0:01ABBY LEE MILLER (VOICEOVER): Previously on "Dance Moms."
0:02We will be attending In10sity Dance in Fort Lauderdale,
0:05Florida.
0:06Replace us, that's fine.
0:07Chloe is suspended.
0:08So is her mother.
0:10When I left, there was tension between Melissa and Abby.
0:13At the top of the pyramid, Maddie.
0:15And it's like I came back and everything is back to normal.
0:18Your highest scoring junior soloist, Maddie.
0:20[cheering]
0:22What happened there?
0:23A real friend would have picked up a phone.
0:25[bleep] you.
0:26[bleep] you.
0:27ABBY LEE MILLER (VOICEOVER): Coming up on "Dance Moms."
0:30Everywhere I look, there's memories of Baby,
0:33and I don't know if I want to leave you alone.
0:34We were just wondering if you heard from Abby or anything.
0:37No.
0:38Screwing with my choreography is very offensive.
0:42You were kicked out because she wasn't good enough.
0:45No, bitch, I left.
0:46You ran back over to that studio,
0:48and I see why they don't want you back,
0:49because your kid sucks.
0:52[MUSIC - NIKKO LOWE, "LIVING ON THE DANCE FLOOR"]
0:54(SINGING) Get up.
0:55Get on the floor.
0:57My world is with my girls living on the dance floor.
1:04[music continuing]
1:20Isn't there something that says
1:21if a teacher doesn't come within so many minutes, you can leave?
1:24We all walk into the studio for rehearsals today
1:27and everyone's like, oh, where's Abby?
1:28Where's Abby?
1:29And I'm all like, who the hell cares?
1:31Party.
1:35Hey, girls.
1:37OK.
1:39This is going to be a rough week for me.
1:41Broadway Baby passed away.
1:49She was lethargic and I knew something was wrong,
1:52but I just thought that she had eaten something that
1:55didn't agree with her and she was just kind of down and out.
1:58But it ended up being kidney failure.
2:02I mean, I know she's 16, but she's your kid.
2:05It's like your kid.
2:06It's hard.
2:07I mean, we--
2:08it's hard.
2:09I've never seen Abby look so sad.
2:10I mean, Baby really was her baby.
2:13And even though Abby and I clearly don't get along,
2:15I wouldn't wish this on her in a million years.
2:17I'm here.
2:18We need to get ready.
2:20We are going to St. Louis to Dance Expressions.
2:24It's a huge competition.
2:26I don't want to be here right now.
2:27I don't want to talk about it.
2:28I don't want to look at these kids, but this is what I do.
2:32So I put my game face on.
2:34I came back.
2:35I'm here.
2:36I need to get these kids ready for St. Louis.
2:39On the bottom, we have Paige.
2:42Paige, the reason you're on the bottom is the duet.
2:48We, all of us in this room, need to be confident in you,
2:52in your performance.
2:53Next on the pyramid is Brooke.
2:57Brooke, for you to get in the top five was good.
3:02For you not to win was bad.
3:04The fact that both of my kids are
3:05at the bottom of the pyramid makes
3:07me wonder if it's personal.
3:08Like is it because Abby doesn't like me?
3:10And next, Mackenzie.
3:14I thought for you to be doing the same choreography
3:17as a 14-year-old was great.
3:19Moving up.
3:20Next on the pyramid is Kendall.
3:23Kendall, I think you're good at evil.
3:25I thought you looked really good in the costume
3:27and I thought you went out there and you sold it.
3:30And next we have Nia.
3:33Nia, you're here because, again, your facial expressions, you
3:38told the story.
3:39And at the top of the pyramid once again, Maddie.
3:44You went out on that stage, you danced for your life,
3:48and you won.
3:49You stayed on top of this pyramid for another week.
3:51I'm so relieved that Maddie is back to being on top week
3:54after week.
3:55And I'm so glad that Abby has given
3:57her this opportunity again, and it's
3:59given her a lot of confidence.
4:00Chloe, just to make things perfectly clear,
4:03you are still on suspension.
4:05Understood?
4:06Moving on, the group routine, which Mackenzie is not in,
4:11it is called "My Dream Will Be Your Dream."
4:14Has a ton of ballet technique in it.
4:16So this story is going to be an epic love story.
4:20It's going to be beautiful and it's going to be entertaining.
4:24I think this piece, being this big, epic love story,
4:28is going to help me remember Baby.
4:30Anytime I walk into the studio, it's an escape.
4:34Helps me keep my mind off of other things.
4:36Now moms, I've taken care of the costumes.
4:39The headpieces are being made.
4:41Everything is ready to go.
4:44Now, we have some solos.
4:46Nia, you're going to be doing a solo.
4:49The name of your music is "Breaking My Heart."
4:51I'm really excited Nia has a solo.
4:54I just hope that she can take away some of Abby's grief
4:56and not add to it.
