TVO Kids, Apartment 11 productions and Discovery Kids original. Produced in collaboration with “Cirque du Soleil images.”

At the gym, Nicholas does a front flip and says HI THERE.
WE KNOW THE STUFF WE DO IN THE
SHOW LOOKS PRETTY COOL BUT WE’VE
BEEN TRAINING FOR A LONG TIME
BEFORE COMING TO BIG TOP AND
HERE WE’RE ALWAYS WITH A PRO
COACH.
SO PLEASE DON’T TRY ANY OF THE
MOVES YOU SEE US DO.
WE’RE COUNTING ON YOU TO BE
SAFE.
WE HOPE YOU ENJOY THE SHOW.

The narrator says PREVIOUSLY ON BIG TOP
ACADEMY.

Chase’s mom says to Mimi GIVE ME THE MARBLE.

Chase says NO MORE JOKES MIMI.
WHERE’S THE OTHER PIECE?

Erica says to April MY MOM HAS THIS GREEN STONE
THING.
SHE SAID IT WAS A GIFT FROM HER
OLD FRIEND MIMI MARTEL.

Edie, Erica’s mom, says to Erica SOON EVERY STUDENT AT ROYAL
CIRCUS ACADEMY WILL BE ABLE TO
PERFORM EQUALLY DARING FEATS.

Erica says to April TAKING BTA’S RANKING AS THE
WORLD’S GREATEST CIRCUS SCHOOL.

Axel says MR. LAROCQUE.
DID YOU ENJOY THE SHOW?
YOU WANT ME TO COME ON TOUR WITH
YOU?
BE A CLOWN IN YOUR CIRCUS?

Mister Larocque says UNFORTUNATELY, WE ALREADY HAVE 2
CLOWNS, BUT I REMEMBER YOU’RE
ALSO PRETTY GOOD AT TRAMPOLINE.
I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING WHAT
YOU’VE GOT.

In her office, Edie says I NOTICED YOU’RE STILL
WEARING VIOLETTA’S WATCH.

Miss Martel says I’M NOT HERE TO STIR UP THE
PAST.
I’M HERE TO TALK ABOUT THE
MARBLE.

Edie says WHAT MARBLE?

Erica says to Nicholas NOW GO.
DESTROY THIS THING FOR ALL OUR
SAKES BEFORE MY MOM REALIZES
IT’S GONE.

In the secret room, Nicky says OKAY.

Celeste aims at the marble and the shrinking suit with a laser beam.

They disappear.

Nicky hugs her and says GREAT WORK CELESTE.
NOW DO YOU THINK YOU CAN WALK
MADAME Q THROUGH DESTROYING HER
PIECE OF THE MARBLE?

Celeste says ABSOLUTELY.
SOON THE MARBLE WILL BE GONE
FROM THE WORLD FOREVER.

A hand appears holding a piece of the marble.

Celeste has a video call with Chase’s mom and says THEN 3, 2, 1, SHRINK.

Chase’s mom says REALLY?
AND THE MARBLE JUST DISAPPEARS?

Celeste says A PROCESS SIMILAR TO THE OUTFLOW
FROM SUPER MASSIVE BLACK HOLES
AND IF MY CALCULATIONS ARE
CORRECT, ONCE THE LAST PIECE IS
DESTROYED, EVERYONE SHOULD
DEMARBLEIZE.

April says GUYS, CLOCK’S TICKING, AND ERICA
SAID HER MOM HAS A
PRE-PERFORMANCE RITUAL GOING ON.

Celeste says OKAY.
MADAME Q, PLACE THE MARBLE IN
THE POCKET OF THE SHRINKING
SUIT.

In the woods, Erica speaks to her classmates at RCA and says WE’RE MOMENTS AWAY FROM
THE END OF THE YEAR SHOWCASE.
THE CHANCE TO PROVE THAT ROYAL
CIRCUS ACADEMY IS THE WORLD’S
GREATEST CIRCUS SCHOOL.

Edie says AND THE MARBLE IS OUR PATH TO
GLORY.

Erica says OR BETTER YET, WE COULD USE OUR
INCREDIBLE CIRCUS TALENTS.

Edie says WHY LEAVE ANYTHING TO CHANCE?
WHEN WE CAN GUARANTEE OUR NUMBER
ONE RANKING.
NOW, FOR THOSE OF YOU WILLING TO
USE THE MARBLE, PREPARE TO
BECOME INVINCIBLE.

Chase’s mom points a remote control at a suit and says IN 3, 2, 1.
SHRINK.

April says CELESTE, YOU SAID THIS WOULD
WORK.
WE HAVE TO HURRY.

Meanwhile in the woods, Edie says GIVE ME THE MARBLE.

Erica gives her a pouch.

Edie says WHERE IS THE MARBLE?
ERICA?

Chase’s mom hits the remote against a electrical box and says I HAVE AN IDEA.
SHRINK.

