Later, when Shannon wins a dance internship in New York City, she finds she cannot go because her stepmother, Sabrina (Lindsay Frost), will not allow her to use any of her father's money.

She pleads with her stepmother, who rebuffs her, suggesting her dream of becoming a dancer is just a passing whim, and that Shannon needs to make her own way.
