0:01Here we are!
0:02New York City.
0:04We need to work on "The Last Text" for "The View.
0:08Asia, walk in and take over.
0:10They're going to forget about you.
0:12What's that?
0:13CHRISTI: What's this?
0:14What's she doing?
0:15It's a thank you card for letting me on the team.
0:18Oh!
0:20We are holding an open audition.
0:22We found a girl.
0:24Hello.
0:26Let me hear it for Candy Apples.
0:27Are we going to win?
0:28ALL: Yeah!
0:30ABBY LEE: Coming up on "Dance Moms."
0:31Do not embarrass me with Cathy.
0:33Do not embarrass me in New York.
0:35- Christi-- - Yes, I'm speaking.
0:36Look at me when you talk. Look at me when you talk.
0:38Excuse me?
0:39I'm looking you in the eye, bitch.
0:41ANTHONY: Step out of my face.
0:42You want to see me in your face?
0:44Tell her to ignore me because I don't say nothing to her.
0:47I'll kick you right in the [bleep]..
0:49KELLY: Paige?
0:50I didn't want my daughter being humiliated.
0:53And instead of it going away, she
0:55did it in front of an entire [bleep] live audience.
1:01THEME SONG: Get up, get on the floor.
1:05My world is with my girls, Livin' on the dance floor.
1:18Step back.
1:18[inaudible] should back up.
1:20Then the turns.
1:21Who backed up?
1:22This week, we're here in New York City
1:24and "The View" was amazing, but now I
1:27got to get back to business.
1:28We are attending the Masters of Dance,
1:32and I know that Cathy's going to be there,
1:34and she's gunning for our heads.
1:37I have solos going, plus a very controversial group number.
1:42Everybody is in the group routine.
1:44Asia, you will be performing a solo.
1:47[applause]
1:48I have another solo going to Chloe.
1:50[applause]
1:52Maddie, you will also be doing a solo.
1:55All right, listen up, girls.
1:56This is the way it's gonna go.
1:57"The View" today, although spectacular,
2:01took up a lot of our good time.
2:03So I'm gonna start with the solos.
2:06I need everybody to have their head on straight and ready
2:09for this competition.
2:17CHLOE: This week, I have a solo called "My Obsession,"
2:20and Miss Abby said it's kind of contemporary, kind of jazz
2:23a little bit.
2:25And she said the story is am I obsessed
2:27with winning, am I obsessed with dancing, am I obsessed--
2:31Like, what am I obsessed with?
2:32And what is your obsession?
2:34With dancing and trying my hardest and never giving up.
2:40CHRISTI: So, KRISTIE, how are you feeling after "The View?"
2:44The same.
2:45[laughs]
2:47Who's gonna be in the dance?
2:48ABBY LEE: You are gonna do the number.
2:51I don't know.
2:52I just think, you--
2:53You know what?
2:54You're the first to say I go from 0 to 60.
2:56And you're like, "Oh, well, whatever."
2:57KRISTIE: You know why?
2:59I expected more of a fiery reaction out of you.
3:00You know, I probably would have been more fiery if I
3:02didn't read it before it came.
3:05All right, that's hones.
3:06JILL: I think everybody kind of read it before you came.
3:08Oh, you did?
3:10The way it played out, it's like, I already knew, and so--
3:13CHRISTI: No, but don't you feel like a pawn?
3:14Like, that would make me mad. - Well, I-- That's what I said.
3:16I said I'm over the charade.
3:17See, if I had a kid that couldn't understand
3:21or wasn't mature enough to just whatever.
3:24It's like an audition.
3:25She's been in enough times, in auditions where that's
3:29why it doesn't affect her and she's not as sensitive to it.
3:31These moms today, you know, treated Asia and I as like,
3:34an outsider, and they didn't want Asia to dance.
3:37And you know what?
3:38I'm not intimidated.
3:39We're here to stay, and I've dealt
3:41with more difficult situations than Asia
3:43not being on that "View" stage.
3:49CATHY: OK, guys.
3:55So the group dance is going to be like the Day of the Dead
3:59and it's a celebration, even though death--
4:03which is not so much a celebration-- is going on.
4:06This drives me insane.
4:08What is-- is this--?
4:09Do you want it to be a fist?
4:10ANTHONY: A fist.
4:11This is not a fist, boys.
4:13This, to me, is weak, weak.
4:16Today is about nitpicking.
4:18Anthony is gonna get-- he's gonna get fired up today,
4:21because this number has so much potential.
4:24It's the love that's making us feel this way.
4:26This is all about making you amazing!
4:29ANTHONY: Foom, here, you chassé.
4:30Foom. No.
4:31CATHY: Big chassé.
4:32No, It's too small.
4:33You're like--
4:33CATHY: Big chassé.
4:34You have to from here.
4:35Look, let's go back down.
4:37Chassé.
4:38And then, look.
4:39This all-- Look at my--
4:42You have to watch and pay attention to detail.
4:44You stop and do everything way too fast.
4:47CATHY: Victoria seems like she's a pretty well-rounded dancer.
