The premiere marks a happy return to work for Carrie, who's had a tough few months full of struggle, which she recapped in a post she shared on her Instagram recently.
She began, "Six months ago, I got a wake up call. My body has shut down. I couldn’t go into work. As a dancer, I’ve always pushed through my pain, no matter the cost. Well, it got expensive. And I could no longer afford to pay that price. I had to stop. I had to change course. And I did."

Carrie also touched on "understanding my own depression and my own mental health" and the difficult decision to "step away from a job I loved" in order for her to take care of herself, all during the pandemic.
Thankfully, six months later after "building a new life", Carrie is now feeling well. She wrote, "I would not give up… and though I lost a few things along the way, I have my life back. And I'm beyond grateful."
