Make It or Break It (2009) s02e17 Episode Script

Previously on Make It or Break It The new coach going to the World Championships is Sasha Belov.
I'm pregnant.
We don't have to wait to have our happy ending.
We can just be together right now.
Summer Van Horn, will you marry me? Yes.
Damon's label wants us to record the song we wrote.
I was totally blocked until you rescued me and this album.
Two people just click.
Damon and I kissed.
- We need to see Emily.
- She's on a bus to Las Vegas.
She decided to have the baby.
So.
Big day.
Returning to The Rock for a National Team practice.
How are you feeling? It's going to be weird without Emily there.
I feel like this is all my fault.
That she had unprotected sex and got pregnant? How is that your fault? I told her I kissed Damon.
I didn't know that she was pregnant.
And I was just trying to be honest and I told her it would never happen again.
But she took off.
She quit gymnastics and left town.
It sounds like you acted with integrity.
And you're not responsible for Emily's choices.
I guess.
But seeing Emily give up on this dream made me realize how quickly it can all slip away.
It made me realize how much I want it.
- Worlds is a major event.
- Huge.
And girls who don't go to Worlds don't go to the Olympics.
On top of which, I've already missed six weeks of training.
You're not just a little anxious? A little.
But Sasha was named National and World Team Coach.
And, um I know he's going to have my back, and I know that with him I can shine.
You can.
Trust yourself, Kaylie.
Your dream belongs to you and no one can rob you of that.
This is more like it.
The Rock back on top and our coach in charge.
Kelly Parker must be in a tizzy.
Wonder if she'll even make the World Team.
With Kaylie coming back, Emily's spot's the only one up for grabs.
Who cares.
We three just need to focus on each other right now.
The closer we get to the Olympics, the greater the stakes, the higher the pressure, the more we need each other's support.
Mmm-hmm.
Totally.
Hey, Max.
Is it true? Emily's pregnant? - I heard she took off.
- Also, true.
But the good news is that Kaylie's coming back today.
And she needs everyone's support.
I don't know.
You really think she's ready? Yes, I do.
Austin, she's been cleared by all of her doctors.
And she doesn't need you or anyone messing with her self confidence.
It's hard enough as it is to make a comeback.
Believe me, I know.
So are you supporting her return or not? - Welcome home! - Kaylie, you're back! It's so good to see you! Oh my God, we missed you so much.
Just like old times.
The Three Musketeers.
Has anyone heard from Emily? We can't dwell on what might have been.
We've got to move forward.
That's right.
I mean, we're all still here.
Yeah.
Now is not the time to slack off.
We have to work harder than ever.
Well, we can have a tiny bit of fun.
I have great news.
Summer's getting married! - To who? - My dad, thank you very much.
And those are the invites to her shower.
But keep it on the DL, it's a surprise.
I guess this means that Summer's totally over Sasha? Of course, she is.
The shower's next Friday, at my house, and the theme is "Pretty in Pink.
" Won't that be fun? I'm ready for you.
They are, I mean.
- Is there something else? - What? No.
Why? It just seems like there's something on your mind.
Oh, well, uh I'm happy, for you, that the NGO finally came around to realizing that you're the right coach for the National and World Team.
You deserve it.
I'm not entirely sure I deserve it, but I intend to be worthy of it.
Thank you.
Well, uh Have a nice, um, press conference.
Kelly, looking good.
Great to have you back.
Oh look, Satan's spawn is here.
Poor Tessa, she's only 14.
The young ones make better disciples.
- Kaylie! - Don't let her rattle you.
What a surprise to see you back.
How was rehab? What are you talking about? On your "ACL tear.
" What else did you think I meant? Kaylie's never been better.
Too bad they don't have rehab for Emily's condition.
You're acting pretty cocky considering you haven't even made the World Team.
- I will.
- Don't be so sure.
Our coach is now in control of this team.
And I think we all know, he's not a fan.
If I can have your attention? I would like to thank the press for coming today.
I'm very excited by this National and World Team.
And I'm very honored to have been chosen as their coach.
Coach Belov, speaking of Worlds, who's taking Emily Kmetko's spot, now that she's quit? Kelly Parker.
