0:01ABBY (VOICEOVER): Previously on "Dance Moms"--
0:02Your replacements will be at the competition.
0:03Could you quit running up to the mirror, so close?
0:06Think!
0:08Mackenzie forgets her dance on stage.
0:09She goes completely blank.
0:11Listen to what I'm saying.
0:12I'm hearing you.
0:13ABBY: Nothing should get in their way.
0:14And I know.
0:15Same think about worrying about a guy instead
0:17of your own kids.
0:18MELISSA: We have a happy household.
0:20Well, your kid doesn't look very happy to me.
0:21You are more worried about your friendships
0:23with all of these women than your own kids,
0:25and you know it, because you're an idiot!
0:27Yeah, go.
0:28ABBY (VOICEOVER): Coming up on "Dance Moms"--
0:30Jill-- she did a costume behind Abby's back.
0:32I don't like people going behind my back.
0:34You know that's my problem with Melissa.
0:36You're using hats.
0:37A hat is very specific to the style of the routine.
0:42Put the hat on their head and make sure it's right.
0:44Kendall, I don't think you'll be doing your solo.
0:46It's all their fault!
0:47Get your kid and leave.
0:48You're idiots if you stay.
0:50I knew something was up when we hadn't seen Cathy in weeks.
0:53I don't want to be fourth in front of Cathy.
0:55The boys are just amazing.
0:56CHRISTI: Come on, Chlo.
0:57We're done.
0:58[theme music]
1:01(SINGING) Get up.
1:03Get on the floor.
1:05My world is with my girls, living on the dance floor.
1:11[music playing]
1:20MELISSA: I don't think I've ever been so nervous to walk
1:22into pyramid as I am right now.
1:24It's bad enough that we got fourth place at competition
1:26last week, but Abby and I got in a big fight.
1:28And I know she's mad at me.
1:34I just want to look at what fourth place looks like.
1:37I really can't remember when the Abby Lee Dance Company
1:40competition team came in fourth.
1:43That had to be 20, 25 years ago.
1:46It was devastating to me.
1:47This weekend we will be traveling
1:50to Voorhees, New Jersey.
1:52We will be attending On Stage America.
1:55I don't want to be fourth, again.
1:57On the bottom, Mackenzie.
1:59You will not be performing in the group routine this weekend.
2:04Next, Maddie.
2:06MELISSA: Maddie and Mackenzie we're both at the bottom.
2:08It was, you know, a little different.
2:10It is what it is.
2:11I mean, I don't know what I'm supposed to do.
2:14ABBY: At Nationals you were amazing, just as good as Chloe.
2:17But Chloe won.
2:18And ever since then--
2:21KELLY: I think maybe Melissa and Maddie need
2:23to get used to taking a turn at the bottom.
2:26Because we've all been there.
2:28Paige, once again, it's the same pattern, Kelly.
2:32It's like she doesn't have to work anymore.
2:34Like, I went, I won.
2:35Third was good enough for me.
2:39Nia, you're doing fine.
2:42But is fine going to make you a star?
2:47Kendall, you didn't pull my eyes in a negative way.
2:50You actually pulled them in a positive way.
2:53When I don't say your name and I stop yelling at you,
2:57get worried.
2:58JILL: I'm ecstatic because Kendall's never
3:00been off the bottom row of the pyramid.
3:02We're moving up.
3:03This is what we're working towards.
3:04This is good.
3:05And, Chloe, I thought you looked great.
3:09It was good.
3:10Was that exactly what you're supposed to do?
3:12No.
3:13Go out there and do the routine that you were taught,
3:16the way I envision it.
3:18Better yet, Chloe, do it better than I can imagine it.
3:22That's a dancer.
3:23And, on top of the pyramid--
3:25I think the kids think it's going to be Brooke.
3:28Ha!
3:29Not a chance.
3:31--is nobody.
3:34Nobody in a group that got fourth deserves that spot.
3:37Brooke, I don't have you on the team.
3:39KELLY: She's been here every week.
3:41What is the purpose of her coming every week
3:43if you're not going to put her on the pyramid?
3:44Brooke, do you want to be here?
3:47See, that to me is not a response that I'm looking for.
3:52KELLY: I've been playing by the rules with Abby.
3:54I haven't been name calling.
3:56I haven't been fighting with her.
3:57And Abby still won't put her on the pyramid.
3:59It's like she's playing a game with me.
4:01I really don't care because I think your pyramid is
4:03a crock of [bleep] anyways.
4:04This weekend we are doing a group routine
4:06called "Pink Lemonade."
4:08Brooke, I plan for you to be in the group routine.
4:10Kendall, you have a solo.
4:13[applause]
4:15Your solo is entitled "Owe You Nothing."
4:19Remember that.
4:20I owe you nothing.
4:23You are very lucky.
4:24Embrace this opportunity and make the most of it.
4:27Nia, you also have a solo.
4:30[applause]
4:32Your solo is entitled "100 Years From Now."
4:36Is it going to take you 100 more years to straighten those legs
4:39and point those feet or are you going to do it now?
4:42And I have one more solo.
4:46Chloe, do you think you can do the dance that I teach you?
4:50Have you talked to your mom about stopping the advocacy
4:53for all the other mothers?
