00:09I was stopped in London when I felt it coming down
00:14Crashing all around me with a great triumphant sound
00:30I was so embarrassed and I almost ran away
00:35Two times round the block before I decided to stay
00:42This time I thought I'd be
00:44It's a Cinderella return to the iceberg
00:47Adriana Russo with new partner Brayden Elliott
00:50Already being called the hottest couple on ice
00:53I give my heart a day
00:55Ice dance is so sweet
00:59Simple compared to what we do
01:01No jumps, please
01:03Yeah, but it's twice as hot
01:05It's not just on the ice
01:06Did you see what Adriana got up to after hours?
01:23She's going to worlds with this routine
01:26You don't agree?
01:28That article may count against them
01:30Frasier wrote a real hit piece
01:34Skating Federation doesn't like dirty laundry hung out over the ice
01:37And they may mark them down just because
01:40Because what?
01:41Because they can, Will
01:46You can really feel the connection between these two
01:56They've not made a single misstep in this routine
01:58They're sure to qualify for worlds
02:00It's weird watching her with Brayden
02:02I always thought she'd get back with Freddy
02:04And you know, they'd be like, together, together
02:07Well, I mean, but Brayden's a total catch
02:09Yeah, I'd catch him
02:11Shh
02:12Children
02:14Brayden has a rep for a reason
02:15I never put it down
02:17Deep where I found
02:18I was going everywhere
02:20This town I know I'm fine
02:24This town I know I'm back in my body
02:29Oh
02:31Back in my body
02:33Oh
02:34Oh
02:59Ready?
03:01Beyond
03:04That was incredible
03:07Skate this last night
03:11Go ahead
03:12Thank you
03:12Okay, Miss Bucket, showing us how it's done
03:16Thanks, Fras
03:18Flawless
03:18Flawless
03:19Really?
03:20Yeah
03:20Great skate, 80
03:22Amazing monster
03:25So good
03:27Thanks, Dad
03:28I had my doubts
03:29But I never bet against Camille
03:31That's good
03:32Monroe and O'Connell
03:33Prepare to take the ice
03:34Okay, guys
03:35This is your moment
03:36Thanks
03:44Stay on
03:48For Adriana Russo and Brayden Elliott
03:50A combined score of 89.27
03:56That's a solid score
04:03Brayden Elliott
04:04Brayden Elliott
04:04Brayden Elliott
04:04In second place
04:05Behind the Voltage skaters
04:07Wait
04:08They deserve a much higher score than that
04:10This is not good
04:11It's almost as if the judges
04:12Are sending them a message
04:14Wait your turn
04:16Or
04:16Don't gossip to magazines
04:18Now taking the ice
04:20Also from the original link
04:21Brayden Elliott
04:22Ready to file
04:31Hey
04:33Second place is enough to qualify
04:34Only if they have a bad skate
05:02I've waited a hundred years
05:18Look at that
05:19Yeah, I'm totally team Freddie
05:21No way
05:22Team Brayden all the way
05:24Yeah, but only one Russo pair
05:25Is going to qualify for Worlds
05:27Someone passed the awkward sauce
05:42Monroe and O'Connell recently switched coaches
05:44To join Camille Saint-Denis at Russo rink
05:46A move that's clearly paying off your qualifiers
05:49They may knock their teammates out of a qualifying position
05:56Woo
05:57Woo
05:58Woo
05:58Woo
06:22You don't need to be so enthusiastic.
06:24My teammates and my friends.
06:32Ms. Seesaw, crushing it.
06:35It's so good.
06:37Amazing.
06:38Beautiful humans.
06:41Thanks, Camilla.
06:42Beautiful.
06:49Are you okay?
06:50Yeah, feels good.
06:51For Riley Monroe and Freddie O'Connor, a combined score of 90.54.
06:58Yes, thank you.
07:00I'm so proud of you.
07:02That puts the pair in second place to qualify for Worlds, behind Sean and Destiny from Voltage.
07:08There's all kinds of bad.
07:09Beating out Adriana Russo and Braden Elliott, who will not advance to Worlds.
07:13Come on.
07:17Come on.
07:18Come on.
07:19Come on.
07:21Come on.
07:23Come on.
07:26Come on.
07:32Come on.
07:35Okay.
07:40That article killed our scores.
07:42I warned you about doing that interview.
07:44But you wouldn't listen to me.
07:45Leon, you're blaming me.
07:47God, why did your family just keep their mouth shut?
07:49Judges hate that stuff.
07:51Don't make this about my family.
07:52No, they're more like a cult of personality.
07:55Yeah, the legendary Will Russo.
07:56Yeah, he could do no wrong, am I right?
07:58You're the one with the reputation, bud.
08:00What?
08:00The bad boy of figure skating?
08:02Or are you just a bad loser?
08:03You were supposed to be good for my reputation.
08:06Not sink my entire season.
08:09Our season!
08:10Do you have any idea how hard I had to work to be here?
08:13I had other options.
08:14Maybe I still do.
08:16Voltage was offering me a pick of partners.
08:19Anything I ever wanted.
08:24Hey.
08:25Don't throw this away.
08:27Brayden, we are good together, remember?
08:30Yeah.
08:32Yeah, we were.
08:36Just not good enough.
08:38Brayden.
08:40Brayden.
08:46Brayden.
08:49What the hell is this?
08:51A distraction.
08:53To keep her mind off that article?
08:54I was very clear about my conditions.
08:56You don't follow my rules.
08:57You can't skate at my rink.
08:58Fine.