You were saying? We see National Champion Kaylie Cruz is here today.
Rumor has it that her ACL has healed, does this mean she'll be competing at Worlds? No.
I'm sorry to announce, Kaylie Cruz will not be ready to compete at Worlds.
Who'll be replacing her? I haven't made that determination yet.
Next question.
And I think the results will speak for themselves.
Thank you.
Sasha! I am ready, that's why I'm back.
- You've been out for six weeks, Kaylie.
- I need to go to Worlds.
No, what you need to do is keep your focus on the Olympics.
- That's the goal.
- If I don't compete at Worlds, the NGO won't even consider me for the Olympic Team.
They've made exceptions in the past.
But, I'm not an exception.
I'm the National Champ and I earned my spot on the World Team.
And if you go to Worlds and perform poorly, it will irrevocably hurt your chances at the Olympics.
It's just simply more prudent to play it safe.
Since when have you ever played it safe? Since I'm the National Team Coach.
Look, I can't allow my affection for you to cloud my judgment.
You need to trust me.
You will remain on the National Team, but you'll not be going to Worlds.
Oh, excuse me.
He can't do this! It's not fair! How can he say your spot is up for grabs? Kay, that's your spot.
I trust Sasha, if he doesn't think I'm ready, then maybe I'm not.
No, all that matters is what you think! Trusting only what I thought, almost killed me.
Sasha knew I had a problem before, and I denied it.
I'm sorry if this is hard for you, but my recovery depends on accepting that I can't always be objective about myself.
So, let's cut to the chase, I'm not your favorite gymnast and you're not my favorite coach, but why spend time dwelling in the negative? I am the former World Champion so I'm counting on you not to play favorites with your Rock girls.
And since I'll be the team captain, I'll conduct all the press-related interviews because the fans want to follow a star and well, that's what I am.
Also, I think Tessa Grande should fill Kaylie's spot.
She's young, talented and has no ego issues.
Well, I'll take your endorsement under consideration.
In the meantime, the girls will pick their own team captain and the press will interview whomever they choose.
But you can rest assured I have no intention of playing favorites with anyone, including you.
You know, it really is so sad about Emily, but I hope you don't feel responsible.
Even if you hadn't taken a sudden leave of absence I'm sure she still would have lost her way.
What's the deal with Payson? What do you mean? I don't know.
She runs hot and cold.
At least where I'm concerned.
Maybe because you're all over Lauren.
Hey, she's all over me.
Look, Lauren's hot, I get it, but if you want Payson, you're going to have to pursue her.
If you want her to warm up you're gonna have to give a reason to.
Bust a move.
Can all National Team members gather? The next three days are National Team practices.
And I know you're all curious to find out who's going to fill Kaylie's spot on the World Team.
So am I.
It could be any one of you who aren't already on the team.
So think of these next few days as an audition.
At the end of which I will invite two girls to stay on with the World Team to continue training.
And from those two girls, I'll ultimately choose the winner and who will be an alternate.
Here is a list of compulsories for strength, flexibility, and skill.
But they don't have compulsories at Worlds.
These are my compulsories.
I'll use these as a way to determine which two girls stay to compete for the final spot.
Now, one more thing.
An elite member of our team has left us.
She left us because she couldn't maintain the focus or the discipline this sport demands.
She wanted to do the sport her way and not my way.
So is there anyone else, standing right here, who feels the need to do things their way? If so, step forward.
Good.
We're on the same page then.
Get to work on the compulsories.
I want to see them executed flawlessly.
Sasha.
What am I supposed to do? Light conditioning.
We need to focus on building back your stamina, so no skills right now, not until I'm sure you're ready.
Is he serious with all this conditioning? I mean we're not in the Army.
Poor Lauren, are you afraid you won't be able to keep up? Luckily, Carter helped me get ready, so my endurance and flexibility are perfect.
I know you're disappointed.
You just need to give it time, be patient.
You and I both know I don't have time to be patient.
The Olympics are around the corner and Worlds are an important stepping stone.
If I'm sidelined too long I might just be out.
So what are you gonna do? I'm going to do it his way.
Do I have a choice? Hey, I'll see you at your house later.
Your dad's not coming back till next week.
