Episode Overview[]

Tara is ecstatic when she is offered a dancing role in Ethan's assessment piece. Is he finally beginning to see romantic potential in her? But when she arrives at the studio to find Ethan engrossed in conversation with his mentor — the talented, gorgeous and much older Dana Strong — it's obvious who Ethan has his sights on. Eager to impress Dana, Ethan pushes Tara mercilessly to dance however he mistakes cockiness for professionalism and confidence when forcing Tara to dance while fatigued and pushing his flirtation too far. In the end, Tara eventually catches on to Ethan's frustrations and dances his piece leaving him amazed, so much so, that he kisses her, though it is not the way Tara thought it would be. Meanwhile, Kat, Sammy , Abigail and her younger sister Paige head to Luna Park for the day. Abigail struggles to connect with Paige who would prefer to be in the company of Kat and Sammy.