The suit shrinks.

At the same time, Edie experiences demarbelization in the woods.

Erica says WHAT’S HAPPENING?

Celeste says WE DID IT MADAME Q.
YOU DID IT CELESTE.

Edie says MY HEART.
IT FEELS LIGHTER.

Erica says THAT MEANS YOU’RE DEMARBLEIZED.
NICHOLAS MUST HAVE FOUND A WAY
TO DESTROY THE MARBLE.
THIS IS AMAZING.

Edie says AMAZING?
TO HAVE MY SCHOOL
HUMILIATED BY BTA?
THE SHOW IS CANCELED.

She looks at Erica and says AND IT’S ALL YOUR FAULT.

Music plays as the opening credits roll.

In animation, pictures of the athletes appear in frames and on book pages.

Nicholas is in his early teens, with short curly brown hair and wears a blue shirt and a blue sweater.

Maxwell is in his mid-teens, with short light brown hair and wears a burgundy shirt.

April is in her early teens, with long straight blond hair and wears and orange sweater.

Phoenix is in her early teens, with long straight brown hair in pigtails and wears a plaid shirt.

Chase is around 11, with curly brown hair and wears a blue shirt, blue tie and blue blazer.

Ella is round 10, with long straight black hair and wears an orange hooded sweatshirt.

Celeste is in her early teens, with long straight brown hair in a high ponytail and wears a purple top.

Axel is in his mid-teens, with slightly long blond hair and wears a multi-coloured blazer.

As the theme song plays, clips show the athletes performing at the circus school.

The song goes CIRCUS IN MY SOUL,
HAPPINESS IN MY HEART.
BEATING IN TIME,
FULL OF RHYTHM.
AND READY TO START.

The name of the show appears on an illustration of a circus top. It reads “Big Top Academy.”

A caption reads “Produced in collaboration with Cirque du Soleil Images.”

Ella makes a video of Phoenix saying THE THING I LIKE MOST ABOUT BTA
IS THAT WE’LL DO ANYTHING FOR
EACH OTHER.
WE’RE A FAMILY.

Ella says PERFECT.
THANKS PHOENIX.
HEY NICHOLAS.
DIRECTOR EXTRAORDINAIRE.
TALK TO ME ABOUT TODAY’S BIG
SHOW.

Nicholas says CAN’T.
CRAZY BUSY.

Ella says BUT AREN’T YOU SUPPOSED TO BE IN
THE OPENING NUMBER.

Nicholas says WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
YOU’RE NOT ALLOWED TO BE LIVE
STREAMING WITHOUT PERMISSION.

Ella says I’M NOT.
YOUR GIRL, PRESIDENT ELLA
PICCOLO, IS PUTTING TOGETHER A
SUPER SPECIAL VIDEO YEARBOOK SO
COME ON.
TALK TO ME.
IN A SHOWCASE FULL OF OUR
STORIES YOU MUST HAVE A GREAT
ONE.

Nicholas says I WISH I DID BUT SO FAR I’VE GOT
NOTHING.

Ella says NO WONDER.
YOU’RE SO BUSY WITH EVERYONE
ELSE YOU HAVEN’T HAD TIME TO
THINK ABOUT YOURSELF.

Nicholas says YOU’RE RIGHT.

Ella says WELL, TICK TOCK MR. DIRECTOR,
BECAUSE THE SHOW’S TODAY.

Ella and April watch Max practice in the Cyr wheel.

Max says SO, WHAT DO
YOU THINK?

April says THAT IT WOULD SPARKLE EVEN
MORE IF I WAS DOING THIS.

She stars doing some ballet steps in the wheel.

Ella says THAT WAS AMAZING.
YOU GUYS SHOULD TOTALLY DO THAT
IN THE SHOW.

Max says LIKE A DUO?

April says YEAH.
I COULD TOTALLY
SEE IT.

Max says BALLET AND CYR WHEEL.
NOT THE WORST IDEA EVER.

April says ONE OF A KIND COMBO JUST LIKE
YOU AND ME.
(PHONE RINGS)

Max grabs his phone, reads a text and says HAVE YOU TOLD MS. MARTEL YOU’RE
NOT COMING BACK?

April says WHAT’S GOING ON OVER THERE?

Max says JUST MY DAD FIRMING UP PLANS FOR
OVER THE BREAK.
I’M GOING TO NAIROBI.

Ella says IN KENYA?
YOU MUST BE SO EXCITED.

Max says YEAH.
SO EXCITED.

April says SO?
ARE WE DOING A DUO OR WHAT?

Max says NO.
IT’S SUPPOSED TO BE A SOLO SO
IT’S GONNA STAY A SOLO.

April says SERIOUSLY?

Max says SORRY.

Erica walks in and says GUYS, WE HAVE AN EMERGENCY.