Oh, great! How 'bout we order in tonight and hit those bridal mags? There's so many decisions to make starting with picking out your dress.
And you need to register, like ASAP, in case someone throws you a shower and OK, Lauren, just relax, please.
There is no need to rush this wedding, your father and I, we want to take our time Where's my ring? Why aren't you wearing it? You're not having second thoughts, are you? No, of course not.
Everything's fine.
I'm just waiting to tell everyone in my own time.
Everyone? Everyone, like who? Like Sasha? Yes, like Sasha.
Well, if it's too awkward for you then I can just do it.
No, that is totally unnecessary.
Oh, and, um It is really sweet of you, but I absolutely do not want a shower, it's just It's not my thing.
Oh, Mrs.
Keeler! What's this? Just an invite to Summer's surprise wedding shower.
Wow.
This certainly is a surprise.
I guess Summer said yes.
Of course she did.
Why wouldn't she? In fact, she wants the wedding to happen right away, so forget the date on that invite, I'm moving her shower up to this Friday instead of next.
OK then.
I'll be there.
What are you doing? Uh, recording.
No, I mean, why are you here and not with Emily? Damon, what's going on? How should I know? She shows up at my door, all excited about how great this was, and how we can finally have our happily ever after now.
She didn't even ask me what I wanted.
She says she's gonna go home and pack.
And I never hear from her again.
Well, have you tried to call her? Yeah, of course I have.
She won't answer my calls and her mom says she doesn't want to speak to me.
You know, I'm sick of all these games.
- She left town.
- Wait, what? Why? Because I told her we kissed.
I feel so horrible.
I thought I was doing the right thing.
I told her it didn't mean anything but Wait, it didn't It didn't mean anything? You need to go to her.
You have to make Chloe tell you where she is.
You do want to know where she is, don't you? Hey! I didn't know you ran this trail.
Actually, you did.
I told you I run this route every morning at exactly this time.
Yeah, I guess you did.
Look, I know you're dating Lauren.
Who said I'm dating Lauren? You guys are all over each other at the gym and I saw those pictures you took of her.
You're obviously into her, so go for it.
You have my blessing.
Just leave me out of whatever game you're playing.
Great job, Lauren.
I think you have a real chance to individually medal at Worlds.
And I think I have a very special vault for you that could make it gold.
Get down.
Immediately.
I said you weren't ready to work on any skills.
I know, I just thought I'd do a simple I'm sorry, it won't happen again.
It better not.
Sasha, that was an elementary skill, Kaylie can do that in her sleep.
Aren't you being overly cautious? You girls have all proven you don't know your own limits.
So for your own good, it's my job to set them.
All right, let's see it.
So, Summer anything new? Nothing.
Why? No reason.
Just wondering if you had any news about anything? Look, I know you're engaged.
Who told you? A little birdie named Lauren.
Oh, Kim, I'm so sorry, of course I would have told you, I just I wasn't ready to make the big announcement with all the fuss people make.
Well, I hate to be a party pooper here, but I think you should know, Lauren is throwing you a surprise shower.
- Oh, no.
- This Friday.
Oh, I feel horrible, I told her I didn't want a shower.
Well, it's obvious.
She's really excited about having you as a stepmom.
I know.
It's sweet.
How about you? Are you excited about marrying Steve? Yes.
Of course.
Why wait to tell people then? Unless "people" are really Sasha? I'm waiting for the right moment.
Well, I hate to tell you, but there really is never a right moment to tell a man you deeply care for that you're marrying someone else.
May I come in? You're angry.
Ya' think? My seventeen-year-old daughter is pregnant, because you, w are nineteen, didn't have common sense to use protection! I feel terrible about that.
Oh! You feel "terrible.
" Oh well then, all's forgiven, Damon.
- What do you want me to say? - I want you to say that you're going to take full responsibility for your actions.
She's the one who ran away.
Because you kissed another girl.
After she broke up with me.
You think it's easy loving Emily? She has pushed me and pulled me since the day that we met and now she has some crazy idea that being teen parents is some sort of happy ending.
I have dreams too.
What about my album? My career? It's always about her.
Well, it's not about either one of you anymore.
It's all about this baby now.
