It's not that she completely lost hope, but she needs that audition to be absolutely perfect. Andy used to her having moments of self doubt, is trying her best to reassure her as he brushes her shoulder. Miss Howard doesn't want perfection, but Daph is still upset anyway.

Andy, deciding to be bold, gently takes her hand in his. The two teenagers are used to touching each other by rehearsing over and over again, but this moment still causes Daphne's heart to skip a beat.

When it comes to rehearsals, Andy and her are more in sync… A little too much even as sometimes a hug last longer than it should, or when Andy's hand brushes Daphne's a little more than he planned to. However that's usually when things start to go downhills and suddenly one of them forgets about their lines or stumbles in their words. And the more time goes, the more Daphne struggles to see when she'll get back to drama club.

The lunch break doesn’t arrive quickly enough for young girls, especially since Daph really wants to talk to Dora, in order to know if 𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙤𝙣𝙚 has finally come to talk to her. But Dora only shrugs as an answer and Daph is particularly disappointed to know that still nothing has happened with Orange. And yet, on the other side of the cafeteria, Orange does not seem to let go of Pandora’s eyes for a single second, following her every move as he settles down at his own table.

In class, Daph is already doing so much better than at the beginning of the year. She could have plagirize a poem but being raised by a poem writer 𝙖𝙣𝙙 a movie director, she knows better than to steal someone's work. Channeling her inner Isabelle Sanford, she does her best and it's actually 𝙜𝙤𝙤𝙙!

On Daph's side, the teen is still trying to juggle between classes, revisions, and rehearsals, and tends to prioritize her academic record lately, so much so that Andy finds himself cornering her at the food vending machine to hope to have a moment with her.

She reluctantly agrees to study with him but quickly regrets it as he cannot stop yapping in her ears, barely opening his notebook. She's even surprised she managed to study at all, maybe she's getting used to having him by her side…

Elliot takes the opportunity to bring Erica back to her home, even carrying her bag. The latter is a bit embarrassed, without really knowing why, and involuntarily slows down the pace. Elliot noticing it, extends a hand to her, which Erica accepts without hesitation.

The walk to her place is short, 𝙩𝙤𝙤 𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙧𝙩 for her taste. So when Elliot hands him her bag, she leans towards him, and decides to kiss him on the cheek without trying to think too much about it. Elliot, caught of guards, begins to blush and stumble, not knowing what to say anymore.

Having no reason to not let Elli stays anymore, Aria gives Erica's lesson with him by her side. As usual, the class is done in music, but this time coming from Elliot, who uses it as an opportunity to practice. Erica is a little disturbed by his presence but tries not to let anything appear.

As she paints carelessly, trying to pass time as she waits for Erica to start their evening classes, she finally hears the front door opens. But this time, it's Elliot who appears. Aria is obviously happy to see him but a little surprised and even more when he begs to stay with her.

Any other day, Aria would have accept without thinking twice about it. But knowing Erica could come at any second now, she tries to find an excuse to dismiss him. But Elli hasn’t said his last word, and stunnes her even more when he tells her being aware of his friend’s private lessons. When Erica finally arrives, she tries to come up quickly with a reason for her presence here, but Aria cuts her shortly. On his side, Elliot is atonished by everyone's reaction. Yes he's been more than once in his own head, but that doesn't mean it doesn't pay attention to his two favorite girls…

END OF PART SEVENTEEN

Isa quickly hides her feelings as everyone decides to share a moment together in the VIP section. But Thorne feels the need to talk again about Daph and Orange's scandal and Isa tries so hard to not roll her eyes at her best friend's husband comments.

Octavia can feel that Isa is going to be more aggressive if he doesn't stop so she quickly diverts his attention. Thorne doesn't need more than a kiss to fully on his wife, the latest feeling quite proud of the effect she still has on him.

As Jasper sits at the bar, Rhys calls him over, not to talk about work but their children. As Andy is spending more and more time with Daph, it seems like he can't stop speaking about her at home. Jasper sighs, hoping that this time things will stay private between the two teens…

After all these family drama, being back on the red carpet feels overwhelming. But as Jasp grabs her by the waist, his hand brushing gently the fabric of her dress trying to reassures her and squeezing her tighter against him, Isa can't help but welcome the the restored normality of this moment.

Finding back her old habits, chatting with their friends while seeing others get up to go on stage to accept their award, it left a huge weight off her shoulders. But as the night comes to an end, she grew more and more upset : unfortunately that night wasn't a night she was going to win an award.

In the living room, Elliot and Simon waited quietly for their father. He had invited them to a discussion that couldn't wait, and Elliot wondered what had happened for him to be awoken by their father like that.

When Jasper joined them, more awkward than ever at the idea of discussing little birds and bees with his sons, Elliot ended up more focused on the fact that Simon had indeed done something than on what his father was saying. Jasper didn't dare say too much at the moment, knowing that his two sons were a little too young and, unfortunately, 𝙩𝙤𝙤 𝙞𝙢𝙢𝙖𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚, and left his two sons more puzzled than anything else, exchanging confused glances with each other. Simon ended up mocking his father more than anything else, but Jasper was relieved that the message had got through and that his sons were bonding, even at his expense.

Later that day, as Isa and Jasper were supposed to get ready for the Starlight Accolades, he decided that a little delay won't kill them? It was time to make up for lost time. He carried her in his arms and she accepted him right away as she too needed to be reunited with him in this way.

Back on her level, Isa instinctively found herself in his arms. Despite their problems, she had missed Jasper and finding his lips made her feel whole again.Isa would have love to say she wanted to resist him, to still make him work a little harder but it would have been a lie. She followed him straight to their spa, without thinking twice about it more than happy to finally share an intimate moment with him again.

But Simon had discreetly followed them and slipped into the room with them. Isa did her best to hide her nakedness in the water, while Jasper tried to divert attention from their youngest son. Jasp sighed, luck was definitely not on his side and he was due for a chat with his sons on 𝙩𝙝𝙚 subject…

The next morning, Daph was the first to get up, and she was surprised to discover all the flowers her parents had left in the hallway. Really, she understood them less and less and hoped that her mother had forgiven her father, otherwise at this point they were ready to open a flower shop…

Suddenly it's as if something has finally opened up inside him, allowing him to get out everything that's been on his mind for the last few weeks. Of course he was aware of the damage he had done to his family, how could he not? But he was well aware that his mistakes would not be so easily undone.

Seeing him like that, on his knees in front of her, apologising and finally acknowledging his actions, Isabelle couldn't help but stretch out her hand to comfort him. But even though it felt good to hear him say these words, the wound was much deeper and she still needed time. But Isa knows that their marriage has always had its ups and downs, and although the downs have seemed a little too frequent of late, she still believes in their relationship. The only thing is, she hoped their respective efforts would be enough…

At home, Jasper can't help but feel… invaded. He should have suspected something when the florist asked him if he was sure about the number of bouquets, and he didn't dare say he'd made a mistake when he watched them drop bouquet after bouquet, his eyes round with astonishment…

Luck is clearly not on Jasper's side, as he hears the keys turning in the front door lock. Isa is stunned at first, but very soon she couldn't help but be softened, but indulged in one or two sharp comments. But Jasper's last remark makes her frown. Was he thinking that perhaps she liked their current situation? Jasper's reply catch her off guard, however seeing him suddenly kneel before her like that.
