  34. 1:26It's a record. Get undressed and start
  35. 1:29stretching.
  36. 1:30Hi guys.
  37. 1:32Brooke, you can drive all the way here
  38. 1:34and you can't get that hair in a bun?
  39. 1:38Hi guys. Hi. Have you guys seen Christi?
  40. 1:41Is she out there? Is she coming?
  41. 1:42I think she's mad at me. Cuz I said
  42. 1:44something about the hat. Which is crazy.
  43. 1:46It is. I mean, we all saw the hat.
  44. 1:48Every week somebody messes up in a group
  45. 1:51dance. Well, I wonder if Christi's not
  46. 1:53coming. I find that hard to believe.
  47. 1:55Christi's never left before.
  48. 1:57Nice job, Chloe.
  49. 1:59Huh?
  50. 2:01Nice job.
  51. 2:01We're leaving. You want Chloe gone?
  52. 2:03We're gone. You go ahead and replace me.
  53. 2:04I'm leaving. I'm not going to make a
  54. 2:06scene with you.
  55. 2:06the easy way out, right?
  56. 2:07No. I'm done. I'm done. This is not what
  57. 2:09I signed up for.
  58. 2:10At some point, we have all threatened to
  59. 2:12leave and storm out, and she's never
  60. 2:14done that. We're back at Abby's. Another
  61. 2:16week, another competitions looming. No
  62. 2:19Kristie, no Chloe.
  63. 2:21Maybe you'll have a spot on the pyramid,
  64. 2:22Brooke. I don't want to dance without
  65. 2:24Chloe. Aw. I don't have my Chloe power.
  66. 2:27Your Chloe power?
  67. 2:37Come on, ladies. Let's go. Let's go.
  68. 2:38Let's go.
  69. 2:44All right.
  70. 2:45Last week, you walked in here and you
  71. 2:47were losers.
  72. 2:49Fourth place.
  73. 2:50Today, you're winners. You walk in here
  74. 2:52like, "Woohoo! We won."
  75. 3:01And that's all fine and dandy, but uh
  76. 3:03let's be realistic. You won by a tenth
  77. 3:06of a point. I don't want the Abby Lee
  78. 3:08Dance Company to be just 1/10 of a point
  79. 3:12ahead of the who you beat. I don't want
  80. 3:14it.
  81. 3:15I want you to be 30 points ahead, or 20
  82. 3:17points ahead, or 10 points, or for
  83. 3:19goodness' sakes, one whole point.
  84. 3:22Can we be one whole point above the next
  85. 3:24group? Abby,
  86. 3:26do you know where Kristie and Chloe are?
  87. 3:28I'm dealing with that.
  88. 3:30Let's do something a little different
  89. 3:31today. And then, I'm going to start at
  90. 3:33the top.
  91. 3:34Finally, for the first time ever,
  92. 3:38Kendall is at the top of the pyramid.
  93. 3:41You're on top of the pyramid. Hello,
  94. 3:43Nina.
  95. 3:44Kendall, you beat a lot of great people.
  96. 3:46One of them was Chloe.
  97. 3:48Seeing Kendall at the top of the pyramid
  98. 3:50makes all this hard work and all the
  99. 3:52fighting worth it. I'm so happy right
  100. 3:55now. Jill,
  101. 3:57I think you just made an enemy. I don't
  102. 3:58think Kristie can handle your 9-year-old
  103. 4:01beating her 11-year-old who is a
  104. 4:03national title holder right now.
  105. 4:06I think you need to watch out.
  106. 4:08Next,
  107. 4:10Maddie.
  108. 4:12I'm not going to tell you you are
  109. 4:13amazing. I don't think you are.
  110. 4:16And then moving on,
  111. 4:18Nia.
  112. 4:20Nia, you went out.
  113. 4:22Your arms were pretty.
  114. 4:24Started off strong.
  115. 4:27Fizzled.
  116. 4:28Next,
  117. 4:30I have Paige.
  118. 4:32Paige,
  119. 4:33I don't want to go over and over things
  120. 4:35in class. I want to tell you one time
  121. 4:39and I want you to do it. And next,
  122. 4:43Mackenzie.
  123. 4:45Tell me what you did because
  124. 4:47I heard that you were in the audience
  125. 4:49watching, but I saw you sleeping in the
  126. 4:51dressing room. You're like dead weight
  127. 4:53coming along with us. We don't need you
  128. 4:55there.
  129. 4:56Obviously, on the bottom of the pyramid
  130. 4:58is Chloe. Chloe
  131. 5:01made a mistake.
  132. 5:03I told you all not to drop your hat.
  133. 5:07Dropped your hat.
  134. 5:17Chloe is suspended.
  135. 5:19So is her mother. Her behavior
  136. 5:23was deplorable. Abby, shut up. Shut up.
  137. 5:26Stop talking now. Replace us. That's
  138. 5:28fine. Come on, Chloe. We're done.
  139. 5:31Get away from me.
  140. 5:32I do not want her anywhere near the
  141. 5:34studio.
  142. 5:36She was an embarrassment to the Abby Lee
  143. 5:38Dance Company and to all of you. Abby,
  144. 5:41how long is she sus- What does that
  145. 5:42mean? It's I don't know how long. I
  146. 5:44would like to know how long it's going
  147. 5:45to take to get Brooke back on the
  148. 5:46pyramid?
  149. 5:48Funny you should mention that.
  150. 5:55You might want to send Chloe a thank you
  151. 5:57note cuz her mother just bought you a
  152. 5:59spot on the pyramid.
  153. 6:01This weekend we are going to Star Power
  154. 6:04International Talent Competition in
  155. 6:06Detroit, Michigan.
  156. 6:07Is there a studio from Ohio going all
  157. 6:10the way to Detroit?
  158. 6:11Yes, there is.
  159. 6:14Cathy is coming back for you, big time.
  160. 6:17I can't believe Cathy's coming this
  161. 6:19weekend. I really wanted to revel and
  162. 6:21enjoy that Kendall's at the top of the
  163. 6:23pyramid. She's going to get special
  164. 6:25attention, and now I have to deal with
  165. 6:28Cathy, the Wicked Witch of Ohio. We have
  166. 6:31a group routine. Everybody's in it. I am
  167. 6:34down one dancer.
  168. 6:35I cannot afford any weak links.
  169. 6:39Kendall, you will be doing a solo again
  170. 6:41this weekend.
  171. 6:45Paige, I'm going to give you a duet with
  172. 6:48Nia.
  173. 6:51Now last week you thought your good
  174. 6:53wasn't good enough. This is your chance.
  175. 6:56Don't blow it. I have one more routine
  176. 6:58left. Maddie, you will be doing a solo
  177. 7:01this week.
  178. 7:03Don't be so elated.
  179. 7:05It's like a default, like by process of
  180. 7:07elimination. I need somebody that's
  181. 7:09going to win. And you can bet that that
  182. 7:11boys' group,
  183. 7:12one of those boys is going to BE DOING A
  184. 7:14SOLO.
  185. 7:15It's been so long since Maddie's had a
  186. 7:17solo. I hope the added pressure of the
  187. 7:19boys and Cathy's team doesn't rattle
  188. 7:22her. Everybody needs to be outstanding.
  189. 7:25Moms,
  190. 7:26we can't lose.
  191. 7:29We won't lose. You guys go out there on
  192. 7:32that stage
  193. 7:33and screw up and we don't win,
  194. 7:35I might replace everybody.