4:55CHRISTI: It's obvious that Abby is still
4:56holding a grudge over our walk out a few weeks ago.
4:59Well, we're here now, and Chloe's ready to work.
5:01And Abby just needs to move on.
5:03Chloe, this is a contemporary routine, as well.
5:07There's lots of hits, accents, it's stronger
5:10than you've been doing before.
5:11And it is called "Left in the Dark."
5:14The group routine is entitled "Pink Lemonade."
5:17You're using hats, and the hats are a prop.
5:21Drop your hat and you're off the team.
5:24[music playing]
5:26KELLY: God.
5:27[laughter]
5:28Let's be a little harsh.
5:29They think I'm joking?
5:31Let somebody drop the hat and see what happens.
5:34Moms, you're dismissed.
5:36You're going to be rhinestoning.
5:38Ladies, spread apart.
5:39Start to warm up.
5:40Grand plié in second.
5:42[music playing]
5:46(SINGING) The world--
5:47The world was mine to give.
5:52I must say, I'm surprised that Abby's up.
5:55Abby must really care about this routine.
5:58She is actually up and out of her chair.
6:00Straddle leap, cut under--
6:02two jumps.
6:07Yes.
6:09HOLLY: Melissa, did Abby apologize to you?
6:12No.
6:13Has she ever apologized to you?
6:14JILL: Maddie and Mackenzie are both at the bottom
6:17of the pyramid.
6:18And I know Melissa is about to explode.
6:21Clearly Abby, at this point, wants nothing
6:23to do with Melissa.
6:25It surprised me that she said all that stuff to you
6:28and you did not say anything back to her.
6:31You are more worried about your friendships
6:33with all these women than your own kids, and you know it.
6:36Same thing about worrying about a guy instead of your own kids!
6:40Yes!
6:41Going from one husband to another
6:43instead of just worrying about your kids--
6:45please.
6:46It is what it is.
6:47If somebody said that stuff about me,
6:48I don't know how I couldn't say something.
6:50That's-- that's-- it works for you, I guess.
6:52You know?
6:54CHRISTI: It's so funny to me to see Melissa sit there
6:55and be like, "Oh, I don't care if Maddie doesn't have a solo."
6:57She's like, "No, I don't even care."
6:59Melissa's wearing glasses this week because her contacts can't
7:02stand through all those tears.
7:03You sat there and did not say a word,
7:05and Maddie still didn't get a solo this week.
7:10MELISSA: I'm not saying anything to her about it.
7:12That's not anybody else's concern.
7:15[music playing]
7:21CATHY: You are here because I had a team last year.
7:25I was a little lenient with that team
7:28and it bit me in the apples.
7:30I haven't seen Abby since last year's Nationals in LA.
7:34Since that time, I've used all my resources
7:38to get just that perfect team.
7:40And I think I finally have it.
7:43It's all boys.
7:46That's genius.
7:47There's a dance teacher by the name of Abby Lee Miller.
7:51I need to win.
7:52I need to beat her.
7:54That's why you guys are here.
7:56First we have Bryant.
8:00I know you're going to have to really focus on your technique,
8:02but I think you have a burning desire to get ahead.
8:05Yes?
8:06Yeah.
8:07Jalen.
8:08If there's a Bboy to be had, he's the one.
8:11If you want to slide on your head right past Abby Miller,
8:14you do that.
8:17Gino, you've got excellent technique.
8:20I know that you're going to bring it to the board.
8:23And at the top of the pyramid, Zack--
8:29highly trained, excellent technique.
8:32And I a certain teacher by the name
8:35of Abby Miller who invited you to come dance with her team.
8:40So here we have it.
8:41Yes?
8:43My thoughts behind the pyramid--
8:44it promotes individual as opposed to a group effort.
8:47You're right.
8:48And team, individual, leader.
8:52Enough said.
8:53MAN: We'll see.
8:54OK, guys, let's go.
8:55Girls are a dime a dozen at competitions.
8:58Boys make the judges sit up and take notice,
9:01especially when the boys are as technically
9:05fabulous as the boys that I've found.
9:08[music playing]
9:12ABBY: The name of the song is "Pink Lemonade,"
9:14but it's about life.
9:16You get lemons, you make lemonade.
9:19OK, let's try that with the music.
9:21CHRISTI: Maddie looks like she's ready to lose her mind.
9:24I don't know how much more of this Melissa
9:26is going to be able to take.
9:27Because Maddie doesn't have a solo,
9:28Mackenzie's not even in the group dance.
9:30She's over in the corner like a little rat, like,
9:32"Oh, go in the corner, Kenz.
9:34Blah, blah, blah, blah."
9:37Drag, ball change, hop, chainé, hold your head on.
9:40Arms, arms, arms.
9:47HOLLY: What are you going to do about Abby?
9:49You're not going to do anything, really?
9:51I don't know what to do.
9:52I mean, I-- you know, it's a shame that my whole kid's life
9:55is about Miss Abby.
9:56And I don't want to hurt Abby's feelings.
9:58I'm not one to confront people.
10:00I'll always appreciate everything that Abby
10:02has done for my children.
10:03She has made my children into the dancers
10:06that they've become.
10:07I'm going to be honest with you.
