While Chloe is good at advising others, she's not so great when it comes to herself. Her blossoming feelings for Nathaniel are completely new to her... and completely terrifying.

Sasha had backed The Wonderland in the TV talent show The Spotlight, and felt humiliated when they didn't win. Her revenge was to sign the winners, Girls Here First, and make a success of them regardless of what she has to put the girls through.