  195. 7:38If I can suspend Chloe,
  196. 7:40I can suspend you, too.
  197. 7:43Does everybody understand?
  198. 7:45Cathy is not going to get the best of me
  199. 7:47with all these boys.
  200. 7:48All right, mom should dismiss. Guys,
  201. 7:50spread apart. Let's go. Gianna, I want
  202. 7:52you to bring in the prop.
  203. 8:00All right, girls. So, you understand,
  204. 8:03Nia, that you are the wallflower. And
  205. 8:06Paige is the wild child. My duet this
  206. 8:09week is called the wild child and the
  207. 8:11wallflower. I play the wallflower. I'm
  208. 8:13kind of shy and quiet, kind of how I am.
  209. 8:17Twist and lunge off the chair this way.
  210. 8:21Boom. Twist, but you're not going to
  211. 8:22stand all the way up. You're not going
  212. 8:24to stand up. You're just going to kind
  213. 8:25of shh
  214. 8:27Yes. Boom.
  215. 8:29So, do you think Nia is excited about
  216. 8:31the duet? Oh my goodness, she is
  217. 8:33thrilled, but at the same time, Nia is
  218. 8:36very nervous about it, too. Why? Well,
  219. 8:39when Nia gets stressed,
  220. 8:42she can have a tendency of having a
  221. 8:44relapse with her pain management
  222. 8:45disorder.
  223. 8:46So, do you think it's stress-related,
  224. 8:47then?
  225. 8:47It's usually stress-related. Stressful
  226. 8:49situations will trigger that. And
  227. 8:51there's You don't have an injury. Like,
  228. 8:52that's the whole kicker of the thing.
  229. 8:54Nia suffers from a neurological disorder
  230. 8:56called reflex neurovascular dystrophy or
  231. 8:59RSD, and there's a direct correlation to
  232. 9:01stress. So, when Nia is in a stressful
  233. 9:03environment, I get very concerned.
  234. 9:06That is strange.
  235. 9:07very, very strange. But, they say
  236. 9:09there's a certain type of kid that may
  237. 9:11be predisposed to having a kid who is
  238. 9:14like a perfectionist, the type A kind of
  239. 9:16personality, overachiever kind of kids.
  240. 9:19Oh, really? Is that what the
  241. 9:21Isn't that weird?
  242. 9:22I'm surprised Maddie doesn't have a Shut
  243. 9:24up, Melissa. Does everything have to be
  244. 9:26about your child? I just wish Kristie
  245. 9:28was here, cuz she would have something
  246. 9:29funny to say and make us all laugh.
  247. 9:31There are just kids who are predis-
  248. 9:34predisposed to it.
  249. 9:35But, she can have this for the rest of
  250. 9:37her life. It's one of those things that
  251. 9:38she'll have forever. And it's not been
  252. 9:40for 2 years.
  253. 9:41for Yeah, it's been 2 years without it.
  254. 9:44Oh god, well, please don't make it
  255. 9:45happen over a duet. Well, I I wouldn't.
  256. 9:47It's not the duet.
  257. 9:48There's
  258. 9:50It's not the duet. She likes the idea of
  259. 9:52the duet. It's the idea of failure. Put
  260. 9:54your foot behind the chair.
  261. 9:58Go again. Nia!
  262. 10:00This is the third time I'm yelling at
  263. 10:02you about something ridiculous.
  264. 10:04Oh, now she's yelling at her.
  265. 10:06That's not going to be helpful. So,
  266. 10:08Holly, tell me about Nia's toe. After
  267. 10:11dance yesterday, thought, you know what?
  268. 10:13Let me just take her to the ER and be
  269. 10:15done with it. Nia's been complaining
  270. 10:16recently of her foot hurting, and
  271. 10:18because she has CRND, we take pain very
  272. 10:21seriously. And I have to be sure whether
  273. 10:24this is a pain related to injury or is
  274. 10:26this a pain related to stress.
  275. 10:28Obviously, she's in some discomfort, and
  276. 10:31she injured her toe. Like, there's no
  277. 10:32question about that, but they said
  278. 10:34there's it's not fractured. They don't
  279. 10:36worry about it. She'll be fine. So, you
  280. 10:39need to get your brain in your head. I'm
  281. 10:40speaking English. You know English.
  282. 10:42Let's do it.
  283. 10:51So, how is everybody? Good.
  284. 10:53Mom, it looks like you're outnumbered
  285. 10:56now. We have all of these handsome
  286. 10:57gentlemen that are standing with us. So
  287. 10:59happy to see all of you. Listen, we're
  288. 11:01going to Detroit this weekend because
  289. 11:04guess who we're going to go try and
  290. 11:06find. Abby. What do you guys think about
  291. 11:09what happened last time? Um we got We
  292. 11:11got ripped off.
  293. 11:13You
  294. 11:14really dropped Abby to her knees.
  295. 11:17She Well, maybe she's not able to drop
  296. 11:20to her knees, but maybe her cankles
  297. 11:22shouldn't
  298. 11:23But, nonetheless,
  299. 11:25you set her up, and it was great.
  300. 11:27Let's see who is
  301. 11:30going to hit the perfect pyramid.
  302. 11:33First we have
  303. 11:36Brandon.
  304. 11:37Brandon brings to the board amazing
  305. 11:40technique. Next
  306. 11:43Jaylen.
  307. 11:44Jaylen, Jay Jaylen's move to the middle.
  308. 11:47Next
  309. 11:49we have Zach.
  310. 11:51Zach, I think your extensions are to die
  311. 11:54for. Thank you.
  312. 11:56So at the top and also doing a solo this
  313. 11:59week is my hot young lad from Miami,
  314. 12:03Gino.
  315. 12:05So with that being said, number two
  316. 12:07tries harder. So I need game faces on.
  317. 12:10We are not a dance team that takes off
  318. 12:12their hats and the curls come tumbling.
  319. 12:15We are an army.
  320. 12:16Ready for war. GOOD.
  321. 12:19GOOD. I like that.
  322. 12:30On a one to 10, 10 being the highest,
  323. 12:33one being the lowest, what's the pain in
  324. 12:35this foot right now? It would be a
  325. 12:37seven. A seven's
  326. 12:39too high for me cuz that means you're
  327. 12:42feeling pain while you're dancing and
  328. 12:44you're feeling pain more often than not.
  329. 12:48Nia has been treated for RND, which is
  330. 12:50reflexive neurovascular disorder, which
  331. 12:53is basically a pain management disorder.
  332. 12:55Three summers ago, Nia woke up with
  333. 12:58excruciating pain. Nia couldn't walk.
  334. 13:00Nia was in a wheelchair. She was
  335. 13:02hospital bound. Came on suddenly. Nia
  336. 13:05was basically out of dance. My sense is
  337. 13:08that it it reminds me when you were back
  338. 13:10in the hospital. Is that scaring you a
  339. 13:12little bit? Yeah. Nia had managed her
  340. 13:14pain really well on a regular basis.
  341. 13:17But if she's in a stressful situation
  342. 13:20it can become inflamed. What do you
  343. 13:23think is stressing you out in
  344. 13:23particular?
  345. 13:25I'm just kind of afraid my best isn't
  346. 13:27good enough right now.