10:08I regret things and I-- you know, I--
10:11I do.
10:12Like being in the car?
10:13Do you regret that?
10:14I do.
10:16Abby could turn on anyone at any given time.
10:18I'm sorry, but I do.
10:27[music playing]
10:27JEN: Hi. - Hi, Jen.
10:28Come on in. - Great.
10:28Sure.
10:29This is going to be a big week for Kendall.
10:31She's getting a solo, so I want her to look amazing.
10:35Kendall, this is Jen. - Hi.
10:36Hi. Nice to met you.
10:37Nice to meet you, Kendall.
10:38We want something over the top.
10:40Boom.
10:41JILL: I know that Abby says a costume doesn't make a number,
10:45but it helps.
10:46And if I'm willing to pay the money and spend the time
10:49and hire a designer, Abby won't be able to overlook her.
10:52- Bye. - Bye.
10:53Thanks.
10:54What do you think?
10:56Good.
10:57It's going to be exciting!
10:58I'm so excited!
10:59[music playing]
11:00ABBY: Come on, girls!
11:01Let's go, let's go, let's go!
11:02Girls, listen up.
11:04"Pink Lemonade" better not be fourth or third or second.
11:08[music playing]
11:09When you drag your foot from straddle around,
11:11you're sickling your right foot.
11:12This week we're doing a musical theater number
11:15to "Pink Lemonade."
11:16Chloe, you're flexing your palms on the arch back.
11:19The hands are clean.
11:20Now the girls use hats.
11:22And there's a little surprise with the hats
11:24as the routine goes on.
11:25They pull the hats off, the hair comes tumbling all down,
11:29and then they continue to dance with the hat in their hand.
11:33Get That hat!
11:34Get it! Get it!
11:35Get it!
11:38Nobody was good.
11:39I mean, if that kid drops their hat on stage,
11:41it ruins the whole number.
11:43This is turning, leaping, jumping.
11:45Not one person can be off.
11:47Because when that hat's off, you're going to see it.
11:50Dancing with the hat is pretty hard.
11:52I just hope that I don't screw up at the competition.
11:54[music playing]
11:57Yay!
11:58There we go.
11:59Good girl.
12:00Good girl.
12:01Let's find you a cup.
12:03JILL: Wow.
12:04You're all clean.
12:05Look.
12:06She's like, I don't know.
12:07She's going to know you because you're my dog sitter
12:09today.
12:10Jill is kind of, you know, stepping
12:12into Melissa's old spot.
12:14And she wants to be helpful.
12:16Get the pooper scooper.
12:17Let's be helpful.
12:19You going to walk her for me? - Outside?
12:20Yes. JILL: No, I don't--
12:22Kendall doesn't come first.
12:23My dog comes first.
12:24So you want to go tinkles?
12:26JILL: I'm honored that Abby trusts her dog with me.
12:28I just really hope she doesn't go to doggie heaven
12:30on my watch.
12:32Ooh, look, we have progress.
12:33That's a good girl.
12:34Go potty.
12:35Come on.
12:36CHRISTI: I think Jill ye saw an opening on Abby's pyramid
12:39of moms and she's like, oh, Melissa's fallen from grace.
12:42I will walk the dog so I can be at the top of the mom pyramid.
12:45Come on.
12:45Come see your mama.
12:47MELISSA: She'll bark when she sees her.
12:49I bark when I see Abby, too.
12:50[barking]
12:51MELISSA: See?
12:52I told you.
12:53JILL: I know!
12:54You saw her.
12:57I guess Broadway Baby can sense evil, too.
12:59[music playing]
13:03We're going to start right here.
13:04Remember, this is "Owe You Nothing."
13:07You're like, I don't owe you.
13:10You're more, like, dangerous.
13:13Boom.
13:15Kendall is doing a jazz acrobatic routine.
13:17It's entitled "Owe You Nothing."
13:19Take the arms down the body.
13:22Push like there's a wall on either side of you.
13:24And, you know what?
13:25No more second chances, Kendall.
13:27Has anybody ever heard of this girl, Jen Rocket?
13:30I had her come over because I don't have costumes that
13:35haven't been worn with Abby that aren't another studio's.
13:38So I really hope that--
13:39Did Abby design it or did she leave it up to you
13:40to design it?
13:42No, Abby didn't design it.
13:44[gasps] You're going to get in trouble.
13:46JILL: She had told me what she wanted.
13:47Because I don't want you to get
13:48yelled at for doing something behind her back.
13:51ABBY: Moms!
13:52MELISSA: Yes?
13:53Come on down to the costume shop.
13:54I want to go over these rhinestones.
13:56JILL: Woo-hoo!
13:56Let's go.
13:58Let's get it done so we can get home early and pack.
13:59Yeah, OK.
14:00That's never going to happen.
14:01ABBY: The costumes were custom made.
14:03They're ready for the girls.
14:05All they need is rhinestones.
14:06The fedora is to be worn like that.
14:10So it sits-- it's all in my head and I'm pointing it
14:13to the right and down.
14:15I have a costume in my dancewear store for Nia.
14:17Obviously, Chloe is going to wear a ragdoll costume.
14:20All right, now Kendall, for that solo--
14:22I would have loved her to be in green.
