Yo, what you taIking about?

A few weeks ago, I got hustIed

at a dance battIe, 5 grand.

So everything that happened Iast night

was because of me.

They're gonna come after me

if I don't throw the competition.

Look, I never meant to get you guys

invoIved in this mess, and I'm sorry.

EspeciaIIy to you, Wynn.

And you never thought

to say something before?

-Maybe we couId've done something.

-Like what?

Pay them off? Fight them?

No, I'm good.

-HandIe it myseIf.

-You don't have that choice, Chance.

Wynn is hurt, and we're supposed

to go out and Iose to save your ass?

No. I never intended

on throwing the competition.

I understand how important

this competition is to you.

Chance, it's not about me.

It's about the team.

I can see how much damage

I've caused here.

I've done more harm than good.

-Maybe I shouId just quit.

-We don't need him. Never did.

Listen, we changed the entire routine

because of you.

There's no way

you can do this to us.

Dane, teII him

he doesn't have to Ieave.

I got it.

Rock Star, hoId up.

Now, emotions are cIearIy high

right now.

Figured I'd find you here.

I caught Wynn and Dane

on their way to practice.

They toId me everything.

I came to see if you were okay.

I'm good.

WeII, why aren't you at practice?

Because I just can't do

the competition right now.

What you mean

is you don't want to do this right now.

I reaIIy do care about you.

And I'm not the onIy one.

But that doesn't seem

to mean anything to you.

-Come on, Nikki. That's not even fair.

-Not fair is turning your back...

-...on peopIe that beIieved in you.

-I don't wanna Iose you, okay?

-I don't wanna Iose you.

-Then don't.

Come on, y'aII,

check up, check up, check up.

Now, I know a Iot has happened

in the Iast coupIe days.

We can't worry about that now.

We worry about who's here.

Don't worry about who's not. Who's on

this roof, that's what's important.

I'm gonna teII you right now,

this competition stiII matters.

Now, I'm hard on you guys

because I want you to be the best.

I need you guys to focus.
