And now we have the big update on Misty’s injury. She crutches over from the audience to the dance floor, where a chair has been placed. Her leg is in a cast. Whoa. Then they show us the footage again of the injury, and you actually hear something pop! Gross! Misty thought she hit the stairs, and it seems the pain did not set in immediately. Once it did however, we see her being comforted by Rocco and Karina as she sobs. Oh yeah, she ruptured her Achilles Tendon! Holy Crap! Misty said she had a knee replacement and came back stronger, so she’s positive about it all. Obviously, the surgery she’s having tomorrow will prevent her from dancing anymore this season. Everyone’s out on stage again, and Maks comes out to stand by her side. Tom asks how this will affect her in volleyball world, and Misty says it’ll be fine, since she was taking ’09 off anyway. Maks says he was more emotional than Misty was at the hospital! Misty says the world needs more Maksims and on most days, I agree. He hopes she’ll forgive him. She just wants to come back when she’s healed up so they can do their Jive. We get a montage of their eight weeks of training and performing together, and really, they’re very cute.