14:24Well, let me tell you--
14:25and regarding the costume, I have gray bottoms
14:28and a gray top.
14:30And it's going to have, like, a lace overlay over it.
14:33You know what, Abby?
14:34I think you're going to like what we came up.
14:36Jill, you just have to understand,
14:38I don't like people going behind my back.
14:40I wouldn't go behind your back, Abby.
14:41I back that.
14:42But you know that's my problem with Melissa.
14:44JILL: I see and feel the tension between Abby and Melissa.
14:48And I know that Abby is used to Melissa doing
14:50all these extra things for her.
14:52But Abby is not asking her to do it.
14:55CHRISTI: I guess Jill is taking the approach that gifts didn't
14:58really get her too far, so now she's
14:59into doing favors for Abby.
15:01MELISSA: That's something I would do.
15:03Is there anything else in here you need me to do for you?
15:05Nope.
15:06You don't need any help in here?
15:07No. We're all good.
15:08All right.
15:11CHRISTI: Did you start your solo?
15:12No?
15:13Whatever.
15:16I don't, either.
15:17Nia, I told you before, the name of your routine
15:19is "100 Years From Now."
15:21You don't have 100 years from now
15:22to fix your feet and your legs I'm giving Nia a solo.
15:25You might think I'm off my rocker.
15:27This kid keeps telling me she's working on her legs
15:29and working on her feet and working on her turnout.
15:31I want to see her do a lyrical solo.
15:34This is a lyrical routine in the 11-12 age group.
15:36Step it up!
15:37You all right?
15:38No.
15:40I'm not.
15:41What's wrong?
15:42My daughter hasn't started her solo.
15:43Nobody seems to care.
15:44Christi, maybe this is Abby's test
15:47when she talks about advocating for your child.
15:49Holly can't possibly understand how I'm feeling.
15:51Nia's solo is finished, and Chloe hasn't even started hers.
15:54Why does Nia need all that more time than Chloe?
15:56Maybe you just need to go down there and just talk to Ab.
15:59OK, no.
15:59I don't know if you've met Abby.
16:01She doesn't have conversations.
16:03She argues.
16:04I wasn't trying to suggest that you should fight with her.
16:06- OK, thanks. - OK.
16:07You know have to get snippy with me, miss.
16:09I feel like Christi's overreacting more and more
16:11these days.
16:12She's constantly throwing tantrums,
16:14and I'm not in the mood to fuss over her.
16:16Yes, Hello?
16:17Yes.
16:18This is Abby Lee from the Abby Lee Dance Company
16:20in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
16:21We're attending your event in Voorhees, New Jersey.
16:24I had to call the competition to verify that our routines were
16:28entered in the correct categories.
16:29And I asked if anybody was coming from another state.
16:33I talked to On Stage America.
16:35She wouldn't give me names, but there
16:36was one student from Pennsylvania, which is us,
16:40and one studio from Ohio.
16:43That's not just any studio from Ohio.
16:45That's got to be Cathy.
16:47She's going to come back with a vengeance.
16:49I didn't like being fourth last week.
16:51I don't want to be fourth in front of Cathy.
16:54The girls have to have straight legs.
16:56Their arms need to be placed correctly.
16:58They have to nail those turns.
16:59If they don't win I get to say, "I told you so."
17:09[music playing]
17:10And, a one, two, one, two, three.
17:13And a one, two, and one, two, three.
17:17I like this.
17:18This is cool.
17:19But I like this. - Boom.
17:20That, right there.
17:21As I'm watching Chloe dance, she's
17:23really done on this creepy doll thing well.
17:25And, more importantly, she's remembering every bit
17:27of her choreography, with so little time to practice.
17:30Feel that?
17:31Slow down.
17:32Do it again.
17:33And--
17:34MELISSA: This is pretty.
17:35Excuse me.
17:36Chloe's costume is beautiful. MELISSA: Yes, it is.
17:38JILL: It's beautiful. You did a great job.
17:39CHRISTI: I'm not done.
17:40MELISSA: Jill, what are you doing?
17:41Are you not using the costume that lady made?
17:43Yeah.
17:43She wants green in it, so I'm going
17:45to try to get some green pieces to put in it.
17:46Did you show her the picture of it?
17:49No.
17:51KELLY: Abby asked everyone to have their costumes done
17:52for today.
17:54Like, I can't believe Jill doesn't have hers.
17:57Jill, I'm confused.
17:59You don't have a costume for Kendall,
18:01but I thought you had one made.
18:02I don't have it.
18:03That was yesterday.
18:04Oh, well, what are you working on now?
18:06Oh. This is pieces for the costume.
18:07CHRISTI: Oh, OK.
18:08JILL: But I don't have it in my possession.
18:10And then you're just going to add those pieces to--
18:10And then I was going to add this.
18:11Oh, OK.
18:12I was just a little confused.
18:14Jill's been here long enough that you would think she would
18:17be smart enough to know you just don't do stuff like that.
18:20[music playing]
18:25They're so holding back because of their hats.
18:27I was thinking the same thing.
18:29They can't go all-out because they've
18:31got to hold their heads a certain way so the hats don't
18:33fall off. CHRISTI: Mm-hmm.
18:34Chloe was saying that before, last night.
