.
Aren't they all? "As a gymnast he won, in'96, the gold.
" Guess who he beat that year? The great Marty Walsh? Bingo.
But apparently he was an even better coach.
Until he dropped out for reasons unknown.
They say he's the James Bond versión Of Bela Karolyi.
I will never forget Karolyi Yelling at Kerrie Strugg "You can do it!" When she had a broken ankle.
Or James Bond skiing off the cliff In The Spy Who Loved Me.
I don't want that to be our little girl.
She's not all that little.
Do you ever think she was a normal teenager I'm just going to be up front.
I'm going to a high school party tonight.
Kaylie's driving and I'm not drinking.
But if she does I'll make sure I get a designated driver to bring us home.
So Can I go? - Yes.
- Yes.
But be home by - Eleven.
- Thirty.
If you need us to come get you just call - I know the drill, dad.
- All right.
Well, have fun.
I doubt it.
She's going to a party.
Look at us.
We're almost normal.
I need refuge.
My room's too close to the living room and Dad's yelling at old footage of himself playing baseball.
Ok, just, close the door.
Ok.
I have something to ask you But you gotta promise not to say anything.
How can I answer your question if I promise not to say anything? You know what I mean.
All right Is this the right outfit to wear to a kegger? You're going to blast off? You know about blast off? It was a big deal even way back in my day.
Sweet.
All right.
What do you think? You look fine.
Listen, I'm serious.
Boys after four things at the kegger, Brew and booty.
Then more booty and even more brew.
And you deserve better than that.
Leo.
I'm a worid class athlete, I think I can handle a few drunken boys.
Carter cell.
I need to kiss you.
I can be outside your window in thirty.
Or inside your window in thirty- five.
Dad all over me.
Tomorrow night? Maybe I can sneak out? Did you tell lover boy you're going to a kegger? I don't want to hurt his feelings.
And I just need a night of no pressure.
So - He's pressuring you? - No.
No.
Of course not.
He's super supportive And totally understands I'm not ready to have sex.
Too much information? It's cool.
Just because I'm your brother doesn't mean We can't talk about These things.
However if he lay a hand on you before you are ready I'll rip his heart out.
Where's mom? She went to take her stuff back.
We have to be able to pay the bills, Brian.
Yeah, I know.
It's ok.

So what do we do now, just stand here? We get beer.
Right? I'm not drinking.
I think we're aware of that, Payson.
Thanks.
Where's the keg? Probably at the end of that long line Of people holding empty cups.
No, I did not come here to wait in line.
Do you think there's more than one keg? Why don't you guys look over there.
- I¡¦ll wait in line here.
- Yeah.
Ok.
Wait.
Do you think it's a good idea to split up? Don't worry, if you're not back in ten minutes, I'll call the national guard.
Daddy, this is perfect.
This is one of the best traditions we have.
I love my birthday dinner.
Oh, you can take away this third place setting.
It's just gonna be the two of us.
Actually, I invited Summer to join us.
- What? - Honey, it's your birthday.
You don't want to celebrate Just with your boring old dad.
Besides, I'd really like you to get to know Summer.
What's to know? She's your secretary.
And she's practically my age.
It's not like you're going to marry her.
- You're not going to marry her.
- No.
I mean, we don't know where it's going But she's a wonderful woman And I enjoy her company.
And, look I would really appreciate it If you gave her a chance.
Daddy, I don't believe you.
She totally has you fooled.
What makes her different than all the Other women you've blow through? She's just different.
For one thing, she's smart.
For another, her faith is really important to her.
Are you falling for that? How much of a Christian could she be? I mean, please.
The woman wears Dolce & Gabbana.
And there she is.
Be nice.
Hi, honey.
Thanks for coming.

We have one of those too.
I believe this belongs to you.
Wait.
Wait.
Wait.
How could you possibly know that? My mom has a thing for musicians.
Who have things for rock 'n roll trivia, And they share a generosity.

Thank you, daddy.
Dad buys me a new charm for my birthday Every year.
- Isn't that great? - It is.
You know, it's actually appropriate that Summer is here.
The whole charm bracelet idea was hers In the first place.
Talk about great taste.
She picked out all those charms.
I'll be right back.
I only helped him pick them out really.
He just needed a little feminine guidance.
You know how men are.
So, let me get this straight.
For the past few years, all the special gifts my father Has given me have actually come from you? Well, he paid for them.
Money's easy for my dad.
He's rich.

Who's fault is that? Mine.
I guess.
But Kaylie wasn't there for me, When the new girl showed up.
She was just all about herself.
