Gymnastics Academy: A Second Chance! (2022–…): Season 1, Episode 7 - Relationships are Tough - full transcript
Hey, Roundeez fam!
I'm still a bit stressed about Dad,
but I'm staying put for now.
I've actually made
some amazing friends here,
even though it seems like
there is more of a divide than ever.
But I'm sure that Maddy will have
a few tricks up her sleeve to help us out.
We need her leadership now more than ever.
Hey, Mom, please make sure
you keep me updated with Dad.
Yeah?
I've realized that family
and relationships are
the most important things in life ever.
Um, I'll update you guys later,
but I've got to go.
I love you all. Bye.
Maddy.
You said that we would be a priority,
but every time I try and spend time
with you, it just doesn't happen.
Come on. That's not fair.
We do heaps together.
I don't mean me waiting
while you finish training
or... or trying to catch a quick break
in between your coaching sessions.
I mean, like, quality time, Maddy.
Like that dinner that you organized
that you didn't...
you didn't even show up to it, Maddy.
- Kyra hurt her knee. I had to help her.
- You put the girls before us.
What about the walks
we used to have along the beach?
You loved those.
Kyra needed extra training after sessions.
See?
They're your priority now.
Maybe this relationship just doesn't mean
that much to you anymore.
Maybe you should try and respect
what I'm trying to achieve here.
Or maybe we should just take a break.
What?
Maybe we should if you can't support me.
"Support you"? What... what do you think
I've been doing this whole time?
You know what? Yeah.
Let's take a break.
What's going on?
Nothing.
I've seen that look before.
No, not the Charger.
I've just drained the oil.
Take the GTO, I finished that.
I'll call Mary,
tell her you're on your way.
Call Jaimi.
Hi, Maddy.
Hey, Jamie.
I need to take a couple of days off.
I'm heading up to the Flinders.
Could you look after the team
while I'm away?
Um...
Yeah, sure.
I... I've not had any...
Actually, it's fine. If it helps...
Sure.
Are you okay?
I just need a day or two.
Thanks for covering for me.
I really need this.
Take care of yourself, Maddy.
We'll see you in a couple of days.
Okay.
Two warring groups of teen girls.
How hard can it be?
Where's Maddy?
She's off for a couple of days.
Okay, girls, uh,
everyone over here, please.
We're gonna work on our beam routines
and do strength training with Vicky.
But, girls, you can't.
Jaimi's asked us to stay on the floor.
Who put you in charge?
Li, you're on the training beam.
Uh, you're not gonna let her
get away with that, are you?
Girls, I would really like it
if you could stay on the floor, please.
It's our beam that
needs perfecting, not floor.
I'm sure Maddy would agree.
Tess, it's fine.
Um, okay, uh, you guys go
to the beam with Vicky,
and the rest of us will stay here
on the floor.
Yeah. Great. This is great.
This is going good. Mm-hmm.
Maddy, it's so great to see you.
Good to see you too.
Your dad called. Is everything all right?
Come on. Come inside.
We'll make a cup of tea.
Care to give anyone else a go?
Sure, when I'm finished.
Which will be...?
Two hours, give or take.
Ugh, seriously?
Tess, you can join me
on my beam if you want.
I think I'll pass on joining
the traitors today, thank you.
- Ugh! Tess, seriously, let it go.
- What's going on?
No, not until she admits
that she was wrong.
I thought you weren't picking a side.
I wasn't, and I'm still not!
But you did, and you chose poorly.
Tess, seriously. Okay, you know what?
Li, you keep training
on the beam with Liz.
We might come and join you later.
Tess, you're better than this.
Stop getting worked up over something
that happened last week.
And Maya, I'm coming on
that beam in one m...
Gonna have to be quicker than that, Kyra.
They're fighting again. You should really
do something about Tess's temper.
Do you regret giving up?
Yes and no?
I regret
not striving for my best
to see what I could have achieved.
Times were tough.
Judges were biased.
And the looks from the other kids
and their parents...
That's horrible.
I'm so sorry.
Don't be. I'm a well-respected
senior judge these days.
Who would have thought that could happen?
Aw.
Look at us.
When you won Worlds,
me and Alkira were so proud of you.
Thanks.
It's not the Olympics, though.
I don't know, Mary.
This will be my last crack
at the Olympics,
and it's like the one thing
that has just eluded me.
But I also care about Jason.
I don't wanna lose him.
Chase your dreams while you can.
But only you know
what's right for your future.
After giving up gym,
I fell pregnant with Alkira
and it was the best thing to happen to me.
But life does go on after gymnastics.
I'm barely finding any time
for my own training,
so chances of the Olympics
already feel slim.
Should I just call it a day?
What if I lose Jason
and I don't even get to the Olympics?
Maddy, look, I understand.
But you just have to find the path
that's right for you.
Okay?
Beccy!
Hello.
I never expected to see you.
What brings you here?
Actually, you do.
I've carried on our tradition
of bringing our girls team up to Flinders
to train with the country girls
twice a year.
- Aw!
- It's great for all of us.
Yeah, that's awesome.
That was bad.
All that bonding work
we did, out the window.
If it makes you feel any better,
I think it was already out the window.
The girls seem to have been at war
for a while now.
I should have taken a course
on the psychology of teenage girls
before becoming a gym coach
for teenage girls.
Yeah.
Um, so, when's Maddy coming back?
Uh, not for a few days.
Oh. That's unfortunate.
Oh. No offense, of course.