4:57Maddie, you're also going to have a solo.
5:00The name of your routine is "Showing You My Heart."
5:04Just one more thing I want to remind you of.
5:06St. Louis the home of Black Patsy.
5:10So Maddie and Nia, you're going to be going head to head
5:13with Nicaya.
5:14Black Patsy is this crazy mom who actually
5:17makes us call her Black Patsy.
5:19So what would you like us to call you?
5:21Black Patsy.
5:22You know who Patsy Ramsey is?
5:23JILL: Yeah.
5:24Crazy stage mom?
5:25JILL: That's you.
5:26Her daughter danced for the ALDC
5:28and they did not like us, to say the least.
5:31You want to watch your mouth because I ain't the rest
5:33of these dance moms. 'Cause I'm not a doctor like Holly.
5:35I'm from the hood.
5:37Believe that.
5:39Moms, I am begging you, no chaos.
5:43I have been through the ringer and back
5:47with this whole dog situation.
5:49I want a simple, easy weekend, okey doke?
5:53All right, I'm going to dismiss you know.
5:55Girls, spread apart and let's start our warm-up, please.
6:01Think of grandeur.
6:03Think of being in a ballroom at a black tie event
6:06with a beautiful, handsome man in a tuxedo.
6:09This is an epic love story.
6:12It's about a peasant girl who is sick
6:14and she's afraid that the illness is going
6:17to take her life and she'll be separated from the man she
6:19loves.
6:24I thought I was ready to be back.
6:26I thought I was stronger than this, but obviously I'm not.
6:29I want to go home.
6:31I want to be with my mom, and I want to be sad.
6:36I'm going to excuse myself.
6:41Work on that part, Maddie.
6:43Count it out.
6:44Abby is taking this mourning a little bit to the extreme.
6:47This is a dog.
6:51She just left us hanging.
6:53Well, I'm sure she's very sad.
6:55I know she is, Melissa, but life still goes on.
6:58Maybe the girls can make a big card for her.
7:00Maybe dedicate the dance to her.
7:03We could dedicate it to Baby.
7:05The girls would love that.
7:06I know it sounds crazy to change the group dance
7:08and pick a new song, but Abby's very vulnerable right now.
7:12And you rarely see that in her, so I
7:15want her to know that the moms are there for her.
7:17Here, listen.
7:18[music playing]
7:22It's kind of jazzy.
7:23We can do that.
7:25Jill plays us a song on her phone called "Beautiful Day,"
7:27and I really do love it.
7:29And I think it's a really good idea for the moms
7:31to express to Abby how sorry we are for her loss.
7:34I just don't think it's a good idea of changing Abby's routine
7:39or the music.
7:41Oh, I like it.
7:43I like it, too.
7:44Yeah, but I think that we do what Abby said.
7:46We're going to get in a lot of trouble.
7:48We are going to get in a lot of trouble.
7:49I don't know.
7:50I think Abby will really appreciate it.
7:51When's the last time Abby appreciated anything?
7:53I can't imagine Abby being OK with us changing her group
7:55dance direction, but at the same time,
7:57if she appreciates the tribute, I
7:59don't want all the girls to be involved except for Chloe.
8:01So fingers crossed that I don't get suspended again.
8:05OK, so we've got how many options?
8:06JILL: Three.
8:07I don't know if this actually goes with that music.
8:10We decided to go with a new song choice for the dedication
8:13for "Broadway Baby," and with that means new costuming.
8:17So we're going to have to come up with that.
8:19God help us all.
8:20I don't know, is this what we're supposed to be wearing?
8:22Who knows?
8:23It is now.
8:26So you want to think very southern, very bluesy,
8:31like that kind of a feel.
8:33I still can't believe you and Christi aren't talking.
8:35I did nothing wrong.
8:38But I was having a really bad week and a real friend
8:40have picked up a phone and call me.
8:42But if you can't answer my phone calls, then [bleep] you.
8:45[bleep] you.
8:46How long has it been now?
8:47You're like on the third week I think.
8:49Yeah.
8:50Christi and Abby got into a huge fight
8:51a couple weeks ago over Chloe dropping her hat,
8:54and then Christi got suspended.
8:56And I tried reaching out to her and I
8:58haven't talked to her since.
8:59I thought our friendship meant more than that.
9:02I really hope that you are able to talk
9:04about it this week.
9:05Pisses me off.
9:06Things are already pretty chaotic.
9:08The last thing we need is Christi and Kelly fighting.
9:12[music continuing]
9:29She was so cute and never hurt anybody.
9:33She made everybody smile.
9:37And what if something was wrong and I could have done something
9:40about it?
9:41I think maybe it was her time to go.
9:45I mean, she got sick in a day.
9:48It was that quick.
9:49I know.
9:51She kept me sane.