Later in the café, Erica says IT HAPPENED SUDDENLY LIKE
POOF.

Celeste says THAT IS AMAZING.
MY CALCULATIONS WERE RIGHT ON.
DESTROY THE MARBLE AND BOOM.
TOTAL DEMARBLEIZATION.

April says YOU MUST BE OVER THE MOON.

Erica says EVERYONE AT RCA IS EXCEPT MY
MOM.

Max says BUT SHE’S DEMARBLEIZED NOW SO
WHY ISN’T SHE HAPPY?

Erica says THE MARBLE MADE HER COLDER BUT
SHE WAS VERY COMPETITIVE AND
ALWAYS HELD A GRUDGE AGAINST
BTA.
NOW THAT SHE CANCELED OUR
PERFORMANCE WE WON’T BE ABLE TO
SHOW OUR STUFF AND EVERYONE WILL
BE HERE WATCHING BTA INSTEAD.

April says I KNOW THE KIDS AT RCA.
THEY’RE AMAZING PERFORMERS.
THEY’VE WORKED HARD ALL YEAR
JUST LIKE US AND NOW THEIR
DREAMS ARE CRUSHED.
WHAT IF RCA COMES AND PERFORMS
WITH BTA FOR THE YEAR END
SHOWCASE?

Erica says YOU WOULD DO THAT?

April says RCA NEEDS OUR HELP.

Nicholas says WE CAN MAKE IT WORK.
I’LL JUST ADD MORE PARTS FOR
EVERYONE.
IT’LL BE AN EVEN MORE EPIC ROCK
OPERA.

Celeste says WOULD YOUR MOM
GO FOR THAT?

April says THERE’S ONLY ONE WAY TO
FIND OUT.

Later at Miss Martel’s office, the girls have a video call with Edie.

April says PLEASE MS. WILLIAMS.
RCA DESERVES A CHANCE TO BE
SEEN.
IT’S ONLY FAIR.

Edie says THAT’S RICH COMING FROM
YOU.
THE GIRL WHO BEGGED ME TO LET
HER IN AFTER SHE GOT KICKED OUT
OF BTA AND THEN ABANDONED US THE
FIRST CHANCE SHE GOT.

April says PLEASE.
ERICA IS MY FRIEND.
JUST TELL ME HOW TO FIX THIS.
ANYTHING.

Edie says ANYTHING?
EVEN A PEACE OFFERING LIKE THAT
WATCH VIOLETTA MADE?

Miss Martel says THIS OLD FUNKY HUNK OF JUNK?

April says SO, IF WE GIVE YOU THE WATCH
EVERYONE WILL GET TO PERFORM?
WIN WIN?

Miss Martel says YES.
WHY NOT?
IT ONLY TELLS TIME AND NOT EVEN
VERY WELL.

Celeste whispers in April’s ears IF THAT’S A VIOLETTA FIRTH
INVENTION WE CAN’T JUST HAND IT
OVER.

April says CAN I SEE THE WATCH FOR A
SECOND?
VIOLETTA’S STUFF IS ALWAYS SO
COOL.

Miss Martel gives April the watch. She passes it to Celeste and Celeste takes something out of it.

Edie says I DON’T HAVE ALL DAY.

April says SO, DO WE HAVE A DEAL?
WE GIVE YOU THE WATCH AND YOU’LL
LET YOUR SCHOOL PERFORM?

Edie says CONSIDER THE RIVALRY ANCIENT
HISTORY.

Erica and April hug. Celeste holds on tight to the piece.

In the dressing room, Nicholas remembers a conversation with Ella.

Ella says IN A SHOWCASE FULL OF OUR
STORIES YOU MUST HAVE A GREAT
ONE.

Nicholas says I WISH I DID BUT SO FAR
I’VE GOT NOTHING.

He remembers what happened when he opens his amulet near his dad’s suit.

He takes the mask and puts it on.

He takes it off and says NO.
THIS CAN’T BE MY STORY.

In the dorms, Chase tries on wigs and says HEY ROOMIE.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
GLAM ROCK GREEN OR ROCKABILLY
BLACK?
OKAY.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

Nicholas says I’M REWRITING THE OPENING NUMBER
FOR THE SHOW.
I’M WRITING MYSELF OUT.

Chase says WHAT?
NO.
YOU CAN’T.
WE’RE ALL TELLING OR STORIES.
YOU HAVE TO TELL YOURS.

Nicholas says I DON’T KNOW WHAT THAT IS.

Chase says SURE YOU DO.
YOU CAME HERE LOOKING FOR YOUR
DAD WITH HIS AMULET FOR A GUIDE.
FOUND THE MARBLE, GOT MEAN,
FOUND YOUR DAD AND ON TOP OF IT
ALL YOU GOT THE BEST ROOMMATE
EVER.
SERIOUSLY THE EAGLE IS YOUR
STORY.