Emily's made her choice to have this baby with or without you.
So, you need to make your choice.
I'm not ready to be a father.
And She's not ready to be a mother.
But here we are.
What is wrong with you? I'm sorry, I don't know why I'm missing it.
Well, you better figure it out and fast.
I need you to get that spot.
I can't even look at you.
Hey, you're not that far off from getting it, you're releasing a little early.
Wait until your body just passes being parallel to the ground.
Then let go.
You'll make it every time.
Come on, give it a try, I'll spot you.
Come on, Tessa.
That's great! - Yay, you got it! - Thanks.
So, not only are you letting your spot be taken away, but now you're helping to fill it? Payson, I know you don't understand.
You're right.
If being honest with everybody is part of your recovery, then I want you to be honest with yourself.
Do you really think you can't be physically ready for Worlds? Sasha has the final word.
He does if you don't put up a fight.
If you try and you're not ready, then that's fine.
But don't sit by the sidelines and passively watch someone else take your dream away.
Look, I don't think I can trust myself.
How will you know if you don't test yourself? What is he doing here? Uh, I'll be right back.
Wow, what a tool.
First he knocks up Emily and now, rumor has it, he's hooking up with Kaylie.
In her fragile state? It's absolutely shameful.
So, Emily's mom told me where she is.
I'm going to be there for her, and the baby.
You're doing the right thing.
And Damon, promise me that you'll finish your album.
You can find a way to do both, I know you can.
I don't know Damon, you were born to do this, don't give up on your dreams, not ever.
You have to fight for them.
I'll make you a deal, if I promise to fight, will you? OK.
I promise.
Thank you, Kaylie, for everything.
You are so special.
You made me believe in myself again.
Come here.
- Hey, Young! - Austin, no! What the hell is wrong with you?! You already ruined one girl's life! You don't know what you're talking about! It's OK.
Maybe I deserved that.
Damn right you did.
Goodbye, Kaylie.
Take care.
- What is wrong with you?! - I'm protecting you.
I am not your sister! Do you understand me? I don't need you to save me! I can take care of myself! - You're still in recovery.
- Exactly! I'm in recovery.
And how am I supposed to know what I'm capable of if nobody gives me a chance? I deserve a chance, Austin! I'm ready to fight.
So, that's the floor compulsory, and you'll end with a handspring front one and a half twist.
And a round off back one and a half punch front.
- Easy-peezy, right? - For you maybe.
I've been on vacation for six weeks.
You can do it.
And we'll be helping you all the way.
And once Sasha sees that you can and will be ready for Worlds, he won't hesitate to put you back on the team.
OK, so how do we go about this? If Sasha sees me doing any tricks in the gym, he'll flip.
Not if he's not there when you do them.
Like at night.
I made a copy of Summer's key.
What if we get caught? We apologize.
Sasha's making his decision in two days, we don't have a choice.
And it's not like we're breaking in to party.
OK, um - When do we start? - Now.
Nobody should be there.
Let's go.
Pay, is that you? It sure is.
Who took it? Max.
Follow the leader Stay in the lines What will people think of what you've done this time? Play it safe Play by the rules Or don't play at all What if you lose? That's not the secret but I know what is Everybody dies but not everyone lives Everybody dies but not everyone lives I'm gonna run, run, run Got the cops on my tail I'm gonna live my life like I'm out on bail I'm gonna be up front Gonna be the champ I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna I'm gonna cross that line I'm gonna cross that line I'm gonna run, run, run I got the cops on my tail I'm gonna be out front Gonna be the champ I'm gonna cross that line Run, run, run Got the cops on my tail I'm gonna live my life like I'm out on bail Gonna be out front Gonna be the champ I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna I'm gonna cross that line Hey, did you happen to stop by the Spruce Juice yet? I, uh no, I haven't.
Nice snapshot at the Spruce Juice.
And by the way, I totally understand why you couldn't put up any of the ones you took of me.
It's a family place.
Who else saw it? Kaylie and Payson, although she didn't seem too impressed.
But that's just Payson.
She doesn't have any artistic sense.
How are you feeling? Well, except for my excruciating skin tears and throbbing muscles, not bad.
I know, my knee is killing me.
