0:01[Abby] Previously on Dance Moms...
0:02Unfortunately, Baby is really sick.
0:04She passed away.
0:05She kept me sane. She made everything okay.
0:09Maybe dedicate the dance to her?
0:11The girls would love that.
0:12Screwing with my choreography is very offensive.
0:16You had to expect that I would be here.
0:17This is my hometown.
0:19[host] Maddie's performance is dedicated to Broadway Baby.
0:22-Kendall sucks! -Shut up!
0:24-You shut up! -Stop!
0:26My God, Kelly, I need you.
0:28Give me a hug!
0:30[Abby] Coming up on Dance Moms...
0:32-It's speed dating! -[laughs]
0:34How you doing?
0:35Do you own your own tuxedo?
0:37I need somebody to rub my feet.
0:40The duet will be Kendall and Nia.
0:43-Where's Jill? -Having a private with Kendall.
0:47[Jill] I'm here to have my child dance.
0:49I don't feel like we're being a team.
0:50Jill will do anything to move Kendall up that spot.
0:53Do you want the mothers to not be upset with you
0:55or do you want your kid to get better?
0:58["Living on the Dance Floor" by Nikko Lowe]
1:00♪ Get up, get on the floor ♪
1:04♪ My world is with my girls ♪
1:07♪ Livin' on the dance floor ♪
1:10[uptempo music]
1:15Come on, girls! Let's go!
1:16Come on! Move it, move it, move it! Get in here.
1:19Well, congratulations. You won.
1:22Was it your best performance?
1:23Hmm... No.
1:25♪ See a million colors and you'll feel brand new ♪
1:29♪ It's a beautiful day ♪
1:31♪ It's a beautiful day ♪
1:35Didn't we win by seven points?
1:36I'm not gonna deny the fact that you won, that's great,
1:39but I don't think it was your best performance.
1:42The routine had mistakes.
1:44Chloe, why would you go out on stage
1:46and not do the correct choreography?
1:48♪ Look up at the sun Cause it's shining for you ♪
1:52Everybody else did the choreography I gave them.
1:56That's beginning to be a pattern with you, isn't it, Chloe?
1:58You're lucky you're even back in this dance studio.
2:01[Christi] I give Chloe a lot of credit
2:02for what she's putting up with from Abby.
2:04I mean, Abby is being really hard on her
2:06and she's taking it like a champ.
2:07I guess she really wants to be back on this pyramid.
2:10[tense music]
2:12On the bottom, Paige.
2:15You were good. I'm waiting for you to be great.
2:17Did you really use your face
2:20and get into every single one of those judge's hearts?
2:24No. You need to work on that.
2:26And next, Kendall. You didn't stick out to me.
2:30In your improv,
2:31it should've been , "Ooh, wow. Look at that. Who's that?"
2:34I didn't do that.
2:35Abby's heart was not in that group number.
2:38It wasn't a group number.
2:40She threw it together,
2:41the kids went out, and they improv'd.
2:43How can you watch a child and critique a child
2:47when, really, there was no choreography.
2:50I understand someone has to be on that bottom row
2:53but I didn't it should be Kendall.
2:55Next is Brooke.
2:57Brooke, you are 14 years old.
3:00When are we gonna see you stand out
3:02as the leader, as the "foreman" on the job,
3:07as the role model?
3:09Next... Nia.
3:12You're third on the pyramid.
3:13You were third overall high score.
3:16Third on the pyramid this week. I'm ecstatic.
3:19I'm really proud of my little girl.
3:21She's moving up there.
3:22And Mackenzie.
3:25Overall high score in the mini division.
3:28You did a great job.
3:29You went out there and you won.
3:31And on top of the pyramid,
3:33going three for three, once again,
3:38is Maddie.
3:39Maddie, not only did you win the high score solo
3:42in your age division,
3:44you were also the highest scoring solo
3:47in the entire competition.
3:53Now, Chloe, did you notice that you're not on the pyramid?
3:55-[dramatic music] -You're not in it.
3:58You're lucky to be here as it is.
3:59You can't go out on stage and do what you want.
4:01[Christi] Abby is being so hard on Chloe.
4:03And I know that this is what she does to dancers.
4:05She did it to Brooke and Kendall.
4:07But as a mom,
4:08it's really hard to watch Chloe go through this
4:10but I know it's what she wants
4:12and I know she has to go through it
4:13to get back on the pyramid.
4:14And therefore, I'm gonna be there for Chloe.
