It is the first day at Keaton for a group of ninth graders, including dance students and best friends Carly and Vanessa, and music students Jax, Miles and Alya. They get a welcome plus a first lesson on the difficulties they will experience at the prestigious arts school. Carly and Vanessa meet a tenth grader, Sasha, a dance student who has taken their teacher Helsweel's class before and helps the two freshmen get through their first day with Helsweel. After the dance auditions, Helsweel selects Vanessa to train with the Primas, an elite group of fourth-year dance students. Meanwhile, Alya's late arrival to class prompts music teacher Park to choose her to showcase her singing, but she freezes and it leads a fellow student, Bianca, to quickly pass judgment on her. Bianca's negative comments eventually become enough for Alya to contemplate quitting after the first day, but Miles persuades her not to after he had heard her sing. Alya regains her confidence and gets another chance to perform her song in class. Also, Jax struggles with his music assignment as he is not used to the equipment he and his partner Kit are using.

Helsweel assigns the dance students their partners; among them, Carly is paired with Sasha while Vanessa is paired with Jenna. Carly's jealousy over Vanessa's joining the Primas spills over after she sees Vanessa showing Jenna a familiar dance move. Scarlett mentors some freshmen in the music program, and has Bianca and Alya roleplay in an audition, where Bianca continues to intimidate Alya. Scarlett helps Alya see that no one is perfect, even Bianca, and gives Alya some tips on how to overcome Bianca's teasing. Meanwhile, Jax is upset over Park's special treatment of Miles, but when Miles leaves behind his phone, Jax snoops and finds something suspicious on it, promptly reporting it to Park.

It is orientation day for the freshmen. As organizer, Julie hopes it will go well, but Scarlett believes it to be a waste of time, especially with the uninspiring ideas Julie has to involve the freshmen. Jax continues to wonder why Miles is being treated as a teacher's pet; after the two pair up for a class assignment, Miles attempts to show Jax that he does not want the special treatment. They skip the orientation and get caught by Park, who gives them both detention. Meanwhile, at the orientation, only five people show up initially, including Carly and Vanessa, who are still fighting. While Julie rounds up more freshmen, the two girls get heated again which causes Julie to change her approach for the orientation, turning it into a fun dance-off. It allows Carly and Vanessa to realize the pettiness of their arguing, and they let it go. As for the two serving detention for not going to orientation, Jax stumbles across a prescription medication Miles is taking, and while Miles gets it back from him without saying anything, Jax is able to put things together—Miles is sick.