  347. 13:29You can't give up. You more than anyone
  348. 13:32else on that team deserves a spot
  349. 13:33because you worked 10 times as hard. No
  350. 13:37one else on that team was in a
  351. 13:38wheelchair. You didn't know if you were
  352. 13:39ever going to dance and now you're
  353. 13:41dancing.
  354. 13:42You owe that to yourself. Okay?
  355. 13:46Every day Nia wakes up,
  356. 13:48she proves to me that this is a kid
  357. 13:51who's a fighter. She's a kid who wants
  358. 13:55to live every moment of her life to the
  359. 13:57fullest. What do you think about the
  360. 13:59duet? You excited?
  361. 14:01I like seeing that light in your eyes.
  362. 14:04You look happy.
  363. 14:06You look excited about it.
  364. 14:08I think for a moment you forgot
  365. 14:11about your pain in your foot.
  366. 14:13And you remembered the joy of just
  367. 14:15dancing.
  368. 14:16I'm proud of you.
  369. 14:221 2 3 uh 4 uh 5 6 7 8 uh 1. I wonder
  370. 14:27what Chrissy like I wonder what she's
  371. 14:28doing now like in my free time.
  372. 14:29taking a bubble bath with a candle lit,
  373. 14:32having a glass of wine.
  374. 14:34maybe take some cooking classes. Oh god.
  375. 14:38Don't let your feet fly around.
  376. 14:42We're doing a group routine called
  377. 14:43Avalanche. It's about burying them
  378. 14:46alive.
  379. 14:47So we have these sharp little ski
  380. 14:49bunnies trekking up the mountain,
  381. 14:52propelling down the mountain. Somebody
  382. 14:54misses a step.
  383. 14:56There's an avalanche, everybody drops
  384. 14:59like flies. Wow, did you see that?
  385. 15:02I never saw that.
  386. 15:04That's all new stuff.
  387. 15:05Watch out boys, the girls are coming to
  388. 15:07get you. Wouldn't it be great if we
  389. 15:11two times in a row. And why don't you
  390. 15:13get up on the prop?
  391. 15:15Where is the problem? I told your
  392. 15:17mothers to get that problem. Where's the
  393. 15:19prop?
  394. 15:21Let's get that prop.
  395. 15:22I'll go and look for the prop. Melissa,
  396. 15:24you know where it is. We have a very
  397. 15:25large, white, heavy, wooden prop, and
  398. 15:28it's going to serve as our mountain. And
  399. 15:30the survivor of the avalanche runs up to
  400. 15:33the top of that mountain and looks back
  401. 15:35at all the people that are no longer
  402. 15:37with her. So, this is like the mountain,
  403. 15:40and you're trying every which way to get
  404. 15:41up it. I'm just not getting anything
  405. 15:43from you guys. I need a kid
  406. 15:46like that's going to think outside the
  407. 15:47box. Can you slide through there?
  408. 15:49Oh, look. Look.
  409. 15:50Look. Oh my god, she's the only skinny
  410. 15:52one who can fit through there.
  411. 15:54What is that?
  412. 15:55Look how beautiful she looks. Even
  413. 15:57playing dead, she's beautiful. We wanted
  414. 16:00somebody to be found like they were
  415. 16:02dead, and I said, "Who can I make blue?"
  416. 16:05And Dee said,
  417. 16:06"Paige would be the easiest to just
  418. 16:08because she's the fairest." I don't want
  419. 16:10her painted blue. Yeah, that's what the
  420. 16:12girls were saying. I don't want her
  421. 16:13painted blue. Hello.
  422. 16:16Hello. It's about time you got back
  423. 16:18here. Well, she shot me. Did you see
  424. 16:19that? All right, listen. I want to hear
  425. 16:21all about everything, but right now, we
  426. 16:24have a group routine to do, and I'm down
  427. 16:26a person, so you're in the group.
  428. 16:27Unbeknownst to me,
  429. 16:29Jackie and Sophia show back up in
  430. 16:31Pittsburgh. But, you know what? I told
  431. 16:33Jackie, "Anytime that Sophia is
  432. 16:35available and wants to be part of the
  433. 16:37Abby Lee Dance Company competition team,
  434. 16:39she's more than welcome." All right,
  435. 16:41Sophia, welcome to the avalanche. Yeah,
  436. 16:44we didn't know you were coming. Now that
  437. 16:46Jackie and Sophia show up, I'm not real
  438. 16:48thrilled that they're here. Um, I'm just
  439. 16:51hoping that, you know, Sophia doesn't
  440. 16:53take Maddie's solo away.
  441. 16:55So, was this a surprise for Abby? Did
  442. 16:56she know you were coming? We've been
  443. 16:58trying to come back um for a few weeks
  444. 17:00now, and then it just becomes like such
  445. 17:02short notice, and I'm like, "Oh, I'll
  446. 17:03try." And then something will come up,
  447. 17:05and I'll be like, "I can't." And so, I
  448. 17:06think she was disappointed, and I was
  449. 17:07actually afraid that she'd be upset with
  450. 17:09me. I'm sure anytime you arrive, she
  451. 17:11would be welcome you with open arms.
  452. 17:13Sophia does movies and commercials and
  453. 17:15things like that, and I have been
  454. 17:17wanting to get Jackie alone to ask her
  455. 17:19for some of her contacts that maybe I
  456. 17:22can contact them and see if they would
  457. 17:24be interested in my kids.
  458. 17:25I've actually been meaning to call you.
  459. 17:27I have Well, Brooke likes to sing and
  460. 17:29Paige likes to do modeling and
  461. 17:32I want to try to get like their name out
  462. 17:34there and I want to get some contacts
  463. 17:35out in LA and stuff.
  464. 17:36Oh, yeah. Yeah. And I didn't know if you
  465. 17:37would be able to get me Yeah, I'll give
  466. 17:39you a few of these agents' number. I
  467. 17:40think Jackie is a really nice lady and
  468. 17:43you know, we seem to have a lot in
  469. 17:44common. We both want our kids to do more
  470. 17:47than just dance. We want them,
  471. 17:50you know, to get further in this career.
  472. 17:52It's been a crazy week. I feel so bad
  473. 17:54about all this crap with Christi. You
  474. 17:56know, all I did was say her hat dropped.
  475. 17:58It wasn't like Yeah.
  476. 18:00No, I feel bad for you. I'm sorry. It's
  477. 18:02been crazy here. My god, like Maddie
  478. 18:04hasn't had a solo since you've been
  479. 18:06gone.
  480. 18:06Are you serious? Mhm. I just think like
  481. 18:09with Christi and Melissa, they have
  482. 18:11something to lose by Sophia being here.
  483. 18:13I don't think that they they shouldn't
  484. 18:14think that way. Like you're a threat to
  485. 18:16them. Where's Kelly? She's schmoozing
  486. 18:18with her new BFF.
  487. 18:20I think she's taken her place.
  488. 18:22Jackie's taking Christi's place. And
  489. 18:24she's our drinking buddy. I guess we
  490. 18:27don't They don't want us.
  491. 18:30Let's go to lunch now. I'm excited. That
  492. 18:31sounds good. Yeah. We still never had
  493. 18:33our drink.
  494. 18:41I want you to dazzle me more
  495. 18:44than you did the last time. This weekend
  496. 18:46the routine that the boys are doing is
  497. 18:48called top of the world. They are doing
  498. 18:50jazz, hip hop, acrobatic, and there's a
  499. 18:54lot of personality involved. They're
  500. 18:55ultimately telling a story in this
  501. 18:57dance. And I think that those kind of
  502. 18:59dances are the ones that usually are the
  503. 19:02most captivating.
