After watching Kriya's performance, Rey becomes very emotional. He goes to the fire escape where he used to meet with Kriya and thinks about the past. He becomes sad when he thinks about how she hurt him and used him. He thinks about the letter that she wrote and comes to the conclusion that he has never meant anything to her. He thinks that Kriya is back in St Louis only to further her name and the name of her dance institute. Meanwhile, Kriya makes her way to talk to Rey. She hopes that she can sort things out with him. She finds him in the fire escape but Rey ignores her and rudely asks her to leave him alone. Kriya is disheartened to see his reaction.

Daily Update: D3, February 13th, 2013

Let me start out this post by going into Flashback Mode. So last year, this time the Dazzlers and the Weaklings were getting ready to perform in the Footloose Eliminations. And guess who was the emcee for the occasion - our very own AVP! No wonder she seemed familiar...

Last year, Rey was going through a rough patch. While this year, Swayam is going through a really tough time. Last year, Kriya had to choose her friendship over her love and this year Sharon seems to be choosing her disease over her love. Both girls, Kriya and Sharon, were in a position where no matter which option they chose either they got hurt or people close to them got hurt. For both girls, their fight, if you will, involved dance. For Kriya - the fight to dance and for Sharon - the fight to stay away from dance. I personally like going into to Flashback Mode to see how much the characters have matured over the course of a year. So much has changed ever since Kriya left St. Louis and gave up her passion - dance. She not only hurt herself, but also ended up hurting the one person who was most special to her - Rey. It took Rey almost a Rey to heal and find love again with Taani. I just hope that it doesn't take a year for Sharon to realize that she will not be a hinderance for Swayam. 

Now that things are in perspective, let's talk about today's episode. 

The gang tries to make themselves comfortable in the storage room. The girls grumble because there is no room and the boys grumble because there's nothing they can do to fix the problem. In middle of all the arguing, Taani comes in asking for Swayam. When Rey asks her why she's looking for him, she tells everyone that she found blood on his t-shirt. Sharon instantly realizes that the blood is because of her holding on to Swayam on the beach when Rey was trying to pull her into the water. She feels bad about hurting Swayam and leaves the room to check up on him. 

Sharon finally finds Swayam in the prop room. She sees him putting some sort of medicine on his injury. Just when she turns to leave, Swayam heard her and asks her if she needs anything. Sharon apologizes for hurting him. Once again Swayam asks her why she is trying so hard to push him away. She tells him that he is crossing his limits. What Swayam says next totally broke my heart! The poor guy is so in love with Sharon that he just can't live without her. His devotion for her is almost sickening! He picks up on the littlest things and yet Sharon can't trust him enough to tell him about her problem. 

When Swayam asks her why she isn't dancing, she tells him that it is not his problem. He asks her if it because of him. She finally tells him that if she dances in the group performance it will prove to him that he does not mean anything to her. Now wait a second - when SwaRon became a couple, they promised each other that they would never let go of dance. So when Sharon initially broke up with Swayam she told him that along with him, she would also let go of dance. So imagine my confusion when she tells Swayam that she will dance to prove that he does not mean anything to her. Isn't she technically telling him that he does mean something to her?

Anyway, Sharon runs out the room after their 'talk' and gets an asthmatic attack. Simmi brings her the inhaler. She tells Sharon that she found out that if Sharon used the inhaler 4 hours before performing, she could possibly get through the routine without any problems. Sharon decides to take the risk. She practices for the group routine with the rest of the gang. Towards the end of the practice, she gets another attack. I'm starting to wonder will Sharon be able to perform? We all know that she does perform. I wonder if she get a huge attack after the performance. Will everyone find out about Sharon's medical problem? How will they react?

Here is a snapshot of today's episode...

Even with all the sadness and drama, I am glad we have this to look forward to. The D3 boys showed the world what they can do. Now it's time for the D3 girls are going to set the stage on fire! And from the looks of it, it's going to be a super amazingly spectacular performance!



In other news, I managed to find this little Behind-The-Scenes video of the basketball match filming in D3. Yes, I know it's old but it's fun nonetheless! Watch the boys show off their newly tanned selves!