4:51She takes corrections very well.
4:53She is not shirking or shunning to Anthony's sometimes brutal
4:59coaching.
5:00She's absolutely beautiful and she is completely
5:02portraying the role that we want her to for this group number.
5:12ABBY LEE: All right, listen to me.
5:14What I'm telling you about this number,
5:16it needs to make people feel something.
5:19And if you're not feeling it, they're not gonna feel it.
5:22If we tell a story, if those judges are in tears, Maddie,
5:26we need to make them feel something.
5:28And you don't know in who's life out there that's happened.
5:33The group number this week is called "Runaways."
5:36Lots of privileged children run away from home.
5:39It's a problem in society today.
5:41I feel this is getting the judges to feel something.
5:44Getting our audience to be moved in some way.
5:47If I can do it in an artistic way, in a respectful way,
5:50but I can make the judges see something and feel something
5:53and learn something, why not take the opportunity?
5:56Here.
5:59You're hand, and you look to them for help.
6:02Look to her for help.
6:04Uh-uh, turn your back on her.
6:06CHRISTI: Does anybody here--
6:07I know the answer used to be do we think Cathy's a threat,
6:10and it was always no.
6:12But now that she has these boys, and they beat us,
6:14do you think she's a threat? JILL: I do.
6:15I don't think Cathy's a threat.
6:16I think the boys are a threat.
6:18And it has been shown with a good choreographer, not Cathy,
6:21to beat our kids.
6:22So, yes, her boys--
6:24her team is a threat.
6:25She is no threat.
6:26It's temporary.
6:27I think the group that she had that danced and got the 300,
6:30I think that group is amazing and it's threatening.
6:32Right.
6:33But that number would not have been the same
6:36without Geno and with Jalen coming in and spinning
6:39on his head.
6:40Will spin for food, or, dance or whatever.
6:42Spinning on the head, I don't see him fitting in.
6:44Can he be put into a contemporary routine and it
6:47be just as good?
6:48No, I don't think so.
6:49Mm-mm.
6:51You're looking at your hands, like, I did this.
6:53Like, wipe your and take your hands and be, like.
6:58And then you are, like, take your hands
7:01and push them away from me, like, "get away."
7:04Go.
7:05Whack!
7:07Down, start to roll in pain, agony, and look at her like,
7:11help me.
7:12And you push her hands back.
7:14No, no, , no no, no.
7:20Yeah.
7:21JILL: She's the bad girl.
7:22Hey, it's a role.
7:23I don't care.
7:25I don't care, it's a role.
7:27You got to act, you got to act.
7:29Oh, I don't know.
7:30It's a little bit sensitive, wouldn't you say?
7:32No, but I-- you know what, I don't think that way.
7:34If she walks or Abby kicks her out, then that's on her.
7:37My kid has a voice.
7:38She can raise her-- she can speak for herself.
7:41But she's seven.
7:42She hasn't cried yet about the [bleep] that's been going on.
7:45But wait a minute.
7:46You just said that your kid doesn't cry.
7:47I think that it was put it out that she cried twice
7:49since she's been here, KRISTIE.
7:51When?
7:52Name one, about a dance.
7:53- Yeah, it was about a dance. - What about?
7:55What? - About the duet.
7:56No, she didn't cry after the duet.
7:58- Yes, she did. - I thought she did.
8:00KRISTIE: No, she didn't. - Holly?
8:01Apparently with Kristie, you can take away her daughter's
8:04role in dancing on a national television talk show,
8:07but don't you dare say that she cries.
8:09I think Jill saw her when she came out.
8:10Really?
8:11Really, Kristie.
8:12You can sit there and say, "Really, Jill?
8:14Really? Really?
8:15Yes! - Back up.
8:16No.
8:17After you ran in and saved her--
8:18Uh-huh?
8:19She said, "Oh, I was crying because I felt sad for Nia."
8:21No, no, she was not crying.
8:23She was crying, just face it.
8:24Don't sugarcoat it, Kristie.
8:26Don't put me in the same boat as you.
8:28My daughter wears her heart out on her sleeve.
8:31She doesn't have to go in the bathroom to cry--
8:33She didn't.
8:34--and pretend she didn't.
8:35Asia felt bad that Nia got yelled at.
8:38You just said Asia has a hard shell; she doesn't cry.
8:41She cries. - Give up.
8:42Give up.
8:43You're not getting to me.
8:44I'm not gonna give up because I was there.
8:46Give it up.
8:47You're raising your voice.
8:48I don't care.
8:49You're the one that says it never will happen.
8:51It already happened. - I didn't say never.
8:53I did not say never.
8:54I said that my daughter's strong enough to handle it.
8:57OK, she didn't handle it the other night.
8:59So get it straight and don't get it twisted.
9:00And get your facts--
9:01It's not twisted.
9:02KRISTIE: Get your facts right.
9:03Get your facts right, Jill.
9:05I don't mind if my child cries, she's seven.
9:08she can cry all day [bleep] long.
9:10So [bleep] what?
9:11Who cares?