18:35So they're dancing kind of stiff, I think.
18:37Slow down, there.
18:38Brooke, you're never straightening out
18:39your first leg in that jump, at all.
18:41Make sure your hat's on your head.
18:43We all learned, at the very first competition that we ever
18:46went to with this particular team,
18:48that the headpiece stays on your head.
18:51Who did we learn it from?
18:53Chloe.
18:54I'm totally serious.
18:55I mean, if that kid drops their hat onstage,
18:57it ruins the whole number.
18:58All the judges are going to look at somebody's hat.
19:02All right, ladies! [gasps]
19:03MELISSA: Scared me.
19:04I've had it with the hat situation.
19:07I don't have 48 more hours to tell each kid 100 more times
19:11how to wear their hat.
19:13A hat is very specific to the style of the routine.
19:17Put the hat on their head and make sure it's right.
19:20JILL: That's not the way to approach a situation.
19:23I think the kids get the point.
19:25But, come on, situations happen.
19:27A hat may drop on the floor.
19:30Big deal.
19:31One, two, three.
19:34Bop!
19:36Get it down.
19:37Kendall is doing a jazz acrobatic routine.
19:39Now this is a defining moment in Kendall's life.
19:42Right foot, rolling over.
19:43She's either going to go out there and wow the judges
19:46and impress me or she's going to go out there and blow it.
19:51JILL: Even though Abby's been really, really hard on Kendall
19:54and it has not been an easy road, I'm really proud of her.
19:58She's working towards something and she's seeing results.
20:01This is-- this is really good.
20:03ABBY: Kendall, you're marking things.
20:05Why are you marking things?
20:06I didn't give Maddie a solo.
20:07If I did, she wouldn't be marking it.
20:10She would do it full out every time.
20:12I think sometimes Abby forgets that Kendall is only nine
20:14years old.
20:16I am so happy that Kendall has a solo this week.
20:18ABBY: Your face is ridiculous on the turns.
20:21But I hate that Abby is so hard on her.
20:26[upbeat music]
20:30[mooing]
20:31Boys, parents, I would like to introduce you
20:35to your choreographer for this week.
20:37And this is Nick Anthony.
20:39He's come all the way from LA to work with you guys.
20:43Nick is very good with hip hop.
20:46It's going to go one, two.
20:48It's going to go punch, punch.
20:50One, two, three and four, step.
20:54He's utilizing the contemporary boys and the hip
20:57hop boys, and gelling it all together.
21:00And that's what I was looking for.
21:02Let's go one more time from the top.
21:03CATHY: The dance that we're doing at the competition
21:05is very masculine.
21:08And it's called "Own It."
21:09And I thought that that was very appropriate because I would
21:12very much like to be able to say that we owned it.
21:16Punch, punch, pull, cross, slice.
21:20And four, five and six.
21:22OK.
21:23We're still struggling with that.
21:24NICK: Not bad.
21:25We're under the gun.
21:26This competition hit us really fast.
21:29These boys coming in from all over the nation--
21:31they're going to have to pull it together.
21:33They don't have options.
21:35Five, six, seven and one, two, three and four.
21:39Step it back.
21:40Step it back.
21:41One, two, three and four, five and six.
21:44That's better.
21:45Much better.
21:47I can't wait to see Abby's face when Jalen comes sliding
21:50across the floor on his head.
21:58[music playing]
22:06Kendall, you're not turning in relevé.
22:08Don't get so close to her!
22:09Look at the gap behind you!
22:10Sloppy feet, Kendall!
22:12Your right ankle wasn't pressed into the ground!
22:14This rehearsal is not going well, especially for Kendall.
22:18To be honest, I don't think this kid can handle everything
22:20on her plate.
22:22Your left foot's sickled on the jazz backbend!
22:24Not to mention, she didn't bring the costume for her solo.
22:29I guess this is it.
22:30I'm going to dismiss you.
22:32Kendall, I don't think you'll be doing your solo.
22:37Your mother was to have that costume here today.
22:39She knows everything-- fine.
22:41I don't think you're doing a solo.
22:42Then I'm going home.
22:45I have other children and other responsibilities.
22:48So I haven't had time to get Kendall's costume, yet.
22:53Abby better not take it out on Kendall.
22:55It's not her fault.
22:57I can have a costume!
22:59They told me they have it!
23:01You're idiots if you stay and let this woman destroy
23:04your children.
23:04You know that.
23:06This is destruction.
23:07KELLY: I said the same thing last season.
23:09Well, why don't we all walk out until she apologizes
23:13to these children for treating them like [bleep] animals?
23:17I'm not doing it, guys.
23:18I'm not doing it.
23:21Let's go.
23:23It's not my fault. But even more so, it's not her fault.
23:27ABBY: No.
23:28But why didn't you just take what I was offering you?
23:30You're a grown adult woman.
23:31Just go get it. - That's right.
23:33And this is-- no.
23:34I am a grown adult woman and-- and we are done with this.
23:36Come on.
23:40Jill was to bring a costume and she didn't.
23:43What did you expect Abby to do?
23:44I'm so sorry, honey.
23:45[crying]
23:46I know.
23:47It'll never, ever work.
23:49It'll never work.
23:51OK?
23:52[crying]
23:53It's OK.
