"Piano Man" is the 26th episode in Season 6 of The Next Step and the 180th episode overall. It is the finale of Season 6.
Synopsis
With a showdown looming, several dancers question their future.[1]
Plot
Noah stands on the stage alone, as it is the last day of Regionals and he wants to remember the moment. As he reflects, Jacquie appears from the audience. Jacquie confesses that she knows what's coming. Noah tells her that her will be leaving The Next Step after Regionals, but assures her that they will still be together. Jacquie tells him that they can no longer be together if he leaves, as she will be holding him back. They break up and perform a duet to "Mountains" in the audience. They conclude sitting next to each other in seats, and Noah confesses that it is not goodbye yet.
AcroNation and The Next Step stand on the stage awaiting information about what they will do after Encore's disqualification and the studios' tie. Emily, Michelle, Thalia and Eldon appear after talking to the judges. They are told that a tie is broken by a ten-person dance and they have 2 hours to choreograph, which scares them as it is such a short amount of time.
Trivia
- This episode became available on BBC iPlayer on November 19, 2018, three weeks prior to its scheduled release on CBBC.
- The Next Step Dance Studio beat AcroNation in the tie-breaker and has won Regionals, qualifying for Nationals.
- Noah and Jacquie are no longer a couple due to his leaving A-Troupe.
- Michelle is likely leaving The Next Step.
Continuity
- The team sings "Wish You Well" to Noah before their finals dance, similar to how Noah sang the same song to Season 1's A-Troupe.
- Simone hurts her wrist, so Summer dances for both teams in the tie-breaker, reminiscent of when West danced for Seeds in "I'm So Excited" and when Amanda stepped in for Emily at Nationals.
Errors
- Noah confesses that it has been five years since he sang "Wish You Well" to A-Troupe, but it has only been two.
Cultural References
- The title refers to a song by Billy Joel with the same name.