9:25MELISSA: So we're taking the kids ice-skating today,
9:28something fun for the kids.
9:31I don't think this is the best thing to do before a dance
9:34competition because Abby's going to freak out if she finds out.
9:37JILL: Here, here, here.
9:38Here's a two.
9:39Who's a two? MELISSA: That's Maddie.
9:40GIRL: Maddie.
9:41MELISSA: Maddie, put your skates on.
9:45I am your mother.
9:46Put your skates on.
9:48Do you know what this is about, Maddie?
9:49It's about fun.
9:50Have fun.
9:51Stop crying.
9:52CHRISTI: Maddie didn't want to ice-skate because she needs
9:55to be the best at everything she does.
9:57And clearly, she's not an Olympic gold medalist in figure
10:00skating, so she didn't want to skate.
10:04KENDALL: Asia, Asia, why aren't you going?
10:07KENDALL: Why? KRISTIE: OK.
10:09She's not allowed to. KENDALL: Why?
10:10KRISTIE: 'Cause she can't be hurt.
10:12CHRISTI: Well, nobody can be hurt.
10:13Well, I know.
10:14She's not going to do it.
10:16She knows why.
10:18Well, it's up to you.
10:19You let your kid skate if they want to.
10:24I'm not playing their game.
10:26I'm not playing their [bleep] game.
10:27You're not skating.
10:30Asia, you know why you can't skate.
10:33JILL: She was an ice-skater, for God's sake.
10:35MELISSA: I don't know why it's so important for Kristie
10:38to tell us that Asia never cries.
10:40Here's some tears now for Asia.
10:42I thought she didn't cry.
10:43MELISSA: Here, we have to hold hands.
10:44Oh, I'm not holding your hand, you're gonna pull me down.
10:47KELLY: [screams] Hold on!
10:48Aah!
10:49[bleep]
10:51Come on, I'll hold your hand, Maddie.
10:52JILL: Chloe, I can turn like you!
10:54MELISSA: Are you staying on the wall the whole time?
10:56Yeah. MELISSA: I think that's good.
10:58[laughs]
10:59Stand up!
11:00Come on.
11:01Hey, You're not gonna fall on the ice.
11:04MELISSA: I'm sorry, Your Highness.
11:05KELLY: Oh, right into the wall!
11:09[music playing]
11:18ANTHONY: Seven, eight.
11:19One, two, foom, foom, fah, hoom.
11:22Yup.
11:23And so, this is where you have to evoke that spirit,
11:25like the spell.
11:25Foom!
11:27CATHY: The name of the duet is "Illusions of Dance."
11:30And it's gonna be pretty magical.
11:32We have two magicians.
11:35One is very formally trained, and the other magician
11:39is a street magician.
11:41Boy, wouldn't it be nice if Anthony could just
11:43go "Hocus Pocus" and poof--
11:44Abby disappears?
11:46I could go like--
11:47Then, yeah, to go five, six, seven, eight, yes?
11:49Yeah.
11:50And Jalen, when you run back-- ANTHONY: And find each other.
11:52--make half circles with your feet.
11:54Yeah, so when you, when you fa-- roll on the floor--
11:55Half circles.
12:00Can you tell him what you need to tell him so I can continue?
12:05You're over there talking to him, Anthony.
12:07I'm not gonna just stand here and not help out.
12:09We're in a time crunch, OK?
12:11And I got where you're going.
12:12You don't know where I'm going.
12:13CATHY: That you're the artist.
12:14You don't know where I'm going.
12:15Can you just be quiet?
12:15No.
12:17ANTHONY: I'm giving them both a note to roll on the floor,
12:18and you're talking to him while I'm talking to him.
12:21Listen, if I'm gonna be able to step in to help out,
12:23that's what I'm gonna do.
12:24But you don't know what you're talking about.
12:25Oh, really?
12:26You don't know what you're talking about.
12:27Oh, really?
12:28I don't know what I'm talking about?
12:28Yes, really.
12:29If you're gonna give the note--
12:30ANTHONY: If you're gonna get in my face,
12:31step out of my my face.
12:31Step out of my face.
12:32You want to see me in your face?
12:34You will never be in my face.
12:35Then don't be condescending to me.
12:36- You will never be in my face. - Don't be condescending to me.
12:38- You will never be in my face. - OK.
12:40Then don't tell me not to get in your face
12:41if I'm not in your face.
12:44ABBY LEE: Asia, we're going to start with her.
12:46And you all are going to do 100 push-ups.
12:49She doesn't have to do the 100 push-ups 'cause she didn't
12:52ice-skate.
12:53You were selfish, you were naive,
12:58and you put this entire group in jeopardy.
13:00I found out the girls went ice-skating.
13:02The Abby Lee Dance Company contract is very specific.
13:05No ice-skating.
13:07These are things that protect your child,
13:10as well as the group and the choreography and all the money
13:14that's gone into doing a competition.
13:17You know, when somebody gets hurt,
13:19everybody else has to pay for it.
13:21(SINGING) Love cries.