23:55I'm trying so hard.
24:01Girls, I'll be on the bus.
24:04I just find it humorous that the moms sat in the parking
24:07lot for two days because Brooke and Paige weren't here.
24:11But now that Kendall's not here, it's "Screw you, honey."
24:14Every man for themselves.
24:15Look at Brooke and Paige.
24:17They didn't shed a tear.
24:28[music playing]
24:29I need to know what you want to do.
24:31You OK, Kendall?
24:32It's not good.
24:34I mean-- I can't believe not one mom was on my side, especially
24:39Kelly.
24:40I mean, I quit the team for her.
24:42Well, I can tell you right now,
24:44Melissa will never stick up to Abby again.
24:47We all quit just a few weeks ago, and where did it get us?
24:50Abby had us replaced in days.
24:52And then we came back and Abby was still horrible.
24:55I think Jill's crazy if she wants
24:56to go through this, again.
24:57I'm going to go on the bus and talk to Abby.
25:01[music playing]
25:06Yes?
25:07JILL: I want Kendall to dance.
25:09You know I fought to get her on this team.
25:11What did I say?
25:13When I forget your name--
25:14I know. I know.
25:15And I--
25:16ABBY: --that's when you start to worry.
25:17Maybe tell Kendall, honey, every time she corrects you,
25:20that's like mommy spent $100.
25:23So by the end of the day, you've got $10,000, Maddie got $2,000,
25:28Paige got zip.
25:29Spin it.
25:30You're the parent.
25:31I know that Kendall wants to dance.
25:34And Jill needs to realize that I'm never
25:36going to coddle my dancers.
25:38So, Jill, get over it.
25:39If Kendall wants to dance, she wants
25:41to go with us this weekend, get a costume and get on the bus.
25:45OK.
25:47[music playing]
25:54[cheering]
25:55ABBY: Game faces.
25:59There are tons of fans waiting at the door to meet us,
26:03and I don't even have time for them.
26:04Because I have one thing on my mind, and that's Cathy.
26:07I've warned you over and over.
26:09Come on.
26:10Listen, Paige, pay attention.
26:11MELISSA: I don't know why Cathy gets under Abby's skin so bad.
26:14Because Abby knows that we're better than her,
26:17so she just needs to just not let it bother her.
26:20Oh, all right.
26:21[laughs]
26:22[chatter]
26:27CATHY: Smells not like something's burning.
26:28Woo! It's us, because we are hot!
26:30[laughs] I'm so excited to see Abby,
26:34and to see her face drop to her toes
26:37when she sees me walking in with my entourage of boys.
26:40OK.
26:41Start to unpack.
26:42Get the shoes on that you're going to dance in.
26:45Hello!
26:47I made it a point to go right to Cathy's dressing room.
26:50And lo and behold, all boys.
26:56Really?
26:57Yes, really.
26:59Really?
26:59Really.
27:00Man, oh, man.
27:02Cathy is a snake.
27:04She secretly created this all boys team.
27:07She knows that's the only way she could even
27:10come close to beating me.
27:11All right, guys.
27:12Well, I have some gifts for you, some Abby Lee Dance Company
27:14t-shirts.
27:16Because, you know, we are the National Champions.
27:18You know what you're going to do with those shirts.
27:20Right?
27:21You can dust with them.
27:24What?
27:24Cathy, now come on.
27:26Don't be rude like that.
27:27You-- that's-- it's unbecoming.
27:29Oh, my goodness.
27:30The saddest part is, Cathy's a great teacher.
27:33She has great girls.
27:34She just doesn't know how to teach guys.
27:35Abby, do you have a boy dancing today?
27:38- I don't. - Oh.
27:39But I-- I'll--
27:40Well, I think that speaks volumes.
27:41But I have lots of boys working professionally.
27:46[music playing]
27:51I knew something was up when we hadn't seen Cathy in weeks.
27:55And now I know what her game is.
27:56She has an all boys team.
27:58That's her MO because you guys all
28:00know that a judge-- they go for the boys
28:02all the time because they want to keep them dancing.
28:04You girls are a dime a dozen.
28:06Abby is so obsessed now with Cathy and her boys
28:08that she's going to be even harder on our girls.
28:11I want that faster.
28:11Get three in there.
28:12Make that mean something, Chloe.
28:14That's the last time they see your face.
28:16You got to stretch that front knee.
28:17It's bent.
28:18Where are you spotting that turn?
28:19Don't lose steam.
28:20[screams] Start over.
28:21It's really important that every single person on my team
28:25goes out there and nails it.
28:28We need every point we can get to beat Cathy.
28:31Let's go.
28:32[music playing]
28:37Guys, whatever we get, be happy.
28:39OK.
28:40And don't be mad at anybody.
28:41I won't.
28:42OK.
28:44ANNOUNCER: Next, in our Junior Miss competition,
28:46please welcome to the stage number 121.
28:48This is Nia, dancing to "100 Years From Now."
28:51[cheering and applause]
28:52[music playing]
29:03(SINGING) I would give you the world.
29:07My hands are empty.
29:10All I have is words.
29:18I wasn't doing so bad.
29:21Now I'm the same as now.
29:31[cheering and applause]
29:34ABBY: Was Nia's solo amazing?