Can I talk to you, please, alone? Whatever you have to say to me, you can say it in front of Payson.
You were right.
I have been projecting my sister's illness onto you and the truth is, she's not as strong as you are.
I'm sorry I got consumed with trying to fix something that isn't mine to fix in the first place.
A big part of recovery is having the support of those people who care about you.
And from now on, you have mine.
Tr Truce? Not to ruin this moment, but if you want to support her, we are hitting the uneven bars tonight and could really use some spotters.
Payson and Lauren are helping me get Sasha's compulsories down.
I need Sasha to see that I deserve my spot back.
It's the only way I'll make it to Worlds.
I'm in.
What time? Well, we gotta do it after the place closes, so I just heard that Kaylie and the other Rock girls have been breaking into the gym and training against your guidance.
I don't want to see Kaylie get hurt.
One wrong fall, in her weakened condition, and she could die.
All right, back handspring layout.
Nice.
Now, switch leap and a punch front.
All right, end with a double full dismount.
- Nice.
Ready to hit floor? - I need some water.
Why did you lie? What? About the photo? If you hated it, that's one thing, but why lie about it? I don't have time for this, OK? I need to focus on Kaylie right now, before Sasha makes a horrible mistake.
And what kind of mistake would that be? Sasha, we can explain.
I'm waiting.
We're sorry that we went behind your back, but that's Kaylie's spot, and you at least have to give her a chance.
She's got all your compulsories down, just let her show you.
You've not only put yourselves at risk, but you've blatantly disrespected me.
Give me one reason why I shouldn't kick you all off the team right now? Sasha, please.
It's not their fault.
They were just trying to help.
I know I've made bad decisions that jeopardized your trust in me, but give me a chance to show you who I am now and if you still don't think I'm ready, then I promise, I'll accept it.
Do you think I am playing some kind of game with you, Kaylie? Do you think I like keeping you off the team? No.
Then you need to accept that this decision is no longer in your grasp.
All of you, get your stuff and go home.
Really? You can't be serious It's only fair you give her a chance.
Its her spot.
I will see one apparatus.
And one only.
You've got this.
Just trust yourself, know who you are.
This is your gym and your sport.
Now, go own it.
Trust yourself, Kaylie.
Yes! You see? You can't deny her now! That was one of the cleanest, sharpest performances on bars - I have ever seen from you.
- Let me show you my vault and beam.
- No.
- But, why? What's the problem? The problem is that when I said I didn't think you were ready for Worlds, I didn't just mean physically.
I also meant emotionally.
I I don't understand.
I will not be responsible for putting that level of pressure on you.
I'm concerned for your recovery and your ability to pace yourself, and as witnessed by this little stunt, you're not there yet.
My decision is final, you will not be going to Worlds.
I don't understand how Sasha could take Kaylie's spot away.
You should have seen her, Mom, she was really great.
Then I think you need to remember that Sasha has a plan for Kaylie, just like he had a plan for you.
What's really going on, Pay? To do what we do, we need each other.
And I tried so hard to get Emily believe in herself and I lost her and now, I just I feel like I'm losing Kaylie too.
Are you afraid you can't succeed without your friends? Every risk I take, every time I put myself out there, it's because I know I have my team behind me.
They're not just friends, Mom, they're my sisters.
And I feel like Sasha's pulling us all apart.
I promise, this will find its way.
Oh! So, in other news I just happened to be at the Spruce Juice earlier and I saw a stunning photo of you.
What's wrong? Can we please not have this conversation? I just want to know how it made you feel? I don't know, stupid and embarrassed and And, what? I don't know, kind of good, I guess I knew it! Mom, I swear, if you don't start beaming, I will never talk to you about boys ever again.
I'm stopping.
I'm trying, it's just You're always so serious and focused, it's good to see you act like a normal teenage girl for once.
That's the problem, right there.
I'm not a normal teenage girl.
And I am terrified because of what happened to Emily.
Liking a boy, having sex, that means giving up on gymnastics and I won't do that, I can't I can't do that.
Honey, you're allowed to admire a boy who admires you without your whole world falling apart.
You're not Emily, Payson.
Oh, look at this dress, isn't it gorgeous? It's very beautiful.