13:23Asia has an amazing solo this week.
13:25It's called "The Robot."
13:27And it's going to be hard to keep her a little stiff,
13:30but we're gonna try.
13:32JILL: Look, all the girls are doing push-ups
13:34and Asia's running her solo.
13:35What's that about?
13:36Did the kids have a really good time?
13:37They did.
13:38They did. - That's all that matters.
13:39Sometimes they have to just be kids, like--
13:41Enjoy their childhood.
13:42For God's sake.
13:43KELLY: Abby's sitting here making these kids do push-ups
13:46because they went ice-skating.
13:47Abby, what did you do while the kids were ice-skating?
13:50Did you maybe go for dinner?
13:51Maybe you should be doing the sit-ups and the push-ups.
13:54I still stand.
13:55Asia knows, and she's not going ice-skate two days
13:58before competition because you can't be 100% sure an accident
14:02won't happen on the ice.
14:03That's not what you said yesterday.
14:04Well, I'm telling you now.
14:06After thinking about it, we have two days out for a show.
14:08You want to just take that chance?
14:09I don't, as a mother.
14:11My daughter's a dancer.
14:12Why are you getting all bent out of shape?
14:14Nobody's asked you.
14:15- Christi. - Yes, I'm speaking.
14:17Look at me when you talk. Look at me when you talk.
14:18Excuse me?
14:19Look at me when you talk! CHRISTI: Excuse me.
14:21Excuse me.
14:22I don't want to look at you when I talk!
14:23Well, then don't talk to me.
14:25Well, then don't talk to us.
14:26Nobody asked you! - I'm answering a question.
14:28Nobody asked you a question.
14:29Yes, you did.
14:30You just asked me a [bleep] question!
14:31You need to settle yourself down.
14:33KRISTIE: No, I don't. 'Cause guess what?
14:34CHRISTI: You need to settle yourself down.
14:35You look at me when you talk to me.
14:36Don't look at your phone.
14:37Look at me!
14:38Don't you tell me what to do!
14:39KRISTIE: I'm telling you what to do!
14:41It's important that if someone is gonna talk to me
14:43and ask me a question, is that they look me in the eye.
14:46Not ask me a question and look away and then make faces.
14:49It's disrespectful, and you're not
14:51gonna do it when you're talking to me.
14:52I'm sorry that you guys are miserable!
14:54We're not miserable. KRISTIE: You guys are miserable!
14:55Our kids are happy.
14:57Then look at me when you talk to me!
14:59I don't want to look at you when I talk to you!
15:02You guys are so caught up on, "Oh my, God,"
15:05complaining about every little [bleep] that happens.
15:08I don't know why you're being so emotional about this.
15:10Because Christi and Jill bring it up,
15:12and then Christi's over there, standing there, making faces
15:15like, "Oh, my God, I can't believe she's saying that.
15:17Oh my God." - I can't.
15:18But then you can't look me in the eye and then--
15:19I"m looking you in the eye, bitch.
15:21Bitch, let's go.
15:21Let's go.
15:22- I'm not that way. - Sit down.
15:24Exactly, so don't call me a bitch if you can't back it up!
15:25I"m not that way.
15:26Settle yourself down.
15:27Do not call me a bitch if you can't back it up.
15:30CHRISTI: I can back it up, but I don't fight like that.
15:32OK, then don't use those words towards me.
15:34I think Kristie is going to knock the other Christi out.
15:37And I'm just like, "Stay away.
15:38I don't fight I'm a lover, not a fighter."
15:40[chuckles]
15:41Watch your tongue!
15:42You need--
15:43- Watch your tongue! - Get your finger away from me.
15:45I'm telling you, watch your tongue.
15:46You call me a bitch one more time--
15:46What, are you gonna hit me?
15:48- Watch your tongue. - What, are you gonna hit me?
15:49Watch your tongue.
15:50CHRISTI: Are you going to hit me?
15:51- Watch your tongue. - You don't tell me what to do.
15:52What, are you gonna hit me?
15:53Watch your tongue.
15:55ABBY LEE: No, I love her.
15:56I hope she slaps her in the face.
15:58CHRISTI: Why am I the one in trouble
16:00when this is going like this?
16:01Why are you so violent?
16:02I'm not violent.
16:03You just-- you just don't--
16:04you just don't know how to handle me.
16:06That's why.
16:07JILL: Kristie Ray is a time bomb.
16:09I have no idea what Kristie has in mind
16:12when she jumps out of her chair and gets in Christi's face.
16:17KRISTIE: Save it.
16:18Save it, Christi, save it.
16:19CHRISTI: You save it.
16:20Save it.
16:21Save it, OK?
16:23CHRISTI: You save it.
16:24Save it.
16:26I'm not looking way now, am I?
16:27Good.
16:28Now I taught you a lesson.
16:30You taught me how I don't want to behave.
16:32Save it.
16:33Sorry.
16:47ABBY LEE: Masters of Dance Arts is supposed
16:49to be a big competition.
16:50There's a lot of schools going, and they're good schools.
