Cassie Scerbo | Make It or Break It | Season 3

 

"Smells Like Winner"

Payson, Kaylie, and Lauren arrive at the US training centre in Colorado Springs to spend eight weeks training with other Olympic hopefuls. The girls say goodbye to Sasha and their parents and meet Coach McIntire, their new trainer, for the first time.

"It Takes Two"

Coach McIntire partners the girls up to train and live together in pairs. Payson is dismayed to be teamed with Lauren, while Wendy is paired with Jordan and Kelly Parker with Kaylie. Their first assignment is to choreograph a routine for each other, but Kelly and Kaylie struggle to establish trust between them, while Lauren is upset by Payson's lack of motivation.

"Time is of the Essence"

A journalist upsets Payson by questioning her about the Sasha kissing scandal. Meanwhile, Coach McIntire and the gymnasts who feel uninspired by his tactics and are doubtful about his ability to coach a female team. Sensing their discontent, McIntire invites the team to his home to have a heart-to-heart and realises that he needs to take a different approach with their training.

"Growing Pains"

Coach McIntire expects the girls' routines to be perfect when they give an exhibition for a visit by their parents. Sheila makes an attempt to buy her daughter's place as team leader for the London games, and Kaylie invites Austin to dinner. Meanwhile, Payson is upset when her father announces that the family is moving.

"Dream On"

Payson suffers the consequences when she breaks Coach McIntire's strict curfew to sneak out and see Rigo. As the first day of qualification rounds begin, Sheila attempts to undermine Jordan's confidence. Meanwhile, Kelly Parker is annoyed to discover that her mother is now working as Wendy's manager. Payson tells out the truth about Lauren, with terrible consequences for their friendship.

"Listen to the Universe"

Payson talks Kaylie into resolving her disagreement with Jordan, while Coach McIntire questions Jordan about her lack of team spirit. Elsewhere, Lauren is informed that she needs open heart surgery, followed by several months of rest before she can return to training. So, Payson enlists Rigo to take her on a trip by motorcycle to find a doctor who has pioneered a new, non-invasive procedure that could help Lauren.

"Truth Be Told"

Lauren undergoes an experimental, non-invasive heart procedure, but her need for recovery time means that she is still unable to train. When Jake helps her to rehearse her routines mentally, he and Lauren form a close bond. Meanwhile, Jordan becomes anxious and loses her focus when Coach Ray arrives at the training centre to choreograph the floor routines.

"United Stakes"

Kaylie and Payson try to encourage Jordan to report the truth about Coach Ray. Meanwhile, Wendy's devious actions result in Kaylie being banned from trials after failing her drug-screening test. Elsewhere, nervous about making it through her routine without her irregular heartbeat causing problems, Lauren must weigh her recovery against her Olympic dreams.