9:52She made everything OK.
9:56When I would come home from work upset or distraught
10:00over the mothers, or you just have a rough day at work
10:02and you come home, and they kiss you and they like you
10:06and then you're just--
10:11I wasn't here when she needed me.
10:13I was with somebody else's kids.
10:21[music playing]
10:26Hm.
10:27OK.
10:29That's kind of strange.
10:31OK, keep going.
10:32I am worried that Abby's not here.
10:34I mean, this is her studio and we need her here.
10:38God.
10:39She's a no show again.
10:41I understand Abby's still grieving,
10:43but we need her right now.
10:45We changed the group dance and song to a tribute
10:48for Broadway Baby, and on top of that,
10:51Black Patsy is going to be there.
10:52The last thing we need right now is to lose.
10:56Hello. It's so quiet out there.
10:57I know.
10:58You can hear a pin drop.
10:59Do dogs go to heaven?
11:01Yeah.
11:01Doggie heaven.
11:02Dogs totally going to heaven.
11:04Abby's probably hoping she goes to hell because that's
11:06where Abby is going to be.
11:08[laughs]
11:14What are you going to do?
11:15Everywhere I look, there's memories of Baby, everywhere.
11:20And I don't know if I want to leave you alone.
11:22That scares me.
11:24I think losing Baby so suddenly was a wake up call for me.
11:28My mom is all I have left.
11:30And if something happened to her while I
11:32was on the road with these kids, I would never forgive myself.
11:36Well, you have to go back to the studio and teach the kids.
11:39I mean, all those kids you have.
11:40I know, but they're so unappreciative.
11:42No, they're not.
11:43Yes, they are.
11:44They roll their eyes and they're all bratty,
11:47and my Baby never did that.
11:49I don't know if I can go back to the team or back to the studio
11:52even.
11:59I'm very sorry--
12:01Oh, look how nice.
12:03I know you--
12:04That looks really good.
12:05The girls made a card for Abby all on their own,
12:08and I think it was great that they wanted to show her
12:10how much they care.
12:11When I was in my private, Miss Abby
12:13was telling me that she was in such pain and stuff.
12:19Like she would carry her like a baby,
12:21and Baby kept throwing her head back.
12:23I've never seen Miss Abby so sad before,
12:25and she's been crying every day.
12:28So I think that this card will hopefully cheer her up.
12:32[music playing]
12:33Fabulous.
12:364, 5.
12:37Here we go.
12:38And 1, 2, 3.
12:41Watch those arms.
12:42So--
12:44We have Niyala again?
12:46Yeah, Abby's not here.
12:47Obviously, she has taken this mourning thing to extreme.
12:52Does anybody want to come down with me
12:54and find out Niyala knows anything about Abby?
12:57No.
12:58OK, we'll be back.
12:59We'll let you know what we find out.
13:00It's funny that Christi's still mad at me.
13:02I mean, Abby's dog died.
13:04We have no idea if she's coming to the competition.
13:06And she would rather be pouting and be mad at me
13:10than to go down and find out what's going on.
13:12NIYALA: Pull in.
13:13Second.
13:14Second.
13:15Sorry to interrupt.
13:17We try not to barge in or anything.
13:19We were just wondering if you've heard from Abby or anything?
13:23Not at all?
13:25Do you know if she'll be back before the competition?
13:27No.
13:29Oh god, we're screwed.
13:30[music continuing]
13:36Now, 1, up.
13:37[MUSIC - ELAINE FAYE, "GET BACK UP"]
13:38(SINGING) I woke up late for work today.
13:40Alarm must have passed away.
13:42Up, up.
13:43Down.
13:44Roll.
13:45Nicaya's doing a jazz solo to a song called "Get Back Up."
13:48It's about someone who's struggling and can't pay bills,
13:52just kind of being down and out and trying to figure out a way
13:55to come out of it.
13:57What I want to see in your solo is angst.
13:59You know, sad, struggle.
14:01This is hard.
14:02Don't dance like some rich kid from Pittsburgh.
14:05Try again.
14:06Go
14:07I feel like I have something to prove
14:08to Abby and those moms.
14:10There it is.
14:11They want to see me fail just to shut me up.
14:13I am so excited about meeting up with them again 'cause I got
14:16a lot I want to say to them.
14:18You got to point those feet, right?
14:20We can't give them any reason to question your technique.
14:23Let's go from the turn.
14:25Abby's big about those legs and feet,
14:26even though she can't see her own.
14:28[laughs]
14:31I think Abby thinks that people are intimidated or kind
14:33of jealous of her.
14:34Really, just trash with a title.
14:36I have no respect for her.
14:37So I want to just give her a piece of my mind.
14:39She's not better than me.
14:42[music continuing]
14:43NIYALA: Straighten that back knee.
14:511.
14:52Straight that bottom knee. Straighten it.