16:53And anytime Cathy shows up, it always puts me on edge.
16:56Ever since she has this "boys team," I'm a little nervous,
17:01'cause we all know the boys can beat the girls
17:04in a dance competition.
17:07[indistinct shouts]
17:08CHILD: Yeah!
17:10Do not acknowledge them.
17:12They don't exist.
17:15MELISSA: Where's Cathy?
17:18Vivi's always sick.
17:19Vivi's really sick?
17:21Cathy's not here at all?
17:22Cathy's not here.
17:25JILL: Our kids are here, Cathy's team is here.
17:27No Cathy.
17:28Hallelujah!
17:29There is a God.
17:31KELLY: Well, I heard that little girl with Cathy is from Larkin.
17:35ABBY LEE: She is.
17:36KELLY: So, is she good.
17:37ABBY LEE: I'm sure she's good.
17:38I mean, that studio's really good?
17:39ABBY LEE: Yes.
17:41Plus, I think she's actually a ballet student.
17:43We asked her if she was a ballet student.
17:44She looks like she she was more ballet.
17:46She said she was a ballerina.
17:47KELLY: Abby.
17:49Did Anthony come to do their group?
17:50Yeah You want to know the truth, what my real opinion is?
17:54Yes.
17:55I think he's wonderful, but he's the kind
17:57of choreographer-- they choreograph for themselves,
18:01and they want the kid to look like them.
18:04They don't choreograph for the kid, what the kid does well.
18:07There's a difference between being an amazing dancer
18:09and being an amazing choreographer.
18:11Right.
18:12That's why I win.
18:15ANTHONY: So when--
18:16I should probably, uh, start doing a little warm-up, too.
18:18Come here, Vice.
18:19Can you help her out, Ma?
18:20Aha!
18:22Doctor-- doctor's in the house.
18:24Oh, look at Little Oozy-woozy.
18:26[rhythmic grunting]
18:29Well, I can't see your face, dude.
18:30How do you feel, Victoria?
18:31- Good. - That's all?
18:33You gonna give me one word every time I ask you a question.
18:35- Excited! - Yeah?
18:36Very excited to dance on stage.
18:38Yeah, exactly.
18:38That's what I'm talking about.
18:40Five, six, seven, eight.
18:42Oh.
18:42Put an arm raise on that one.
18:45[music playing]
18:52JILL: So you guys think Cathy will show up?
18:54Oh, I think she's coming.
18:56I can't believe that she would leave her team high and dry,
18:59not even show up.
19:00Last time she was pretty smug.
19:01It's tough to get there it's harder to stay there.
19:03She's probably thinking-- HOLLY: No.
19:05I think she's pretty kind of confident.
19:06Just like that.
19:07She's pretty smug.
19:08She probably thinks she-- she doesn't need to be here
19:10because she has it all wrapped up.
19:13Yeah.
19:14Has anyone heard from Cathy?
19:17WOMAN: She's--
19:18Have you guys heard from Cathy?
19:19- Not yet. - No.
19:20Vivi's sick.
19:21You're going to be our fearless leader.
19:23WOMAN: Yeah.
19:24ANTHONY: Long as Abby don't come up in my face, you know?
19:26MAN: I got you. - Yeah, I know you do.
19:28Between you two.
19:28[laughter]
19:30Give me-- look at that, Wonder--
19:32Wonder Twins. Wonder Twins.
19:38ABBY LEE: Woo!
19:39CHRISTI: Oh, my.
19:40Kelly, she stole your "Jetsons" outfit.
19:42JILL: Looks like Buzz Lightyear.
19:43Let me see.
19:44JILL: That's Buzz Lightyear.
19:45We need to run her number.
19:47MELISSA: Run your number.
19:48ABBY LEE: Sickled feet!
19:50Four walks.
19:51Careful!
19:54Keep your ankles together.
19:55You look pigeon toed when you're doing that.
19:56Are we ready to go? You two ready to go?
19:58JILL: Yeah.
19:59ABBY LEE: The solos are up first.
20:01If they let the wicked witch's boys get to them,
20:05they're going to crack under the pressure.
20:07And the Abby Lee Dance Company doesn't crack.
20:11You understand that the judges have seen a whole bunch
20:13of stuff-- maybe some great, maybe some not so great.
20:16All right?
20:17So you come out doing something exciting.
20:19You wake them up.
20:20But it has to be done well.
20:22Yes?
20:24You know what your mistakes are.
20:26You know what you do wrong.
20:27I don't need to remind you of them.
20:29Just don't regret the performance.
20:32Come off saying, "That was the best I could have done today."
20:35MELISSA: Abby puts Maddie and Chloe against each other,
20:37again.
20:38It's a good competition, though.
20:40They really make each other work harder.
20:43Chloe definitely can beat Maddie.
20:44Maddie can definitely be Chloe any week.
20:46It goes both ways.
20:47All right. Come on, girls!
20:48This is it!
20:49Let's go!
20:51[music playing]
20:53ANNOUNCER: That was "Beauty and a Beat," number 44.
20:57All righty.
