0:01ABBY LEE (VOICEOVER): Previously on "Dance Moms"--
0:03I am holding open auditions in three major cities.
0:05And you can bet I'm gonna find some talent.
0:07LESLIE: Are you ladies worried about her replacing her kids?
0:10We are here to win at nationals.
0:13The Wicked Witch of the West is here.
0:15ANNOUNCER: Kendall, with act number 37.
0:16[cheering and applause]
0:18ABBY LEE: Kendall, nipping at Maddie's heels.
0:22[cheering and applause]
0:24You all know who's in Ohio next week has me a little bit
0:28worried.
0:30ABBY LEE (VOICEOVER): Coming up on "Dance Moms"--
0:31ABBY LEE: We will be attending the Believe talent competition
0:34in Columbus, Ohio.
0:36You know who's gonna be in Ohio.
0:38Kendall, Chloe, I'm trying to figure out who's
0:41gonna be my number one star.
0:43We cannot walk in there again mediocre.
0:46I don't need any brats on this team.
0:49LUCAS: Who are we? - Apple core!
0:50Apple core!
0:51Apple core!
0:52Woo!
0:53You were wrong, Abby.
0:54That is not your place.
0:56Pay your bill for the rest of the year and go!
0:59THEME SONG: Get up.
1:00Get on the floor.
1:02My world is with my girls, living on the dance floor.
1:08Living on the dance floor.
1:14Living on the dance floor.
1:19[music playing]
1:24Come on, girls, let's go!
1:26Move it. Move it.
1:27Move it.
1:30Mosey on in here, kind of like you walked out on stage.
1:36One day national champions, the next day third place.
1:42Last week was a disaster.
1:44ANNOUNCER: In third place and our Pre-teen Group division,
1:47"Girls Night Out."
1:48[cheering and applause]
1:52I told everyone last week that I was thinking of replacing
1:55some members on this team.
1:57And after that third place victory,
1:58I might just have to replace the whole team.
2:01We cannot walk in there again mediocre.
2:04We've got a big competition this week.
2:06Those girls are not going to go out on that stage
2:09and embarrass me.
2:10It's first place or nothing this week.
2:13All right.
2:15We will be attending the Believe talent competition in Columbus,
2:19Ohio.
2:20Now, you know who's going to be in Ohio.
2:23JILL: Cathy, no one wants you here.
2:25Shut your mouth.
2:26JILL: Shut your mouth.
2:27Woo!
2:28Don't say anything--
2:29MAN: Cathy, let's go outside.
2:30JILL: --about my child!
2:33CHRISTI: Oh, goody.
2:34We're gonna see Cathy this weekend.
2:36And that just means that Abby's level of crazy
2:38is gonna go from here to here.
2:40And now that Abby is having these whole open calls, that
2:43means if our kids lose to Candy Apples,
2:45they're next on the chopping block for Abby to replace them.
2:48I bet Cathy's team is a better team.
2:52I'm sure she's been working on this number for weeks.
2:55And if you guys go out and dance like you did last weekend,
2:58she's going to win.
3:00I'm not so sure we're ready to take on Cathy's team.
3:04I am not as confident as I should be, let's just say that.
3:08All right.
3:09Let's get started with the pyramid.
3:10Of course, Payton.
3:13For your behavior to be so ugly over your hair--
3:20You can't put it right there.
3:21Why?
3:22It doesn't go in.
3:23LESLIE: It's gonna have to go in, honey.
3:25If you let me hurt you, it'll go in.
3:27I don't care if you're happy, or sad, or you're in pain.
3:29I don't care.
3:30You go to that competition and are representing me.
3:34Payton isn't safe on this team.
3:36I need her to be a role model for the other girls, not
3:39a liability.
3:44And next, Brooke.
3:47You missed a whole four counts on the floor.
3:49[music playing]
3:54You just rolled over right in front of the judges.
3:57And next, Nia.
4:00Good week, beautiful costume, pretty girl, did a nice job.
4:05But do you perform the choreography?
4:08Do you go out on stage like it's the last time you're ever
4:12gonna be on stage?
4:14No, I don't think so.
4:20Mackenzie, lots of fooling around in the dressing room,
4:23in everybody's way.
4:25We need to work on that.
4:27Understand?
4:30Next I have Paige.
4:33Paige, you were part of the high score winning trio.
4:39Could you have done a better job?
4:41Certainly.
4:43Next we have Kendall.
4:46It was good.
4:47Same thing as Paige-- could have been better.
4:49Could have been outstanding.
4:53And next we have Chloe.
4:56Chloe, you have the dancer's body.
4:59You have the look.