14:53Up. Up.
14:55Up.
14:55Good.
14:56I really like Nia's solo this week.
14:58The only thing is she's dancing with a hat,
15:01and that always makes me nervous because if you drop
15:03a hat on stage, Abby gets really upset.
15:05OK.
15:06You're going to put that hat on your head.
15:07You got to put it on your head so it doesn't fall off.
15:09I hope Nia doesn't wear that hat because I already lost
15:12one friendship over that hat.
15:14I don't want to lose another one.
15:16Kelly, you didn't lose a friendship over a hat.
15:17You lost a friendship because you
15:19tole me to go [bleep] myself.
15:20You admitted I called you the one time.
15:22You called me once.
15:23OK, well, why didn't you call me back?
15:24- You called me Friday. - Why didn't you call me back?
15:26Because you were on the bus with Abby.
15:27So what if I'm on the bus with Abby?
15:28Having a bad week.
15:30When you have a bad week, my god, I practically
15:32rock you, like are you OK?
15:34Just like I'm there for you guys all the time.
15:36- Yeah. - Yeah.
15:37Remember when I sat in the car for you, who was the biggest
15:39advocate to get you back on the team?
15:40Me. - I know that.
15:41That's why I was your biggest advocate when we were
15:43in the pyramid and stuff. - And you didn't even call me.
15:45I've always thought Kelly was my best friend,
15:46but I've seen her true colors.
15:48You know, if she's in need, she's a great friend,
15:51but if it's someone else, she could care less.
15:53And I don't know if I could forgive her for that.
15:55Whatever, Christi.
15:56I'm not going to sit here and fight with you about it.
15:57- OK. - It's not worth it.
15:59Clearly, our friendship isn't worth it.
16:01Clearly.
16:03At least now I know where I stand with you.
16:12I brought a donut for myself to eat.
16:14I want a donut.
16:21It was tough walking back into the studio, but I did it.
16:24Broadway Baby loved it here.
16:26She loved the kids, and I think she would
16:28have wanted me to be here.
16:31Hey, babe, how are you doing?
16:32Hi.
16:33Hi.
16:34How are you?
16:34Good.
16:35Hey, babe.
16:36Nothing makes me happier than working with Maddie,
16:39so I'm going to start with her solo.
16:42All right, Maddie, this is called "Showing You My Heart."
16:45Let's see what you have, all right?
16:48So you're still not going to talk to me?
16:50I tried to talk to you.
16:51You didn't answer your phone call.
16:57I don't even know what to say to her.
16:59Pretend I'm not even here, and I think that's the only way
17:01that it's going to work.
17:05[music playing]
17:06(SINGING) I'm showing you my heart.
17:07ABBY LEE MILLER: Hit it.
17:10Can't let that drop.
17:11You need to whack it.
17:14Christi was saying you guys were talking.
17:17It sounded like she's reaching out.
17:19She's mad because I'm not kissing her ass.
17:21What?
17:22At this point, I don't know if we can get past this.
17:24I mean, Christi acts like everything is about her.
17:27And it's not your world, Christi.
17:29Get over it.
17:30This up, up, down, down has to be bigger.
17:33You kind of just slumped through it.
17:34Give me a big, big, in, in.
17:38I'm nervous about Nia's solo this week.
17:40Abby has barely spent any time with her,
17:42and she's in direct competition from Nicaya.
17:44That's a lot of pressure for any kid.
17:47Ready, guys?
17:48I want to see that number, all right?
17:50This is their tribute dance, except Abby doesn't know it.
17:53No, and I wonder how she's going to react.
17:56All right, let's hear the music.
17:57[music - elize, "beautiful day"]
17:59(SINGING) Na-na na-na ay. na-na na-na ay.
18:00Do it.
18:01Look, look, look.
18:03She's finding out that it's not the music.
18:05That's not a look of pleasure or happiness.
18:07Whoa.
18:08This isn't the music.
18:10The girls wanted to do a tribute to you for Baby.
18:13They wanted to surprise you with this dance and the music.
18:18The girls or their mothers?
18:22JANEANE: Both of them.
18:24All right, that's not what I want.
18:28This is a beautiful number, not a pop song.
18:31If you want to be nice and do something out
18:33of the kindness of your heart, how about honoring my wishes?
18:36Janeane, you have to remember, the mothers know nothing.
18:39OK.
18:41You can't let them bulldoze over you.
18:43You need to stand your ground.
18:45She's changing everything.
18:46It's like everything we did this week, she's changing.
18:50Obviously, Abby doesn't want to do any work.
18:53She just wanted to come back, and she's still
18:54grieving, which I understand.
18:56OK, moms, come on down.
18:58Going behind my back, changing my music,
19:01changing the choreography, and now dumping this big, hot mess
19:03in my lap, what these moms are doing is not OK with me.
