In this episode, the dance troupe is gearing up for a Regional competition. Everyone is excited, and the buzz has everyone eagerly anticipating the competition. The Next Step Studio has two main teams - A-Troupe and B-Troupe. A-Troupe is the elite team, consisting of the eleven most talented dancers at the Studio, while B-Troupe is made up of the other dancers at the Studio. Both teams are working hard, preparing and rehearsing for the competition.

As preparations go on, a new addition is made to the Studio's team. Richelle, a new dancer at the studio, comes in, and her addition excites everyone. Although Richelle is talented, her arrival still stirs up tension among the dancers, as they all strive to impress the studio's dance director, Kate.

Eldon, one of the leading dancers at the studio, is given a choreographic project, and he seeks advice from his friend, Michelle, who is also a lead dancer. Michelle advises him to take things slow and plan his rehearsals, helping him prepare better for his project.

Meanwhile, Chloe and Emily are competing for the title of Dance Captain. The title is important as it gives the Dance Captain the power to make critical decisions for the team. Emily has been the Dance Captain for the past two years, and Chloe wants to take that title away from her. To do that, Chloe challenges Emily to a dance-off to determine who the winner will be. The stakes are high as the winner takes it all, and the loser is left to return to their status as a regular dancer.

As the competition draws near, A-Troupe is confident they will win. However, when the dance routines for the other teams are seen, the competition gets even tougher, and everyone gets more anxious about their chances of emerging as winners.
