It starts off with the troupe practicing the routine then Emily says the energy was great so we can all go home then Chris and Kate inform them that since they all worked so hard they should have a fun night where they hang out as friends not team mates so they all come and play a fun game called machine then play truth or dare where Riley asks West what's his biggest secret. Which he says is witnessing a robbery then West dares Stephanie to order a juice with Tiffany being the hands but when they all go Tiffany puts lipstick on Stephanie then they all come back and Kate wants to put a movie on so they have to dance to pick and James wins but gives his choice to Riley then after the movie they play truth or dare. Tiffany dares James to kiss Riley then James dare's Emily to do the salteen cracker challenge then Emily dares Michelle which guy does she like she said West then later Eldon went up to Michelle and says he wants to break up with Emily and Michelle says if you break up with her now it will tear the team apart then they tell ghost stories girls against boys whoever gets freaked out has to pay. First Stephanie tells a story which the guys have heard of and then west tells a story about chickens which Riley is frightened of and then James pops out in a chicken costume and scares Riley then the girls prank the guys by putting hot sauce on the pizza which the boys figured out. Then a cop comes and arrests James. The girls then reveal it was a joke. The guys were shocked that they were double pranked. The cop was actually Giselle's uncle and Kate was part of the prank.

A-Troupe does their first Regionals routine and they manage to advance to the next round and the third. But in the third round, One of Riley's gloves gets caught in a feather on her bow and their performance goes awry. The Next Step ends up getting eliminated and they are all heartbroken, especially Riley who blames herself for it but everyone else tells her not to. Then James reminds them that they could be given the wild-card spot that will allow them to return, exciting everyone. When they are called back onstage later with two other dance troupes, the announcer announces that The Next Step is the wild-card group and they will return to the competition and everyone is ecstatic. ConfiDance, Annex Dance Academy, Art and Soul and more are all real dance studios in the Ontario area.
