Der Tag der Aufführung des schottischen Stücks ist da und Cece flattern die Nerven. Sie ist sich nicht sicher, ob es nur die Nerven sind oder ob tatsächlich ein Unheil in der Luft liegt. Cece erinnert sich nur bruchstückhaft an die vergangene Nacht, in der sie Juliet begegnet war. Jener Wizen, der Shakespeare einst das Stück "Macbeth" gestohlen und die es daraufhin mit einem Fluch belegt hatte.

Es ist offensichtlich: Das Stück "Macbeth" ist verflucht und Cece hat den Fluch versehentlich heraufbeschworen. Nun setzt sie alles daran, den Fluch zu brechen, um jedes Unglück abzuwenden. Mithilfe von Amy und Lola kommt Cece dahinter, dass Shakespeare damals einer umherziehenden Schauspielerin und Wizen das Stück geklaut hat. Daraufhin hatte jene Juliet das Stück mit einem Fluch belegt.

Seitdem geschehen sonderbare Dinge an der Ballettschule und alle sind angespannt und benehmen sich merkwürdig. Aus der Rivalität zwischen Jack und Benoit entwickelt sich ein regelrechter Kampf um die Hauptrolle.
