A sprained ankle at the start of term forces Drina to stop dancing for a month. However, this gives her the opportunity to play the role of Margaret in the play Dear Brutus for a short run in the West End.

Over summer, Drina and Rose are chosen to dance in The Nutcracker as 'Little Clara' with the Dominick Company at the Edinburgh Festival. Igor Dominick Snr. and Marianne Volanaise also finally discover Drina's secret, but they agree to keep the news private.