19:07Moms, it's been explained to me by the girls
19:10that this was your idea and this was your choreography.
19:15I'm being told that costumes I left that were ready,
19:17the headpieces that I had made that are all ready,
19:20and all my ducks in a row were blatantly disregarded.
19:23We just thought, since you were absent,
19:24we would step up and take charge.
19:27Screwing with my choreography and my choice of music
19:30and my costumes and my headpiece is very offensive.
19:34We all came up with some ideas for costumes.
19:36No, I don't want any more of your ideas.
19:38My kids are not going to that competition with some Bahama
19:42music in white bridal dresses.
19:44It's too bad that Abby can't see the beauty of what we're
19:47trying to do for her.
19:49And the cash.
19:50OK, you know what we're not doing?
19:53This number.
19:54We're going to use the music they want to use
19:56and the kids are going to improv.
19:57Since your mothers know best, you're going to improv.
20:01Hit Play.
20:02[music - elize, "beautiful day"]
20:03(SINGING) Na-na na-na ay.
20:04Na-na na-na ay.
20:06There's no way they're doing this.
20:08It's almost like Abby's doing improv
20:10because she wants to prove to us moms don't change her music.
20:15[laughs]
20:16I though the other one was better.
20:18Miss Abby had us do this like big improv section.
20:21It was definitely something unusual.
20:26Whoo.
20:29I have a big, hot mess on my hands.
20:30They need you to really work on the choreography
20:32that I left them.
20:33That didn't happen.
20:34All right, it does not look like we
20:35are ready to compete tomorrow.
20:41[music playing]
20:47We're here in St. Louis attending Dance Expressions
20:50Competition.
20:52Come on, girls, let's go.
20:54[cheering]
20:57Dance Expressions is a big competition in the Midwest.
21:01I'm going to have the girls improvise
21:04during the competition, and frankly, we are not ready.
21:10Well, hello.
21:11Hello.
21:12I knew it was St. Louis.
21:13I knew you'd be here.
21:14You had to expect that I would be here.
21:16This is my hometown.
21:19I'm so glad to see the bougie moms here in St. Louis is
21:21in my "hood" now.
21:23We've got Dr. Holly in the hood now.
21:25Hi, Dr. Holly.
21:27Hi, how are you?
21:29It's just too early in the day for all this.
21:31Don't be so quick to run.
21:32We'll be here all day.
21:33Dr. Holly, don't let me forget that 'cause she
21:35earned that title.
21:36She's so educated.
21:37Those letters don't mean a damn thing
21:39if you ain't doing nothing with it.
21:40Come girls.
21:41Break a leg, girls.
21:42Good luck.
21:43We don't need luck.
21:44You might.
21:46Sometimes competition days are filled with excitement and joy.
21:50Right here.
21:52This is not one of those competition days.
21:54Whoo.
21:55I'm worried about the group dance,
21:56and I'm also worried about the solo.
22:00Nia, come on out, honey.
22:01Let me see you in that.
22:03Ooh.
22:05I threw together a costume with very little guidance
22:08from Abby.
22:09Yeah, we need to take that off and see what else we have.
22:12HOLLY: I just tried to do my best,
22:13considering I was told to figure it out on my own.
22:15You have shorts cutting your legs,
22:17making your thighs horizontal.
22:19You have a waistband cutting your waist,
22:20making it horizontal.
22:22You want to draw your eyes up to your face.
22:23Holly, that looks really good.
22:25Thank you for appreciating it.
22:27Abby did not.
22:28Holly, do what you want.
22:30No, I'm taking it off.
22:31No, leave it on.
22:33If Holly wants to send her kid out on stage looking like that,
22:37be my guest.
22:37Come on, girls.
22:38If you're coming, let's go.
22:40[applause]
22:43As we're getting closer to Nia's solo,
22:45I'm worried if Nia has the confidence to dance on stage
22:49and dance well.
22:51ANNOUNCER: Up next is Nia, performing "Breaking My Heart."
22:54[applause]
22:58[MUSIC - CUT ONE, "BREAKIN' MY HEART"]
23:02(SINGING) You lead me down to the river.
23:06I watched it all begin to flow.
23:10I can't look back.
23:12I know that there's nowhere to go.
23:17Mm.
23:18You always treat me like an enemy.
23:21I've tried so hard to make you see that you can't keep
23:28breaking my heart, heart, baby.
23:30Yeah, you can't keep breaking my heart.
23:34No, you can't keep breaking my heart, baby.
23:38Oh, you can't keep breaking my, breaking my, breaking my heart.
23:45[applause]
23:51Nia's performance was great.
23:52She's doing her absolute best.
23:54There's nothing more I could ask of her to do.
23:58I'm not at all threatened by Abby Lee and her dance company.
24:01I just feel like they need to see some real competition.
24:02They're on my turf now, so they can see how we do things
24:05in the Midwest in St. Louis.