5:00Your technique shines through.
5:04You can nail it, no matter what.
5:07CHRISTI: I'm actually pleasantly surprised at Chloe's spot
5:09on the pyramid.
5:10I mean, last week she was at the very bottom
5:11and this week she's number two.
5:13That's not a bad week.
5:15And on top of the pyramid, the overall high score winning
5:19routine of the day is Maddie.
5:22[music playing]
5:27[cheering and applause]
5:31I told every single one of you over the break
5:35that this is not going to be another year of Maddie working
5:42her butt off and you all sitting around.
5:46Kendall, Chloe, you both have solos this week.
5:50We're gonna see who my number two girl is.
5:53I know who my number one girl is, but who's right behind her?
5:57I am sick and tired of everybody else slacking off and letting
6:01Maddie carry these numbers.
6:03It's not gonna happen anymore.
6:05No solo for Maddie this week.
6:07Chloe, Kendall, it will be the battle of the pop stars.
6:12Chloe, your routine is inspired by Katy Perry.
6:16CHRISTI: Your favorite.
6:17And, Kendall, you're going to be an extreme individual
6:21like Lady Gaga.
6:22JILL: Good.
6:23Good.
6:25Kendall has beaten Chloe in the past.
6:27She can beat her again.
6:28You need healthy competition.
6:30I'm all for it.
6:33Everyone will be in the group routine.
6:35The routine is called "Just Another Number."
6:38Each one of you are just another number, easily replaceable.
6:46Moms, you are dismissed.
6:49Girls, spread apart.
6:51Let's start warming up.
6:52Grand Plié in second. JILL: Look around.
6:54They're starting right away.
6:55Oh, my god.
6:56[chatter]
6:58Yeah.
6:58No wonder you're-- I was like--
6:59Wow.
7:005, 6, 7, go.
7:03(SINGING) What's wrong with me, that I keep coming back--
7:10ABBY LEE: The group routine is entitled "Just Another Number."
7:13I'm trying to teach the children, if they were clones--
7:17if everybody did what Maddie did,
7:19then the routine would be perfection.
7:22I'm looking for a whole team full of Maddies.
7:25I want incredible dancers that are on the same beat
7:28at the same exact moment.
7:30That precision is what I'm going to be looking
7:32for at my open auditions next week.
7:352, and 3, and 4, and 5, 6--
7:42I think this dance is like, you're just a number.
7:44CHRISTI: Yeah.
7:45HOLLY: Once again, you're dancing to the theme
7:46that you can all be replaced.
7:48Like, that you're not special, you're just another.
7:50You're just a number.
7:51I disagree with that philosophy.
7:53These girls have heard it every single competition season.
7:57Payton, when you lunge to the ground,
7:59your foot's like a club over here.
8:01Payton's height, her size, the maturity and her dancing
8:05is ruining this piece.
8:07I'm trying to send a message that they're clones.
8:10And the first people I replace are
8:12gonna be the people that stand out like sore thumbs.
8:15OK.
8:17I really, really want to beat Cathy this weekend.
8:21A third place when it's not gonna be acceptable.
8:23No.
8:24HOLLY: And I think they'll be hungry for it.
8:25Because I think the loss at nationals
8:28was humbling for them.
8:29I think they really thought they had won.
8:30JILL: Oh, they've been hungry for us.
8:32I honestly think that this is going to be a really tough one.
8:35[music playing]
8:42CATHY: Let's get busy.
8:42Ready and-- 5, 6, 7, go.
8:451, 2--
8:47We are back in the studio working it out.
8:49It feels good.
8:50I feel like we actually established ourselves
8:54at nationals the talent has just escalated from bringing Blake
8:57in.
8:59And I think that we have all the right pieces now.
9:01And we've been nipping at Abby's heels
9:03for so long, I'm expecting win after win after win this year.
9:07Let's talk about the group dance.
9:10We're gonna do a lyrical number.
9:12And it's going to be a beautiful lyrical number, because we're
9:14gonna beat Abby at her own game.
9:16She thinks that she's the queen of lyrical
9:18and we are going to show her that she isn't, that she's just
9:21the jester of lyrical.
9:23Abby's stuff is the same six steps over and over
9:25and over again.
9:26We need to do a clean lyrical piece.
9:30That's how she wins, and that's what we are presenting.
9:33I've done a lot of thinking about the solo.
9:36Nicaya, you are really improving by leaps and bounds.
9:43But I want to win this week.
9:45So, Lucas, you have a solo.
9:51Yay!
9:53Well, first I don't appreciate Cathy fluffing me
9:56and Nicaya's head up with all of that,
9:58"This week we thought about you.
