She hopes to ear enough to reopen the local dance school but strangely a bond grows with Jack. Then municipal councilor Henry, Jack's neighbor, promises Valentina to get her immigration status legalized, and buy the dance school, while courting her. Jealous, Jack atypically invites her on research tour as his publisher is fed up with outdated info, and their affair blossoms.