4:17This weekend we will be traveling
4:19to Bernardsville, New Jersey.
4:22So you're going to get kids with amazing technique
4:25and killer costumes.
4:26They're going to be strong competitors.
4:29Everyone will be in the group dance
4:32except Mackenzie.
4:33The music is entitled "Your Dream is My Dream."
4:38And it's big and it's grand
4:40and it's a beautiful piece of music.
4:42I'm going to be using a boy in the group.
4:46Mackenzie, you're not in the group dance.
4:48That means you're getting a solo.
4:50The name of your routine is "Love is War."
4:54Maddie, you're three for three.
4:57I wanna see if you can win again.
4:59Your solo is entitled "Lifeline."
5:03I have one more routine to give out this week.
5:05Hopefully, we're gonna have time to do a duet.
5:08And the duet will be Kendall and Nia.
5:12It's contemporary but it's cool.
5:15And the name of it is Dig It.
5:17[Holly] I hope this duet works out
5:19because the last time Nia had a duet,
5:21things did not go so well.
5:22You are a monstrosity of evil!
5:24You're done. You're done.
5:25-No duet. -Yes, you are.
5:27I'll show you evil.
5:30All right, you guys are dismissed. Thank you.
5:32Ladies, spread apart in the back.
5:36[Abby] Can I have my guest boy, please?
5:38-Hello. How are you? -Hi.
5:41-Good to see you. -[girls] Nick!
5:44[squealing]
5:45-Oh, it's Nick! -It's Nick.
5:48Yay! We like Nick.
5:49♪ You cried ♪
5:51♪ And I want to save you ♪
5:54Oh, there's a hug. Hubba-hubba.
5:57[laughter]
5:59So, you know you're the male lead in this.
6:02-Yeah. -Do you know the female lead?
6:04No.
6:06-Brooke? -Who do you want it to be?
6:07-[Nick] Is it Brooke? -[Abby] It's Brooke.
6:08So, if she doesn't bring it,
6:09-I'm picking somebody else. -All right.
6:11This week's routine
6:13is called "Your Dream Will Be My Dream."
6:16It is musical theater in nature
6:20but it's big and it's grandiose and it's beautiful.
6:23So you guys are doing datdatdat. You're walking,
6:26Now, Maddie, pretend, you're the one with the emotional face.
6:29So what I want you to do is pretend
6:32that this is your mother and she's dying.
6:35And you're walking...
6:37You're-- And he's carrying her, she's so sick.
6:39Now, he is secretly in love with Brooke
6:43and Brooke is dying.
6:47And in her final moment,
6:49she asks this young man
6:51to take care of her daughter.
6:53So now we have a love story,
6:55father and daughter,
6:57and we have the daughter loving her mother
7:00and we have everybody else on stage
7:02in love with this guy.
7:03So there's a whole lot going on in two minutes
7:07but I think I can do it.
7:10Brooke, you're on the inside of Maddie!
7:15Inside, Brooke!
7:17You know what's kinda sweet,
7:18like, everybody remembers their first love.
7:20-Like... -Really?
7:21Even if it ended up poorly,
7:23-everyone remembers-- -Mine was not a good memory.
7:25-And your other love is dead. -Yes.
7:28-And I have Randy. Lucky me. -Guess what, he loved you.
7:31Okay, even if it didn't end great,
7:33like if they're in jail or dead, Kelly...
7:36-[laughs] -But none of these girls
7:39have experienced that and some day they will
7:41and that's fun to go through that.
7:44Turn, turn, turn, turn, turn, turn, turn.
7:46Can you almost break
7:48and rond de jambe that around
7:51and then start your turn here?
7:53Who's Abby's first love?
7:54I don't think anybody has loved Abby back.
7:56Maybe that's what she needs.
7:58-Duh! -She needs more than that.
8:00That's what I said. I would love to do speed dating for her.
8:03Have her sit and have a line of men.
8:05Is there a curtain?
8:07[Kelly] I'm telling you one thing.
8:08You should tell her not to wear her Shamu outfit.
8:12I wanna do speed dating but I wanna be able to see.
8:15I want, like, 6'4...
8:17-You're married. -Built.
8:19I know but I wanna do the whole thing again. [laughs]
8:20-[Abby] Ladies! -Ooh.
8:22-Sorry. -I'm trying to teach.
8:24You're being very distracting.
8:26I know there's something going on with the moms upstairs
8:28because they're all laughing and getting along.
8:31You know that means they're up to no good.
8:33Here. See photos of singles near you.
