Plot[]

In the second season, the girls are joined at The Rock by superstar male gymnast Austin Tucker (Zane Holtz). Payson refuses to accept her body has changed since her injury and is encouraged to petition to the National Team by Ellen Beals against the advice of Sasha, who thinks she is not ready. Her petition is denied, and she is heartbroken until Sasha convinces her to return, hoping to revitalise her career by transitioning her into being an artistic gymnast. Payson, whose previous style had emphasized raw power over grace, and who continues to have conflicted feelings about her own femininity and beauty, is skeptical at first but eventually comes around and finds herself romantically attracted to Sasha. In a triumphant moment during practice she impulsively kisses him, but he pushes her away, horrified. The Kmetko family struggles financially with the loss of Emily's scholarship, until Steve Tanner secretly organizes a private scholarship to fund her training, after beginning a relationship with Chloe. When Emily finds out where the money is coming from, she refuses to accept the charity from Lauren's father and insists on paying the money back. Chloe secretly begins work as a bartender in a strip club, which she hides from everyone. Things escalate when Emily's brother begins to have seizures because his prescription has not been refilled. Discovering problems with their insurance and not having money to pay for the medication, Emily steals the medication and is arrested. Lauren finds the tape of Sasha and Payson's kiss in the practice camera. In an effort to get rid of Sasha and have Summer get back with her father, leaks only the first part (showing only the kiss) to Ellen Beals and deletes the later part (showing Sasha pushing Payson away). This results in Sasha being dismissed and Steve Tanner becoming president of The Rock. Summer is completely behind Sasha and does not believe for a second he would act inappropriately. Sasha and Summer break up because though Sasha respects Summer's values, he does not share them. Newly minted national champion Kaylie struggles with the demands of her position and slowly develops an eating disorder. Her parents refuse to believe it, and Austin, whose younger sister at one point also struggled with the same disorder, tries to convince Kaylie that she needs help. In the midseason finale, the girls compete at trials for the World Championships. Payson confronts the gymnastics committee with the support of her parents and Sasha asking them to look at Payson as an artistic gymnast. Police arrive to take Emily away, as she has missed her court hearing (which is changed by the judge to be on the day of trials). Kaylie collapses while competing on beam but is caught by Austin and rushed to the hospital. All four girls make the Worlds Team.

When Season Two returns, the girls must cope with the loss of Sasha Belov. After eventually breaking down, Kaylie admits to having an eating disorder and seeks treatment in rehab. Austin supports her, and they begin a relationship. Emily is forced to wear an anklet due to her probation after being caught stealing. The other girls continue to train for the World Gymnastics Competition, a task made harder by the presence of their arch enemy, Kelly Parker at The Rock. Sasha returns after the girls track him down in Romania, and Lauren starts to like him better, as a coach as he begins coaching her directly. While in recovery, Kaylie offers her mother's old recording studio to Emily's boyfriend Damon, who has been struggling to make an album in order to impress his new (skeptical) record label. After Emily witnesses Kaylie and Damon singing together at the Pizza Shack, she confronts Damon about it. Though there are no romantic feelings between Damon and Kaylie at that point, Emily refuses to believe it, and, in an effort to keep herself focused on her dream, she breaks up with Damon. Emily soon learns that she is pregnant and Damon is the father. After members of the NGO try to persuade her to have an abortion, she insists that they have controlled her life for too long. She ignores their suggestion, and she keeps the baby. After rushing to Damon and informing him of the baby, she insists that being teen parents together will be perfect and that she could not be happier. After she leaves, he is in a daze and does not know how to respond to her level of enthusiasm. Emily returns immediately to pack but is interrupted by Kaylie. Kaylie tells her that after Damon and Emily had broken up, in a heated moment, Damon had kissed Kaylie. Feeling betrayed and embarrassed, Emily leaves to live with her godmother in Las Vegas without telling Damon. Damon tries to search for Emily, but Chloe is not helpful. Eventually, he finds her and decides to be there for her. Summer and Steve Tanner become engaged. Lauren could not be happier to have a mother again. The wedding is planned to be in Rio, after Worlds. A new gymnast, Max (Josh Bowman), comes to The Rock, attracting the attention of both Lauren and Payson. Though Max seems more interested in Payson, and Payson has unspoken feelings towards Max, she is unable to offer him anything but friendship, as she is too focused on her dream. Lauren pursues him past the point of ridiculousness. She assures Payson that Max is her new boyfriend; Max denies this. Max, Austin and Payson help Kaylie train in secret, as they try to convince Sasha that Kaylie is healthy enough and ready to compete at Worlds. In the wake of Emily's departure due to her being pregnant, Kelly Parker becomes closer to Kaylie, despite the scheming of her stage mother (Kathy Najimy). Kaylie offers her comfort as Kelly's mom is only supportive of Kelly's fame and fortune. Kelly steals Kaylie's journal, and is instructed by her mother to give it to Ellen Beals. The night before Worlds, Kelly's loyalty to Kaylie triumphs, she returns the journal to her, and admits to stealing it. This causes Kaylie's new found trust in Kelly to falter. Summer finds out that Lauren sent in the kiss cam video, and immediately calls off the wedding, as she states she wants nothing to do with Lauren, or Steve Tanner. Max tells Austin, at a party, after Max is rather drunk, he does not think he can have a relationship with Payson because he is bisexual. He goes on a drive with Lauren, and they get into a car accident. Lauren ends up fine, but Max breaks his collarbone. Payson wants to go pro, so she can earn money to help support her family, as they are still struggling with debt after Payson's medical bills and training, but her parents do not want her to forfeit her eligibility for a college scholarship. Payson tells Max she loves him and begs him to forget she said anything when his feelings are not confessed to her. In the season finale, the four girls lead the team to the World Competition in Rio de Janeiro where they win team gold.
