It's Tara's final year at the Academy and her preparations for a surprise 18th birthday for Abigail clash with a tantalizing opportunity for Third Years to audition for temporary roles in the National Company's current ballet.

It's an overwhelming first few days working as fill-in dancers in the Company and a whole new learning curve. Christian continues to shirk responsibility and avoid returning to the Academy.