20:58We are onto act number 13.
21:01This is a Mini Open Solo.
21:02Please welcome Asia, performing "The Robot."

21:46Getting a little crazy.
21:47Lying, not at all.
21:50If I show my feelings, I'll have to break the law.
21:54Love crimes.
21:56I have to say something.
21:58If love is illegal, guess I'm guilty of love crimes.
22:04Am I the only one dealing with the feeling,
22:08having all this fun?
22:10Love crimes.
22:17[cheering and applause]
22:22ABBY LEE: Even though Asia was portraying a robot,
22:25there was nothing mechanical going on.
22:28Her face was all human.
22:31She brought that robot to life.
22:35Wait, Asia.
22:36Asia.
22:39It's really good to turn on.
22:40- Are you sure? - Yeah, it is.
22:42Feel the floor.
22:43Do a little coupé turn.
22:44I can't.
22:45Do a little coupé turn, right here.
22:47ANNOUNCER: Moving in to act number 21,
22:48this is a Junior Lyrical Solo.
22:50Please put your hands together for Maddie performing
22:52"I'm On My Way."
22:54[cheering and applause]
22:59[music playing]
23:13(SINGING) I'm on my way.
23:16I've said goodbye.
23:21A one-way ticket on an empty ride.
23:27I'm on my way to the other side.
23:35It's time for me to leave it all behind.
23:42Sometimes I wonder why I want to be with you Over and over.
23:58[cheering and applause]
24:02ANNOUNCER: That was number 21, "I'm On My Way."
24:06Maddie has a way with her emotions.
24:08When she's on that stage, she owns it.
24:11ANNOUNCER: Next to the stage is act number 39.
24:13This is a Junior Contemporary Solo.

24:42The way you move, the way you move, just what you're doing--
24:48I can't get enough of what you do.
24:54'Cause my obsession is you.
25:12[cheering and applause]
25:16CHRISTI: I think Chloe was brilliant in her solo.
25:18She danced very well, and she is a force to be reckoned with.
25:22Congratulations!
25:23No one's stopping by?
25:24[laughter]
25:25No.
25:26You already got a hug.
25:27Congratulations.
25:34[cheering and applause]
25:38Vivi-- Vivi's not going to breathe on anybody.
25:40I made it.
25:41Anthony giving everybody a little Cathy?
25:43WOMAN: Uh-huh.
25:44No.
25:44He was actually nice.
25:46Just kidding!
25:47Yeah, just kidding.
25:48Let's-- [laughter]
25:49Yeah.
25:50Well, Zack, here's your chance.
25:52You're the Zack Attack.
25:54Here's your chance to put Maddie in her place.
25:56Let me tell you guys something.
25:58Abby is ferocious and you are awesome.
26:00Zack is going up against Chloe and Abby this week,
26:03and I think that Abby is going to need resuscitated
26:05after she sees Zack's solo.
26:07ANNOUNCER: All right.
26:08We're going to act number 33.
26:09This is a Junior Open Solo.
26:12Put your hands together for Zack performing "Resuscitate."
26:15[cheering and applause]
26:21[music playing]
26:28(SINGING) Hold on.
26:30It's getting bumpy.
26:33Lean on me if you need some comfort.
26:38I'm still here to hide all your fears.
26:43Oh, yeah.
26:57[cheering and applause]
27:00[music playing]
27:09[cheering and applause]
27:13ABBY LEE: Zack did well.
27:14I really didn't get the routine.
27:16I don't know if he was saving somebody's life
27:18or he decided that he was a doctor but he was dying, too.
27:24I don't know. ANNOUNCER: All right.
27:25We're good to go with act number 46.
27:27This is a Junior Open Duet.
27:29Please welcome "Illusions of the Dance."
27:31[cheering and applause]
27:36[music playing]
28:00[cheering and applause]
28:11[music playing]
28:23His legs are amazing.
28:26He's amazing.
28:36[cheering and applause]
28:41ANNOUNCER: And that was act number 46, "Illusion
28:44of the Dance."
28:47ABBY LEE: I don't think it really was a duet.
28:49It was really two solos, side by side.
28:52Clearly, that little head spinner
28:55is not on the same level as Nick.
28:57Nick should have been doing a solo.
28:59[music playing]
29:01CATHY: Hey.
29:01Nice job, Ab.
29:03Could be a big sweep this week.
29:06Did you bring your broom?
29:07Fly in on your broom?
29:10[cheering and applause]
29:15All right.
29:16We're playing the music.
29:17Run it in your head.
29:18Whoa.
29:19You OK?
29:21This is a really important number for me.
29:23And I want not only my kids to learn a lesson,
29:27but maybe to teach the people in the audience a lesson.
29:30I want you up so high on those feet.
29:32Yes!
29:33Big, dramatic boom!
29:34Bah!
29:35And I want to beat Cathy, too.
29:38And a number like this can do it.
29:40Hey.
29:41So we're getting makeup done.
29:43Oh, my gosh.
29:45Haunting.
29:46[laughs] Oh, Brandon!