  504. 19:04They're all kind of looking at a
  505. 19:05magazine that they got. So, they're
  506. 19:07dancing with a magazine and just oogling
  507. 19:10over this girl that they wish that they
  508. 19:11could have as a girlfriend.
  509. 19:13Fine, it's got to be stage personality.
  510. 19:16Keep motivated.
  511. 19:24Face it.
  512. 19:28That's seven in.
  513. 19:36Even though our team has just come
  514. 19:38together, there's already a bond,
  515. 19:41there's already a unity. I like the
  516. 19:42boys, they like me. But overall, it's
  517. 19:45kind of fun to be surrounded by dance
  518. 19:47dads, so I'm just feeling confident now.
  519. 19:50Okay, so
  520. 19:52it looked good, did it look great? No.
  521. 19:55No, not even close. It looked better by
  522. 19:58a tenth of a point. It looked better. I
  523. 20:01get it. Yeah, good. I'm glad you got it.
  524. 20:03I want you guys to go have lunch,
  525. 20:06and I want you to get fueled back up,
  526. 20:08and I want you to come back in here to
  527. 20:09work harder than you did this morning.
  528. 20:12Okay.
  529. 20:12Okay? Mhm.
  530. 20:21So, you excited to be back?
  531. 20:23What do you think about the solo? I like
  532. 20:25it. You like it?
  533. 20:26When we arrived, I found out that Abby
  534. 20:28wanted to give Sophia a solo. I knew
  535. 20:29that she could pick up the choreography
  536. 20:31and that she would be fine, but I was
  537. 20:32worried that if Abby did give her one,
  538. 20:34that there would be, you know, tension
  539. 20:36and I didn't want to have that. Hey, so
  540. 20:38you know how Abby said she's going to
  541. 20:39tell the moms about what was going on
  542. 20:42with the solos, how somebody's not going
  543. 20:44to have a solo this week, and she gave
  544. 20:46it to you. I know it's like really
  545. 20:48uncomfortable cuz we normally would
  546. 20:50never do that, like ever. So, just let
  547. 20:53Abby handle it, and um
  548. 20:55I don't know who she's taking it away
  549. 20:56from, and I feel awful. So, whenever we
  550. 20:59find out, make sure that you go over and
  551. 21:01you say I'm sorry,
  552. 21:03and I don't know, just try to make the
  553. 21:06best of it. Okay. Okay?
  554. 21:08I know. I just want you to be
  555. 21:10not concerned about winning or losing,
  556. 21:12just doing your best.
  557. 21:13I never cared about winning or losing.
  558. 21:15It's usually about me trying my best.
  559. 21:18All right, let's go stretch, though.
  560. 21:19Come on. We'll go in the room. I'll walk
  561. 21:21you in. I've to go get my shoes on
  562. 21:22anyway.
  563. 21:28Hello.
  564. 21:29Good morning.
  565. 21:31Oh, I know. I think can't believe she's
  566. 21:33letting her sit dance sit there
  567. 21:35pigeon-toed. Hop it. Down. Circle,
  568. 21:38circle. Whoop. Down. Nia's been scaring
  569. 21:41me recently. Why? About her feet. This
  570. 21:44time it's just like she's just has been
  571. 21:46complaining about one foot. Said it hurt
  572. 21:48a lot the other day. Not excruciating
  573. 21:50that she couldn't dance. When did it
  574. 21:52start?
  575. 21:55You know, when I really started noticing
  576. 21:56was really after that competition.
  577. 21:59As a mom, you can just tell when
  578. 22:01something's a little off with your
  579. 22:02child. And I can see Nia's favoring one
  580. 22:04foot over the other since the last dance
  581. 22:05competition. Oh, Christi's calling.
  582. 22:09Is she? I don't get how she returns your
  583. 22:11phone call, but doesn't return mine.
  584. 22:13When you had an argument with her, you
  585. 22:15at least you you like said something
  586. 22:17smart back to her. Like, don't talk to
  587. 22:18me that way or something. I sat there.
  588. 22:21Maybe she just sees it as this is
  589. 22:22business. I think Christi I think
  590. 22:24Christi separates the two. Like,
  591. 22:26business is business and friendship is
  592. 22:28friendship. I'm mad Christi hasn't
  593. 22:30called me back. I keep reaching out to
  594. 22:32her and
  595. 22:34I get nothing. And it hurts.
  596. 22:37Hi guys. Hi Nia. Hi. How are you? So
  597. 22:40good. How are you guys? Where's Jill?
  598. 22:43Uh she just went down to see Kendall. Or
  599. 22:45Abby. I want to know what went on with
  600. 22:47Kendall coming into this room. I sent
  601. 22:49her in. Maddie's number's completed.
  602. 22:51Kendall's has 40 seconds into hers.
  603. 22:53Maddie always gets more rehearsal time.
  604. 22:55It's just a given. Always did and always
  605. 22:59will. Her number could be finished
  606. 23:01already if we didn't have to go over
  607. 23:03things and over things and over things.
  608. 23:05Abby, don't go there.
  609. 23:06She'll learn the number and she'll do it
  610. 23:07to the best of her ability. This is a
  611. 23:09big week for Kendall. She's on top of
  612. 23:11the pyramid the same week that Maddie
  613. 23:13gets a solo, Sophia comes back,
  614. 23:17and we're going up against Cathy.
  615. 23:19It's too much pressure for Kendall and
  616. 23:21it shows. She's just good, Jill. Give
  617. 23:23the kid credit.
  618. 23:24I know SHE'S GOOD. SHE'S GOOD AND SHE'S
  619. 23:26I KNOW AND GUESS WHAT? So is Kendall.
  620. 23:29Well then, Kendall, I'm sorry you want
  621. 23:30to dance. You do it wrong, do it wrong
  622. 23:31on stage.
  623. 23:35How'd that go? Oh, I tried.
  624. 23:37Yeah, not good. It's a lost cause. She
  625. 23:40said this would have been done. Maddie
  626. 23:42says it's done because she remembered it
  627. 23:43the first time. Oh, she's full such poor
  628. 23:46You know what she said? She's just
  629. 23:48smart. She thinks all of our kids are
  630. 23:49idiots except for Maddie and that's not
  631. 23:52fair.
  632. 23:53We all know she's not Maddie.
  633. 23:57Kendall, we're going to finish your
  634. 23:57dance we have time. Oh, crying again.
  635. 24:00The baby, the baby of the group. I
  636. 24:02thought it was Mackenzie. It's you.
  637. 24:04Don't call her baby.
  638. 24:09Don't cry.
  639. 24:10Don't cry.
  640. 24:12You know what? I can't have a kid crying
  641. 24:14doing a solo. There's no way.
  642. 24:16I'm not going to I'm not teaching you.
  643. 24:18It's disrespectful to me.
  644. 24:20You got a solo, other people didn't and
  645. 24:23you're boo-hooing.
  646. 24:24It's ridiculous.
  647. 24:26Ridiculous. Why is she crying? What
  648. 24:28happened? Was she involved in all this?
  649. 24:29Why is she crying? Are you kidding me?
  650. 24:31Did you hear all the I just told you
  651. 24:33Abby said. Right here. Bam. Bam.
  652. 24:36Get yourself together.
  653. 24:38Okay, so you just like giggle giggle
  654. 24:40giggle.
