A wildfire endangers the town, so Bash takes over the dance studio and forces Michelle to help turn it into a shelter since Fanny, the designated co-captain, is still out of the country. Talia, in town for her wedding, must cope with changes to her wedding plan and Michelle's real feelings about Rick. Meanwhile, the girls deal with romantic complications as Dez dogs Melanie wherever she goes, Roman and Sasha become more intimate, Boo is involved in a relationship triangle of which she wants no part, and Ginny can't stop staring at Frankie.

Michelle gets right back into the fix it game shortly after returning to town when she learns Truly's been evicted from her shop. Meanwhile, two new talented students fascinate the girls, and Talia sets up Michelle on a blind date.

Several months after the disastrous Nutcracker performance, the studio is closed and everyone has scattered to the winds. That is, no one is dancing except Michelle in a dreary magician's show on the outskirts of Las Vegas while she camps out on Talia's couch. The girls, meanwhile, deal with the chaos of their lives, and Sasha's return from Joffrey only creates more when she refuses to go back home.

Salome and the Chancellors celebrate the start of the vampire holy war. Sookie gets a hint about her parents' murder but anti-supernatural enthusiasts put her in danger. Eric plans his escape. Andy and Jason are out looking for leads behind the shifter killings. Alcide remembers how he was initiated into his pack. Arlene is trapped between Terry and Patrick's clash. Steve gets a new pet.

As Sookie embraces her human side, she considers a life without her faerie powers. Salome shows just where her true allegiance rests. Sam uses his sense of smell to locate the shooters. Alcide gets ready for a fight. Lafayette searches for Jesus' body. Hoyt finds himself a new group of friends.

The Joffrey Summer Program threatens to pull their auditions from Fanny's studio unless she makes a costly repair. Boo's mom tries to prepare Boo for her annual audition failure, but Boo doesn't want to hear about it. Elsewhere, Michelle questions her commitment to the guest house after a closer look in daylight. Her worries seem justified when her belongings arrive from Las Vegas with an unwelcome furniture bonus.

Fanny's reaction to Hubbel's will is typically dramatic, and Michelle escapes the atmosphere by driving her inherited car along the coast. Unfortunately, she encounters small-town atmosphere when the car breaks down and she's stranded on a private road from which no one will rescue her. Back in Paradise, the Girls participate in an ugliest feet contest with other dance studios.