29:48Oh, my goodness!
29:50I think that this number has the total package.
29:53We've got fabulous costumes that Anthony has went all out on.
29:57I think that the choreography is fresh.
30:00Oh, my gosh!
30:01She looks like a KISS girl!
30:03[laughter]
30:04Oh, my gosh.
30:05MAN: Gina Simmons!
30:05That is awesome.
30:07Yup, it's brilliant.
30:08ANTHONY: Now let's run this number.
30:09Come on.
30:10Let's run-- let's run it, real fast.
30:12Stronger, guys.
30:14Watch that curtain, that you don't fall.
30:16I definitely think that we stand a huge chance
30:19to beat Abby Lee Dance Company.
30:21All right, guys, we got to go.
30:22We got to go.
30:23We're good. We're good.
30:24Hey.
30:25Let's get in one more pep talk, guys.
30:26Come on.
30:27Hey, hey, hey, come on. CATHY: You're good.
30:28Got to do this.
30:29ABBY LEE: Girls, "The Last Text"--
30:31everybody got chills.
30:33When we heard the crash, we knew we had a winner on our hands.
30:36The schools talked to you about it.
30:38"Runaways"-- yes?
30:41You all are aware of this.
30:43Let's make them all aware.
30:45A teacher's success is based solely
30:48on the success of her students.
30:52Cathy doesn't have any success.
30:54ANNOUNCER: Next to the stage is act number 51.
30:55This is a Junior Open Small Group.
30:57Put your hands together for "Dia de los Muertos."
31:00[applause]
31:13[somber music]
32:08[cheering and applause]
32:13ANNOUNCER: And that was number 51, "Dia de los Muertos."
32:17MELISSA: I'm so nervous about the group dance.
32:19The girls have a ton of pressure because Cathy and her boys
32:22are here.
32:24The group dance is the most important thing,
32:26and this has to go well.
32:28ANNOUNCER: All right.
32:29Next to the stage is act number 50.
32:38All right.
32:39Next to the stage is act number 50.
32:42This is a Junior Open Small Group.
32:43Put your hands together for act number 50.
32:45[cheering and applause]
32:55[music playing]
33:15What did you say?
33:16The kid in the red--
33:17red pants did know what they were doing?
33:20CATHY: I wasn't-- no, that's Paige.
33:22Paige generally doesn't know what she's doing.
33:25MELISSA: I'm watching the number,
33:27and Anthony and Cathy are talking bad about Paige.
33:31I mean, loud.
33:33I could hear it, and it was really ticking me off.
33:36It's obvious you put your best dancer out in front.
33:39So you watch the back line.
33:57[cheering and applause]
34:06[chatter]
34:11ABBY LEE: I summoned Paige down off the stage.
34:20I thought that if Paige stood up to them and looked at this man
34:23and said, "If you have something to say, say it to my face,"
34:27that he would rationally, as a grown adult, say,
34:30"Oh, honey, I'm sorry.
34:31I won't say anything else."
34:33I really did.
34:34But it didn't look like it.
34:35I guess because you were close to the wing,
34:37it looked like you were, you know, about to hit the wing.
34:39So it showed on your face.
34:40And, I mean-- ABBY LEE: Uh-uh.
34:42Uh-uh.
34:43KELLY: You're not her dance teacher,
34:44so don't give her critiques.
34:44ANTHONY: I'm not her dance teacher.
34:45That's why I didn't give her any.
34:47Leave her alone. CATHY: But you know what?
34:48Paige, please go up on the thing.
34:48ABBY LEE: Yeah, but you haven't--
34:49He's rude.
34:50ABBY LEE: You've been ripping on her since you sat down.
34:51So what?
34:52CATHY: But he was talking to me, not you.
34:53- Don't rip on my daughter. - I'm giving her critiques.
34:54She's 11 years old. ANTHONY: I'm not.
34:55She does it enough.
34:56She does it enough.
34:57Yeah, well, I pay her for her critiquing--
34:57ANTHONY: Good. Good.
34:58And you should-- - --not you.
34:59Maybe you should get a refund.
35:01Maybe you should get a refund because those knees were bent
35:01and she missed many a steps.
35:02Yeah?
35:03Well, at least my daughter can get out there and dance.
35:04Your daughter can't.
35:05She's sick every week.
35:06PAIGE: I didn't really care that he was giving me corrections
35:09because I like getting crutches from other people
35:11because it makes you a better dancer.
35:13I just didn't like that he did it
35:14in front of the whole audience because it kind of got
35:16me embarrassed.
35:18It's was only the truth, Abby.
35:19That's all I was-- you know, I'm not--
35:20I'm not saying and it's not nothing against you.
35:22You know what?
35:23Let's call Katy Perry and see what she has to say about you.
35:25I quit. That's what happened.
35:26- [laughs] - I quit.
35:27Yeah, or got fired. Figure it out.
35:28Never. CATHY: Oh, right.
35:29ANTHONY: I've never, ever got-- never, ever
35:30got fired from a job.
35:31Check my resume, boo.
