Episode 3 · 21 episodes · Aria Bellini, Bianca Bellini, Evelyn (Mrs. Bellini)
Mr. Bellini pulls Evelyn away to focus on Bianca, and the ambulance runs over Aria's flower bed outside. Aria's spirit looks back on a dance studio visit from a month ago. She told Mrs. Eleanor she needed to quit ballet because Bianca hated the tapping of pointe shoes. At a mafia banquet flashback, Valentina and two dancers shove Aria against lockers and lock her inside alone.
Mr. Bellini leads Evelyn away to take care of Bianca. Aria's spirit stands at the window and watches the vehicle drive away across the lawn. Its heavy tires roll directly over her patch of white roses.
One month earlier, Aria visits Mrs. Eleanor in tears to give up ballet. She explains Bianca claims the sound of pointe shoes makes her want to die. Mrs. Eleanor offers Aria an open key to practice in private.
During a mafia banquet, Valentina surrounds Aria with two other dancers. They slam Aria violently into the metal lockers and taunt her. Valentina shuts the door from the outside and locks Aria inside the dark room alone.
“Leave her, Bianca comes first.”
“Mrs. Eleanor, I wanted to quit dancing.”
“You can practice here. Whenever you want.”
“Well, well. Look who it is, the ballet prodigy.”
Valentina and the other girls trap Aria inside the banquet dressing room, leaving her crying in the darkness. The flashback leaves Aria locked away without anyone coming to help. Will Aria manage to escape the room before the banquet ends, or will her family punish her for disappearing from the event?