8:35Okay.
8:37-You got in? -I'm in!
8:38I'm in! I'm in! Ooh, let's look at the men.
8:40Oh, this guy looks good.
8:42Well, she can't exactly date a lightweight.
8:46She would never be able to be on top. [laughs]
8:49That's all the time we have for today.
8:52Remember, it's a love story.
8:54I need to see that connection.
8:57And I need to see everybody else being very grandiose
9:01and-and big and watching this epic love story.
9:04Like, "Oh, my goodness. I wish he was my man."
9:06All right. Bye.
9:11[door creaks]
9:13[playful music]
9:17Oh, they're-- Look!
9:20[squeals and laughs]
9:22[moms laugh]
9:24No, you did not!
9:26She really needs to go on a date.
9:29If helping Abby find a man
9:32and find true love makes Abby happy
9:35and makes me look like a rock star,
9:37it can only benefit Kendall's dance career.
9:40Abby, that was so cute.
9:42I wanted to know if you would go out to dinner with me?
9:45Are you hooking me up with a guy?
9:53[Gianna] Five and six, seven eight.
9:55One, two...
9:59-You guys are late! -[door creaks]
10:05Where's Chloe?
10:06[tense music]
10:08Her mother isn't here either.
10:10-Oh, crap. -That's not good.
10:13Christi and Chloe are running late
10:15and this is certainly not the week for this to happen.
10:18She should've been here a half an hour early
10:22not a half an hour late.
10:24I hope Christi's not here on purpose.
10:26I hope she's just running late.
10:27I guess it's probably difficult for Chloe
10:31not getting the attention,
10:32not getting a solo, not getting a duet.
10:35It happens to all of us.
10:36-All of us. -[Holly] I said you know what,
10:37last season, actually the last two seasons,
10:40Nia was lucky to be in the group dance.
10:42She was just saying to me,
10:44like, "I just don't know what I'm gonna do.
10:46Abby's so mean to Chloe."
10:47I'm sitting there thinking to myself,
10:49"Hello! Do we not see how she treats Paige?"
10:51[Holly] Exactly.
10:53I'm in the same boat you are.
10:54There's nothing Christi can do.
10:56Keep that circle big!
10:58-[tense music] -Big!
11:02-Hello. -Hi.
11:03-[Jill] Fancy. -Yeah, I'm super fancy.
11:06-Hello. -I was texting you before.
11:08[Christi] There was so much traffic,
11:10I couldn't avoid being late.
11:11I just really hope Abby doesn't blame Chloe,
11:13you know, for the pile up on route 130.
11:15So what did I miss? [exhales sharply]
11:17-Melissa, the limo. -For what?
11:19-For Abby. -We're going out to dinner.
11:21Where are we going?
11:22Speed dating event at Atria's.
11:27Cool.
11:28Let's just hope and pray
11:29that there's some speed daters that are gonna take the bait.
11:32Well, I just feel sorry for the man
11:34who ends up with her.
11:37Go ahead. To one knee.
11:39Okay, then you went up
11:42and shot your leg out and hit the floor, boom.
11:44Now, pull it in, roll over and start the pee-wees.
11:47One, two, three.
11:51Straight knees, straight knees.
11:53You need to do four.
11:54Four. Four.
11:56This week, my solo is called "Love is War"
11:59and it's about a couple
12:01and they get on each other's nerves and fight
12:03a lot. [laughs]
12:05You have to walk in here tomorrow
12:06and do this dance with music and have the timing right.
12:09Yes? Remember, love is war.
12:11And I mean war, baby.
12:14Go.
12:17Get the group in here.
12:19[Jill] Hiya.
12:21Hey, we have a surprise.
12:23Come on.
12:24Today is the day
12:26we're gonna go have our dinner date.
12:28-We're not taking excuses. -Really special.
12:31Okay, I-I just have a lot to do
12:34as you know.
12:35-The sooner we go-- -We can go right now?
12:37-Yeah, right now. -I thought later tonight.
12:39No, go and get your bag.
12:40I'll go now. I'm good.
12:42[moms squeal]
12:43-[Holly] It'll be fun. -[Abby] I'm not paying.
12:46All right, you ready?
12:48I need someone to hang with. Let's go!
12:50We'll pretend Abby's not there!
12:52Well, I should go just to spite her.
12:56Where are we going and why do we need a limo?
12:58That's a little obnoxious.
13:00Just a girls' night out.
13:02Hurry up, they're gonna leave without us.
13:04Go, go, go. Quickly.