  655. 24:41All change.
  656. 24:44I don't like this.
  657. 24:45I'm really sorry. I don't know what just
  658. 24:47happened but she just left crying.
  659. 24:49Jackie clearly is not used to Abby's
  660. 24:51methods of teaching. When Abby was
  661. 24:53yelling at Kendall, you could see that
  662. 24:55Jackie was uncomfortable.
  663. 24:57And maybe that's why Jackie and Sophia
  664. 24:59aren't here all the time. They just
  665. 25:00can't take it.
  666. 25:05Let's go. We're going on to the group.
  667. 25:08Maddie, move out. Move out.
  668. 25:12They look like skiers.
  669. 25:14Yeah, what are they supposed to be? How
  670. 25:16can they be Frozen Blue if they have
  671. 25:17hats on? Now, listen to me. Sophia will
  672. 25:20be doing a solo.
  673. 25:22They don't know you. They haven't seen
  674. 25:24you.
  675. 25:25Cathy doesn't know anything about you.
  676. 25:27But I only entered two solos.
  677. 25:29So, Maddie
  678. 25:31or Kendall
  679. 25:33might not be doing a solo. I'm not doing
  680. 25:34it. I'm done.
  681. 25:36Not playing her stupid game. It's
  682. 25:39stupid. She gave Kendall zero chance to
  683. 25:42look good. She gave her 5 minutes in
  684. 25:44there and screamed at her and made her
  685. 25:46cry. Are you kidding me? She thinks I'm
  686. 25:48a freaking idiot.
  687. 26:02Oh my gosh, there's so many pretty
  688. 26:04things in here to look at. Did you know
  689. 26:06that Gino has a solo this weekend?
  690. 26:10Yeah. How do you think he's going to do?
  691. 26:12Good.
  692. 26:13Who do you think is the best dancer?
  693. 26:15Probably him and Zack. You think him and
  694. 26:17Zack? What do you think about the theme?
  695. 26:19I like it. It's cool. What do you think
  696. 26:21about boys trying to chase a girl?
  697. 26:23That's funny, huh? Yeah, I like the
  698. 26:25theme though. Here, let's sit down.
  699. 26:27Going into the competition, I know that
  700. 26:30not only do we have to beat Abby, but we
  701. 26:32also have to beat her popularity. Don't
  702. 26:35you think it's kind of stupid that the
  703. 26:36boys are just pretending that there's a
  704. 26:39girl? Why not get a girl? It's not like
  705. 26:41we don't have a whole dance studio full
  706. 26:42of girls, right? You wouldn't want to do
  707. 26:44it, would you?
  708. 26:48No, I didn't think so.
  709. 26:50Who do you think I could use? Ayla?
  710. 26:52Ayla? That's a bright idea.
  711. 26:55Yeah.
  712. 26:57She would be perfect. I like your idea.
  713. 26:59You're so smart. Even though Vivi isn't
  714. 27:02a woman of many words, I can tell
  715. 27:05whether she likes something or she
  716. 27:07doesn't.
  717. 27:08With Gino doing a solo this week,
  718. 27:11who are you hoping
  719. 27:13that he has to compete against?
  720. 27:15Chloe or Maddie? Maddie. I know that
  721. 27:18Maddie's a good turner, but I don't
  722. 27:21think that she can do seven or eight
  723. 27:23turns like Gino can. No.
  724. 27:26She says, "I wonder if there's something
  725. 27:27in here we could buy for Abby." She was
  726. 27:30so buried with gifts the last time we
  727. 27:32saw her. I want to beat Abby. That's my
  728. 27:35goal, and I'm going to do and use every
  729. 27:39resource that I have to see that that
  730. 27:41happens. Maybe we can find her a cheap
  731. 27:43piece of jewelry.
  732. 27:50Oh, you better get that touch down on
  733. 27:52that lunch, Nia.
  734. 27:57Get way down. Way down so she can see
  735. 27:59your face. Yeah, her face. All right,
  736. 28:01ladies. Our team is getting really
  737. 28:03small. Can't be us. If Jackie and Sophia
  738. 28:06left, it's probably because of a job.
  739. 28:10Or maybe they're just late. Here we are
  740. 28:12getting ready to leave, and there's no
  741. 28:13Jackie and Sophia.
  742. 28:15Where are they? If she knew she was
  743. 28:17leaving last night, why wouldn't she say
  744. 28:18goodbye?
  745. 28:19She doesn't really belong here. I still
  746. 28:22don't understand it. I Jackie was very
  747. 28:24uncomfortable with the situation. The
  748. 28:26baby, crying again. I don't like this.
  749. 28:29I'm really sorry. It was evident. She
  750. 28:33was like, "I don't do this." Why would
  751. 28:35she? She doesn't have to.
  752. 28:38This isn't her studio. No.
  753. 28:43Don't lose your face, Nia. What are you
  754. 28:44doing there?
  755. 28:47I think it's a really good duet. I mean,
  756. 28:50it has a lot of personality. Well, Abby
  757. 28:52initially said when she was
  758. 28:53choreographing it, she doesn't like the
  759. 28:55music, she doesn't like the style dance,
  760. 28:57basically has disaster written all over
  761. 28:58it. Good, good, good, good, good. Now,
  762. 29:01your mother came into the store last
  763. 29:02night and gave me this big song and
  764. 29:03dance about your foot. Do you need to
  765. 29:05get your foot looked at? I mean, is it
  766. 29:06hurt? Yeah, but I'm pushed to it.
  767. 29:10And then but what hurts about it? Your
  768. 29:11ankle, the ball of your foot, your
  769. 29:14your instep? Oh, gosh.
  770. 29:17Abby MD now. I have to go in here before
  771. 29:19she tortures and interrogates this kid.
  772. 29:21Let me go. Excuse me. Do you think you
  773. 29:23broke something? Hi, I thought I saw you
  774. 29:25looking at Nia's foot.
  775. 29:28I thought I'd just take her quickly just
  776. 29:29to get evaluated, just to get an Okay,
  777. 29:31it does look a little bruised to me.
  778. 29:33Right here, yeah. Look.
  779. 29:37I don't want you to think that she can't
  780. 29:38do the dance. In good conscience, if
  781. 29:40that foot is bruised, if it is really
  782. 29:43injured, Yeah. I'm making it worse, and
  783. 29:45I don't want to be part of that. So, I'm
  784. 29:47just messing her now. Take her. Get me
  785. 29:49the clearance, then I'll do it before we
  786. 29:51get on the bus. Okay, I'll get you that
  787. 29:53clearance, cuz I know that she's fine.
  788. 29:56This duet with Paige and Nia is already
  789. 29:58a hot mess.
  790. 30:00Now, Nia's foot's bothering her, and I'm
  791. 30:02going to add an injured dancer to the
  792. 30:03mix? No way.
  793. 30:05If this routine isn't perfect and ready
  794. 30:08to go out there and win,
  795. 30:10I'm not going to do it, especially when
  796. 30:11we're going up against Cathy.
  797. 30:13Nia, what are you
  798. 30:14doing?
  799. 30:16Um, I'm going to the doctors. What
  800. 30:18happened?
  801. 30:19Because my foot hurts. Abby says she
  802. 30:21even sees a little swelling on her foot,
  803. 30:23and I'm like, "Oh, great."