I mean, I don't wanna tell you two
how to do your jobs,
but when there is a division like that,
it's actually pretty easy
to turn it around
by having a bit of friendly competition.
And, I mean, it would work
to your advantage as well
because all the girls are trying
their hardest to beat the other group.
But, I mean, it was just a suggestion.
Thought that I could maybe
help you guys out for once.
Catch you tomorrow.
We've just been schooled by a 14-year-old.
Yup.
I think she's onto something, though.
And...
I think I have an idea for tomorrow.
Jaimi isn't answering.
I hope everything's all good.
Hey, I'm gonna go for a quick drive,
check out the sunset.
Beccy, do you wanna come?
You can catch me up on everything.
Sure. I'll be right behind you.
Did I hear Jason
and Maddy were having issues?
They are so meant for each other.
I really hope they work it out.
They really are a great couple,
but relationships are hard,
especially when someone's got to take
a temporary back seat
to the other's priorities.
But that's life.
Ah!
Who says I don't still have it?
New shoes?
Oh, no, far more important.
It's a present for Jason.
Okay. Way too cryptic for me.
What's the story?
Well,
Jason and Maddy are having some
relationship issues.
Okay. So that means...?
That I'm still the queen of matchmaking.
Okay.
The view is always
so gorgeous here.
Yeah, it's really beautiful.
This is where the girls used to do
their handstand competition.
- Oh.
- Do you think you still have one in you?
Mine's not as straight as yours,
but I bet I could still outlast you.
Aw! You're on!
Hit the floor, girls.
Kyra is gonna lead the groups.
- Me?
- Yes, you.
Me.
Let's get 'em started, please.
Okay, let's do this, girls.
We'll have two groups
and do some crossover runs.
Your idea for Kyra to lead?
Yup. The girls seem to respect her
a lot, and I thought,
if we're gonna listen to her,
surely they will too.
When you're done there, girls,
we're gonna have a friendly competition
to sharpen our competitive edge.
Eh, not so scary after all.
Let's see who's gonna be
our new handstand champ today.
That's it, that's it.
Hold it, hold it.
Breathe, breathe.
- Hello. How are you?
- Hey.
- I'm all right. How are you?
- Good.
Thanks for meeting me for coffee.
It's okay.
Thank you.
So, what's up?
You said you wanted to talk.
Yeah. Look...
It's none of my business,
but I just got back from the Flinders
and I caught up with Maddy at Mary's.
Jason, Maddy is seriously
so in love with you.
So much so that she's...
She's actually thinking about
giving up on the Olympics.
What?
I know it's really tough right now,
but your support means everything to her.
Beccy, I don't want her
to give up on her dream,
but...
I feel like I don't exist
in her life right now.
Trust me, you mean everything to her.
You know, you guys have had your ups
and downs over the years,
but it breaks my heart
to see you two separated.
Great job, girls. Three more,
and then 20 half-leg lifts.
- Ugh, no. Not 20 more.
- You're kidding.
I'm dying already.
Same. Come on,
we've gotta beat the others.
You're kidding me.
Twenty more seconds,
it'll be a minute, girls.
Heels up.
Alkira, breathe.
You're almost there.
Hey, Pat.
She's not come back yet, Jas.
Yeah, I know. Um...
I was hoping
that I could talk to you, actually.
Good timing.
Just been looking after the old girl,
so a break sounds good.
- Cool.
- Come.
Have a seat.
So what's on your mind?
I think I overreacted with Maddy.
We had a... a stupid argument,
and it got out of hand,
and then, in the heat of the moment,
I said that we should take a break.
Maddy didn't say, but I guessed that.
She'll talk to me when she's ready.
I really love her, Pat.
But Beccy's saying that she might
give up on her Olympic dream.
I didn't want that.
I messed up.
Jas, Maddy loves you to bits.
I often wish I'd had more time
with Maddy's mother.
Losing her
broke my heart.
So all I'll say to you is,
hold on to what matters most to you.
And you know what?
Don't waste a moment in life.
Actually, I've just remembered,
Tess dropped off
something for you yesterday.
Let me go get it.
Don't look at me, mate. No idea.
Movie or dinner?
Movie and dinner?
It's empty.
I think that's the point.
Ah, Tess.
And 48, 49, and 50.
Oh, thank God.
Thinking of getting a tattoo?
No.
Don't do that. It hurts to laugh or even...
...speak.
Yeah.
I've been thinking, and I really believe
that we should forgive Li.
I've spoken to her.
She wasn't siding against you all.
Maybe Scarlett,
but definitely not you, Tess.
Can we please just be friends again?
Come on, Tess.
I've forgiven her.
Do you really want
to drag this whole thing out?
Ugh, okay.
Look, I'll stop giving her
a hard time for now.
But she was our rival
before Coreega, remember?
Okay, I'll discuss forgiveness
after we've made it through
the final comp. Okay?
Maximum effort.
One, two, three.
Maximum effort.
I'll be back.
Can't miss the sunset while I'm here.
Jason! How did you know where I was?
Mary. She texted me that you were here.
I'm so happy to see you.
- I've been thinking and I...
- Hold on before you say anything else.
I was stupid,
and I completely overreacted.
Maddy,
I can't bear to be without you,
and regardless of whether
you wanna coach or train
or go to the Olympics,
I wanna be there with you.
I love you.
My mom's engagement ring.
Maddy Cornell.
Will you marry me?
I'm still a bit stressed about Dad,
but I'm staying put for now.
I've actually made
some amazing friends here,