29:36No.
29:37I just hope it scores high enough to help us beat Cathy.
29:40ANNOUNCER: Up next, in our Junior Miss On Stage
29:42American competition, please welcome number 127, Kendall,
29:46dancing to "Owe You Nothing."
29:47[cheering and applause]
29:49[music playing]
29:57(SINGING) Oh, there you go, walking through that door.
30:05And you act like you've done nothing.
30:08But your hands show you got nothing for me.
30:13Time to take your lies and leave.
30:19[applause]
30:22ABBY: I'm very impressed with Kendall.
30:24I can't believe it.
30:25She strutted her stuff right on out there.
30:28She captured the judges.
30:29She had them in the palm of her hand.
30:31You know, their eyes never left Kendall.
30:35I think it was a good performance,
30:36and I think it's good enough to beat the other girls.
30:39ANNOUNCER: Up next to our stage, please welcome number 115.
30:42This is Chloe dancing to "Left in the Dark."
30:45[cheering and applause]
30:50[music playing]
31:01(SINGING) At night I fight my biggest battles,
31:06when the lights go down.
31:10I could cut worse than a razor blade.
31:14At night I'll take this whole town down
31:17and when I'm left in the dark, dark, dark, dark, dark, dark,
31:24dark dark, I tear myself apart, part, part, part, part, part,
31:33part, part.
31:36[cheering and applause]
31:38Chloe danced well.
31:39I'm just hoping it's good enough for a win
31:40because Abby only cares about winning.
31:42I don't know how the judges are going
31:44to score this routine, though.
31:45[applause]
31:47Now it is time for special awards.
31:49My third runner up goes to number 142, "Flying Solo,"
31:54Brianna.
31:55[cheering and applause]
32:00My second runner up goes to number 127, "Owe You Nothing,"
32:07Kendall.
32:08[cheering and applause]
32:12JILL: I'm happy with third place.
32:14Kendall listed the 9-12 year old age category,
32:17and she's beating children much older than her.
32:20ANNOUNCER: The first runner up for Junior Miss
32:22On Stage America goes to number 149,
32:28"I'm Going Love You Through It."
32:29[cheering and applause]
32:33CHRISTI: None of our girls are in second place.
32:35There's only one award left.
32:36And if it's not Chloe or Nia, Abby is going to freak out.
32:41ANNOUNCER: And the winner for Junior Miss on Stage America
32:46goes to--
32:47drumroll, please.
32:48[cheering]
32:52Number 131-A, "True Colors."
32:54[cheering and applause]
32:57ABBY: I have never been more disappointed with my team.
33:00Last week they were fourth, and now nobody even
33:03places except Kendall.
33:05And she's third.
33:07Nia, Chloe-- you picked the wrong week to choke.
33:10[door slams]
33:14Well, well, well.
33:16I didn't pick three soloists to come here,
33:18to put you in the competition for you not to do well.
33:24The thing that takes the work, the sweat--
33:28when is the last time that you went into a class
33:30and actually were dripping with sweat?
33:33When is the last time your feet were so blistery on the bottom
33:37that they were cracked open and bleeding?
33:39When was the last time that happened?
33:41That's a dancer.
33:42This group routine has to be perfect.
33:45Nobody better drop a hat.
33:48We need every point we can get if we have a chance
33:50to beat Cathy.
33:52And you all know how I get when Cathy shows up.
33:56That was an embarrassment.
34:03[music playing]
34:05[applause]
34:07Nobody placed in the solos except Kendall,
34:09and she was only third.
34:10These girls better do the group dance perfect.
34:14Think about Cathy beating us.
34:16Think about your reputation as the National Champions.
34:19We can't lose to Cathy-- not now, not ever.
34:22You got picked to do a job--
34:25to beat a bunch of girls who come out
34:27and do a whole lot of nothing.
34:29Don't embarrass yourself.
34:30More importantly, do not embarrass me out there.
34:33Come on, let's go.
34:34I love "Pink Lemonade."
34:36I think it's probably one of my favorite group dances
34:38I've ever seen the girls put together.
34:39I think it really has a lot of potential,
34:42but I don't know if it has potential
34:44to beat an all boys team.
34:46ANNOUNCER: Next up, please welcome number
34:48232-A, dancing to "Own It."
34:51[cheering and applause]
34:54[music playing]
35:07(SINGING) To know me is to feel the love, feel the--
35:11asteroid, outer space, moving at a fast pace.
35:15Timeline's down, down.
35:17Every breath you try to take.
35:19We gain sanity, split personality.
35:22Oh, oh, oh.
35:24Oh, oh, oh.
35:26Own it.
35:27See it.
35:28Dream it in the night.
35:29Your possessors of your mind.
35:31Move it here to bring you life.
35:33Own it.
35:34See you dancing in the yard, DJs mixing on the roof.
35:39One more shout out, then goodbye.
35:41We gained sanity, split personality.
35:45Own it.
35:46From the outside, looking in, grab the wheel and give a spin.
35:50It's your time.
35:51Go out and win.
35:53[cheering and applause]
36:02JILL: It is crowd appeal at its best.
36:05Are they working well together?
36:07No.
36:07Was the crowd going nuts?
36:09Yes.