13:06My car is a limo.
13:08Absolutely.
13:09-Not standing in the rain. -That's fine.
13:11-[Abby] Jill! -[Jill] What?
13:13Jill, come here.
13:15You told me that Christi's not coming.
13:17Kelly snuck her in.
13:19Yeah, I'm not going. No.
13:20-Okay, then she'll-- -Nope.
13:22I'd rather have you than Christi.
13:24You invited me the other night.
13:25You never said a word about the mothers.
13:27-Then Melissa-- -I have a whole studio
13:29-that I'm running. -Listen.
13:31Melissa got jealous and rented the limo
13:33so I had to invite them all.
13:34Okay, give one minute.
13:35I'm gonna tell Christi she's gotta go
13:37and then we'll get you in.
13:38Christi, you gotta stay home.
13:41-Seriously? -Yeah, seriously.
13:43-Because Abby won't come. -That's fine.
13:45-You guys have fun. -[Holly] I'm sorry.
13:47I don't care.
13:49Everybody's gonna take one look at her
13:50-and run. -[Jill] Okay.
13:52Problem solved.
13:53-Okay. Let's go. -Yeah.
13:54I dunno what's up with Jill
13:56or where the other moms wanna take me.
13:58But I'm confident. Gianna's in rehearsal.
14:01She can handle it.
14:02[Gianna] Now, up to your knees in eight. Up!
14:05[Christi] I can't believe that Jill kicked me out of the limo.
14:07And I can't believe that none of the other moms stuck up for me.
14:10Not that I really wanna go hang out with Abby
14:12but it's the principle.
14:13As moms, what are we teaching our kids?
14:15Oh, it's okay to stab someone in the back
14:17as long as you get ahead, Jill.
14:19All right, come, guys. We're gonna have some fun.
14:21[cork pops]
14:22-[laughs] -That's sweet.
14:24-Oh, I'm good. -Oh, my gosh. This is epic.
14:27To friends.
14:29[Jill] To winning this weekend.
14:31To Bernardsville.
14:32-Cheers! -Cheers!
14:34-Cheers! -[Abby] That's so sweet.
14:37It's nice, Abby, to have like a love kind of theme
14:41-this week. -Love is war.
14:43Sometimes when you're in love with somebody,
14:46you still fight and you still argue.
14:48So, Abby, what is your type of man that you like?
14:52Maybe kinda like a young George Clooney
14:56with perfect teeth.
14:58[Kelly] That's what I like.
14:59[Abby] I like people that are worldly.
15:01Like people that speak five languages fluently.
15:03People that like to live.
15:06That like to eat, enjoys desert.
15:08Order everything on the menu just to try it.
15:10-You can't be pigeon-toed. -[laughs]
15:12Forget it.
15:13Are you just seeing one man right now?
15:17-Yes. -[guffaws]
15:20[pop music playing]
15:23[Jill] We have a surprise for you.
15:24I'm sure you do.
15:26[Holly] I don't know that I was so for this.
15:28[Abby] Oh, good!
15:30Oh, this is pretty.
15:34-Hey. -Hi.
15:36How are you?
15:38This is our contestant. It's speed dating.
15:41-It's speed dating. -[laughs]
15:42I saw something and I was cracking up.
15:44You are actually gonna be number one.
15:47Oh, thank God she's not number two.
15:50'Cause number two is always the first to lose.
15:51I had no idea this was gonna be speed dating.
15:55I think this is hysterical
15:56and I'm ready to meet some new guys.
15:59You have a badge number. He has a badge number.
16:01You're gonna write down his first name
16:03and then you're gonna circle "let's talk"
16:05-or "no thank you." -Okay.
16:07You both have to agree to get a match.
16:09Okay.
16:10We're gonna start our first date.
16:12Let's just go over a few things, Chris.
16:14-All right. -I have some questions.
16:15I have some answers.
16:16-Do you own your own tuxedo? -Yes, I do.
16:19-Okay. -As a matter of fact, I do.
16:21And I can tie a bow tie.
16:23That's like a bonus point.
16:25I'm nervous for her.
16:26No, I'm nervous for him.
16:28Right, I said that wrong.
16:30How many times have you been to Disney World?
16:35I like all kinds of guys.
16:37And I have a whole list of things that I require.
16:40-Hi, how are you? -Good. How are you?
16:42-Nice to meet you. -I'm Karl.
16:43Okay, ladies.
16:45Karl...
16:47-[Jill] Hi, Karl! -...has gum.
