Recap

The episode begins with three ballerinas performing in the studio. One of them walks towards the empty auditorium and turns on the lights and starts dancing on the stage.

The victim is Ellen White and she is nineteen years old. The ballerina who found the body is Alexa Holdman. Ellen was Alexa’s understudy. Hawkes says that the COD is asphyxiation and maybe it is not the rope that killed her. ..
