Dancing Toward a Love That's Gone - Episode 1

Nina celebrates finally earning the troupe's principal dancer role, but Ethan's mother interrupts: Ethan will marry her only if their marriage stays secret until Nina proves herself as a dance master by winning the Venus Dance Contest. Later, new investor Mr. Blake—revealed as Ethan Blake—announces a 100 million investment and strips Nina of the principal post, installing Chloe. Nina confronts Ethan—"You're my husband, yet you took away the position I fought so hard for"—while Chloe thanks him and hints at closeness. The episode ends with Nina stripped of her title, her secret marriage and contest goal suddenly in jeopardy.