10:00You were seriously considered for a solo."
10:02I knew there was a big but coming-- a but bigger
10:04than Abby's butt.
10:07I don't know whose idea that was, but I really believe--
10:10of course it was yours.
10:11Of course it was yours.
10:12I believe it was yours.
10:14I knew Lucas was gonna get it.
10:15But I respect Brigette.
10:16She got her son a solo by partying with Blake
10:19ever since nationals, and it worked in her favor.
10:22So round of applause for her.
10:24Sorry.
10:25CATHY: You are all big-- BRIGETTE: Deal with it.
10:26You are all--
10:27KAYA: I don't have to.
10:28You are all big girls.
10:29BRIGETTE: Apparently, it really bothers you.
10:30So I'm gonna let you work this out on your own.
10:33But I have one thing to say that's very, very pivotal.
10:37What Blake does on his own time is Blake's business.
10:41Blake comes with a huge resume.
10:44I mean, he's phenomenal.
10:45Everybody in the dance world knows who Blake McGrath is.
10:48So, you know, I think that he could
10:51be the one that helps us accomplish what we're looking
10:55out to do. - Fine.
10:55I hope he wins it this week.
10:57He better win it.
10:58Because I'm gonna drive her if he does not.
10:59When it was anybody else it's like, OK, they did their best.
11:02Oh, my god.
11:03He better win it.
11:07[music playing]
11:13ABBY LEE: 1, 2, and 3.
11:16You got to step up with them on three.
11:18So, Jill, you weren't all that surprised
11:21that Kendall got a solo.
11:23Where are you going with this, 'cause she had a private
11:24on Sunday when we came home?
11:26And you started learning it?
11:27Mm-hmm.
11:28Well, I didn't know when.
11:29But, yeah, she had half an hour with Gianna.
11:32Rumor has it that Kendall had a private two days ago.
11:34And it just so happens that the solo that she has now
11:37is the same dance that she was working on in the private.
11:40Maddie's learned stuff all year, and then--
11:41Yeah.
11:42And you complain about it.
11:43No, no.
11:44Well, right.
11:45But my point is, I didn't know her solo would be this week.
11:49I don't care what you say.
11:51Until all the kids have the same number of privates,
11:53it's not an even playing field.
11:54Jill is just the kind of person who will make sure that Kendall
11:57does anything to win.
11:59But you still knew--
12:00All she did was she had a half--
12:01I knew she had a half hour private.
12:02You still knew she was learning a solo early--
12:04JILL: Yes.
12:05--before pyramid, before any of her solo was--
12:07Two days ago.
12:08Yeah.
12:09OK, well, that's two extra days.
12:10And that's a half an hour more than Chloe got.
12:13Christi is all over me right now because Kendall had a half
12:16hour private to learn her solo and Chloe didn't.
12:20I'm not gonna sit around all week and listen to her bitch
12:22and moan about it.
12:23That's her problem, not mine.
12:25You know what?
12:26I don't want to sit here and listen to this.
12:27I'm leaving.
12:29I'm going down to get privates, Christi, in case
12:31you're wondering.
12:39[music playing]
12:40ABBY LEE: All right, listen to me.
12:42It's the battle of the pop stars.
12:44Girls, pop stars are always trying
12:46to be number one on the charts, number one on the radio, number
12:49one video out there.
12:50That's what it's all about.
12:52So I'm trying to figure out who's
12:53gonna be my number one star.
12:58Or should I say number two?
13:01Kendall and Chloe are battling for the number two position
13:04on this team.
13:05Maddie is the number one girl.
13:07I mean, she's proved herself time and time again.
13:10And with my open calls coming up, maybe that number two spot
13:14isn't good enough.
13:15[music playing]
13:19Chloe's solo this week is "To Hear Me Roar."
13:21it's a jazz number inspired by Katy Perry.
13:25Now, Katy Perry is a confident young woman.
13:29She gets out on stage and she entertains that audience.
13:32She puts on a whole spectacular show.
13:36Can Chloe do that?
13:37Watch your arms.
13:38They're goofy.
13:39Sauté.
13:40Run, run.
13:42CHRISTI: Chloe has not had a solo in a really long time,
13:45because she didn't get to dance at nationals.
13:47So this is her opportunity to prove not only to Abby,
13:50but to everyone, that she is irreplaceable on this team.
13:53And the only way that she can do that is by beating Kendall.
13:56I think healthy competition can be good for the kids.
13:59They know one is gonna come in ahead of the other.
14:04[music playing]
14:08ABBY LEE: Kendall's routine is "Demand Applause," influenced
14:10by none other than Lady Gaga.