  804. 30:25Oh my god. Oh, I thought you just I
  805. 30:27thought she was like
  806. 30:29yelling at you. She needs to be cleared
  807. 30:30by a doctor, a real doctor.
  808. 30:32I hope Nia comes back with a clean foot,
  809. 30:35cuz if she doesn't, we can't do our
  810. 30:36duet. We'll see you soon. Bye.
  811. 30:48Hopefully it won't be out long.
  812. 30:50Visit. I decided to take Nia to the
  813. 30:52doctor as a precaution just to be sure
  814. 30:55that everything's okay. I think you have
  815. 30:57to be really clear about what you're
  816. 30:59feeling.
  817. 31:01I don't want you to let I don't want to
  818. 31:02let you let Paige down.
  819. 31:05What I think it is
  820. 31:07I think you're feeling a little scared.
  821. 31:08I think you're feeling a little
  822. 31:09intimidated and you're second guessing
  823. 31:11yourself.
  824. 31:12And you're worrying about it and you
  825. 31:14can't worry about it. I really hope the
  826. 31:16doctor says I'm okay and I can do the
  827. 31:18duet because I really don't want to let
  828. 31:19Paige down and I really want to dance.
  829. 31:22What are you here for today, Nia? My
  830. 31:24foot. Your foot. Which foot is hurting?
  831. 31:26My foot. And how long's it been hurting?
  832. 31:29For a long time now. In here?
  833. 31:32How about back here? All of it. All of
  834. 31:34it hurts when you're standing on it
  835. 31:35anything? Right. I didn't feel any type
  836. 31:38of lumps or anything, so that's good.
  837. 31:41On a scale of 1 to 10, how bad is the
  838. 31:43pain?
  839. 31:44Seven. Seven? Well, I do recommend, you
  840. 31:47know, staying off it as much as
  841. 31:49possible. Okay, I understand she does
  842. 31:51dance for a long period of time, but,
  843. 31:52you know, she does need to have time to
  844. 31:54rest that foot. Hearing the doctor say
  845. 31:56that Nia needs to rest her foot more
  846. 31:58scares me.
  847. 32:00I didn't think there was a real injury
  848. 32:01there, but I just hope the doctor clears
  849. 32:03her for this weekend's competition.
  850. 32:04Well, I will I'm going to write you a
  851. 32:05note Okay. when you go back to dance,
  852. 32:08but absolutely stay off of it as much as
  853. 32:10you can when you can.
  854. 32:15Listen, we got to get busy. Got to get
  855. 32:17busy.
  856. 32:34So, we need to finish it, right?
  857. 32:37So, here's what I want to tell you. I
  858. 32:39need to see this face working it because
  859. 32:42I get so tired of listening to the
  860. 32:46Maddie charm with the face
  861. 32:50and the Chloe emotion.
  862. 32:52We need to have that secret pocket
  863. 32:55weapon that's also got passion. That's
  864. 32:59why you're having a solo this week cuz
  865. 33:01you bring to the stage this amazing
  866. 33:04animation with your face. And I don't
  867. 33:07don't don't don't want to hear
  868. 33:10and it was a really close score with a
  869. 33:12tenth of a point.
  870. 33:15Y'all also have to worry about pleasing
  871. 33:16me.
  872. 33:18Of course you know that should be top on
  873. 33:20your list.
  874. 33:21Is it?
  875. 33:23Well, it shouldn't be. It should be at
  876. 33:24the bottom of the list because going out
  877. 33:25there and doing the dance correctly
  878. 33:26should be number one, right?
  879. 33:28High five, boyfriend. Okay, I want it
  880. 33:31all.
  881. 33:35Any word from Sophia's mom?
  882. 33:38Do you really, Abby, not know where she
  883. 33:39is?
  884. 33:40I really don't. She won't answer
  885. 33:41anybody's call. Rachel called her and
  886. 33:43said the kids are waiting to do the
  887. 33:44group number.
  888. 33:45What are we going to do?
  889. 33:48I don't know.
  890. 33:49Do you think she's going to show? What
  891. 33:50are you thinking? I don't think that she
  892. 33:52would do that to the team. I really
  893. 33:53don't. I think we all have a problem
  894. 33:55with her
  895. 33:55if I have to replace one blonde mom for
  896. 33:57another blonde mom Stop.
  897. 33:59She by far class, money
  898. 34:01Yeah, but Chloe showed up for class.
  899. 34:03Chloe's suspended. I know that. I'm just
  900. 34:05saying she's not here. So, you brought
  901. 34:07her in and she's not here. That's what
  902. 34:08I'm saying. Sophia's not here.
  903. 34:13I know I don't know where she is. I
  904. 34:14don't know if she thought we were
  905. 34:15leaving a different time. Maybe she
  906. 34:16flew. I have no idea where Jackie and
  907. 34:18Sophia are right now.
  908. 34:20But I have a sneaky feeling they've
  909. 34:22headed back to LA.
  910. 34:24That kid has too many irons in the fire
  911. 34:26to be competing.
  912. 34:37Thank you for calling.
  913. 34:40No answer in the room.
  914. 34:56I have a surprise for everybody.
  915. 35:00Look at that.
  916. 35:01You don't see big old Abby coming in
  917. 35:03style this way. Okay, boys, you have to
  918. 35:07win. You know that? And if we walk out
  919. 35:10losers today, we beat Abby in
  920. 35:13transportation.
  921. 35:15It's Destiny. She's going down. I can
  922. 35:17feel it.
  923. 35:19Who's in a limo? Of course they are.
  924. 35:21Don't look at them. All right, just
  925. 35:23ignore them. We're classier than that.
  926. 35:26All right, let's go, guys. Nothing like
  927. 35:28arriving in style.
  928. 35:30Oh, look at the shambly mess. Oh, did
  929. 35:33you come in the big crappy bus from
  930. 35:35Pittsburgh? Hey, you know what? Abby,
  931. 35:37that hair is not going to make the limo
  932. 35:39look any worse.
  933. 35:41Abby, go to hell. Oh.
  934. 35:44Abby, please. Such terrible language in
  935. 35:47front of children. You know what? She
  936. 35:50just fumbled. I think somebody just
  937. 35:53fumbled the ball.
  938. 35:57THERE'S COFFEE, AND THIS is a little BOY
  939. 35:59FROM SEATTLE.
  940. 36:00HEY, LISTEN, ABBY.
  941. 36:05YOU KNOW WHAT? WHAT IS YOUR POINT? WHAT
  942. 36:07IS YOUR WHAT IS YOUR POINT? DOG TRAINING
  943. 36:09TOOL. It makes
  944. 36:10It makes THE DOGS SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP.
  945. 36:13ARE YOU saying that every girl at your
  946. 36:14school started and FINISHED THERE? OKAY,
  947. 36:16TIMEOUT. EVERY SINGLE GIRL AT YOUR
  948. 36:18SCHOOL HAS never danced anywhere else.
  949. 36:20NO, BUT
  950. 36:21ABBY.
  951. 36:23SO, OKAY. I rest my case.
  952. 36:26THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK
  953. 36:28YOU. I DON'T TALK TO MY WIFE LIKE THAT
  954. 36:29BECAUSE MY WIFE WOULDN'T TALK TO
  955. 36:31CHILDREN like that.
  956. 36:32Listen, Abby. YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO SAY
  957. 36:33THAT. I want to TELL YOU SOMETHING.
  958. 36:34YOU'RE JUST SCARED. AMEN.