36:10Were they better than our girls?
36:12I'm not so sure, at this point.
36:15ANNOUNCER: Up next to the stage, please welcome number 215,
36:18"Pink Lemonade."
36:20[cheering and applause]
36:27[music playing]
36:39(SINGING) Life's a soiree serving pink lemonade,
36:45a cascade of champagne.
36:50You and me.
36:54Life is a play and the star on Broadway is you.
37:09Just serve yourself--
37:17ABBY: There's Chloe's hat, right smack
37:20in front of the judges' face.
37:22(SINGING) --pink lemonade today.
37:36[cheering and applause]
37:44CHRISTI: I know the wrath of Abby's crazy,
37:48"I want to beat Cathy's all boy team,"
37:50behavior is going to come down on that one moment.
37:53And there's nothing I can do about it, and I feel helpless.
37:55Now my kid's going to get screamed at.
37:57They're all going to get screamed at.
37:58No, but pick on Chloe, especially.
38:00I can't stand it.
38:01I can't stand that I have to sit here and wait for this woman
38:03to come in here and berate us. - Good job!
38:05[applause]
38:07Just so you know, Abby is going to come in here,
38:10it's going to be awful.
38:14Nice job, Chloe!
38:16Huh?
38:17Nice job. - Let's go.
38:18We're leaving.
38:19You want Chloe gone, we're going.
38:20You get your way. You can have whoever you--
38:21Walks out, falls all over the place with the turns--
38:23CHRISTI: No, she didn't. - --and then drops her hat.
38:25Yes, she did. CHRISTI: No, she didn't.
38:26ABBY: Yes, she did. CHRISTI: You know what?
38:27You go ahead and replace me. I'm leaving.
38:29I'm not going to make a scene with you.
38:30ABBY: Oh, that's the easy way out.
38:31Right? - No.
38:32I'm done. I'm done.
38:33This is not what I signed up for-- humiliation
38:35for my daughter.
38:36I didn't humiliate her! CHRISTI: Yes, you did.
38:37She humiliated herself when she--
38:38Abby, shut up. ABBY: --fell out of the turn!
38:39CHRISTI: Shut up.
38:40Stop talking, now.
38:41Replace us, that's fine.
38:42Come on, Chlo.
38:43We're done.
38:45[chatter]
38:47CHRISTI: Get away from me!
38:50[ominous music]
38:53I thought besides somebody dropping their hat
38:56it was not bad.
38:58KELLY: I think that more is going on in Christi's head
39:00than just Abby yelling at Chloe for her losing her hat.
39:05I mean, there's been a lot going on this competition season.
39:07And I just think that we're all a little stressed right now.
39:10CHRISTI: Get away from me.
39:12Get away from me.
39:13See ya, Christi.
39:15I mean, what are you thinking?
39:16Am I going to reprimand Chloe?
39:17Am I going to tell her what she did wrong?
39:19You bet.
39:21Chloe, you just blew this.
39:23If we don't win, it's your fault for dropping the hat.
39:26ANNOUNCER: The next category is Junior Advanced Small Group.
39:29MELISSA: OK.
39:30Here we go.
39:32My second runner up, number 214, "The Lord
39:35of Gymnastics and Cheer."
39:37[applause]
39:38Separating my runner up and my winner is 1/10 of a point.
39:43Of course!
39:44If Cathy beats me again by 1/10 of a point--
39:55ANNOUNCER: Number 232-A, "Own It," from Candy Apples Dance
39:58Center.
39:59[cheering and applause]
40:01And the winner of the Junior Advanced Small Group
40:03goes to number 215.
40:05[cheering and applause]
40:09MELISSA: It was the best feeling in the world.
40:12I can't even tell you how good it felt to beat boys.
40:16Where do we dance, ladies?
40:17Abby Lee Dance Company!
40:21I'm really excited that we beat Cathy,
40:23but it's just not the same without Christi here.
40:25If Abby would've realized that Chloe dropping her hat
40:29didn't ruin the number, I just think the whole fight would've
40:31never happened.
40:32CHRISTI: I need a cab.
40:34Do you know where I can find a cab?
40:36Thank you.
40:37Abby gets her way.
40:38She's wanted to be gone for years,
40:40and she doesn't think Chloe has any kind of talent.
40:43But somebody out there is going to think she goes.
40:45All right, kiddo, let's go outside.
40:47[cheering]
40:51I'm so glad we beat them!
40:54CHRISTI: Come on.
40:55We did not sign up for this.
40:57I don't really think this is worth it anymore.
41:06ABBY (VOICEOVER): Next on "Dance Moms"--
41:07Did you come in the big crappy bus from Pittsburgh?
41:10Cathy, go to hell!
41:11Oh, you're just scared!
41:13You cannot talk to children like that.
41:15No, her.
41:17But we have to beat those kids.
41:19We have to.
41:20Cathy, no one wants you here.
41:22Just shut your mouth!
41:23JILL: Shut your mouth!
41:24Woo!
41:25ABBY: I didn't mean to do that.
41:26Because I didn't mean to do that, either.
41:29ABBY: That woman just hit me.
41:30JILL: Come on, bring it on!
41:32That's enough.
41:33Let's go outside.
41:34Get lost, bitch!