24:09ANNOUNCER: Coming on stage now is Nicaya with "Get Back Up."
24:12[cheering]
24:14Whoo.
24:15Diva 'tude.
24:17[MUSIC - ELAINE FAYE, "GET BACK UP"]
24:18(SINGING) I woke up late for work today.
24:21Alarm must have passed away.
24:22Either way I must say it's making for a bad, yeah.
24:26But it's hard when you're on luck.
24:28It's bringing me down.
24:30It's bringing me down.
24:32I need to get back up.
24:34I need to get back up.
24:37Right now.
24:38Right now, right now I'm finding it
24:44difficult to stand tall, back straight and hold my ground.
24:50I walk to the bus 'cause I can't afford a car.
24:53And the last couple blocks I walk and explore.
24:56Yeah.
24:57It's bringing me down.
24:59I need to get back up.
25:02I need to get back up.
25:05Right now.
25:08[applause]
25:13After seeing Nicaya perform on stage, I mean,
25:17if I was judging, I would say that Nicaya has regressed.
25:22ANNOUNCER: Up next on stage is Madison
25:24with "Showing You My Heart."
25:26[applause]
25:31[music playing]
25:36(SINGING) And showing you, asking you to love me
26:02all you see in me is to is he
26:25[applause]
26:33ANNOUNCER: Maddie would like everyone
26:34to know that her performance was dedicated to Broadway Baby.
26:40I had Maddie dedicate her solo to Baby because, you know,
26:45Abby and I are friends.
26:46I've babysat her dog several times,
26:48and I just thought it was the right thing to do.
26:56Really, Melissa?
26:57Like do you have to make everything about your kids?
27:01This was supposed to be something the whole group was
27:03doing.
27:13[music playing]
27:14[sighs]
27:16Oh my gosh.
27:17Like always a treat.
27:18Thank you so much for the dedication.
27:21I appreciate that announcement after Maddie's dance.
27:24Maddie's solo is exactly as I intended it to be--
27:30uplifting.
27:31It makes you feel good.
27:33And that is a tribute to Baby.
27:35Well, can I show you something?
27:39Oh, where did you get that?
27:42Dance for me.
27:43That was last week.
27:44I miss her so much.
27:45MELISSA: I know.
27:45She was my whole world.
27:47Imagine if you lost one of your kids.
27:48MELISSA: I would die.
27:50And she made everybody smile. MELISSA: I know.
27:52She never rolled her eyes at me.
27:53She didn't need braces. - I know.
27:54And when I said dance, she danced.
27:56I know.
27:57She made everybody smile.
27:59And Maddie, when she dances on stage, everybody smiles.
28:04I saw Abby crying.
28:06She didn't want the tribute from the whole group.
28:07She wanted nothing about it.
28:09When it's from Maddie, she cries.
28:12The whole point of having a tribute dance
28:14was that all the girls wanted to tribute something
28:16to Broadway Baby.
28:17You know, but here's Melissa, once again,
28:19trying to get her kid ahead by having Maddie's solo be
28:22dedicated to Broadway Baby, and forget about the rest of you.
28:24Where were you?
28:26I talked to Abby.
28:27I showed her that video.
28:30We had a question for you.
28:33Why did you go and have Maddie's dance
28:36dedicated to Baby and Abby when we wanted to do it as a group.
28:40After Abby specifically said, I don't want it.
28:43I don't--
28:44Like we wanted to do it as a group to be from all the kids
28:47and then you went and did it for just Maddie.
28:49I don't know.
28:51I just thought that I should do something special for her
28:54because I was really close with the dog.
28:56I mean, I babysat her quite a few times.
28:58I feel like you just take our information
29:01and use it to your advantage to get more on Abby's good side.
29:03You knew that we had a tribute dance plan and you went
29:06and you did a tribute dance for Maddie.
29:08It's not fair that Melissa somehow always manages
29:11to look better than the rest of us,
29:13and Chloe and all the other girls
29:15are the ones who end up paying the price, because of things
29:17just like this.
29:18We just want you to own up to it, Melissa.
29:21I don't think this is about the tribute.
29:23The moms are just mad that Abby and I are friends again
29:26and they just want Abby to treat me like she treats them.
29:30You always try to say like, oh, I'm so nice
29:32and I'm so sweet.
29:33I just love everybody.
29:35But I think that you would like kill us in our sleep
29:37if it meant your kids would get ahead.
29:40Hello.
29:41Good job, Nia.
29:43Congrats.
29:45There's a lot of tension in the air,
29:47and what we should be focusing on
29:48is the group dance that's coming up.
29:50Hey, Nia.
29:52Nice job.
29:54Very nice.
29:55Very nice.
29:56Yeah, so what did you think, huh?
29:58Huh?
30:01Good job.
