The New Girl in Town

With Stephanie joining A-Troupe to complete the Internationals Team, the team is very excited and ready to take on internationals. All of A-Troupe is very happy with their team for internationals. Whilst they are all having fun, a dancer from England arrives called Ella who is a part of the internationals exchange program arrives and Riley must mentor her.Riley immediately doesn't like her because she plays a prank on her along with Noah and West, and later plays a prank on Max in Hidalgos. Amanda gets chosen for the exchange program and has to go to Sweden, but Amanda doesn't want to go. Amanda wants to swap with West so West can go to Sweden but Miss Kate explains Amanda is the Alternate for the Internationals Team and will only compete if someone else from A-Troupe can't. Eldon is practicing 30 pirouettes in Studio A with Thalia, but is stuck on 14. Ella and Riley walk in, and Ella offers to help, saying if he does 24 she will kiss him. Thalia doesn't mind at this point, but when he does 24 pirouettes and Ella actually does kiss him, she gets very annoyed and tells Riley she is going to give Eldon more motivation. Giselle needs some help with being a good dance captain, so Michelle gathers some J-Troupers to act out scenarios, but Giselle ends up making the studio "bankrupted 19 times, many injuries and even a deportation". Richelle feels bad for her, so she gives her the dance captain diary that Emily gave her. Thalia house as she is helping her mom pack. They give her muffins and say goodbye to her. Michelle says later that as hard as it is saying goodbye to her friends, she doesn't know how she'll say goodbye to her mom and may be saying goodbye to them for the last time. She feels really sad and wonders what it would be like to say bye to the next step.
