She begins to bond with Michelle after she helps her students with an audition process and a chat in the bar. They share a dance before she learns her son has died. Fanny begins to create an elaborate memorial for him that gets out of control. Fanny breaks down about it but her student's memorial lifted her up. She is in shock to learn that Michelle now owns everything. Michelle however decides to move into the guest house and let Fanny keep the main house and studio. Fanny is very excited to have the Joffrey Auditions at her studio again but then those happy thoughts are crushed after they need the conditions of the studio floor, which isn't too good. Michelle manages to convince Fanny to get someone to fix it overnight. Fanny has her own special 'paying season' that only occurs twice a year but Fanny herself isn't getting paid as only 9 of her 75 students pay for classes. Soon Fanny thinks about adding in more classes but would need Michelle, who refuses to teach, to assist. She decides to just go on a vacation and take a break. She later extends her trip and posts it on Facebook but returns a week later. Fanny is getting everyone ready for their performance season, which entails many performances over the summer. She sticks close to her rules as she gave Sasha's routine to Boo after she broke the rules. It's also revealed that she has a boyfriend named Michael. She is fond of Michael and even thought of marrying him, however, Hubbell wasn't too fond of it. She asks Michael to stay for as long as possible to which he agrees. She later kicks Sasha out of her studio for breaking even more of her rules and trying out for cheerleading. After that, Fanny becomes extremely tense. She tries to get Clara so much that she even thinks she can pick a boy to do it. Fanny also encourages Michelle to call her friend Richard and try to get a job.

Fanny then reveals to Michelle that she was planning on heading out on a vacation with Michael but is angry when she learns he bought property out in Montana. After Michelle makes all of her cast, she blames all the bad luck on Michelle and tends to the many angry parents. Fanny decided to re-do her home but was distracted by her studio, which she closed down. Eventually, she decided to get Michelle back and get her back. Fanny re-opens the dance studio.
