A GIRLS' NIGHT OUT STIRS UP DRAMA ON A NEW EPISODE OF "NEXT STEP REALTY: NYC," AIRING THURSDAY, OCTOBER 8TH AT 4:00 P.M. ET/PT ON ABC FAMILY

Burbank, CA (September 29, 2015) - The brokers are tired of tip-toeing around Blair and Margit, but when one of the Next Steppers leaks how the office really feels about their relationship, the whole team finds out it's not wise to cross the boss' girlfriend on an all-new episode of "Next Step Realty: NYC," airing Thursday, October 8th at 4:00 p.m. ET/PT on ABC Family.

In the episode titled "Girls Night Gone Bad," Margit plans a girls' night out as a chance for the ladies of Next Step to bond. As the drinks start to flow, loose lips stir up trouble. Meanwhile, on an apartment tour, Matt shows two muscle-bound bachelors the perfect place to impress the ladies, but when they can't decide who should get the bigger room, a push-up contest is in order.

From Lincoln Square Productions comes "Next Step Realty: NYC," a business-based docu-series following the passionate and ambitious employees of The Next Step Realty, a Manhattan-based real-estate firm specializing in helping recent college graduates find their apartments in New York City. While the Next Step staff navigates the challenges of a lucrative and cut-throat real-estate market, interpersonal and professional conflicts erupt behind the scenes. Danielle Rossen ("What Would You Do?") and Michael Driscoll ("The Bachelorette") serve as executive producers.