16:49But it must mean he has fresh breath.
16:52My mom used to teach dance.
16:53She used to own her own dance studio.
16:55So you grew up around a dance studio.
16:57I like him. I like that he dressed nice.
17:00[Holly] I do too.
17:02That he took time and thought into his appearance.
17:04-Oh, time's up. -Saved by the bell.
17:06I didn't even get my tough questions.
17:10-It was great meeting you. -[Kelly] Abby!
17:12-Thank you. -Thank you.
17:13Watch, see if he's pigeon-toed when he walks away.
17:16This would be great if Abby finds love
17:19because it would make me the hero
17:21and it would make all of our lives a whole lot easier.
17:24Don't go falling in love with anyone else.
17:26Hey, you know,
17:28you're only as good as your last performance.
17:31-How you doing? -How you doing?
17:33-I'm Darryl. -Nice to meet you.
17:35-Me too. -Never dated a man of color.
17:37-For real? -No.
17:39You know what they say.
17:41[stammers] I can't... Oh.
17:45Were you a jock in high school?
17:46I was a jock, yeah.
17:48Please tell me you played football.
17:50I played football, I played basketball.
17:52-I played baseball. I ran track. -Well...
17:55I'm a 50 yard line kind of girl.
17:57-Oh, are you? -Yeah.
17:58Cool. Were you a cheerleader?
18:00No.
18:02[whispers] I just mean I did it on the 50 yard line.
18:04Speed dating was fabulous.
18:07It was like I was auditioning men for a date.
18:10I got to sit back on the casting couch
18:11and just say next, next.
18:14Jill, I think this was a gift that's going to keep on giving.
18:23Here's what we're gonna do. I wanna start with the duet.
18:25Can we just mark through it once?
18:27Five, six, seven, eight.
18:29One, two.
18:31Your foot needs to point when it pulls off the floor.
18:33Point it.
18:34Nia and Kendall are in the studio
18:36learning their duet, "Dig It."
18:38And the choreography is difficult.
18:41They both move a little too slow for my liking.
18:45Now, Jill,
18:46she wants Kendall to be a superstar.
18:49Jill, pay attention
18:51because nobody's gonna be digging this routine.
18:55We have today. This is it, girls.
18:57It's now or never.
18:58We're gonna get on that bus
19:00and go to Bernardsville, New Jersey today.
19:03It's a duet. You have to dance together as one.
19:05Do it again. One, two! Turn, turn! Hit!
19:09Face, Nia, face.
19:11Practice the facial expressions.
19:13Fix your hat.
19:16Nia, you missed the turns again. You were late.
19:20You need to work on it. Send Maddie in, please.
19:23Leg, up, up, up.
19:25You need to work on your forced arch releve.
19:28Get out of that corner, keep your legs together.
19:29Squeeze up.
19:31Like that step, you need to fly through the air.
19:34Go. Yes.
19:36Okay.
19:37[Christi] How was Abby in there with Nia?
19:39She's not just picking on Nia, right?
19:41I think she is just picking on Nia.
19:42That's rotten.
19:44This week, Nia and Kendall have a duet
19:47and all I can think is look out, Holly, Jill's coming.
19:50She wants Kendall...
19:51[mimics Jill] ...to shine and be special in the duet.
19:53I'm gonna... I need to go down and check.
19:55[tense music]
20:02-Hey, G. -Hi.
20:04Hey, do you have some time right now?
20:07-Are you busy? -No.
20:08-To maybe work with Kendall? -I'm on break right now.
20:11Oh.
20:12-Just in Studio B? -Yeah.
20:14I wanna work on the duet with her.
20:16-Yeah, would you do that for me? -For sure.
20:18-Okay. -Yeah.
20:19[Jill] This private that Kendall is having with Gia
20:22is about Kendall's personal growth.
20:25Really.
20:26If Kendall can get a little extra help to be the best
20:29she can be, I'll take it.
20:32Oh, look. There's Jill.
20:34I found her.
20:35What's she doing?
20:37-Having a private with Kendall. -[Holly] For what?
20:39To make sure that she's the superstar of the duet.
20:42-Oh, you're kidding me. -Why wouldn't Nia be there?
20:44Isn't a duet...
20:46[Holly and Christi] Two people?
20:47[Holly] Jill approaches life as a competition
20:50and she sees Chloe being on the outs with Abby
20:53as being an advantage for Kendall.
20:55-Come on, Holly. -Okay.
20:57[tense music]
21:00[inaudible]
21:02-Come over here. -Hey.