Nicholas says YEAH BUT I DON’T WANT IT TO BE.
THE EAGLE TOOK MY DAD AWAY.
I LOST HIM FOR 10 YEARS.

Chase says I GET THAT AND I GET HOW MUCH IT
HURT YOU BUT YOUR DAD’S HERE NOW
AND HE’S NOT GOING ANYWHERE.
YOUR DAD IS PART OF YOUR STORY.

Nicholas says SO MAYBE HE COULD HELP ME TELL
IT.

April says WHAT DOES AN OLD BOOK HAVE TO DO
WITH VIOLETTA FIRTH AND AND A
WATCH.

Celeste says IT’S NOT JUST ANY BOOK.
IT’S THE SECRET BOOK OF CIRCUS
SECRETS.
FOR YEARS STUDENTS HAVE WRITTEN
DOWN CIRCUS TRICKS, PRANKS, AND
TRADITIONS.

April says AND HOW MANY PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT
THIS?

Celeste says QUITE A FEW.
THIS IS WHERE VIOLETTA LEFT ME
ALL OF HER KNOWLEDGE.
HERE HOLD THIS.
VIOLETTA MUST HAVE HAD A PURPOSE
FOR THE WATCH.
JUST LIKE WITH ALL HER OTHER
INVENTIONS.
HERE IT IS.
THE WATCH IS A TIME STOPPER.
WHEN YOU SET THE TIME TO 9:15
PRESS THE BUTTON AND AIM IT AT
SOMETHING.
IT’LL SLOW DOWN THE MOVEMENT OF
THE ATOMS TO ALMOST ZERO.
WE’RE LUCKY I TOOK THIS OUT.

April says TOTALLY.
WHY 9:15.

Celeste says NO IDEA.

April says AND FREEZING IN TIME.
DOES THAT REALLY WORK?

Celeste says VIOLETTA SAYS IT DOES.
WELL...DID.
I GUESS IT’S LIKE WHEN A BEAR
HIBERNATES.

April says IT’S METABOLISM SLOWS DOWN.
WE LEARNED THAT IN SCIENCE
CLASS.

Celeste keeps reading and says IF AN ACROBAT WAS FALLING THEY
COULD BE FROZEN IN MID AIR SO
THEY COULD BE RESCUED.

April says OH MY CIRCUS.
I BETTER GET THAT TIME STOPPER
BACK BEFORE EDIE GETS HER HANDS
ON IT.

Celeste says OKAY, AND I’LL FIND OUT IF
THERE’S ANYWAY TO UNSTOP THE
TIME STOPPER JUST IN CASE.

April says GOOD IDEA.

Nicholas walks in the gym.

Nicky says HEY NICHOLAS.

Nicholas says HEY.
I’VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT HOW TO
TELL MY STORY ON STAGE TONIGHT.

Nicky says AND?

Nicholas says I’M PICTURING ESMERALDA FALLS IN
THE BACKGROUND AS YOU WALK THE
WIRE.

Nicky says I DON’T UNDERSTAND.

Nicholas says WE’LL SET UP THE WIRE IN THE GYM
AND RECORD THE WALK BEFORE THE
SHOW THEN WE’LL PROJECT THE
VIDEO ONTO THE IMAGE OF THE
FALLS.

Nicky says YEAH THAT SOUNDS AMAZING.

Nicholas says THEN YOU WEARING THE EAGLE SUIT
WILL DROP DOWN TOWARDS THE CROWD
AND THAT’LL START THE SHOW.

Nicky says SPOKEN LIKE A TRUE VISIONARY BUT
I’M NOT DOING IT.

Nicholas says WHY NOT?
IT’S TIME FOR ME TO ACCEPT THAT
YOU’RE MY STORY.
I CAME TO BE BTA BECAUSE I
WANTED TO BE YOU.

Nicky says OKAY BUT IT’S ALSO TIME FOR YOU
TO LEAVE THE NEST AND TELL THAT
STORY.
SON, THIS IS YOUR SHOW, ALL
RIGHT, AND YOUR TIME TO FLY.

April walks in the props room and says YOU’RE HERE?

Erica says I’M MEETING MY MOM
TO GIVE HER THE WATCH.

April says ACTUALLY, YOU HAVE
TO GIVE IT TO ME.

Erica says WHY?
WE PROMISED IT TO MY MOM AND WHO
CARES.
IT’S JUST A HUNK OF JUNK.

April says NO.
IT FREEZES PEOPLE IN TIME.

Erica says WHAT?

April says IT’S JUST LIKE THE MARBLE.
IT WAS CREATED TO KEEP CIRCUS
ARTISTS SAFE BUT IN THE WRONG
HANDS...

Erica says BUT IF WE DON’T GIVE THE WATCH
TO MY MOM WE DON’T GET TO
PERFORM.
SHE PROBABLY DOESN’T EVEN KNOW
WHAT IT DOES.