30:02Was it nice to go out there and smile
30:03and just be pretty and just dance?
30:05Yes.
30:06And for you to dedicate your performance.
30:10I appreciate you.
30:12I'm really hurt that Abby thinks it's OK for Melissa
30:15to tribute Maddie's dance to Broadway Baby
30:18and none of the other girls were allowed to.
30:20I don't get it.
30:21So is this going to be a tribute dance?
30:23Because I misunderstood.
30:25No.
30:26We all wanted to do the tribute.
30:28She ended up being the only one to tribute her child's dance.
30:32She was close to my dog.
30:35But I still can feel sorry for you.
30:37I wish the moms just wouldn't fight with Abby
30:39and let her enjoy this tribute.
30:41Anything that I've tried to do to lift her spirits,
30:44they've squashed with their behavior.
30:46You watched my dog one day at the dance studio.
30:49That's right. This wasn't about that.
30:51My dog has been at Melissa's house and stayed there.
30:52She's watched it when I traveled and I've gone away.
30:54So you're saying it's OK for Melissa--
30:57basically she lies.
30:58I just can't get over the nerve of Jill
31:00and the rest of the moms.
31:02We have a group dance to worry about.
31:04Maybe the moms should concentrate on that instead
31:07of going after Melissa.
31:08Girls, I need you right here lined up
31:11or you will not be in the routine.
31:13Does anyone have an orange bottoms?
31:16Who else is in the yellow top?
31:17Does anyone have plain pink shorts?
31:20I felt really rushed.
31:21I mean, Abby scratched the dance the girls had prepared
31:24and now they're forced to do something last minute.
31:26I don't like to do things last minute.
31:28I like to be prepared.
31:29This is a feel good, pretty number
31:31to show off your beautiful technique,
31:33so don't go out and do the same bad arms
31:36that you've been told over and over and over are wrong.
31:39Let's go.
31:40We got to walk.
31:43This has been one of the toughest weeks of my life.
31:46I lost my Baby, and now I'm at this dance competition
31:50with the routine that I didn't choreograph
31:53and the kids are improving.
31:54We do the diagonal line.
31:55We do the rounded pli to the pyramid.
31:57We do the--
31:58I don't think we have a shot at winning this.
32:00[applause]
32:02ANNOUNCER: Taking the stage right now
32:04is the junior small group division.
32:06Here they are with "Beautiful Days."
32:08[applause]
32:09[music - elize, "beautiful day"]
32:11(SINGING) Na-na na-na ay.
32:12Na-na na-na ay ay.
32:15Na-na na-na ay.
32:17Na-na na-na ay ay.
32:19Na-na na-na ay.
32:21Na-na na-na ay ay.
32:24Na-na na-na ay.
32:26Na-na na-na ay ay.
32:28That was a good leap for Paige.
32:30(SINGING) Hey you, look up at the sun
32:33'cause it's shining for you.
32:35It's a beautiful day.
32:37It's a beautiful day.
32:39See a million colors and you'll feel brand new.
32:43It's a beautiful day.
32:46It's a beautiful day.
32:49Na-na Na-na ay.
32:51Na-na na-na ay ay.
32:54Na-na na-na ay.
32:56Na-na na-na ay ay.
32:58Yeah.
33:01[applause]
33:04It wasn't the best.
33:06I think some of the girls could have made better choices,
33:08but the technique looked good.
33:10We'll see what the judges say.
33:15ABBY LEE MILLER: Nia? BLACK PATSY: Yeah.
33:16ABBY LEE MILLER: No. BLACK PATSY: She was.
33:17ABBY LEE MILLER: Never noticed.
33:18I think you were wrong about that.
33:20I don't think so.
33:20I don't think so.
33:22BLACK PATSY: She has two left legs.
33:23I knew she was a leftie.
33:24I'm not engaging.
33:25Well why did you say something to begin with?
33:27I'm disengaging.
33:28Hm.
33:30For her to sit in the audience and critique somebody else's
33:33child is just plain wrong.
33:35ABBY LEE MILLER: That's very rude.
33:37So there can be two rude people here today.
33:39There's enough rudeness for everybody.
33:40If you're going to critique something,
33:41you would have known-- - I'm going.
33:43--that she was just a whole beat ahead of everybody.
33:45You didn't let Patsy run you out of here, did you?
33:48If she thinks that she ran me out of that auditorium,
33:50she better think again.
33:52I gracefully exited.
33:54It's easy for her to dish it out and go off on everybody,
33:56but when somebody tell her something,
33:58she don't want to hear it. That's a punk move right there.
34:00And I see Kendall, 'cause that was my first time really
34:02watching her, and she can't dance, either.
34:04Kendall, no.
34:05[laughs]
34:07All of a sudden, Black Patsy moves on from Nia to Kendall
34:11and starts trash talking her.
34:12Did you hear that?
