Find me in Paris

When Lena, a princess in 1905, discovers that her parents are planning to move her from her school at the Garnier to her home back in Russia, her and boyfriend, Henri, hatch a plan to run away together. But just when she's about to make her escape she finds herself thrown through time, landing in modern day Paris.

After learning that she’s time travelled, Lena is visibly rattled, but it’s vital that she stay put and remain at the Garnier for the time being. Help is on the way with Henri’s father on the hunt to retrieve her. Unfortunately, he’s not the only one searching. Three dangerous thugs, The Time Collectors, are on her tail looking to steal the timepiece given to her by Henri.

After the real Elena Grande arrives, obvious questions arise. Lucky for her, Victor arrives just in time. He is quick with answers to every question and adds that Lena comes from royalty with a benefactor who will pay Lena’s tuition if she’s allowed to stay. Impressed by Lena superior talent, Ms. Carré agrees to keep her on.

Henri’s quick thinking with the timepiece might’ve saved Lena from the Time Collectors but unfortunately; they aren’t the only one kept from getting to her. With Victor and Henri trapped in different years, Lena must settle into her new life at the Paris Opera Ballet School and her new confidant Ines is there to help. She’ll need all the help she can get.

Desperate to fit into her new surroundings, Lena begs fellow student, Jeff, into taking her on a little day trip outside the school walls. It’s exciting and new, and Lena gets easily distracted by this new world, filled with colorful clothing and funky music. But there are rules at the Paris Opera Ballet School, and being late is not one of them.

Lena’s super excited for the opportunity to be a “Little Mother,” a mentor to one of the younger students. When she realizes that she’ll have to go head-to-head with Thea to compete for the spot, it’s game on. The two face-off in endurance challenges unaware that it's all an entertaining mind-game for the conniving protégé. Elsewhere Max auditions for an exclusive underground dance crew.

When Etienne assigns a scene study about a love triangle, everyone is excited until parts are handed out. Lena is cast as the ethereal sprite and love interest to Max. Thea is left seething as the downtrodden wife. When Lena's feelings for Max begin to impact her dancing, she’s convinced it’s the legend of the curse that surrounds this classic ballet.

The feels are alive at the Paris Opera Ballet School. Max is still conflicted about his feelings for Lena following the scene study and is standoffish towards her. Unsure what she did wrong, Lena writes a letter to Max and plans to hand deliver it. But when Lena sees Max acting suspiciously Lena follows Max to his aunt’s modest home.

When Ms. Carré assigns Lena, Ines, and Thea together for a trio ballet assignment, they expect the worst. However both Lena and Thea surprisingly find common ground over a Ballet they both enjoy and choose it to perform for their assignment. They bond leaving a confused Ines feeling like a third wheel. When Lena sides with Thea’s ideas over Ines, this starts a rift between the two best friends.

It’s audition time for the mid-season show. Knowing she might not get this opportunity again, Lena plans to work hard and nail it. That is until she gets paired with Jeff, a talented but undisciplined dancer. With it all on the line, Lena tries everything from inspiring speeches to reverse psychology, but nothing works. Jeff will not take the upcoming auditions seriously.

With the completion of the port-a-portal, the Time Collectors double cross Henri and make their way to modern day to grab both Lena and the timepiece. Luckily Henri escapes and follows after them. Meanwhile, Lena accidentally traps herself and her fellow classmates in the tunnels below the Garnier. As the students split off into groups, Lena and Max pair up and search for an escape.

As the mid-season performance nears, Lena is pushing herself to her limit. She wants to be perfect but the pressure is getting to her. After several shaky rehearsals, Ms. Carré demotes pairs Lena and Max to the understudy roles. Max concocts a plan to get their leading roles back. He enlists his go-to “chill method” to try to get Lena to relax. He knows if she relaxes they can nail the routine.