April says ERICA, WE’LL FIND A WAY FOR RCA
TO PERFORM.
I PROMISE.
BUT DO YOU REALLY WANT SOMETHING
AS POWERFUL AS THE WATCH IN YOUR
MOTHER’S HANDS?

Erica gives her the watch.

April grabs a club and as she tries to destroy it, she says NOT NOW.
NOT EVER.

Edie walks in and says WHY RUIN A PERFECTLY GOOD
WATCH?

She snatches the watch off the table and says AN EXQUISITE PIECE OF JEWELRY.
EXCEPT FOR THIS MISSING PIECE.
ANYONE KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS?
THEN DON’T YOU GIRLS HAVE
REHEARSALS TO GET TO?

Edie inspects the watch with a magnifying glass and says UGH, VIOLETTA.
ALWAYS SOME KIND OF TRICK.

In her room, Celeste reads the book and says WAIT.
VIOLETTA WROTE ABOUT EDIE?
EDIE WILLIAMS HAS A KEEN
INTEREST IN MECHANICS BUT WHEN I
FOUND HER TINKERING IN MY LAB, I
REALIZED I CAN NEVER SHARE MY
INVENTIONS WITH HER.
SHE’S NOT TO BE TRUSTED.

Meanwhile, Edie takes a piece off her pocket and replaces the missing piece.

The watch lights up.

Celeste says COME ON VIOLETTA.
THERE’S GOT TO BE SOMETHING IN
HERE THAT TELLS ME HOW TO SPEED
UP THE MOLECULES.

Edie puts on the watch.

Nicky walks in and says EDIE?
WHAT ARE YOU DOING BACK HERE?

Edie says JUST TINKERING AND AS A MATTER
OF FACT I NEED A TEST SUBJECT.

She points the watch at Nicky and freezes him.

She approaches him and says ANY OBJECTIONS NICKY?
I’LL TAKE YOUR SILENCE AS A NO.

She dresses him like a mannequin clown and says YOU LOOK GOOD NICKY.

Right before the show in the dressing room, Ella makes a video and says AXEL, HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT
PERFORMING WITH JACQUES LAROCQUE
TODAY?

Axel says NERVOUS.
SHOULD I DO WHAT MR. LAROCQUE

Ella says WANTS OR SHOULD I FOLLOW MY
HEART?
WHAT’S IT GONNA BE?
CLOWNING OR TRAMPOLINE?

Axel says I WISH I KNEW.
ROSA, YOU LOOK HAPPY.

Rosa says I AM.
THIS IS MY BIGGEST ROLE YET.
FINALLY I’M NOT INVISIBLE.

Ella says OF COURSE NOT.
YOU’RE A STAR.

Rosa says EVEN BETTER.
I’M A BUTTERFLY.

Phoenix says WHAT’S UP?
PRE-SHOW JITTERS?

Nicholas says HAVE YOU SEEN MY DAD?
I THOUGHT HE’D BE BACK HERE.

Phoenix shakes her head.

Nicholas says I WANTED TO TELL HIM THAT I
DECIDED TO WALK THE WIRE.

Max says I’M SURE HE’S GOT A FRONT
ROW SEAT ZOLTA.
YOUR DAD WOULD NOT MISS THIS FOR
ANYTHING.

Nicholas says I HOPE SO.

In the light control room, Celeste works on a contraption.

April walks in and says THERE YOU ARE.
YOU SAID YOU WOULD HELP ME WITH
MY MAKE-UP.
TELL ME WHATEVER THAT IS, IT
STOPS THE TIME STOPPER.

Celeste says I’M STILL WORKING ON IT.
I CAN’T BELIEVE EDIE GOT THE
WATCH.

April says IT’S OKAY.
YOU TOOK OUT THAT PIECE
REMEMBER.

Celeste says EDIE’S A TINKERER.
SHE CAN FIX STUFF.
THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM.

April says I GET THAT BUT WHAT ABOUT THE
SHOW?

Celeste says IT’LL BE GREAT AND I’LL KEEP
WORKING ON THIS DURING
INTERMISSION.

The team gets ready for the show.

April says HEY EVERYONE, GATHER UP.
TODAY BTA AND RCA STAND TOGETHER
AMONG FRIENDS NEW AND OLD.
STRONGER THAN EVER.

Nicholas says APRIL’S RIGHT.
THIS ISN’T ABOUT
RANKINGS ANYMORE.
THIS IS ABOUT US.

April says SO LET’S DO THIS FOR US.

Chase says BTA ON 3 AND RCA!

They all join their hands and say 1, 2, 3.
BTA AND RCA.
WOO!
LET’S GO.

Nicholas opens the show in an eagle suit. The athletes do all kinds of acrobatics.

Ella and Celeste do a trapeze number.

(CLAPPING)
(CLAPPING AND CHEERING)

Rosa performs in the silks and April in the aerial hoop.

