"Who was that?" asks Nicole, as Miss Grant leaves with the beautiful stranger who stole the show in their dance class
The rest of the class stand watching with her, as Leroy answers "That was Miss Coco Hernandez. Ain't she somethin'?"
Coco's return to get her high school diploma makes waves, especially when she tries out for, and gets, a part in the new school production, to be directed by Nathan Adler, the legendary director. Until she tried out, Nicole was a shoo-in for the role.
As the episode goes on, we learn that life hasn't exactly been kind to Coco since she left in spite of appearances. Eventually she realises that she won't find what she's looking for in the school. She can only go forward, and "never look back"
