Backstage (2016) s02e11 Episode Script

[Bianca.]
Previously on Backstage We're over.
I'm sorry for sending that video of you and Carly setting off the sprinklers to Principal Durani.
Carly didn't tell you? You lied about the video.
You lied just at my face.
How am I supposed to trust another word you have to say ever again? There she is.
This is Cassandra, Aidan's girlfriend.
Hey, ready to go? There's something about this guy.
I think I like him, Kit.
This Manic Muscle thing you're doing is really dangerous.
[Sasha.]
Athletes do it all the time.
It's fine.
[Beckett.]
I've been watching you all day.
You cramped, you've been overexerting yourself and now this.
- [Sasha grunts.]
- [Vanessa.]
Ooh! Jenna.
She shifted.
I tried to break her fall.
What else could I do? Jenna! [Beckett.]
Someone get a medic.
Someone get a medic, hey! Two of our Grade 10 dancers will compete in the solo competition at the CAMDA finals Miss Jones and Miss Catto.
You can clap, people.
I'm so happy for Carly.
I want to forgive her, but I can't.
I'd also like to make special mention of Miss Morita, whose coaching allowed her student, Mindy Dobson, to move on to the finals.
- [softly.]
Go, Vanessa.
Go, Vanessa.
- [chuckles.]
I wanna hug V so much right now but I can't.
And last, the Keaton dancers moving forward in the duet category are Carly Catto and Beckett Bradstreet.
As well as Sasha Roy and Jenna Cristinziano.
Unfortunately, Miss Cristinziano will be unable to compete after suffering a concussion.
[softly.]
Poor Jenna.
Because of this accident An accident that never should've happened.
Ms.
Cristinzia [sighs.]
Jenna will be out for the foreseeable future.
As a result, the CAMDA jury have approved the pairing of Mr.
Roy with a new partner, Miss Jones.
They will compete with a new routine choreographed by Miss Morita.
There's no way I'm going to let Sasha make the same mistake twice.
["Spark" playing.]
My eyes are open but I cannot see And I'm up and walking Still feels like a dream Until our eyes adjust I guess We're only feeling in the darkness Oh, oh, oh - We just need a spark - Oh, oh - To light up the dark - Oh, oh I can feel you with me I can feel you with me - We just need a spark - Oh, oh - To light up the dark - Oh, oh I can feel you with me I can feel you with me We just need a spark Hey, any dumpster diving lately? - I don't dumpster dive with everyone.
- [chuckles.]
Congrats on the CAMDA results.
First place.
Not too shabby.
Thanks.
- [sighs.]
- What's wrong? Things are a little strange.
Um Cassandra and I had a giant fight and I don't know.
I'm thinking [sighs.]
maybe it's over.
Over? Oh.
I Are you okay? I'm just not really sure what to do.
Any friendly advice? - Uh - Don't wanna be late for Frances.
- Let's go.
- Sorry.
Talk later? Despite a few hiccups, we did pretty great at qualifiers, but we need to find something fresh for finals.
So come up with something awesome, and pitch me.
Best song wins.
Was Aidan asking for advice or permission to break up with his girlfriend? [fingers snapping.]
Are you with me? - We're doing this, right? - Oh.
Sure, sure.
I definitely don't want any part of that whole Alya and Miles drama saga.
Doesn't matter what Aidan was asking.
I need to focus on this song.
I'm in.
Tinska, arabesque turn, layback, run, run and then lift.
No.
No lift.
Let's try it.
[chuckles.]
That's better, right? This is gonna rock, V.
Look how happy she is.
I don't want to take this away from her, but Dancing with Roy? Risky business.
We're a little busy here, Beckett.
I'm just saying, I wouldn't put a lift in the choreo if I were you.
Are you trying to tell me how to do my job? [scoffs.]
Wow.
Beckett Bradstreet, speechless.
This is new.
Sasha's gotta tell her himself.
It's not up to me.
[sighs.]