Now Phoenix performs in the trapeze.

As an RCA athlete stands on one hand, the BTA girls go up in the hanging cube.

(CLAPPING AND CHEERING)
(CLAPPING)

The performances get a standing ovation.

As they finish, the girls go backstage.

Chase says THAT WAS SO AWESOME, WOOHOO!

Phoenix says HEY, WHAT’S UP?

Nicholas says MY DAD WASN’T IN THE CROWD.
SOMETHING’S WRONG.
I CAN FEEL IT.

Phoenix says I MEAN IT IS SHOW DAY.
YOUR DAD MAYBE GOT BUSY WITH
SOMETHING?

Nicholas says TO BUSY TO TELL ME?
TOO BUSY TO WATCH ME PERFORM AS
THE EAGLE?

Phoenix says I KNOW.
JUST TAKE A DEEP BREATH.

Nicholas says I CAN’T LOSE HIM AGAIN PHOENIX.

Phoenix says HEY.
I’M HERE, OKAY?
AND WE’LL FIND YOUR DAD
TOGETHER.

Nicholas says LET’S KEEP LOOKING.

Phoenix sees Nicky on a corner and says WAIT.

Nicholas says DAD?

Max approaches April and says WE NEED TO TALK.
I’M BUSY.
I HAVE TO FIX MY HAT FOR ACT 2.

Max says I NEED TO EXPLAIN WHY I GOT SO
WEIRD ABOUT THE SOLO.

April says I GET IT.
MAXWELL RAYNE DOESN’T WANT TO
SHARE THE SPOTLIGHT.
LONE WOLF ‘TIL THE END.

Max says IT’S NOT IT.
YOU KNOW HOW I’M GOING AWAY THIS
SUMMER WITH MY DAD?

April says YEAH.

Max says WELL, THERE’S A VERY REAL
POSSIBILITY THAT I’M NOT COMING
BACK.

April says WHAT?

Max says MY DAD GOT A JOB AT A CIRCUS
SCHOOL AND HE WANTS ME TO STAY
WITH HIM IN NAIROBI.

April says AND WHEN WERE YOU GONNA TELL ME
THIS?

Max says I WAS JUST TRYING TO FIND THE
RIGHT TIME.

April says SO INSTEAD YOU PUSHED ME AWAY?

Max says I’M SORRY.
I JUST DIDN’T WANT US PERFORMING
TOGETHER AND GETTING EVEN
CLOSER.

April says AND INSTEAD YOU DROP A BOMBSHELL
ON ME DURING THE INTERMISSION OF
OUR BIGGEST PERFORMANCE EVER?

Ella says GUYS, YOU GOTTA SEE THIS BUT WE
HAVE TO HURRY.
LET’S GO!
They all gather around Nicky.

Erica says NO WAY.

Rosa says WHAT’S WRONG WITH GRAN
NICKY?

Celeste says I READ ABOUT THIS IN THE BOOK.
HE’S OKAY BUT HE’S BEEN FROZEN
IN TIME BY A VIOLETTA FIRTH
INVENTION.
THE TIME STOPPER.

Nicholas says CAN YOU FIX HIM?

Celeste says I DON’T KNOW.
I’M WORKING ON IT.

Phoenix says WELL NOW WE HAVE TO FIND EDIE.

Max says SO LET’S DIVIDE UP AND FIND HER.
COME ON.

Phoenix says OKAY, LET’S GO.

Max says WAIT.
CAN WE REALLY TRUST YOU?

Erica says MY MOM HAS TO BE STOPPED EVEN IF
I’LL LOSE HER FOREVER.

Chase walks in and says GUYS, I CAN’T FIND MS. MARTEL
ANYWHERE.

Chase spots frozen Nicky and says WHAT IS GOING ON?

April says EDIE IS GOING ON AND WE NEED TO
FIND HER NOW.
ERICA, DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA
WHERE YOUR MOM COULD BE?

Erica says SHE KNOWS THIS PLACE INSIDE OUT.
SHE’D BE AT THE MOST SECRET
SPOT.

Chase says THEN I KNOW EXACTLY WHERE SHE
IS.
COME ON.

Chase takes them to the secret room.

As they walk in, Chase sees Miss Martel frozen and says MS. MARTEL?

April says WHOA.

Edie says I SEE YOU MET MY SPECIAL
GUEST.

April says WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?
FOR REVENGE?

Edie says YOU’RE NOT SEEING THE BIG
PICTURE.
WITH BTA OUT OF THE WAY WE’LL
SHOW EVERYONE THAT RCA IS THE
WORLD’S GREATEST CIRCUS SCHOOL.

Chase says YOU WON’T GET AWAY WITH
THIS.

April says WE’RE GOING TO STOP YOU.

Edie chuckles and says HOW CUTE.

Edie freezes Chase and April.

