Burbank, CA (February 4, 2013) - When a nearby fire threatens the town, Michelle helps Bash turn the dance studio into an evacuation center on an all new episode of ABC Family's original series "Bunheads," airing Monday, February 18 at 9:00PM ET/PT.

In "It's Not a Mint," when a fire breaks out on the edge of town, Bash (guest star Sean Gunn, "Gilmore Girls") forces Michelle to turn the dance studio into an evacuation shelter.

Meanwhile, the girls react in different ways to the boys in their lives: Sasha and Roman get closer, Ginny can't stop staring at Frankie, Boo is caught in the middle of an unintentional triangle and Melanie is being stalked by Dez.

"Bunheads" is executive produced by Amy Sherman-Palladino. The series stars Sutton Foster, Kaitlyn Jenkins, Julia Goldani Telles, Bailey Buntain and Emma Dumont with guest star Kelly Bishop.