And very expensive.
Oh, price is no object.
Daddy's paying.
We can make an appointment this weekend Listen, Lauren, we need to talk.
OK but me first.
There's something I've been thinking about for a while and, well I want you to legally adopt me.
What? Why should you be my stepmom when you can be my real mom? Since I don't have one anymore.
Lauren, I'm so moved that you would want that, I don't know what to say.
Say, yes! Well, of course but I think we should discuss it with your father when he gets home.
Oh, I know he'll say yes.
This is so great! You're going to be my mother.
Gymnastics is an extreme sport.
The adrenaline in taking risks can be addictive to a gymnast.
Which can lead to poor judgment.
And it's my job to not let that happen.
It's also your job to push them to the edge of their limits.
Nobody wins a gold medal erring on the side of caution.
And you think that's what I'm doing with Kaylie, erring on the side of caution? I think Kaylie is mentally prepared to compete at Worlds.
And if I thought doing so would compromise her recovery in any way I wouldn't have asked you to come here today.
I appreciate that you're her therapist, but I'm her coach.
And Kaylie became anorexic on my watch.
And Payson broke her back and Emily got pregnant.
And that all happened because teenagers keep secrets from their parents and their coaches.
I'm not taking Kaylie to Worlds.
That's your call.
But I would just ask you to consider if you are protecting Kaylie or punishing her because you feel like you failed to do the impossible? The impossible? To read her mind.
To predict the future.
To catch her before she fell.
Kaylie Cruz will be in recovery for the rest of her life.
But that doesn't mean she can't strive for greatness.
If you let her.
Thank you.
Now if you'll excuse me, I came here for Kaylie, not to be analyzed.
Sasha? In therapy? I wish I could have been a fly on that wall.
I don't think it went well.
Gene didn't sound optimistic.
Then we focus on the next thing, - the Olympics.
- Come on, Payson, you know without going to Worlds, I'm pretty much signing off on the Olympics.
Well, this year it'll be different.
Because we're not going to London without you.
It must be hard, seeing your spot being snatched away but maybe it's for the best, Kaylie.
You never know when you might snap again.
It must be hard being such an obnoxious bitch.
Oh, but you make it so easy.
And in just a few moments, when Sasha announces Tessa as Kaylie's replacement, my girls on the team will outnumber yours, and I'll be the captain of the US Team at Worlds.
Who cares? You still won't be able to play Sasha.
I already have.
Who do you think told him about your secret training sessions? Can the National Team members please come here.
After observing these past few days, I've come to a decision about the girls I would like to stay on with Worlds and vie for the open spot.
Out with the old, in with the new.
Tessa Grande.
And Annie Dillon.
And Kaylie Cruz.
- You did it, Kaylie! - What!? You said two girls were staying! Did I? Now it's three.
Look, I'm sorry I lied about seeing your photo at the Spruce Juice.
Because you didn't like it? No.
Because I was embarrassed, I guess.
It's really beautiful, I can't even believe It's you? I know I'm pretty, blah blah blah.
I just I don't know what you want.
I want you to know it's you I'm interested in, not Lauren.
Max, I'm sorry, I just It's OK if you don't like me.
No, no, that's the problem, I I do like you and I just I can't risk screwing up my gymnastics because I get all wrapped up in someone else.
I I just can't do it.
I understand.
It sounds to me what you need is a supportive friend, and I'm like the best friend ever.
Just ask Austin.
I am the wind beneath his big arrogant wings.
Thanks.
Friend.
- I'll see you tomorrow.
- OK.
What are you doing? What you should have done a long time ago.
I closed everything down, except the one overhead light.
Thank you.
I'll take care of it when I leave.
And I'm sorry about Lauren making a copy of my key, - that won't happen again.
- Worse things have happened.
There's one more thing Um, I guess I've been looking for the right time to tell you, but I don't know that there will ever be a right time, so I'm engaged.

There's somebody, somewhere It's sinking in Life'll never An hour ago there was nothing wrong Now someone's wondering how they're gonna go home Maybe you're looking out the window at a traffic light Wondering how you'll ever make it through the first night Wish I could reach you From down the road to let you know that We'll be OK It won't feel this way Someday Surprise!
