Jennifer: And I am Jennifer Aniston! Well, tonight, our celebrities are back with their respective partners and are dancing a dance they haven’t done yet! BUT THAT’S NOT ALL! They will also be dancing a Lindy Hop marathon by the end of the night!

The celebrity couples come down the stairs in this order: Jodie Foster, Christina Applegate, P!nk, Morgan Freeman, Elizabeth Gillies, Matthew Morrison, Kelly Rowland, Bill Clinton, Katherine Heigl, and Jesse Eisenberg.

Natalie: That WAS spunky, like you described! I love the R&B feel it had, which is near impossible for a Samba! Great job Jodie, and same to you Tony!

Brittany: WOW, WOW, WOW! Go Bill! I loved it! Judges?
Ryan: Unfortunately, Justin should be here tonight. I'm sorry, this wasn't good at all.
Valerie: The song. The choreography. The outfits. It all could have worked. But, you just weren't doing it for me, Bill. It was better, but still quite poor for this standard.
Natalie: I like how you were trying, Bill, but everyone’s right. It’s still poor quality! Please keep trying though! I have no doubt that you can make it to next week!
Brittany: Up you go to Jennifer!

Natalie: It kills me to say this, but this dance didn’t really do it for me… It just seemed a little unmemorable. Sorry guys!
Ryan: Great interpretation of the lyrics, and another great performance. Well done.
Valerie: What a shame Elizabeth, I didn't feel it. I didn't think the music was right tonight and it wasn't working in your fluidity of the overall dance.

Valerie: Wow. That was sure interesting! It wasn't a brilliant dance but you made it work with your fun entertainment.

Jennifer: Great job, Morgan! Back to Brittany to start the Lindy Hop Marathon! Oh boy!
We see the VT. Christina is having a little trouble with some of the lifts Jonathan is throwing at her. Bill is at his wit’s end trying to get through the 4-minute long routine. Jesse is a little nervous that he’ll bump into someone while dancing, Jodie has the same worry. Morgan is a little exhausted due to his Jive. Elizabeth hopes she can please with her take on the Lindy Hop. Katherine plans some nice lifts with Maks. Matthew is worried he will drop Joy with the lifts she’s planned. P!nk wants to make first place and out stage everybody! Kelly is excited to be in the competition! At the end of the VT, Jennifer and Brittany are on stage.
Brittany: Now, here we go! We've all been waiting all night for this, so let's get started! Please welcome all ten of our couples!
All ten couples hit the floor in various colored ‘Lindy-Hop inspired’ dresses and shirts. Christina is in blue, Bill is in red, Jesse is in green, Jodie is in black, Morgan is in yellow, Elizabeth is in brown, Katherine is in orange, Matthew is in white and P!nk is in pink (coincidentally), and Kelly is in purple. The pros are in the same colors as their partners. The band begins playing “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy” by the Andrew Sisters.
Round 1 begins. Most of the stars start out with comedic routines. Jodie and Bill ditch their partners and dance together again. Morgan pretends that Edyta is a wind-up toy and pretends to crank her back. Bill and Anna are first out.
Round 2 begins. Everyone starts to get serious. They don’t want to go. Jesse and Kym do some spectacular lifts and almost knock over Matthew and Joy. It is Morgan and Edyta who leave next.
Round 3 begins. Katherine jokingly hops over Maksim’s back and he pulls her under him in an amazing trick. Jodie starts to lose steam. Jodie and Tony are out next.
Round 4 begins. Elizabeth is lifted on top of Neil with only one hand while everyone else seems jealous. Jesse messes up a move which results in his elimination.
Round 5 begins. Christina and Jonathan try to imitate the move Liz and Neil just did. Matthew is swirling Joy around with a lift. Kelly and Derek are out next, though.
Round 6 begins. P!nk and Louis pretend to be soldiers by saluting and doing a complicated handshake/lift. The audience is impressed. Elizabeth and Neil are eliminated.
Round 7 begins. All four dances create a large circle where the women are all lifted while the men hold the women up. The crowd is amazed by the lift. Yet, P!nk and Louis are booted out.
Round 8 begins. By now, it’s dead serious, but not without it’s perks. Katherine and Christina team up to surprisingly flip Matthew in the air while all three partners watch while laughing. Christina and Jonathan are shockingly out next.
The final round begins. Katherine and Maksim are doing lift after lift while Matthew and Joy are performing charming steps around the stage. Matthew and Joy are revealed to be the winners and are awarded the 10 extra points, Katherine and Maksim still get 9 points, though.
Jennifer: Wow, great job Matthew and Joy! Judges, it's time to ask: why did you choose Matt to win the marathon? Natalie, we'll go to you.
Natalie: I think it’s because Matthew really captured the essence of the Lindy Hop throughout, yet, so did Katherine. It was a hard decision!
Jennifer: I bet it was! Here's a look at all of the dances from tonight!