14:13She writes her songs about her joy, her victory, her defeat.
14:17Kendall doesn't do that.
14:19Kendall just tries to nail all the steps.
14:21She forgets about all this.
14:23(SINGING) I'm getting ready and the stage is all set.
14:27My nerves are steady but I'm ready to sweat.
14:30ABBY LEE: Make it count!
14:31(SINGING) I'm gonna shine, entertain you all night.
14:34Cross your thighs!
14:35Thighs!
14:361, 2, 3, 4.
14:39CHRISTI: I'm not gonna take anything away from Kendall.
14:41I think she's a fabulous dancer.
14:43But wasn't it Chloe and Maddie for years?
14:45Why all of a sudden is Chloe sort of by the wayside,
14:47fighting for number two?
14:49(SINGING) So raise your hands 'cause
14:50I want you to reach for me.
14:52And raise your voice 'cause I want you to scream.
14:55So raise your hands 'cause I want you to reach for me.
14:58I don't know, Jill.
15:00That's pretty clean for you only having 30 minutes on that.
15:03I don't know what you want me to say.
15:06I really need her to be her best this weekend.
15:10[music playing]
15:16BLAKE: 5, 6, 7, 8.
15:18And sha, an ha, and boom, and boom, and ha, sha.
15:22This week we're going up against Abby.
15:24She does the same tired lyrical number week after week
15:28after week.
15:29So we're going to beat her at her own game.
15:30We're going to do a lyrical number also,
15:32but ours will be amazing.
15:34Tap, tap, tap, tap.
15:35Up and sha.
15:37Pop, roll, and sha.
15:43KAYA: I do think that Blake is over-choreographing.
15:45This is what happened with nationals.
15:47He over-choreographed up until the last minute and we lost.
15:51I kind of think that's the path we're going down this week.
15:54Maybe this is a little too much choreography,
15:56like you're over-choreographing.
15:57We have two days.
15:59I don't want it to be dumbed all the way down.
16:01But I think maybe it's a little too much.
16:03How come nobody will back me up? - OK.
16:05But you know what?
16:06We are totally wasting time right now.
16:07So let's get back to business.
16:08Right.
16:09CATHY: This piece is difficult. Yes.
16:10Is it challenging for the kids?
16:12Yes.
16:13But it's going to be amazing.
16:14She just needs to simmer down and let Blake and me work.
16:17I love you, but we need to get busy.
16:22Go.
16:27[music playing]
16:29ABBY LEE: All right, let's go.
16:305, 6, 7, 8.
16:321, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.
16:37There's something to be said for clones.
16:39But, like, when you look at the heart of the matter,
16:42it's not something real.
16:43CHRISTI: I don't want to see the same kids.
16:44HOLLY: It's, like, something artificial.
16:45JILL: Sure.
16:46It's not something that's authentic.
16:48You've manufactured something that--
16:51it kind of loses its heart and soul.
16:52LESLIE: Yeah.
16:53MELISSA: There's never two people alike.
16:55JILL: Exactly. - Like, I have three children.
16:56LESLIE: Even twins.
16:57They all came from the same sperm and the same egg.
16:59And guess what?
17:00They are all--
17:01CHRISTI: I can't believe you knew that much.
17:01--completely different.
17:03But, listen, you guys.
17:04In a group number they have to all be the same.
17:08They have to be-- they have to play the role.
17:10They have to act.
17:11This out and be clones.
17:13I'm just a little concerned about Payton even
17:16being in this number.
17:19'Cause the same thing as coming into play that happened when
17:22she first auditioned for this group.
17:24She doesn't look like a clone of the rest of them.
17:27I mean, like, Chloe and Paige could be clones.
17:32I don't know if you're working in this piece.
17:34LESLIE: See, now look.
17:36Abby just tells my Payton--
17:37now, we all just saw them rehearse the number--
17:40that she doesn't think she's working in this piece.
17:44There's a crossing the line of being hurtful and personal.
17:50I agree with that.
17:51And I think you just-- when that happens,
17:53you have to establish where that line is for you and your family
17:56and for Payton.
17:57And when Abby crosses that line you have to speak up.
18:01And you got to figure out which time you're gonna speak up
18:03'cause, you know, you can be speaking up
18:05every day or every minute.
18:06Oh, I will speak up.
18:07I'm just not gonna do it during the middle of the group number.
18:09OK, girls, you have two more days
18:11and then you are on a bus going down the yellow brick road.
18:15Then you're going to meet the Wicked Witch along the way.
18:25[music playing]
18:28BLAKE: Wait here.
18:29Give me a hands more.
18:30Uh-huh.
