Episode Overview

Sammy's father does not want his son to be a dancer but agreed to let him attend the Academy on the condition that it would not interfere with his academic studies or with proper religious observance. However, with Saturday Synagogue attendance and Saturday ballet class both compulsory, Sammy has been lying to his family and the school... And he's about to be found out. Christian's position at the Academy is also questioned when Mr. Kennedy challenges him to make a long-term commitment to a career as a dancer - he has the talent, but he has to do something with it and that means listening to his teachers and letting someone in. Meanwhile, Tara is determined to push Ethan out of her mind to focus on ballet, but this is not as easy as she'd imagined.
