Step Up: High Water Season 3 Episode 3 Review: Player’s Ball

Oh, sure! That was one insane episode.

Step Up: Excessive Water Season 3 Episode 3 delivered the whole lot. There was romance, intercourse, betrayal, alliances, and never forgetting Rigo’s one hell of a efficiency on the BMT awards.

The earlier two episodes have felt lazy; we have been rehashing the occasions of the previous two seasons. However this episode dials the drama as much as 100%.

The episode units a grand stage for Sage and Rigo’s endless rivalry. There is no such thing as a higher place for musical kings to face off than at a reside televised occasion. Too dangerous Sage is banned, and Rigo is just not invited.

Stakes are additionally raised when Rigo and Sage do some insane stuff, and Angel makes her play.

To not blow my very own horn, however hardly ever am I mistaken once I discuss characters. It occurs, however seldom. This was one occasion in that I wanted I used to be mistaken about Angel.

I’m satisfied past a shadow of a doubt that she was utilizing Odalie to get into Excessive Water. And get in, she did.

As I used to be reviewing Step Up: Excessive Water Season 3 Episode 2, I used to be fairly suspicious about her complete factor. She was embedding herself in Odalie’s life and appeared to be simply round when Odalie wanted something.

Her true intentions have been made clear. She doesn’t let up with Odalie’s harm. It was like she needed Odalie to give up.

Jeez, that appears horrible, Odalie. In case you preserve dancing on that, that will not heal.

Angel

It’d appear to be she is doing issues innocently, however the whole lot is calculated along with her. What are the percentages that simply when the choreography appears to be missing one thing, she is that one thing? I would not blame her ambition and innovation if she weren’t strolling everywhere in the solely one who has been form to her.

At Sage’s social gathering, she makes a degree of constructing positive her dancing with Odalie takes middle stage. Afterward, after Rigo’s efficiency, she kisses Odalie arduous simply earlier than the digital camera pans away from them.

All this may appear coincidental, however they’re some fairly big coincidences. If, nevertheless, one has expertise with conniving bitches, it is all on the market.

The ultimate nail within the coffin was when she and Marquise hit it off and afterward hook up. They met an entire second in the past, and immediately they have been having intercourse when she had the identical chemistry as Odalie, and so they by no means even kissed — besides when it was useful to her.

Rigo is sinking deeper and deeper into the pit of stupidity. Somebody wants to provide that boy some media coaching as a result of one in all today, he would possibly mess up past bouncing again.

He meets an influential particular person, and immediately, he’s all cocky.

Vida: Now, that was some actual tear-up-the-club shit.
Rigo: Good. So you are a fan?
Collette: Uh, he means, so that you’re conscious of his music.

His cockiness apart, he nonetheless hasn’t realized how a lot he is getting used. When Collette wants him to do one thing, she threatens him by pulling his title from the BMT efficiency. How dumb is he? She will be able to’t do it! They already rejected Sage.

When he needs Rigo to do one thing, Marquise performs the road code playing cards. This boy is just not a gangster; he solely acts prefer it.

I discovered myself having some newfound respect for Marquise after this episode. He’ll do something for his little brother; truthfully, it seems he needs what’s finest for Rigo.

When he realizes Sage is utilizing the efficiency to advertise himself, he cuts the track and ensures Rigo’s will get performed. He does not take middle stage, however he makes some big strikes as he lurks round.

He’s additionally gifted as a songwriter. When he freestyles for Angel, she realizes there may be one thing.

Issues got here to a head between Davis and Odalie. Amen! Name him out, woman! We’re previous the time when girls should preserve tiptoeing round fragile masculinity.

You already know what, Davis? I’m sick of worrying about your delicate emotions. I can not seem to get it proper with you, anyhow. I need to do what the fuck I need to do for as soon as. And proper now I need to take pleasure in this social gathering.

Odalie

Odalie is just not higher off, although. She has loads to cope with between her worsening leg, over-reliance on capsules, and unrequited emotions.

The spotlight of the episode was Rigo’s efficiency. He may be dumb, however he has expertise. So he no less than has that going for him. The way in which he can snatch the gang is gorgeous. That’s the risk that Sage sees.

His efficiency transported us to the true world of Step Up: Excessive Water. We’re but to see nice dance strikes, however the performances are improbable. They have been actually missed.

Huge issues occurred as we neared the episode’s finish.

Rigo carried out a fireplace diss observe which was screaming Marquise. The lyrics may solely come from somebody who hates Sage. Whereas he is not Rigo’s favourite particular person on earth, he does not hate Sage with the fervour of somebody from the streets.

♪ Now allow us to pray and burn Sage to a mountain of mud. You son of a bitch, you depraved as fuck.

Rigo

We already know Marquise is an efficient songwriter; he has written songs for Rigo earlier than, so it is not an enormous stretch to assume he wrote this one too.

The fallout from this will likely be big. Foremost, he dissed Sage, and Sage is liked within the business; then, Sage leaves his penthouse the place he’s underneath home arrest so Erin will likely be thrilled, and at last, he has jeopardized the tour, messing it up for everybody.

They will not maintain a lot love for him if he is the rationale they lose their livelihoods and derail their desires.

We might love to listen to your ideas concerning the episode.

Do you assume Angel is utilizing Odalie? Will she begin utilizing Marquise too?

Is the tour nonetheless on? Is Rigo finished for?