18:316, 7, and--
18:33Lucas's solo is a beautiful Spanish piece of music.
18:36I think Lucas has improved over the break.
18:39He works very well with Blake.
18:41And not only that-- he's hungry to win.
18:46I think that he is our best chance at taking Abby
18:49and her girls down.
18:57[music playing]
19:06[cheering]
19:08Cathy!
19:09Cathy!
19:10Cathy!
19:11Cathy!
19:12Cathy!
19:13CATHY: I couldn't feel more confident stepping off
19:15of this bus.
19:16We have home field advantage, our kids are amazing,
19:19and our team is flawless.
19:21Abby is going to go blind from the way that we shine.
19:24[screaming]
19:32Good luck today.
19:33Thank you.
19:36Today we're attending the Believe competition
19:39in Columbus, Ohio.
19:41And Cathy and her rotten crab apples are already here.
19:45I don't have time to exchange pleasantries with her.
19:48I have a competition to win.
19:50[music playing]
19:57Today is a really important day for us.
19:59Chloe and Kendall are battling, you
20:01know, for the number two spot.
20:02We're going up against Cathy and her Candy Apples.
20:05And you have the whole open audition thing
20:07looming over our heads.
20:08All of that together is, like, a perfect storm.
20:11ABBY LEE: All right, Chloe, let's go!
20:14Whoa.
20:16Oh, you look cute.
20:18I like the feathers.
20:19JILL: This is Chloe's first solo in a really long time.
20:22She didn't have a chance to dance at nationals.
20:24And I can see that she's really nervous
20:26and she's working herself up.
20:35I'm telling her to stop freaking herself out,
20:38because she's over here like--
20:43Come here.
20:46Kendall.
20:48I don't need any brats on this team.
20:50It will not be tolerated.
20:51If you cry one tear, you are not doing the solo
20:56and Maddie will go out and improv.
20:58And watch who you're rolling your eyes at, kiddo.
21:00JILL: I think she's fighting back the tears.
21:02She was not rolling her eyes at you, Abby.
21:04She would not roll her eyes at you.
21:05What Kendall needs to do at this moment is focus.
21:08This is Kendall's chance to climb up the ranks
21:11and take that number two spot from Chloe.
21:13All right.
21:14Kendall, Chloe, who is going to reign supreme
21:19at the end of this competition?
21:22It better not be Lucas.
21:24Ooh, that was nice and sharp.
21:25More hips on that.
21:27Lucas, lots of hips.
21:29Lucas is up soon.
21:31And he's relaxed, he's loose, he's warm, he's ready to go.
21:35Blake has instilled a great confidence in him
21:38that he didn't have last season.
21:40I think he's practically a reborn dancer,
21:42ready to conquer.
21:43All right, guys, I think it's who does the chant.
21:46LUCAS: OK.
21:50Who are we?
21:51Come on, Black Patsy, jump in.
21:53The solo should have gone to Nicaya in the first place.
21:56But since it did not and it went to Lucas,
21:58I kind of want the kid to lose just to shut Brigette up.
22:01- Who are we? - Apple core!
22:02Apple core!
22:03Apple core!
22:05[cheering]
22:07[music playing]
22:09I'm sorry.
22:11Let her sit in front of the B team, 'cause we're here now.
22:12Go right ahead. Go right ahead.
22:13You mean the blondes?
22:14[laughs]
22:15No, I mean the B team.
22:17[suspenseful music]
22:23ANNOUNCER: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome in our Dance
22:26Solo division, Lucas.
22:28[spanish]
22:30[cheering and applause]
22:33[music playing]
22:47[singing in spanish]
23:18[cheering and applause]
23:25CATHY: Lucas did a great job.
23:26Anybody that is going to be following Lucas
23:29definitely needs to step up to the plate
23:32and not have any flaws in their routine.
23:41JILL: I'm looking at the program and it says that Kendall
23:44is scheduled to go last.
23:46Christi looks over at me and says Chloe's going last.
23:49So I don't know what's going on backstage.
23:52All I know is that Kendall needs to get on that stage
23:55and bring it.
23:56ANNOUNCER: All right, ladies and gentlemen, continuing on here.
23:59This will be Kendall.
24:00[cheering and applause]
24:05[music playing]
24:19(SINGING) I'm getting ready and the stage is all set.
24:24My nerves are steady but I'm ready to sweat.
24:27I'm going to shine, entertain you all night.
24:30The world is mine and I'm burning so bright.
24:34Tell me you're ready for me.
24:37Tell me you want to believe.
24:40Give me the love that I need.
24:44Give me a reason to breathe.
24:47So raise your hands 'cause I want you to reach for me.