Erica says MOM.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

Edie says THE TIME HAS COME FOR YOU
TO PICK A SIDE.
WILL YOU MOVE UP IN THE WORLD
WITH YOUR MOTHER OR BE FROZEN IN
TIME WITH THE REST OF THEM?
LET’S GO.

They walk out of the room.

Celeste walks in and says GUYS, I DON’T KNOW IF YOU CAN
HEAR ME BUT I THINK I FIGURED
OUT A WAY TO WARM UP THE
MOLECULES AND GET THEM MOVING
AGAIN.
HERE GOES NOTHING.

She shoots a laser beam at them but nothing changes.

Celeste remembers the video call with Chase’ mom.

Chase’ mom says I HAVE AN IDEA.

She starts banging the remote against the electrical box.

Celeste bangs the contraption against something and shoots again.

She says MOVE, PLEASE.

Frustrated, she walks out.

As she leaves the room, Miss Martel starts unfreezing.

Meanwhile in the props room, Max says ANYTHING?

Nicholas says WHERE’S CHASE AND CELESTE AND
APRIL?

Max says MORE IMPORTANTLY WHERE ARE ERICA
AND EDIE?

Edie says ASK AND YOU SHALL RECEIVE.

Rosa says WHAT DID YOU DO TO GRAN NICKY?

Nicholas says ROSA, NO.

Edie freezes Rosa, Nicholas and Max.

Erica says MOM, ENOUGH.

Celeste walks in and says MY FIRST TRY DIDN’T WORK BUT I
THINK IF I TWEAK THE BEAM
INTENSITY WE CAN STOP EDIE.

Celeste sees Edie’s in the room and says NO.

Edie freezes Celeste.

Erica says MOM.
PLEASE DON’T.

Edie says WHY NOT?
THIS IS JUST STEP ONE.
IN STEP TWO ONLY RCA TAKES THE
STAGE FOR THE SECOND ACT AND OUR
NUMBER ONE RANKING IS
GUARANTEED.

Erica says BTA WAS NICE TO US.
THEY CHANGED THEIR WHOLE SHOW
JUST TO GIVE IS A CHANCE.

Edie says IT’S TIME TO STEP OUT OF BTA’S
SHADOW.

Miss Martel says EXCEPT YOUR TIME IS UP.

Erica says APRIL, YOU’RE UNFROZEN.

Edie says NOT FOR LONG.

Erica steps in front of April.

Edie says ERICA MOVE NOW.

Erica says NO.
IF YOU WANT TO FREEZE THEM
YOU’RE GONNA HAVE TO GO THROUGH
ME.

Edie says MY OWN DAUGHTER STANDS
AGAINST ME.

Erica says IT’S BECAUSE I LOVE YOU AND I
KNOW YOU’RE BETTER THAN THIS.

As she points the watch at Miss Martel, Mimi walks in and grabs her hand.

Miss Martel says MIMI?

Mimi says STAY AWAY FROM MY SISTER
YOU MONSTER.

Edie says YOU WANTED REVENGE ON BTA
JUST AS MUCH AS ME.
YOU GAVE ME THE MARBLE.

Mimi says BUT THEN MADAME Q SENT ME
TO VILLAIN REHAB AND I LEARNED
SELF CONTROL AND NOW I NEED TO
RIGHT MY WRONGS.

She takes the watch off Edie’s wrist and says I BELIEVE THIS IS YOURS SIS.

Miss Martel says THANKS.

Erica says WAIT MOM.
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO TO HER?

Miss Martel says WE’RE TAKING HER SOMEWHERE SHE
CAN GET BETTER.

Erica says I WON’T GIVE UP ON YOU.
I PROMISE.

Edie says I KNOW YOU WON’T.

April says YOU DID IT.
YOU STOOD UP TO YOUR MOM.
BUT WE’RE NOT DONE YET.

April grabs Celeste’s contraption and says OKAY.

She unfreezes everyone.

Celeste says MY UNSTOPPER WORKED.

April says IT LOOKS LIKE.
HOW DID YOU DO IT?

Celeste says HONESTLY?
I BANGED IT ON A TABLE.

Nicholas says DAD.

Nicholas and Nicky hug.

Celeste says WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO
NOW?

Nicholas says THE SHOW MUST GO ON.

Max and April hug.

The second act starts with a clown act by Axel and Chase.

Chase steals a ball from Axel and they engage in a fake fight on the trapeze.

Axel does a solo jumping act on the trapeze.

(CLAPPING)
(CLAPPING AND CHEERING)
(CLAPPING AND LAUGHING)

Mister Larocque stands up and says BRAVO.

He looks at Axel and does a fist pump in approval.

(CLAPPING)
(CLAPPING AND CHEERING)

Now RCA athletes perform. As a girl skates and later does an aerial number, a boy does tricks in a bike and another boy rides a unicycle.