34:13She just said Kendall can't dance.
34:16Who said that?
34:17It's obvious that Black Patsy is just jealous of Kendall
34:19because she replaced Nicaya on Abby's team.
34:22That little girl cannot dance.
34:24Your daughter cannot dance.
34:25I thought Nia was the one that had to work her way up.
34:29Nia dances circles around your kid.
34:30Well, you know what's funny?
34:31We said the same thing about your little girl.
34:33Bitch, you don't want to go there with me.
34:36I will show your ass hood.
34:42That little girl cannot dance.
34:43Your daughter cannot dance.
34:44I thought Nia was the one that had to work her way up.
34:46Nia dances circles around your kid.
34:49You know what's funny?
34:50We said the same thing about your little girl.
34:52I'm not going to sit back and let this woman bad mouth
34:56my child and say all this [bleep] that isn't true.
34:59I walked in your recital, got right on stage,
35:01and danced with your "elite" dancers.
35:03You were kicked out because she wasn't good enough.
35:05No, bitch, I left.
35:07You ran back to that studio and I see
35:08why they didn't want you back, because your kid sucks.
35:11Does that make you feel good?
35:13Bitch, you don't want to go there with me.
35:14I will show your ass hood.
35:15Who started this?
35:17You don't want to--
35:18Who started this?
35:20I just thought it was hysterical to see Jill trying
35:22to get like all hood rat.
35:24Shut your big mouth and I'll tell you who started it.
35:28Shut the blank up.
35:30And Black Patsy's all like, F y'all.
35:32I'm like, whoa, whoa.
35:34OK, stop. stop.
35:35Stop.
35:36[arguing]
35:39Stop.
35:40I apologize on behalf of the Abby Lee Dance Company.
35:44You're a punk, Abby.
35:45Apologize for that.
35:46Where is my daughter?
35:48We are not a part of that, and I am very, very sorry
35:51that this happened and the children had to hear that.
35:54[applause]
35:56I'm done talking.
35:57I'm disengaging, like Dr. Holly said.
35:59[bleep] y'all. [gasps]
36:01I really hope to never, ever, ever come across that woman
36:05again.
36:06Bitch is what she is.
36:08Where were you guys?
36:09Come on.
36:11I really wish you guys could have stuck up for me.
36:13Jill was all mad that the moms wouldn't jump in,
36:15but I was really worried that Black Patsy was going
36:17to pull up my weave.
36:18I-- I--
36:20She's speechless.
36:20This one's speechless.
36:22You know, Kelly, I was actually looking at you
36:24and I'm going, come on.
36:25Come on.
36:26But I couldn't fight because I didn't--
36:28I was trying to get you because I wasn't letting her go
36:31down. I'm like, come on.
36:32You're not doing anything, and I'm like--
36:33Maybe that's my way to join in.
36:35We are partners in crime.
36:37Oh my god, Kelly, I need you.
36:40I miss so many things with Kelly.
36:41I just miss knowing that someone has my back.
36:43And clearly, you know, Kelly and I need each other,
36:45because when we're separated, we don't have the forces to fight
36:48evil.
36:49But I need you to be my friend because we
36:51can fight evil forces.
36:52Like I lost my mojo.
36:53I've got nothing.
36:54[applause]
36:57First of all, we're going to start the awards in just
36:59a second.
37:00But I want to address something that happened here
37:03just briefly.
37:05For those of you that were out in the hallway
37:09during the incident, I want to sincerely apologize
37:13for the Expressions Dance and myself.
37:15These ladies are a bunch of rich bitches.
37:17That's what they are.
37:18ANNOUNCER: That type of behavior is not tolerated.
37:21That person was removed from the competition.
37:23[applause]
37:26Thank you very much.
37:29If I do come back, these moms better watch out.
37:32It's a shame that Patsy couldn't control her temper
37:36and now she's gone.
37:37Nicaya doesn't even get to see the awards.
37:40It's a tight competition.
37:41She could have placed, but now she'll never know.
37:44Now, on to the fun stuff.
37:46All right, ladies and gentlemen, we
37:48are going to start with our judges awards first.
37:52Judges award for fiercest costume.
37:54Lots of costumes stood out to me today,
37:56but what I loved about this costume
37:58was the way the dancer worked it with such confidence.
38:00Congratulations, number 25.
38:02[cheering]
38:03Nia.
38:06And who made your costume?
38:08Well, my mom made my costume.
38:11Congratulations.
38:12Take that, Abby.
38:14ANNOUNCER: We have our top soloists.
38:17In third place, with a score of 278.4 points, entry number 25.
38:24[cheering]
38:29Nia got third.
38:30HOLLY: I am unbelievably proud of Nia this week.
38:33She scored third overall.
38:35And it was a chaotic week, filled with emotion, pressure
38:37from Patsy, but Nia held her head up high