24:51And raise your voice 'cause I want you to scream.
24:54So raise your hands 'cause I want you to reach for me.
24:58And raise your voice 'cause I want you to scream.
25:011,000 people screaming, waiting for me.
25:05I'm feeling love from everyone that I see.
25:08The lights are on and I can finally
25:10be free to show the world why everybody loves me.
25:15[cheering and applause]
25:22CHRISTI: Kendall stumbles on a turn
25:24during her opening turn sequence,
25:25and that might be just the opening Chloe needs
25:28to calm herself down.
25:49ABBY LEE: I'm sitting in front of my enemy.
25:51And here goes Leslie just running her mouth,
25:55and then giving me lip in front of all these people
25:58like she's some big dance expert.
26:01Leslie, you're not gonna make me look bad.
26:10[suspenseful music]
26:13ANNOUNCER: Please welcome to the Believe stage entry number
26:1511, Chloe, with "Hear Me Roar."
26:18Entry number 11.
26:24CHRISTI: This is a really important solo for Chloe.
26:26You know, she's, battling Kendall for the number two spot
26:29and she really needs to prove to Abby that she deserves her spot
26:33on this team.
26:36[music playing]
26:46(SINGING) No time for insanity.
26:49No time for the world to get you down.
26:52No time for a fantasy.
26:54Just time for your life to turn around.
26:57Just face your reality and know that your time is here and now.
27:02Just shoot for the galaxy.
27:05No turning back.
27:07I'm gonna stand up.
27:09I'm gonna push the rail.
27:13Never let 'em keep you down.
27:17So stand up.
27:19Stand up.
27:21Stand up.
27:22Stand up.
27:24Stand up.
27:28Stand up.
27:33Stand up.
27:34[cheering and applause]
27:39Good job.
27:40Good job.
27:41You, too.
27:43[suspenseful music]
27:47HOLLY: Hi, girls.
27:48Hello. Hello.
27:49Hello.
27:49How are you?
27:51Good job.
27:53Could have been better.
27:55You came out and looked stunning gorgeous and then choked
27:59on that first turn--
28:01fell backwards out of it.
28:03You watched her from the wings blow the first turn,
28:07and then you played it safe.
28:08Sometimes the competition emcee calls out the wrong order.
28:12Chloe got lucky and she used it to her advantage.
28:16Had she gone out there and nailed that turn,
28:19you would have been a mess going out there after her.
28:22Got it?
28:24Abby's right.
28:25If Kendall danced after Chloe, maybe we
28:28would be having a different conversation right now.
28:31CHRISTI: [gasps] wait.
28:32Everyone just listen.
28:33What?
28:34Shh.
28:35MELISSA: It's beautiful.
28:36Do you hear it?
28:37Zen.
28:38Oh, it's quiet.
28:39JILL: Silence.
28:40If I would have known all it takes to get Leslie out
28:42of a room is to tell her to shut up,
28:44I would have told her shut up a long time ago.
28:46[crying]
28:51I've been nothing but supportive and loyal to Abby.
28:54I've had her back from day one, and she disrespects me
28:57like this.
28:58Are you kidding me?
28:59All right, moms, I want you to get the hair done for the group
29:02number so the kids have time to practice in the hair.
29:10Doom, doom, wham.
29:12Doom, doom, wham.
29:13Is that supposed to be full out or is that a joke?
29:14Let it keep going.
29:16You're reaching out that much.
29:22We're doing a beautiful lyrical piece
29:24that Blake has put his heart and soul into,
29:27and gonna beat Abby at her own game, hopefully.
29:30ABBY LEE: Stay right with her.
29:35Faces mean there.
29:36It's like, industrial, like you're a factory.
29:39Payton, got it?
29:41MELISSA: I need to talk to Leslie, to calm her down.
29:44She needs to think about Payton.
29:45She can't act like this-- not when Abby is trying to replace
29:48all the kids from the team.
29:50Listen, let me just talk.
29:51OK.
29:52But, no, I don't want this.
29:53OK.
29:54I don't like this.
29:55- Do you think any of us do? - Nope.
29:56I don't like it. - She didn't cross the line.
29:57She was just-- that's Abby. - Nope.
29:58Not-- no. - You know--
30:00She's never talked to me like that in public and I--
30:02I won't-- are you kidding me? - Ignore her.
30:03Listen to me.
30:04If you want to sit-in an audience
30:06and let Abby Lee Miller tell you to shut up and remember where
30:08you came from, then you do that.
30:11As soon as I can get out of here, I'm gonna leave.
30:13What you need to do is not hurt your daughter.
