Okay. Thank you all.

I'll be posting the results outside of

my office today at 5:00 p.m. sharp.

Whoo!

Good luck.

Dancers!

Results

are posted inside!

Okay, come on. Let's go.

Okay.

Wait.

Shouldn't we go look?

We just don't wanna

look desperate.

See, that's fine with me. I was the

last name on the list last year.

- Come on. Let's go be desperate together.

- Okay.

Let's go.

I made it.

I made it.

- How did that happen?

- Yeah, how did that happen, Jamaica?

- Seriously, dude?

- No, I'm just kidding.

Jamaica, you know

we got your back, bro.

- Hey, I made it though.

- Hey, yo!

At least you tried.

I'm sorry, Sky.

You did well.

Come on.

Yeah.

Mm-hmm.

Congratulations.

You are all Pulsar now.

Hey!

All right, all right. For our

dancers who are new to the crew,

I expect you to learn fast and

live up to the crew's reputation.

And for those members

who are returning,

I expect you

to raise your game,

so don't think you can rely

on what you did last year, okay?

- Don't forget about Angelique.

- Ah.

We do have one minor hiccup.

As you may have noticed,

Angelique is not here.

She had to withdraw because her family

is moving back to West Virginia.

So, her spot will be going

to our alternate,

Skyler.

- What?

- Who?

Skyler.

And since she's your sister, I will let you

have the honor of giving her the good news.

Oh, okay. Well, she'll

be surprised for sure.

All right.

Let's spread out and stretch.

- Hello?

- Hey, girl.

- Hey.

- I got some good news.

It actually looks

like you made Pulsar.

What? Nah, you lyin'.

But, listen,

we're rehearsing right now,

and I know you're busy,

so if you can't make it...

No, no.

No, I'm on my way. Bye.

- I'm so ready.

Well, come on.

Okay, drop your stuff.

on the scene tonight

as a Pulsar?

Wait, tonight?

- Rehearsals just started.

- No, no, no, tonight.

No, girl. She's talkin' about

showin' up at the club

and lettin' 'em know

what we do.

See that? See that?

Now, that... I can do.

Okay.

Come sit your ass down.

So how does it feel

to be one of the crew, Sis?

Oh, my God, it feels good.

Come on, girls. We're not gonna

get any play just sitting here.

- Let's go!

- Finally.

Let's go to town.

Let's go.

Girl, you know

That you break them necks

Break them necks

Make me break a sweat

Damn, baby

When you do that stretch

Make me lose my head

I can't handle it

Working out your business

Checking out your business

It's looking like

It's Christmas

Watch you work

'Cause you're so delicious

Everybody, hands in the air

Wave 'em round like

They just don't care

Sky, I didn't know

you could dance like that.

Neither did I.

Girl, looked more

like possession to me.

- Don't hate, Maya.

- Hey, it was sexy to me.

If you into that hood-vibe

thing, I guess.

Oh, why y'all throwin'

all this shade at our girl?

You looked good

on the floor.

- Maya got her stare on.

- He's been starin' at me since we got up in here.

Can I have him

when you're done?

You want

Maya's leftovers?

I have three older sisters.

I'm used to hand-me-downs.

Wait, wait, wait. Maya, before

you get too excited, dear,

I think you readin' him

all wrong.

How is that, Tosha?

Oh, you didn't see him

lookin' this way?

Girl, good night,

all right?

I saw him first.

Don't try it.

I don't know why you all

are being so possessive.

Men are like buses.

You wait long enough, another

one comes back around.

Nia, open your eyes. That boy is not a bus.

He's a Ferrari. Vroom!

Girl, you know

you want him.

I like the way you move.

You dope.

Oh!

I'm Tyrell.

Skyler.

All of y'all was tight on the floor.

You all a dance crew?

- Yeah, we are. The Pulsar.

- Really?

- Yeah.

- So you've heard of us?

Of course I have. Well, look,

y'all have fun, all right?

- Hey, you wanna dance and show me some more moves?

- Yeah, yeah.

Shut up. I'm just goin'

to the bathroom.

You look thirsty. You want a

little somethin' to drink?

Save some for us

later, girl.

At 16, no, I didn't

Have much though

Knew too many kids

That grew up like us though

I really mean it when I say

I had it rough though

So many things that I wanted

Heard no, no, no

So many times

I wanted them J's

Risin' to the top

Imagining, yeah

I feel like

They just didn't know

So, watch me when I did it

Hate me when I win it

You say I can't get it

Everyone will know

But they shady

No one wants to listen

No one mind they business

Know in time

I gonna make it, make it

You quiet.

I'm just eatin' my cereal

like I always do.

You look like you got

something on your mind.

Tyrell, maybe?

- Why are you pressin' that?

- Why you got a attitude?

You're not jealous that he asked

me to dance and not you, right?

Why I gotta be jealous? I can't

just ask you a question?

I ain't gonna ask you nothin' else.

- Hi.

- Hey, babe.

What are you doing here

so early?

- Just checkin' to see if you're okay.

- Why wouldn't I be?

Oh, I've been callin' you

all night.

Oh, damn.

My battery died yesterday,

and by the time we got home,

I done forgot to put it on

the charger, I was so tired.

Oh, no, babe, that's fine.

I was just on my way to work.

- Wanted to make sure my girl was okay.

- Oh!

That's so sweet.

That's not sweet.

That's stalker-ish.

Yeah, right. So, where

were you last night?

Oh, I meant to tell you.

I made Pulsar.

What? Are you serious?

What, you think

I'm makin' it up?

No, no. Congratulations, babe.

I had no idea.

Everybody who made the dance group,

we all went out to celebrate.

- So, that's what I was doing yesterday.

- You should've called me.

- I'd have met up with you guys.

- It wasn't that kinda scene.

It was just the dancers. Like, literally.

We just went out...

No, it was just us dancers.

She right.

Just us dancers

doin' dancer things.

- You know what we do.