  959. 36:38AMEN.
  960. 36:40You're just scared.
  961. 36:42Let's go.
  962. 36:44Inviting in the Cathy before competition
  963. 36:46is never a good idea.
  964. 36:48That woman knows how to stir the pot.
  965. 36:51I need my girls to be focused and ready
  966. 36:53to win. I am
  967. 36:55regretting the day I ever invited Cathy
  968. 36:58to come to our studio. I have to tell
  969. 37:00you what Jackie told us about him.
  970. 37:02Okay, you know what? Okay. I got to tell
  971. 37:04you something about Jackie first. Okay.
  972. 37:06I just want you all to know that I am
  973. 37:08the reason she is not here.
  974. 37:10I sent her away. I'm just saying to
  975. 37:12leave abruptly like that is not very
  976. 37:14professional or reliable. And we left We
  977. 37:17didn't really leave. We were just in
  978. 37:18your parking lot and you have given us
  979. 37:20You left.
  980. 37:20These moms always accuse me of using
  981. 37:23their daughters as pawns in this game of
  982. 37:26competition.
  983. 37:27But you know what? They should have had
  984. 37:29their daughters in the studio while they
  985. 37:32were out in the parking lot waging a war
  986. 37:34against me. And you can go by herself.
  987. 37:36That's fine. Yeah, but you know when I
  988. 37:37sent her by herself last season, you
  989. 37:40grilled me to no end and I was not only
  990. 37:42finished but done. Well done. I think
  991. 37:45she's immature and I think she needs to
  992. 37:46grow up a little bit.
  993. 37:47You didn't walk in her shoes when she
  994. 37:49couldn't walk and she was in a
  995. 37:50wheelchair. Are we on this feet thing
  996. 37:52again?
  997. 37:52We are because that's who she is. I
  998. 37:55understand
  999. 37:55doesn't use it as a crutch,
  1000. 37:58but every now and then she does have
  1001. 37:59pain which is real.
  1002. 38:01But there's no injury. It's real.
  1003. 38:03I'm about this far from pulling the
  1004. 38:04duet. No, she needs to do the duet to
  1005. 38:07prove to you that she's capable of
  1006. 38:09dancing and dancing well through pain.
  1007. 38:10I know, but your mouth is ugly, woman.
  1008. 38:12You are a monstrosity of evil. You want
  1009. 38:15to talk about ugliness? You're done.
  1010. 38:17You're done. No duet. Whatever.
  1011. 38:19I'm a monstrosity of evil? Yes, you are.
  1012. 38:21You're evil.
  1013. 38:24That's your name and reputation. Yeah, I
  1014. 38:26am professional. Evil monstrosity, I got
  1015. 38:28it. I have to do something to keep these
  1016. 38:30moms in line.
  1017. 38:32Last week Christi flipped out and now
  1018. 38:35Holly's acting up.
  1019. 38:36If there aren't consequences for their
  1020. 38:38horrible behavior,
  1021. 38:40they're just going to keep doing it.
  1022. 38:41Three years ago, I didn't know if my kid
  1023. 38:43could walk again, let alone dance again.
  1024. 38:46And she's making fun of it, making a
  1025. 38:47mockery of that. That's wrong.
  1026. 38:50But you know what? Nia has defied much
  1027. 38:52worse than this. And this would just
  1028. 38:55reflect on how mean-spirited that woman
  1029. 38:57is. Because that's why I'm here to
  1030. 38:59defend my kid when she acts like a fool.
  1031. 39:03Wow.
  1032. 39:05Where's Abby?
  1033. 39:07Not here.
  1034. 39:07Not here, she's mad.
  1035. 39:10Where's Sophia?
  1036. 39:14Well, by the way, we're missing someone.
  1037. 39:17Yes, we are. We're missing a key person
  1038. 39:19in our team. Where is she?
  1039. 39:21Unfortunately, she was suspended. Sus-
  1040. 39:24You see, parents, the kind of stuff that
  1041. 39:26these poor women put up with?
  1042. 39:28Suspension. You know, I have fathers
  1043. 39:30opening doors for me. Our fathers would
  1044. 39:33open the doors for us, too.
  1045. 39:33Well, yeah, you guys just never bring
  1046. 39:35your fathers.
  1047. 39:37So, I'm so sorry that Abby's pouting and
  1048. 39:40then you guys are sitting here
  1049. 39:41threading. No, this is the sew our hats
  1050. 39:43on. This is what Dance Moms do. You guys
  1051. 39:45can arrive in limos and sit pretty, but
  1052. 39:48that doesn't make you a a dance mom or a
  1053. 39:51dance dad. You know that that was
  1054. 39:53fine.
  1055. 39:54Oh my gosh, I love I love your pants.
  1056. 39:57Thank you. You look cute.
  1057. 39:58Thank you. All right, do something with
  1058. 40:00that hair, Jill. Let's go.
  1059. 40:03She really is pouting.
  1060. 40:06I hate to say But we have to beat those
  1061. 40:08kids. We have to. We have to beat Cathy
  1062. 40:11this week and by a lot, not just by a
  1063. 40:14tenth of a point this time. So, Kelly,
  1064. 40:16now that you have had your phone on for
  1065. 40:18a whole day, have you tried to call
  1066. 40:20Christi again? I've called her three
  1067. 40:21times. She won't answer my phone calls.
  1068. 40:23I'm done. Yeah, you said last night you
  1069. 40:24were done. I just didn't know if you
  1070. 40:25tried again. I didn't even do anything.
  1071. 40:27Why should I have to call her? Why are
  1072. 40:29you guys so mad at each other? She
  1073. 40:31obviously doesn't want to talk to me.
  1074. 40:33I'm assuming because I said about Chloe
  1075. 40:35losing her hat.
  1076. 40:37That's the only thing I did.
  1077. 40:38But, are you guys going to be okay?
  1078. 40:40I have no idea.
  1079. 40:42I just thought our friendship was
  1080. 40:45better than that.
  1081. 40:47I knew something was wrong with Christi
  1082. 40:48when she wasn't returning my phone calls
  1083. 40:50or my texts. And I mean, I thought it
  1084. 40:52was just because I said something about
  1085. 40:54Chloe dropping her hat, but maybe it was
  1086. 40:56more than that. Well, we had a little
  1087. 40:58mishap mispage. Abby and Holly got into
  1088. 41:02an argument.
  1089. 41:04And
  1090. 41:05Abby said she's pulling the duet.
  1091. 41:08No, and that's what I told her. I said,
  1092. 41:10"Nia's ready to dance." Like, she's
  1093. 41:11ready to prove to you that she is fine
  1094. 41:14and she can dance and this is why she is
  1095. 41:16walking and doing what she's doing. I
  1096. 41:17need to talk to Abby. I'll convince her
  1097. 41:19to let these girls dance. I'm not going
  1098. 41:21to let my daughter be punished for
  1099. 41:22something she didn't do. It's just not
  1100. 41:25fair.
  1101. 41:27Okay.
  1102. 41:28All right, we're all set. Duet's pulled.
  1103. 41:31Kendall is on shortly.
  1104. 41:35Do we really have to pull the duet?
  1105. 41:36It's done. It's already finished. So,
  1106. 41:37can't I do it? No. Your mother was rude
  1107. 41:40to me. I'm sorry. It's done. I pulled
  1108. 41:42it. Over. I am not going to be spoken to
  1109. 41:44that way. Not by a man downstairs from
  1110. 41:46Cathy and not by you. Abby give it. Abby
  1111. 41:48take it away.
