Spencer gathers Katelin's figure skating equipment and arranges transport to the Senior Nationals. His plan highlights his support for her aspirations. However, the suitcase falls open in front of the hockey team, exposing her as a 'twirl girl' and revealing a missing skate.

Ahead of her skating routine at the Senior Nationals, Katelin discovers a skate is missing as her suitcase has spilled the contents earlier. She takes the field wearing hockey skates Natasha provided, hoping to adapt. As the routine starts, she falls but the crowd remains supportive.
