A Second Chance: Rivals!

Maddy!

Surprised Dad didn't call you

as soon as he noticed his precious Charger was missing.

It's lovely to see you.

- Come on. - Oh, my gosh.

What happened?

Dad's just hassling me about what to do now.

Just the usual.

I just really needed a break.

Well, why don't you stay here for a while,

and we'll have some chats and we'll work it out?

Did you bring any clothes with you?

A couple.

I was sort of hoping you'd say stay.

Well, go get your clothes.

The spare room is already made up for you.

And, Maddy, call your dad.

He is worried about you.

Just a few things, hey?

Are you expecting someone else?

Tess is coming to stay next week for three months

while Kate and Shane are heading off.

I know that was the dream.

I just worked so hard for it.

Come on, get your stuff put away.

I mean, I know you're on a, what shall I say, a sabbatical,

but I've... we've got gymnasts to train.

Hey, Charger.

What was that about?

It's a '70s thing. You had to be there.

So, they finished the new sports center?

Yup, years of lobbying councils and MPs has all paid off.

- Hey, Tess. - Alkira, hey.

- Handstand challenge? - Er, now?

Okay, coming, okay. I'll be there in a sec.

Tess, where are you going?

You still have homework to do, I told you not to go out!

Hey, I'm practicing this time, and I'm gonna smash.

Shane...

- Hmm? - And what's that?

A chill pill.

Funny.

I am so going to beat you this time.

I've been practicing, and I'm actually getting really good.

I can last for, like, ages.

Dream on. I always beat you.

I'm so fat.

- Thanks. How are you? - I'm good.

Maddy!

Okay, girls, Maddy is going to be here for a few weeks,

so you can chat to her and do your selfies later.

Let's get started on the floor for some warm-up. Thank you.

You girls better go warm up.

- Yeah. - I'll come see you after, yeah?

Er, Maddy.

Er, can you supervise and coach the elite competition girls?

I'm not really a coach, I don't...

Oh, please.

Okay, sure.

Show me what you got, girls. Let's go. Bars.

- Bars, bars, bars. - Okay!

More in. Alright?

Straighten the arms...

Girls, that was so good. I'm really impressed.

- What apparatus now? - Beam next.

Actually, we might go to floor first.

Good. Alright, that's it.

And really you have to stretch your leg up.

Good. Great, excellent.

Beautiful! Yeah, that's really great.

Okay, girls, break time.

Grab your snacks and take a rest.

- Where's yours? - Not hungry.

You're crazy. I'm starving.

Want some of mine?

Go on.

Right-o, girls, break time's over.

Let's get back on the floor.

Handstand competition time.

Now you know the rules.

Handstand walk is okay, but Alkira and Tayla

need to be stationary.

Alkira is our current champion, and she has the call.

Can Maddy do it, too?

Your ankle is still recovering, but your back is okay, isn't it?

Oh, a handstand won't hurt.

You can do it!

- Yes, do it! - Can I walk in handstand?

No way!

Alright.

Okay, everyone, ready?

One, two, three.

Yeah, Alkira, come on, you've got it!

Come on, come on!

Very good, Maddy.

Very good. And great, girls.

You girls are fantastic.

You really are the best, Maddy.

Great coaching, too.

Aw, thanks, girls.

She's so good!

Typical.

Alkira is so impressive. Like, she just about had me...

Yeah.

- Oh, she's so determined. - Yeah.

But she needs a lot of strength and conditioning.

Reminds me a lot of you when you were that age.

Say, since you're staying for a while,

why don't you coach them for the next competition?

They'd love it.

Give you something to do, take your mind off.

- Hello! - Hi!

Hello!

Hi.

Come on.

I think that's an awesome idea, Beverly.

What? What'd I miss?

Please, please, please, Maddy, coach us for the next comp.

Please!

Okay. Alright.

I mean, you guys are away, I'm here anyway. I'll be...

Alkira. Hey.

Oh, yeah, just arrived.

Tess, manners.

Now?

Er, yeah. Should be good.

I've got super-exciting news, too.

Erm, Maddy, Alkira wants to show you a special spot.

I can show you the way.

Tess, how about you ask us for permission first?

Mother, really?

Go.

- Let's go. - Where are we going?

It's a special spot, just first, let's take a selfie.

Thanks. Okay, can we just do, like, another one?

So, like, just turn around

and then put your arms up and do sort of like a pose.

Yeah. Cool.

Sweet. Thanks.

Kylie, of course.

Tess is so difficult.

All she does is her gymnastics and watch old movies.

Seems to hate me with a passion.

Me, her mother.

The only way I can communicate with her these days

is to text her.

I seem to remember around the same age,

you were fighting with your mother.

Really? Was I?

Don't worry, it's just a girl thing around 11 and 12.

It'll pass.

She's totally fine with me.

That's because I'm left to do all the disciplining.

No wonder she is fine with you.

Handstand challenge? You ready? Maddy?

No, thank you.

Alkira almost got me the other day,

so I'm gonna quit while I can.

Thank you, girls.

Keep it going, girls.

Still up!

Hey, she's cheating.

That's unfair. You cheated!

- Good. - You were amazing, girl.

Competition tomorrow, girls.

Who's excited? Me.

My first comp as a coach, this'll be interesting.

Don't worry, we'll look after you, newbie.

What is the competition like?

Tough.

- We can do this. - We've got...

- We've got a new coach. - We gonna smash.

Maddy?

Becky? Oh, my God!

I haven't seen you since you and Chelsea left for World Juniors.

- What are you doing here? - Coaching.

Would you believe? Girls elite stream at North Flinders.

Well, we'll be up against each other then.

I'm coaching the Aerial girls.

My city girls always smash country girls.

Well, good luck with that.

You know what they say, those who can, do,

and those who can't, teach.

Did Becky just try to insult Maddy, but insulted herself

at the same time?

Don't worry.

And pity about missing out on the Olympics.

You must be devo.

Come on, girls.

Some things never change.

Gymnasts, please line up for the presentation.

Oh, my God!

Yes!

- They're so full of themselves. - Yeah.

Come on, girls, they're not worth it.

Come on, girls, cut it.

Congrats on the win,

I can definitely see what you were saying about

city beating country.

Thanks. My city girls are just better.
