Episode synopsis
As with the movie, Baby is on her way for a summer at Kellerman's with a similar monologue. The difference, in the series, she is Baby Kellerman and this is the first time she has spent time with her father in years - since her father's divorce. While she is content to spend the summer doing a regular job at the resort, her father makes her an entertainment coordinator, a job that was held by Johnny Castle (still the dance instructor). While Johnny is not happy about the change, he allows it. Baby works to be accepted by the group, fights her attraction to Johnny, and learns to dance - all while getting to know her father as an adult.