Look, we're not gonna win finals if we play it safe.
You're not gonna make it to finals if you don't.
- What's your game Beckett? - No game, just Just talk to Sasha.
Promise me.
[taps.]
Number one.
That's me.
[footsteps approaching.]
Hi.
You're not Cassandra.
Thank goodness.
Cassandra isn't coming.
She said something about Aidan.
Said you'd get it.
I'm Mindy Dobson.
Yeah.
I get that Aidan is a goof for ruining things with Cassandra, especially before the CAMDAs.
Nope.
You're not going to work.
Cassandra is my CAMDAs project.
This could be something new.
Something better.
That is like Lisa del Giocondo telling Da Vinci, "I can't make it to work today, but here's my friend Dolores.
" - I need to have a talk with my brothe - Well, I'm here, ready to work.
How long can you hold that pose? Till all the blood rushes to my head and I pass out.
I can work with that.
[camera clicks.]
[sighs.]
[camera shutter clicking.]
What's up? Sasha, is everything okay with you? - You know, since the Jenna stuff? - Yeah.
Why? What do you mean? I'm not blaming you or anything.
It's just Beckett told me not to put any lifts in the duet and Vanessa, please, don't listen to him.
You don't even like Beckett, remember? [sighs.]
It's not totally true anymore.
He knows that with you choreographing and me dancing, we're gonna give him and Carly a run for their money.
- I guess.
- Beckett's just jealous.
It's all it is.
Why don't you just tell her the truth? There's nothing to tell.
Do you really trust yourself to dance with another partner? Sasha, you have a problem.
What problem? I would never let anything happen to Brooke.
I'm sure you said the same thing about Jenna, but look, she's not here.
Why? Because of you.
- It was an accident.
- Sasha, what problem is he talking about? Nothing.
He's the one with a problem.
It wasn't my fault.
- He's lying.
- [Vanessa.]
Enough.
Sasha's my friend.
And if he says he doesn't have a problem, then I believe him.
He's gonna get someone else hurt.
My friend would never do that.
- [Vanessa sighs.]
- [clicks tongue.]
If Vanessa won't listen, maybe someone else will.
How about we write a song about love? Yes? Or the opposite.
An anti-love song.
[sighs.]
Like a song about the death of love.
No.
That's not my brand.
I'm thinking more first love.
Great.
The death of first love.
Something like the other girl, the other girl The other girl left our love in her path.
Um, what was that? A wake up call.
I'm tired of these girls who instead of finding their own boyfriends just wait around for yours, like some sort of cheetah waiting for a chance to pounce.
What are you looking at me for? I'm not that girl.
But if two people are meant to be together, they're falcons.
And cheetahs, cheetahs don't pounce on falcons.
Falcons? Wait.
That boy, the one from this morning, he has a girlfriend, doesn't he? Bianca, my situation's different from yours.
It's complicated.
There's no excuse for flirting with a guy who's taken.
I wasn't flirting.
Where are you going? I think we should finish working on our song separately.
What song? The one where I call the other girl out and you pretend they're not the worst.
Good? Great.
- [camera clicks.]
- Freeze.
Don't move.
[camera shutter clicking.]
Without the teeth.
Uh No, like you've lost your dog.
I don't own a dog.
I know just what we need.
- [chuckles.]
Fun, right? - Incorrect.
Look, Mindy.
Mindy! I need a Prima.
Distant, cool.
And you? - I don't know what you are.
- I am a Prima.
Why are you being so bratty, George? You won't stand still, you can't take that silly smile off your face, and you gonna ruin my camera with these bubbles.
I think I'm done, George.
You can't just leave.
I'll tell Cassandra.
[Mindy.]
This is me leaving.
Bye.
[George.]
Fine, leave.
I don't need you.
Delete Delete del Mindy.
Mindy.
Mindy! Mr.
Roy and Miss Jones to center.
Say something.
Walk me through Vanessa's choreography for your CAMDA duet.
If this happens again, it's on me.
Ms.
