Ethan is courted to be a choreographer at a dance company in Spain. Kat, (acting on advice given to her by Abigail) hatches a plan to get Tara and Ethan back together so that Ethan will have a reason to stay in Sydney and not abandon her like the rest of her family members. It is revealed that Kat and Abigail were once childhood best friends until they were 11 years old, when Kat decided that she was a rebel and abandoned Abigail for becoming too serious about ballet.
