Coming Home?
The team finds out who purchased the Next Step's building, and with internationals around the corner, the pressure is on to either find a new place to dance or make a huge sacrifice that will hurt the troupe. Much to Riley's surprise, James uses a special talent to help plan his aunt Kathy's wedding.
Game, Set and Match
A-Troupe learns that they will have to compete against Elite - and possibly even their own teammates - for a spot on the internationals team. The pressure is too much, and one of the Next Step's best dancers quits the team.
Secrets
When the doctor tells Emily that she is still unable to dance, she is faced with a tough decision - dance for a spot on A-Troupe and risk a serious injury, or give up her spot and miss out on going to the internationals.
Let the Games Begin
Dancers from the Next Step and Elite are forced to have one-on-one battles for spots on A-Troupe. When dancers from the Next Step are forced to go against each other, the team loses key members.
The Fallout
After multiple dancers are cut from A-Troupe, the team members struggle to cope with the change. The Next Step says goodbye to a close friend, and B-Troupe gets a little bigger.
The Times They Are a Changin'
Giselle comes up against a familiar face in her battle for a spot on A-Troupe. Chloe has the odds stacked against her as she defends her place on the team. At the end of it all, ownership of the Next Step is decided.
Your New Beginning
With the new Elite members having a hard time integrating with the Next Step, Phoebe assigns the dancers a team-building exercise. James plans a surprise for Riley to celebrate a big change in her life.
I'm Your Captain
The Next Step needs to declare a dance captain as the internationals approach. Shantel challenges Giselle for the position, and the one who choreographs the better dance will get it. Also, James enlists Riley's help finding a suit for his aunt Kathy's wedding, and A-Troupe loses another dancer.
The Nutcracker Prince
Eldon challenges West to broaden his dance horizons and audition for a ballet company. West enlists Chloe's help to support him through the audition. James is busy with the band and isn't sure if he'll take the open spot on A-Troupe.
Can't Fight This Feeling
Thalia gets jealous and wonders if things between Michelle and Eldon are really over. Chloe receives an exciting opportunity to help her dance career, but taking it would mean leaving The Next Step. Richelle develops a crush on a member of A-Troupe.
Marry Me
Shortly before Aunt Kathy's wedding, James meets her fiance - a face he hoped he wouldn't see again. When the wedding gets called off, James and Riley rush to get the kooky couple back together and save the day. Sparks fly as Eldon and Thalia teach a J-Troupe class.
Do the Right Thing
Chloe chooses between joining a ballet company and staying at the Next Step. Fed up with Eldon avoiding her, Thalia gets to the bottom of his odd behaviour.
Put You First
James and Riley struggle to find the perfect anniversary gift for each other. Giselle and Thalia question Amanda's place in the trio when Max offers to help. Eldon, West and Cierra discover that Noah has superhuman abilities and put him to the test.
I Hope I Get It

The New Girl in Town

Sweet Spot
Riley and James are assigned a duet for internationals. While James is busy with his band, Ella challenges Riley to have some fun rather than wait around for him. Eldon helps Thalia with her quest to find 'sweet spots' in the studio.
Square Dance

Never There
Michelle's difficulty dealing with her parents' divorce leads to problems within the team. James and Riley walk a mile in each other's shoes. Ella shows Noah that he belongs in A-Troupe.
Cry Me a River
Michelle breaks down under the weight of her parents' divorce and her new status as alternate, so Stephanie tries to help her feel normal again. Noah challenges Eldon's selection as the international soloist. Ella keeps one-upping the boys in their own silly contests.

Blind
The dancers find out that in the second round of Internationals, the dance they had prepared will have to be performed blindfolded. As they struggle to make it work, it becomes apparent that they need to change which dancers perform. Michelle helps Stephanie conquer her stage fright.
Turn, Turn, Turn