21:03What's going on?
21:04I have to say I was a little surprised
21:07to see that Kendall was in a private.
21:10I don't know if it's considered a private
21:11but I came out and asked Gia and said is there anything
21:13she needs to work on individually.
21:16What?
21:18If it's a duet...
21:19Or is this just an opportunity to get Kendall up that pyramid.
21:24It is a way for her to stand out more than Nia.
21:27I have to do what's best for Kendall and me.
21:30Jill is the definition of a stage mom.
21:32Instead of putting Kendall's photo on that pyramid,
21:34I think Jill would be better off with her headshot.
21:37All right, I wanna give these costumes out to everybody.
21:40Kendall, Maddie, Paige.
21:43We'll do this with her.
21:44Now, to set this routine up,
21:46the peasant girl has befriended you
21:49and you promised to take care of her daughter
21:52on her dying day.
21:54So, girls, this is a very romantic, epic love story.
21:57I dunno, think of me at my last date.
22:00Oh, my. [chuckles]
22:03I was in LA.
22:04And we get very teary because we're 3,000 miles apart.
22:08[laughs]
22:09And he doesn't wanna come here.
22:11-Why not? -I don't blame him.
22:13Oh, she's got a guy in LA, you know.
22:15But he's, you know.
22:17He's gay.
22:19I don't think she thinks he is.
22:23I'm not pretty sure, I'm positive.
22:26Oh.
22:30[uncomfortable laughter]
22:32Why would you be excited to be engaged to a gay man?
22:36It could be a friendship one.
22:38Or a beard.
22:40Hmm.
22:42So last night, your mothers claimed
22:43that they were taking me out to dinner.
22:45They took me to a speed dating program.
22:49[laughs]
22:51You sit down and you talk to somebody for five minutes.
22:55And then they ring a bell and then you switch people
22:57and you switch people and you switch people.
22:59I wonder if she called any of the men?
23:02Was probably on the phone with them all night.
23:04Now she went from speed dating to phone sex.
23:07[groans]
23:08And let's take the dance from the top.
23:10Hey, let's go! It's all about the skirts.
23:12It's not about learning the number.
23:13We're doing a love theme, it should be beautiful
23:16and poetic and fluid.
23:18["Your Dream Will Be My Dream" by Chad Reisse]
23:21[Christi] That's your dream when you're young, the white dress.
23:23And after you get married,
23:24you always dream of the black one.
23:26[laughs] The perfect black dress.
23:27No, no. I'm talking about the funeral.
23:30-Oh! -They think I'm a widow.
23:32We're going to New Jersey.
23:33You know what happens to us in New Jersey.
23:35It's not good.
23:37-Goodbye. -Thank you.
23:43[uptempo music]
23:47[Abby] Come on, guys. Let's move it, move it, move it.
23:49Hi, how are you?
23:52-Good. It's good to see you. -It's good to see you.
23:54[Abby] I'm a little nervous to be back in New Jersey.
23:57These are tough competitors.
23:58There's great dance studios here.
24:01And like I said before, location, location, location.
24:05All right, girls, listen. This is New Jersey.
24:07And every time we come to New Jersey,
24:09bad things happen.
24:11That's true.
24:12What bad things have happened in New Jersey?
24:14Let's see: Abby had her breakdown
24:17and fled the scene when we lost to Candy Apples.
24:21Your kids are fine without me.
24:23Our track record in New Jersey is just not good.
24:27[coughs]
24:29-[coughing continues] -[Abby] Oh, honey.
24:32You've gotten sick.
24:36It's in your chest.
24:37[Holly] There's no denying that Nia's sick.
24:39However, I don't wanna make a big deal about it
24:42because I don't want her to pull another duet.
24:45[Abby] Hey, Maddie, come here.
24:47[dramatic music]
24:50Do you know the duet? Because Nia is really sick.
25:00Try to get Kendall to go over it with you.
25:02-Okay. -Okay.
25:04[ominous music]
25:08Jill, actually, I wanna talk to you about something.
25:10-Come here. -I wanted to, um,
25:11ask you something too.
25:13[groans] What are we gonna do with that woman?
25:15[Kelly laughs]
25:16[Holly] When Jill comes back
25:18she's gonna try to do your hard hat.
25:19Careful there's no poison darts in it, huh?
25:21[Christi laughs]
25:23Nia is really sick.
25:24She has bronchitis, I'm sure of it.
25:26Maddie knows the duet.