08:59We didn't qualify anyway.
09:00It's over.
09:02Just like your pathetic dynasty.
09:20Oh, sweetheart.
09:25I thought we had it.
09:26I know.
09:27I know.
09:28I know.
09:29Sometimes the judging just doesn't go our way.
09:32But we can rebuild.
09:33And next season you'll have a whole runway to train on.
09:37And with everything you...
09:37Brayden's gone.
09:39Brayden.
09:39Will, what did you do?
09:42Me?
09:43He had her out last night till God knows when making out at a club caught on camera.
09:47What did you know about that?
09:48It's all over the internet, Aidy.
09:50Brayden, hottest couple on ice.
09:52What did you say to him?
09:53I just reminded him of the rules.
09:55You want to train at Russo rink, you gotta follow my rules.
09:56You sabotaged me!
09:58What?
10:00You persuaded me to leave Freddie.
10:03And now you've chased off my only real chance at a medal.
10:06That's not fair.
10:07No, it's not.
10:08You never believed in me.
10:10Not like Elise.
10:11And now I've got no one to skate with.
10:14So, so now what?
10:16I go back to managing your rink?
10:20And you let it slide into bankruptcy?
10:25It's a good thing Mom's not here.
10:28She'd be ashamed of you.
10:40Never been a dreamer
10:44Until I met you
10:47Made me a believer
10:51Of all the things you do
11:01How am I the bad guy here?
11:03You're the father of teenage girls.
11:05I think that's basically the job description.
11:07I can't seem to get it right.
11:09But I'm getting it wrong every single day.
11:12Wow.
11:13If you're not failing, you're not trying.
11:16That's my line coach.
11:20The more I try to hang on to them, the more they pull away.
11:24Well, they're walking away from me with every step.
11:28And you know, that's as it should be.
11:31They have to become independent young women.
11:35Your girls are doing it in skates.
11:37So it's going to feel a whole lot faster.
11:40Right.
11:41They don't need you to be their coach, Will.
11:45They need you to be their dad.
11:47You think she's right?
11:50Would Sarah be ashamed?
11:53Ashamed?
11:57Before Sarah died.
11:59Right near the end.
12:02She asked me to stay in your lives.
12:05To look out after the girls and you.
12:09And I promised her I would.
12:11And while there have been days where keeping that promise has had its challenges.
12:18The one thing I have never questioned, Will, is how much you love your girls.
12:27And how proud Sarah would be of you.
12:36Because here's the thing, Will.
12:37I mean, you're not raising kids.
12:39You're raising adults.
12:41And you have to let them go through everything.
12:45In a safe, loving space that you provide.
12:50So they can come out on the other side as women worthy of Sarah Russo's lineage.
13:16You got my motor eye.
13:21Oh, you down on a motor ride
13:28Oh, you down on a motor ride
13:35Oh, you down on a motor ride
13:49Team Russo, next stop, Paris.
13:52Yep.
13:53Congratulations to Sean and Destiny.
13:55And to O'Connell and Monroe.
13:57Top form, really.
13:58Thanks.
13:59But I guess the hottest couple on ice
14:00couldn't quite bring enough heat.
14:03Excuse me.
14:06You don't have to gloat.
14:08Hey, I'm impressed.
14:10You landed a spot at Worlds
14:11and you took Adriana from zero to 60 in record time.
14:15It's my job.
14:16Just imagine what you could do with some real resources.
14:20I'll see you in Paris, Kevin.
14:25You got a pair of ice dancers going to Worlds,
14:28plus Katya, JJ, and Ben are looking strong,
14:31Maria and Charlie in the Junior Showcase.
14:33You should be proud.
14:36Pride doesn't pay bills.
14:37But sponsorship does.
14:38My sponsorship gala is next week.
14:40You just make sure your girls are there.
14:43Yeah?
14:46All right.
14:47Get through this, man.
14:49All right.
14:50Okay.
15:09Adriana?
15:10Adriana?
15:12Okay.
15:12I said I know I'm falling down, falling down, falling down, falling down, falling down.
15:27I just wanted to skate one last time.
15:42I can't believe it's over.
15:48I'm sorry.
16:02Hi.
16:06Hi.
16:09Camille wants to retime our routine.
16:18Give her a beat, would you?
16:39Leith?
16:41Wait.
16:46Look, I just came to watch qualifiers with Maria and she begged me to stay until you all got back.
16:50You're back, so I'm gone.
16:52I'd hoped that maybe you'd decided to come home to stay.
16:54For what?
16:56For this family.
16:57So are we a family or a team?
16:59Because these days I can't tell the difference.
17:03Leith, you've wanted to win gold since you were this high. And I've tried to give you every advantage. Don't
17:08you want to-
17:09I don't know what I want.
17:12I don't know what I want.
17:17You know, Charles would love to have you at the sponsorship gala.
17:21Why would I do that?
17:22Because you always liked those things?
17:24And since when do either of us say no to a party, huh?
17:29I'll see.
17:35Bye.
17:38I'm just glad one of us gets to go to Worlds.
17:42It was stupid of me to go back to competing. I was being-
17:45Stop. Just stop.
17:49You're Adriano Russo.
17:52You are determined. You're tenacious. You're a fighter. You don't give up.
17:58I gave up on you.
18:00No, that wasn't your fault. You were-
18:03Hey, there you are. Are you ready to go?
18:07Yeah.
18:09Hey, Ross.
18:10He'll be back.
18:11I bet.
18:13You're too good.
18:14And good for him.
