After the first-years flour bomb the second-years in the middle of the night, both years become competitive and schedule a hip hop dance-off. Sammy recruits Ollie's help, saying he is the best hip-hop dancer at the academy, while both years practice their moves and throw parties (the second-years' party being quiet and relaxed compared to the first-years' upbeat dance party with glow-sticks and a hot tub). Tara, whose attitude has been influenced by Grace, drunkenly confronts Christian and Kat at the party, and tries to kiss Ben, but ends up throwing up and being given advice by Miss Raine. Before the eventual showdown (at which the second-years win), Ollie and Sammy kiss.

Abigail, having trouble with Zach's practice, is sought by Finn, the producer of the musical Ethan was initially choreographing, and new director Mistii, who both pretend to be planning to cast a ditzy blonde (Mistii) in the lead role. Even after discovering their ploy, Abigail accepts that the role is suited to her. Grace becomes bored with dancing she considers beneath her natural ability, and seeks Zach out for more complicated practice. Tara looks for a new crush, saying that there are no crush-worthy guys at the school, when Ben kisses her.