25:27But I couldn't do that to Nia.
25:29I'd rather do it as a solo.
25:32Just letting you know.
25:33[tense music]
25:34[indistinct chatter]
25:40Nothing. Abby's worried about Nia's cough.
25:42[Holly] Why didn't she talk in here about it?
25:44Are you her pediatrician?
25:47No.
25:48[Holly] It is totally inappropriate for Abby
25:50to discuss my child,
25:51especially my child's health, with another parent.
25:54Listen, if you don't feel good,
25:56and you don't feel like you wanna do it,
25:58we'll do it another time.
26:01You just tell me and we'll tell Abby.
26:03Not me. Tell Miss Abby.
26:04We'll do it another time, right?
26:07Okay, go. Good.
26:11[Holly] I know Nia's not feeling well
26:13but I also know she's gonna go on stage,
26:15she cannot use her illness as a cop out
26:18or a reason why she didn't do well.
26:20All right, girls, let's go.
26:22Come on, Mackenzie, you're first up.
26:23You'll always be cute cause you're my baby.
26:25Dance wars!

27:46[Melissa] Mackenzie didn't miss a beat.
27:47She was on.
27:49Her jack knife was so high,
27:52her back tuck was in the air.
27:54Oh, my gosh, she was just great.
27:57Oh, my gosh, Kenz, you did so good.
27:59Congratulations.
28:01Hey, hey, hey.
28:02Yeah.
28:04-It was good. Did it feel good? -Yes.
28:06Mackenzie looked good on stage
28:08but she doesn't use her face big enough.
28:10These kids in New Jersey perform.
28:14I know it's Bernardsville. Ha ha.
28:16But Bernardsville is this far from New York City.
28:19[Jill] Come on, K. Come on, come on, come on.
28:22[Abby] Whoa, whoa, whoa. Where are you going?
28:24[Jill] Now I'm going to the rest room.
28:28So, if you're gonna do it, let's do it
28:29because you're here for a reason.
28:31Let's do it. I won't say a word.
28:33[tense music]
28:35-Hey, G. -[Gianna] You guys rehearsing?
28:38I'd love for you to go over it.
28:39I'll watch if you do it once full out.
28:44Keep going. That wasn't it.
28:45Holly, can you find out where Jill is.
28:47Sure, I can do that.
28:48I'll sew you in in a second.
28:50Okay, I'll go look and find her in the bathroom.
28:53Is that hat gonna stay on her head?
28:55That hat's not going anywhere.
28:58-Unless her hair falls out. -[Holly] Hey.
28:59-Hey. -Hey.
29:04Yeah, guess you didn't expect to see me out here, huh?
29:07You want Nia to come out here to join you?
29:09-I would love her to. -Yeah?
29:10-Okay. -Wait, do the turn, though.
29:12-Let me grab her before. -Okay.
29:13I'm gonna go get Nia.
29:14I don't want her to miss out on this special lesson.
29:16[Holly] I'm frustrated
29:18but even more than frustrated and angry, I'm disappointed.
29:21I just talked to Jill yesterday
29:23about having privates with teachers.
29:26I just don't understand why she does this.
29:28She's a piece of work. Nia, come on outside.
29:31We're just reviewing the dance. Put on shoes.
29:33[Christi] What's she doing?
29:34-Gianna's working with Kendall. -[Abby] What?
29:37Gianna is?
29:38Yes, she just grabbed her.
29:39Gianna happened to be out in the hallway.
29:41You know what, Holly, that's not Gianna.
29:43-That's Jill. -[Holly] That's Jill.
29:45Just being pushy and trying to get ahead.
29:47[Holly] I'm not as upset with Gianna
29:49because as a teacher,
29:50if a parent will ask you for help, I get it.
29:53More so, I'm upset with Jill
29:55for putting Gianna in the middle of it.
29:56It was inappropriate.
29:58You weren't supposed to have Gianna work with her.
30:01It was like a little private.
30:03I went to the bathroom.
30:05-Where's the bathroom? -Wait.
30:06Around the corner,
30:07I said here's a big space, why don't you...
30:10You should've been there and said, "Holly, guess what.
30:12Gia's out here."
30:13We were just saying, where's Gia?
30:15We had just said that in there. She should be working the girls.
30:17-We need her help. -She should be working
30:19-with the girls. -Girls. Girls.
30:20Plural.
30:22It's not a private because I'm not paying for it.
30:24I didn't schedule it.
30:25It lasted about three minutes long.
30:28This is the job of a dance instructor.