Now Max and two other athletes perform in the Cyr wheel.

April joins Max in his performance on the wheel.

(CLAPPING AND CHEERING)
(CLAPPING AND CHEERING)
(CLAPPING AND CHEERING)

Now Ella does a jumping rope number as the athletes take their bows.

(CLAPPING)
(CLAPPING)
(CLAPPING AND CHEERING)

Confetti comes down from the ceiling.

(CLAPPING AND CHEERING)
(CLAPPING AND CHEERING)

Later at the courtyard, Nicholas says HEY.

Nicky says OH, HEY.

Nicholas says I WAS SO SCARED I HAD LOST YOU
AGAIN AND I WOULDN’T BE ABLE TO
SAY THAT I KNOW YOU BELIEVE IN
ME.

Nicky says WELL, TODAY WASN’T EXACTLY MY
FAVORITE BUT ANY DAY IS WITH YOU
IS BETTER THAN A DAY WITHOUT
YOU.

Nicholas says OH.
I ALMOST FORGOT.

He pulls out the amulet and says HERE.

Nicky says I THOUGHT THE AMULET WAS
DESTROYED.

Nicholas says IT WAS.
THAT’S WHY I HAD TWO NEW ONES
MADE.
ONE FOR EACH OF US.
WE’RE ZOLTAS AND NO MATTER WHAT
HAPPENS WE’LL ALWAYS BE PART OF
EACH OTHER’S STORIES.

They hug.

Phoenix says NICHOLAS.
COME ON.

Nicky says GO.

Nicholas joins his classmates around the bonfire.

Phoenix says TONIGHT.
WE DON’T SAY GOODBYE.
WE SAY SEE YOU DOWN THE ROAD
BECAUSE EVEN WHEN APART WE’RE
NEVER REALLY FAR AWAY.

Ella says YOU GUYS.
I FINISHED MY VIDEO.
DO YOU WANNA SEE IT?

Phoenix says YEAH.

Ella plays the video on a screen.

Phoenix says THE THING I LIKE MOST ABOUT BTA
IS THAT WE’LL DO ANYTHING FOR
EACH OTHER.
WE’RE A FAMILY.

The team laughs as the video shows them doing silly things.

(LAUGHING)

(LAUGHING)

Axel scratches Chase’s nose as he juggles.

Chase says JUST RIGHT.
(LAUGHING)

Ella says MY LIFE HASHTAG AMAZING.
(LAUGHING)
(LAUGHING)

Max says 1, 2, 3, BTA!
(LAUGHING)

Chase says OKAY, BYE.
(CLAPPING)

Rosa says THAT WAS AMAZING ELLA.

Chase says NO, IT WAS AWESOME.

April says I CAN’T BELIEVE IT’S THE LAST
NIGHT OF OUR FIRST YEAR AT BTA.

Max plays the violin and Celeste plays the guitar.

(VIOLIN PLAYING)

They sing a song that goes STANDING, WAITING, WISHING,
WANTING.
LIKE A ROCK TRY TO BE
STEADY.
BE MYSELF.
CAN’T WASTE THIS MOMENT.
SHOW THE WORLD THAT I AM
READY.

Clips from previous episodes roll.

Chase says to Nicholas YOU CAN TRUST ME.
WE’RE ROOMMATES AND ROOMMATES
HAVE GOT TO TRUST EACH OTHER.
JUST LIKE REAL BROTHERS.

Nicholas says to Max LET’S DO SOMETHING OUR DADS
COULDN’T.
PERFORM AS TRUE EQUALS.

Max says TRUE EQUALS.

They shake hands.

Phoenix pies Sir Rayne.

Max says IT WASN’T PHOENIX.
I THREW THAT PIE.

Phoenix says MAX, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

Max says WHAT ARE FRIENDS FOR?

Phoenix says YOU’RE STILL AN AMAZING
CIRCUS ARTIST ROSA.
YOU DON’T NEED AN AWARD TO TELL
YOU THAT.

April says WE’RE GONNA LOOK BAD.

Rosa says AT LEAST WE’LL LOOK BAD
TOGETHER.

April says to Axel NOW WE HAVE TWO HOURS TO TEACH
YOU HOW TO STAND UP TO YOUR DAD.

In the dressing room, Axel says DON’T WORRY WE’RE STILL
CELESTE AND AXEL.
CEL-AX.

Celeste says COME ON ELLA.
WHAT’S WRONG?

Ella says I JUST DON’T LIKE WHEN THINGS
CHANGE.

Celeste says I’M HERE TO HELP YOU THROUGH IT.

Ella says YOU’RE THE BEST CELESTE.

Ella says to Chase PEOPLE NEED TO FOLLOW THEIR
HEARTS AND YOU SHOULD FOLLOW
YOURS.

Chase says SERIOUSLY?

They hug.

Chase says THAT’S A WRAP.

Chase and Ella high-five.
