Auditions for the national cultural troupe's showcase collapse when no candidate can perform ethnic dance, leaving Madam Burton frantic with the event looming. Yelena, the troupe's ballet star, warns ethnic dance is difficult but suggests training candidates with good fundamentals. As organizers prepare to call off auditions, Tessa bursts in — visibly pregnant. Staff assume Shaun arranged her a cafeteria job, but Tessa refuses: "I'm not going to work in the cafeteria." She declares she wants to join the troupe as an ethnic dancer. The episode ends with Burton forced to decide whether to accept Tessa for the showcase.
