Ethan is offered the chance of choreographing a fringe musical, for which he recruits Abigail, who also practices singing for the role. Tara arrives back at the academy, having recovered enough to present her case against Saskia. Although Miss Raine offers Tara her position again, Tara refuses to accept it as Saskia is unrepentant and denies she did any wrong. After the second-year dancers become hostile and make sarcastic remarks to Saskia, she resigns and heads home to Perth. Despite still not apologizing to a returning Tara, Saskia tells her she'll be jealous of new dancers one day too, but Tara says she will never do what Saskia did, because although she loves ballet, she won't let it destroy her. After a party on a yacht for him, Ethan is offered a job opportunity in Barcelona, and bids a tearful goodbye to everyone.