30:15Don't hurt her, and let her go in there with all the girls
30:18getting ready and then you're making a scene.
30:21Leslie broke down last week and now she's
30:22crying in the hallway.
30:24Maybe the pressure is really getting to her
30:26that Payton might be replaced.
30:30Boom, sah, boom, boom, ha, sha, boom.
30:33Exactly.
30:34You dance like that, I'm gonna love sitting behind Abby.
30:38Because I want to see her head just start to bobble.
30:41[suspenseful music]
30:50LESLIE: Now, I'm really mad at Abby right now
30:52and I don't want to be here.
30:54But I'm here because I'm here for Payton.
30:57I'm gonna suck it up and I'm gonna bite my tongue.
30:59But after this group number, I am gonna
31:01give Abby a piece of my mind.
31:03ABBY LEE: All right, this is it!
31:05I don't want another third place.
31:07The girls need to show me that this routine is not just
31:11another number.
31:12It has to be amazing, spectacular, one of those
31:15routines that people talk about for the rest of the year.
31:18They have to be good enough to beat the Candy Apples.
31:21And, most importantly, they better
31:23prove to me they have what it takes to stay on this team.
31:26Because when your number's up, it's up.
31:29So go out there and impress these judges.
31:33Let's go.
31:35[music playing]
31:50ANNOUNCER: Put your hands together
31:51for "Just Another Number," number 36.
31:55[cheering and applause]
32:01[music playing]
32:10(SINGING) What is wrong with me that I keep coming back
32:22to this place I can't exist?
32:29I can barely tell.
33:02[cheering and applause]
33:08Look at my hair sticking up on my arms.
33:10You got goosebumps.
33:11I have goosebumps.
33:11That was a masterpiece.
33:13ANNOUNCER: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome number
33:1437, "I Believe."
33:17[cheering and applause]
33:19[music playing]
33:21(SINGING) The sun in my eyes--
33:25the morning is so frozen.
33:29I've never felt so alive.
33:33Are you ready for this moment?
33:39I want to fly.
33:43And now is the time for me to fly.
33:51Let the flames ignite.
33:55I believe.
34:03I believe.
34:12I believe.
34:18[cheering and applause]
34:21[suspenseful music]
34:24JILL: I hate to say it, but the Candy Apples group number
34:27was pretty good.
34:28Come awards time, they may give us a run for our money.
34:37[music playing]
34:39[cheering and applause]
34:58ANNOUNCER: All right, here we go.
35:01Overall 9 to 11 Solo Advanced category--
35:04JILL: I need for Kendall to place higher
35:06than Chloe and Lucas.
35:08I really want this for her.
35:10I need this for her.
35:12ANNOUNCER: Here we go, starting with fifth place
35:16will be entry number 12, "Demand Applause," with Kendall.
35:20[applause]
35:25JILL: Kendall's fifth-- not good enough.
35:28Not good enough for Kendall, not good enough for me,
35:30and really not good enough for Abby.
35:33This may be the end of Kendall's solos.
35:36ANNOUNCER: Fourth place regional champion, ladies and gentlemen,
35:38goes to entry number 13, Lucas.
35:41[cheering and applause]
35:47CATHY: Lucas came in fourth.
35:49Was he the best choice for a solo?
35:51I don't know.
35:52Maybe Black Patsy was right.
35:53ANNOUNCER: Third place regional champion will be entry number
35:579.
35:58[cheering and applause]
35:59Yeah.
36:00We knew that.
36:02ANNOUNCER: Your second place regional champion, Chloe.
36:07[cheering and applause]
36:11CHRISTI: Chloe beat Kendall today.
36:12You know, she did what Abby challenged her to do.
36:14She proved that she really is the number two
36:17dancer on this team, and I really
36:18hope that that's enough to keep her on this team.
36:21ANNOUNCER: All right.
36:22Now let's go to Overall 9 to 11 Small Group.
36:26Third place regional champion today, entry number 34,
36:31"Titanium."
36:32[cheering and applause]
36:36Now, once again in a very tight race for our Overall 9
36:40to 11 Small Group Advanced champions here
36:43at Believe-- ladies and gentlemen, your second place
36:46regional champion will be number 37, "I Believe."
36:52[applause]
36:56[music playing]
36:57And in a very tight race, ladies and gentlemen,
37:00your Overall 9 to 11 Small Group regional champion
37:04here at Believe will be "Just Another Number."
37:07[cheering and applause]
37:16ABBY LEE: Once again, we have beaten the Candy Apples.
37:19Thanks for another victory, Cathy.
37:21I appreciate it.
37:23Hi, guys!
37:24Yay!
37:26Hey, act proud!