It’s the mid-season performance day and air is electric as Lena gets ready backstage. After the intense audition process, all the rehearsals, and almost losing the role to her understudy Thea, Lena is ready to wow the audience and most importantly Ms. Carré. But just as Lena's about to go out on stage, Thea surprises her with a letter from Henri, telling her to meet him NOW at a portal.

Still confused about where Henri went, Lena must return to the school to face the aftermath of the previous night when she interrupted an important school performance, ran past a fuming Ms. Carré, and kissed Max - in front of everyone. Her plan is to blend in and hope no one remembers. It doesn’t work as Ms. Carré calls Lena into her office and expels her.

After being benched as punishment for the mid-season fiasco, Lena wonders how she'll be able to prove to Ms. Carré she's determined to make company if she can't even perform. Frustrated, she escapes to the roof where she is thrilled to discover that she and Henri can actually communicate instantly through their brick. He tells her not to give up.

When an inspired Max approaches Lena with the new idea to use the Baroque themed dance from their previous assignment and blend it with some hip-hop for a BLOK dance - a flash mob, she’s game. An envious Thea watches from the sidelines as Max and Lena lead a rehearsal, choreographing the dance number together.

Fresh off the break up with Henri and furious with Thea for stealing her BLOK mask during the flash mob, Lena is in no mood for Thea’s hijinks and pulls the ultimate prank. Posing as Thea’s idol, Lena leaves a voicemail message that she’s planning to visit the POB School just to see her. An excited and smug Thea tells everyone and is devastated when Lena reveals the truth in front of everyone.

When the BLOK gets a hand delivered invitation to participate in an underground dance competition, everyone is psyched but concerned as most of their challenges come by text. They are supposed to be a secret club, so many wonder who else knows about them. Even with all this, the temptation is too great and the BLOK gladly accept.

The students are abuzz as auditions for the end of season performance approach. When a famous choreographer, Armando Castillo, arrives, everyone is on their best behavior except Max, who seems intent to undermine him. After a heated confrontation, Max lets slip that Armando is his father. His friends are stunned as he always told them that his parents were dead.

After Max’s family secret is revealed, Lena pushes him to confront his father and finally make peace. But when Reuben, leader of El Barrio, enters the rehearsal studio and is introduced as Armando’s son - Max’s brother, anger and jealousy lead to more resentment. Frustrated by Max’s attitude, Lena takes Max to an underprivileged community center with the intent to have Max teach a dance lesson.

Word is out that Lena and Max kissed so Lena takes it upon herself to talk it out with Thea. She is pleasantly surprised when Thea seems happy for the pair. Unbeknownst to Lena, Thea poses as her and sends Henri a letter telling him about Max. Devastated, Henri writes back proclaiming his love and promises to bring Lena back home to 1905 as soon as the portals open.

On a class trip to the museum, Lena gets the shock of her life, when she comes face to face with the Grisky family portrait. In it her mother is wearing a necklace, one she’s never seen before. Engraved on the necklace Lena discovers similar symbols that were on her timepiece that she lost to the Time Collectors. For the first time, Lena wonders if her mother is a time traveler as well.

The pressure is on as the end of year gala is quickly approaching. Armando and Ms. Carré are watching and judging, preparing to decide who gets a solo, who gets a pairs role, and who's exiled to the corp. Lena tries her best to focus, but she’s distracted after learning that her mother is also a time traveller. After Armando stops the rehearsal to scolds the lack of discipline, Lena vows to focus.

Lena’s still grappling with everything she found out about her mother. Dance is the only thing that can keep her mind off it so she throws herself in completely. During the warm up, Max learns that the BLOK has qualified for the Euro Challenge, a big underground dance competition with crew from all over Europe. But this time the dance members balk.

Lena and the BLOK are swamped as they not only rehearse for tomorrow’s gala but also prepare to sneak off after school to their first Euro Challenge. Plans go awry, when a frustrated Armando changes the choreography yet again and announces a late night rehearsal. Lena purposely messes up her routine so badly that Armando has no choice but to give her one-on-one training.