30:31I didn't realize that was considered a private.
30:33But it upset Holly
30:35-so I can't do it anymore. -Why?
30:38Because I don't want everybody to be upset with me
30:40-'cause I just want my child... -You're gonna be like Melissa?
30:42...to be as good as she can be.
30:44Right. So you need to decide.
30:45Do you want the mothers to not be upset with you
30:47or do you want your kid to get better?
30:49I can't have them angry at me.
30:50[Abby] Why are the other moms
30:52-in the group... -Because we are a team.
30:54...more important than your own child?
30:56[Jill] They're not. Obviously, they're not.
30:57[Abby] Then you shouldn't give a darn what Holly cares.
31:00Nia, how you feeling?
31:01-Good. -Really?
31:03All right, deep breaths.

33:48I think she has this whole thing sewn up.
33:51[Christi] Yeah, see, Jill?
33:53All that extra help paid off.
33:54It sure did.
33:55-Yeah. -I thought they looked great.
33:57Holly, I thought Nia was fabulous in the duet.
33:59You didn't even need all the extra help.
34:00Abby can't make up her mind to save her life.
34:03I know, and she changes her mind.
34:05She'll say one thing and then, "I don't like this."
34:07[Christi] Kinda like when I got in the limo.
34:10You know, let's all go and then Jill's like, nope, get out.
34:12That was humiliating. Were you setting me up to be humiliated?
34:15Me? No.
34:17There were four other people involved in that.
34:19Why am I the fall guy?
34:21As I was informed,
34:22Jill will do anything to move Kendall up that spot.
34:25If that means taking Abby on a date...
34:27We brought me back in and we did this stand-off
34:30at the beginning of the year
34:32to be a team.
34:33And I don't feel like
34:35doing this stuff behind each others' back,
34:37I don't feel like we're being a team.
34:39I didn't do anything behind your back.
34:40I did it right in front of you
34:42and I did it to benefit my child.
34:44At least you're honest.
34:45I'd rather have somebody say I'm gonna do everything
34:47than say I'm not gonna do it, then sneak around and do it.

39:19But I don't love the fact that they were second.
39:23That's the biggest loser on the stage.
39:24Oh, I felt so bad for the group. I mean, I... [sighs]
39:27I think the lovefest has ended.
39:29Was quite a lovey-dovey week.
39:31-The lovefest is over. -It's over.
39:33-Hi! -[squeals]
39:36You guys look happy for getting second.
39:38Hey, it's okay.
39:39Good job. I'm proud of you guys.
39:42I thought you guys were amazing.
39:43We can hope for better next time, right?
39:47Oh.
39:51Well, well, well.
39:53They were beautiful.
39:57Ladies.
39:59I think some of you need a break.
40:01Kendall, did your private with Gianna help in the duet?
40:05I think you two have a big hole to dig yourselves out of.
40:08Maddie, what happened? You were on top of the pyramid.
40:10I threw you the "lifeline."
40:12You let it slip right out of your hands.
40:14You were that close.
40:16Mackenzie, I firmly believe, like Maddie,
40:19you need to get knocked down a peg
40:21because that's gonna make you work harder.
40:22And this was a love story.
40:24And the one lesson I thought all of you would take home
40:28was that you love to dance.
40:30[Abby] They need to figure out, do they love to dance?
40:33Do they love to compete and do they love to win?
40:36Do they want this to be a career?
40:38Because if you don't, move aside.
40:40You know what, ladies,
40:41I don't wanna be nasty but it's tough love sometimes.
40:44I love you kids, I do. I love all my students.
40:47But I don't love what happened out there today.
40:51[tense music]
40:54[Abby] Next on Dance Moms...
40:56The name of the group routine is "Don't Ask, Just Tell."
41:00If you wanna be Maddie, then you need to get the face.
41:02That's it. Good, good, good.
41:03-Who is it? -Some guy.
41:04-[Abby] Hello? -You can have the first bite.
41:07You hurt your foot?
41:09Then you shouldn't be on it. Go home.
41:10Miss Abby wasn't yelling at you.
41:12I don't wanna let her down.
41:13Oh, honey, I know you don't.
41:15She is throwing her talent away.
41:18It's time to not be dancing anymore.
41:20Pay attention to your child, not mine.
41:22Mackenzie, I don't wanna be lied to.
41:25If you can dance, you dance.
41:26Did you witness Mackenzie doing cartwheels in here?
41:29I asked you a question!
41:31Don't you lie to me.