37:27CATHY: Nice job, guys.
37:30Once again, ALDC wins.
37:32I hate to say that Black Patsy was right.
37:35Maybe the choreography was a little too intricate.
37:37I don't want to play Monday morning quarterback,
37:40but it certainly has me thinking.
37:41So, guys, there's a competition in two weeks in Roanoke.
37:46I guess I need to figure out who's
37:48coming, who's getting a solo if they come,
37:52and we'll go from there.
37:54[cheering]
37:56Woo-hoo!
38:00Good job.
38:00LESLIE: It was so good, girls.
38:02KELLY: Good job!
38:03So you beat them.
38:04You were number one.
38:06But let's face it, this was our second competition.
38:10It's the beginning of the season.
38:12You have a long road ahead of you,
38:14'cause I'm having open auditions.
38:17People will be vying for your spots on this team.
38:24Now, the girls can't get comfortable with this win.
38:27They need to keep working just as hard, because I'm
38:30going to go out there looking for new dancers
38:32to be on this team.
38:34Nobody's spot is safe.
38:36Now, Kendall, today was a disappointment.
38:39And I think you're disappointed in yourself.
38:42I've seen you dance better.
38:44JILL: Just because she didn't place higher than Chloe doesn't
38:47mean she's not as good as Chloe.
38:50Kendall has a lot more to give.
38:51And I hope Abby gives her those opportunities
38:53to prove that she can be right there, right behind Maddie.
38:57Chloe, you were supposed to dance first.
39:00I don't know what happened backstage,
39:02but you went after her.
39:03You learned from her mistake.
39:06But today that helped you out.
39:08You gave a nice, clean performance.
39:09You backed off the turns.
39:11You didn't go for broke.
39:12You played it safe, and that worked out in your favor today.
39:17So if Maddie has some opportunity,
39:18you're my number two girl to go to.
39:21CHRISTI: I'm happy for Chloe that she's reclaimed her spot
39:24as the number two dancer on the team.
39:26But I'm a dance mom, and I want more for her.
39:29I want Chloe to be number one.
39:31Now, Payton, I'm going to dismiss every-- no,
39:33I'm gonna say it in front of everyone.
39:35I have given you countless opportunities
39:38to be part of this team, but your mother's behavior today
39:43is unacceptable.
39:44And I don't want you to follow in her footsteps.
39:46Yeah, I didn't start trouble.
39:48I didn't start trouble.
39:49You told me to shut up in public.
39:51I'm supposed to take that.
39:53Abby got mad at me and disrespected me
39:55in front of everybody.
39:56And now she's gonna pick on Payton?
39:58No way, Abby.
39:59What more do you want from us?
40:01There comes a time when your kid has
40:04to stand on their own two feet and Mommy has to quit fighting.
40:07Leslie, stop fighting!
40:10I'm not the enemy!
40:12I'm your kid's best friend.
40:14It was ridiculous.
40:15I said maybe she fell out of her turns for her shoe,
40:17and you told me to shut up.
40:19ABBY LEE: Because that is not your place!
40:21You shut up. You shut up.
40:22That is not your place.
40:23You know what? Sometimes--
40:24No. No.
40:25ABBY LEE: --I have to speak in simple terms.
40:26You do not disrespect.
40:28Don't ever tell me to shut up again.
40:30You were wrong, Abby.
40:31You were wrong.
40:32ABBY LEE: This is a dance competition.
40:33LESLIE: Kiss my ass.
40:34I am a dance teacher.
40:35I have kissed your ass.
40:36I let you come back.
40:38LESLIE: I respected you and I-- and I stay at your studio
40:41because I liked you and I liked what you taught my daughters.
40:43I don't like this.
40:44I don't like you telling me to shut up.
40:46Leslie, just go ahead and leave.
40:48Nobody cares anymore.
40:49You just sealed your daughter's fate.
40:52Payton, it looks like you were just another number.
40:55[suspenseful music]
41:01ABBY LEE (VOICEOVER): Next on "Dance Moms"--
41:03I'm excited.
41:04This week I'm holding open auditions in Orlando, Florida.
41:08I'm looking for the next big thing.
41:11Chloe, you were supposed to dance first.
41:13Kendall went first.
41:15Chloe and Christi switched her order.
41:16I did not go backstage.
41:17It was sneaky and you know it.
41:19OK, Jill.
41:20[music playing]
41:21(SINGING) Never give up.
41:23You can go.
41:23You can go.
41:24You can dance next to Maddie.
41:27Payton just fell and she snapped her ankle.
41:29ABBY LEE: Take a breath. She's strong.
41:31She's really strong.