Helsweel? Not now, Mr.
Bradstreet.
- I really need to talk to you.
- [Ms.
Helsweel shushes.]
[softly.]
Beckett, what are you doing? [electronic dance music starts.]
Love me Love me Love me Love me - Love - Love me Stop them.
Lo Lo Love me Stop! [pants.]
[Helsweel.]
Is there a problem, Mr.
Roy? I'm sorry.
I can't.
- Mr.
Roy.
- [Vanessa.]
Sasha.
[door opens.]
I'll go.
Bianca's got it all wrong.
It's not like I tried to get between Aidan and Cassandra.
I won't even know how to do that if I wanted to.
If they want to break up that's because of them, not me.
How's the songwriting going? Earlier, when you asked about you and Cassandra, you have to do whatever's in your heart.
But it has to be about you and Cassandra, right? I know.
That's why I ended it.
I'm sorry to hear that.
Nothing to be sorry about.
There's no point.
Don't say it.
Don't say it.
Don't say it.
I just can't be with someone when I know that I like somebody else.
Do you know what I mean? He said it.
Is Bianca right? Am I the other girl? Um I gotta go.
Uh, listen.
Um, can we meet up after school? I don't know.
Maybe? I [sniffles.]
I just wanted to be stronger.
I get it.
The pressure to be strong? To be the best? [chuckles.]
I get it.
[sighs.]
I never meant for anyone to get hurt.
This is my fault.
You did the right thing today.
You stopped yourself.
If you want to get stronger, I know a lot of healthy ways to do it.
- Ways that won't hurt you or anyone else.
- It doesn't matter anyway.
I won't be dancing anymore once you tell Helsweel.
Me? I'm not the one who needs to tell her.
I don't know if I can.
Sometimes being honest about our weaknesses is when we're being our strongest.
[indistinct chatter.]
Excuse me.
I'll see you guys later.
I see what you're doing.
[sighs.]
What do you want, George? I'm not great with change.
Is this supposed to be an apology? [sighs.]
What's this, George? Kapow! Mind blown.
So you'll come back? - Are you gonna be nice to me? - No.
- I mean, may be.
- [chuckles.]
Maybe.
Okay.
But I have conditions.
[vocalizing.]
You see her as a cool girl As a dance girl, as a party girl And you don't have to please her There's no need to fight or plead Simple things like the way she laughs The way she looks in a photograph Turned our diamonds into glass The other girl left to laugh in a bath Hold up, hold up, hold up Love in this cruel world Has no guarantee of lasting Forever and ever Knew that he was spoken for I just knew what I was looking for The fairy tale, the dream come true I want love too like you I don't wanna be the other girl Oh, love is a two-sided story With blanks to fill in Heroes and villains Though we may come From different worlds No cause to blame The two sides are the same Turn the key Open the door and see The other girl is me [door opens.]
I can do this.
I can do this.
Ms.
Helsweel.
[door opens.]
[camera shutter clicks.]
[Bianca and Scarlett.]
Oh, love is a two-sided story With blanks to fill in Heroes and villains Though we may come From different worlds No cause to blame The two sides are the same Turn the key Open the door and see The other girl is me [girl chuckles.]
Better late than never.
Or not? - Aidan - I thought maybe you and I I can't.
I can't be the other girl.
- Was I wrong? - Yes.
You and I, let's just keep it friends.
[sighs.]
[sighs.]
I can't believe Sasha was in so much trouble and I didn't see it.
Thanks for being there for him, I know what you must think.
He's a good guy who got a little lost.
Now he has to deal with the wrath of Helsweel.
Sasha's got guts, that's for sure.
[Vanessa.]
I'm a little sad I won't get to choreograph a duet at CAMDAs.
[indistint chattering.]
[sighs.]
I I shouldn't have said that out loud.
You're just being real.
If I'm really being real, I'd rather dance.
How about right now? Don't be weird.
- The footwork might be a little basic.
- Who said anything about footwork?