35:32That's why I continue to work.
35:34I continue to work.
35:36KELLY: Cathy, you talk about kids.
35:38We never talk mean about your kids, ever.
35:40WOMAN: You talked about Vivi.
35:41You guys critiqued the whole thing.
35:42Because she said something about my kid.
35:44Was sitting there talking about Vivi-Anne?
35:46No, I wasn't.
35:47No, she didn't-- no one said anything about your kid.
35:48Abby called her off the stage.
35:49Because you're talking about her.
35:51I wasn't talking about her. I was--
35:52Yes, you were.
35:53I said she was lurking on the fence, which is true.
35:55She was lurking.
35:56All right, look--
35:58this is a dance competition. .
35:59This is my livelihood you either need to leave the premises
36:03or you need to act like a lady and a gentleman.
36:05I've had it. Enough!
36:06[applause]
36:07You know what then, Abby?
36:08What are you talking about?
36:09MELISSA: When you mess with one of our team members,
36:12it really makes me angry.
36:13We protect one another.
36:15And I'm telling you, she's sticking up for Paige.
36:17All right.
36:19Ladies and gentlemen, I think we're ready to begin awards.
36:20[cheering and applause]
36:21In the Mini Solo Division of competition,
36:24in third place in Miss Allison with act number 12,

36:51Choice Award.
36:53So, moms, I know you don't want us here.
36:55You say that Asia is this and Asia is that.
36:57But right now we're leaving New York and we're winners.
37:02All right.
37:03We're moving into our Elite Junior Solo
37:05Division of competition.
37:06Ladies and gentlemen, there was a tie for second place.

37:20[cheering and applause]
37:23And your first runner up, with the same scored of 278.6
37:28but a higher technique score goes to Mr. Zack with act
37:31number 33, "Resuscitate."
37:32[cheering and applause]
37:36ABBY LEE: So we have a tie, but they give Chloe third and Zack
37:38second.
37:39They use the technical score to break the tie.
37:44So showmanship, choreography, presentation, technique.
37:50Come on, Chloe, what about your technique?
37:52ANNOUNCER: And your highest scoring
37:54Elite Junior Soloist with a score of 281.6 points

39:04Goodness prevails.
39:06ABBY LEE: It kills me that Cathy beat me.
39:09But I have to put it all into perspective.
39:11Cathy didn't beat me.
39:12One little girl that she stole, three boys
39:15from around the country and a guest choreographer beat me.
39:19That, I could handle.
39:20I thought the group dance was good.
39:24I-- I really did.
39:25I just wish we wouldn't have screamed and yelled at the end.
39:27I regret that.
39:28Do you think everybody was together in the group dance?
39:30No. I thought Asia was a hot mess.
39:31She was ridiculous.
39:33Choreography is here.
39:35When it moves this way, whoever is on this end
39:38ends up in the middle.
39:39KRISTIE: Well, Abby--
39:40Asia was in the wings, .
39:41On the right Asia ruined the group dance.
39:46However, I don't know where those judges were looking,
39:48and I don't know what they saw.
39:52CATHY: Hey, Ab, how you doing?
39:54Big one for the Apples this week, huh?
39:57Get ready.
39:58Guess what, Abby?
40:00Everybody knows who Candy Apples is.
40:02And you know what?
40:03You're going to go down every week.
40:05Because you know why?
40:06You're not only rude to people, you're rude to children.
40:11You did that to poor Paige.
40:13Don't put your hands on your waist at me and look pitiful.
40:15You set that up.
40:16You're rude and you're going down.
40:19Nobody cares about Abby Lee anymore.
40:21[cheering and applause]
40:23BOY: Apple Core!
40:24Apple Core!
40:25Apple Core!
40:27ABBY LEE: Cathy was victorious this time, I'll give her that.
40:29But it didn't have anything to do with her skills.
40:32Cathy had nothing to do with that number.
40:36Cathy, it's not going to happen again.
40:39I just did want to say one thing.
40:41I want you all to know--
40:42I don't want you to hear rumors and blah, blah, blah.
40:45But I am looking for property in LA.
40:49I'll be doing that next week.
40:50MELISSA: What-- for-- to buy a studio?
40:52Yes.
40:53Does that mean you're moving?
40:58ABBY LEE (VOICEOVER): Next on "Dance Moms"--
41:00ABBY LEE: Brooke, these people are
41:02serious about their dancing.
41:03Don't be the weakest link.
41:04You're full of [bleep],, Kelly, and you know it.
41:06KELLY: Oh, well, maybe you should get [bleep]..
41:08[bleep] you, Kelly.
41:09[bleep] you.
41:11ABBY LEE: You're skinny, you're blonde, you're pretty.
41:13You're telling me nobody at school hates you?
41:16Wake up.
41:17MAN: You don't have to baby these boys.
41:18A little physical exercise don't hurt them at all.
41:21- I'm taking care-- - Come here.
41:21Come here. Come here.
41:22Don't-- don't--
41:24Shut up!
41:25What the [bleep] does it have to do with Jill?
