Four dancers, including the etoile Cheyenne, go to NYC.
Meanwhile, the choreographer Tobias Bell and the star dancer Mishi head to Paris.
However, not everything goes as expected for theEtoile ensemble castwhen the trade happens.
Cheyenne brings back the former ballet dancer Gael, who is known for being unreliable, as her dancer.
The French ballet dancers struggle to adapt to the approach of the choreographer Tobias.
The benefactor, Crispin Shamblee, who is funding the trade, becomes controlling and overly involved.

As such, he pushed off his responsibility as the company’s leader.
Crispin takes advantage of this weakness to push his candidate for the job Cheyenne.
Although he resists the idea, Jack realizes that Cheyenne would be great at the job.
Shes intelligent, passionate about dance, and opinionated.
Without running the idea by Genevieve,Jack offers the Artistic Director job to Cheyenne.
In a move that surprises everyone, Cheyenne accepts the job.
Unfortunately, the ballerina is left in emotional shambles whenNicholas wakes up from the coma.
He spirals, doesnt change his clothing, and listens to one of the reviews over and over.
His disappointment stunts his inspiration and drive.
This wedge gets better after Gabin gets arrested.
Its not clear how he will recover from the failure.
Ultimately, Tobias succeeds after his failed show by being exactly the person that he is.
He frequently needs to sit in one specific position with his noise-canceling headphones on to think clearly.
Tobias can seem challenging to work with and hard for many to understand.
These are the best, though.
Also, their relationship makes me question whether Jack asked to trade for Cheyenne because of lingering feelings.
This could explain his reaction to learning about Cheyenne and Gael.
She found an identity and friend group outside of her family name.
However, the agreement at the start of Etoile forces her back into her parents world against her will.
Both these things are rocky but important experiences for her.
Although she faces negative pressure from her colleagues and parents, Mishi finds a way to love dancing again.
Previously,he had an affair with Jacks sister, Quinn, ending with Gael breaking her heart.
Gaels return seemed only to be as long as he danced with Cheyenne.
Plus, Gael wants to pursue a relationship with Quinn now that shes back in New York City.
Although Jack and Genevieve broke up, they clearly still have feelings for one another.
The same can be said for Gael and Cheyenne.
Additionally, questions arise about who will take on the Artistic Director job after Nicholas return.
He seemed open to the idea of stepping down early in Etoile season 1.
Luckily, viewers will have the chance to see these storylines continue and hopefully get some resolution.
Cheyennes life is a wreck, while Tobias has one of his biggest career successes.
Mishi finds joy, while Jack upends Genevieves plans.
Despite their differences, all of the arcs have one thing in common, though.
They face challenges they didnt prepare for, forcing them to adapt.