  1112. 41:50Nobody is going to speak to me that way.
  1113. 41:52I didn't put up with it from Christi.
  1114. 41:54Tell her to keep it up and you'll be
  1115. 41:55suspended. Abby, I am asking you in a
  1116. 41:58very professional motherly way to give
  1117. 42:00Nia back that solo. No.
  1118. 42:03She has earned it, Abby.
  1119. 42:04Right, and you screwed it up. I did not
  1120. 42:06screw it up.
  1121. 42:06Yes, she did. Paige would like to dance.
  1122. 42:08I understand, Paige. Sorry, you're a
  1123. 42:09victim of the circumstances. You're not
  1124. 42:12doing the duet. you are evil. That's why
  1125. 42:14I called you evil. Okay.
  1126. 42:16Come on.
  1127. 42:17Kendall, you ready for evil? Let's go.
  1128. 42:19This is Kendall's time to shine. I
  1129. 42:21really need for her to focus and all
  1130. 42:24this business with Cathy and Abby
  1131. 42:27pulling the duet, it's taking away from
  1132. 42:29Kendall's time. I need Kendall to be
  1133. 42:32amazing so she can stay on top.
  1134. 42:37She's going to do the group dance. I'm
  1135. 42:39not going back out there.
  1136. 42:41So,
  1137. 42:42figure it out.
  1138. 42:43Come on, guys.
  1139. 42:55What do you think Holly and Kelly are
  1140. 42:56coming?
  1141. 42:57Where are they?
  1142. 42:59Please help me welcome to the stage
  1143. 43:01Kendall Vertes.
  1144. 43:03GO, KENDALL!
  1145. 43:20MY NAME IS MISS Liza Minnelli.
  1146. 43:25I was adored.
  1147. 43:30I was explored.
  1148. 43:32Halloween
  1149. 43:40I'll come back
  1150. 43:43back for more.
  1151. 43:47Halloween
  1152. 43:54The absolute queen
  1153. 43:58Face. supreme
  1154. 44:01for
  1155. 44:03more.
  1156. 44:08Okay, Kendall!
  1157. 44:13Payton was all right. She needs to work
  1158. 44:15on her face and her emotions.
  1159. 44:17Luckily, I still have Maddie to go up
  1160. 44:20against Cathy's boy. Please welcome Gino
  1161. 44:23with all her THE WAY.
  1162. 44:27GO GINO ALL THE WAY.
  1163. 45:21Going up against boys is always hard.
  1164. 45:23They don't necessarily need to be better
  1165. 45:25to win. Judges love seeing guys out
  1166. 45:28there performing. So, they judge them
  1167. 45:30high in order to encourage them and keep
  1168. 45:33them dancing.
  1169. 45:35I don't know. I think Maddie
  1170. 45:37can beat this kid. We need to go back in
  1171. 45:39there and be like, you didn't hurt us.
  1172. 45:42We're not upset. Show her that you don't
  1173. 45:44care what she does. Kelly is right. I
  1174. 45:46need to get it together and not let Abby
  1175. 45:48see me down. She does not have power
  1176. 45:51over me. Come on, let's go talk to her.
  1177. 45:53Okay.
  1178. 45:54I did everything I could to get Holly to
  1179. 45:56calm down and just come back into the
  1180. 45:58green room. And I'm just hoping that
  1181. 46:00Abby changes her mind and lets the girls
  1182. 46:02do the duet. All right, girls. So, we're
  1183. 46:04getting ready.
  1184. 46:06But, you still might not be allowed to
  1185. 46:07do the dance. When Abby comes in,
  1186. 46:10we're going to ask her to talk to her.
  1187. 46:12We'll probably have to like just go
  1188. 46:14right to stage. So, you guys have to be
  1189. 46:16ready, okay?
  1190. 46:18The duet has to be even better
  1191. 46:21than she expects.
  1192. 46:22Don't give Abby the satisfaction of
  1193. 46:24being say, "I told you so."
  1194. 46:26Show her that you're just
  1195. 46:29absolutely incredible.
  1196. 46:45Use your face.
  1197. 46:50Make that first left shoulder sharper.
  1198. 46:52Maddie is about to perform her first
  1199. 46:54solo after weeks and weeks of being off
  1200. 46:57and uh
  1201. 46:58Maddie's no dummy. She knows exactly
  1202. 47:01what she needs to do.
  1203. 47:05Next on the actual number 49A, and
  1204. 47:07please help me welcome MADDIE WITH
  1205. 47:09QUICKSAND.
  1206. 47:30HAVE I COME
  1207. 47:32THIS far just for it to all fall down?
  1208. 47:38Watching all
  1209. 47:40of this success is slipping through my
  1210. 47:44hands.
  1211. 47:45So, someone
  1212. 47:47help
  1213. 47:49me, please.
  1214. 47:53My hopes are
  1215. 47:55too
  1216. 47:59high.
  1217. 48:01and the stars
  1218. 48:03are too far
  1219. 48:05to reach.
  1220. 48:09And the stars
  1221. 48:11are too far
  1222. 48:13to reach.
  1223. 48:22Thank you.
  1224. 48:25Thank you so much.
  1225. 48:28You made her so happy. Naddie just
  1226. 48:29finished her solo and it was amazing. I
  1227. 48:32think she was flawless.
  1228. 48:34Abby was pleased. She grabbed my hand
  1229. 48:36and you know, she was really happy. Hey,
  1230. 48:39please listen. When it's time to
  1231. 48:41compete, compete to win. I said they can
  1232. 48:45be your friends afterwards. Right. And
  1233. 48:47we all agreed, right?
  1234. 48:48Nobody is your friend before the
  1235. 48:50competition or during cuz we want to
  1236. 48:52win. One, two, three.
  1237. 48:57Last week we lost to Abby by a tenth of
  1238. 48:59a point. We cannot lose to her this week
  1239. 49:02by a tenth of a point. We need to make
  1240. 49:04such an impact that there's a huge
  1241. 49:07margin and there's no question as to who
  1242. 49:10should be top overall. No, but I know
  1243. 49:12it's an intense dance, but we need to
  1244. 49:14focus. Use our bring bring on the
  1245. 49:16acting, bring on the technique and do
  1246. 49:18not ever even think about hesitating
  1247. 49:21your movement. Here we go. Let's enter
  1248. 49:22number 89. Please help me welcome to the
  1249. 49:25stage Top Overall.
  1250. 49:40She got me I never seen someone quite
  1251. 49:45like you.
  1252. 49:49To the things you do, yeah, you're that
  1253. 49:52girl I choose.
  1254. 50:47That's how you do it.
  1255. 50:48I think the routine was just the same
  1256. 50:51exact steps they did the week before.
  1257. 50:54My kids
  1258. 50:55learn something new. We have to win. I
  1259. 50:58mean, it's it's a matter of life or
  1260. 51:00death. It's survival.
  1261. 51:02These boys cannot get one over on us.
  1262. 51:04Let's see what we can do with these
  1263. 51:06scrub scrub on Brooke's my major
  1264. 51:08concern. Brooke, you want to get your
  1265. 51:10stuff off and put a white uniform on and
  1266. 51:11see how good you look in it. There is so
  1267. 51:14much riding on this group routine.
  1268. 51:16I need to make sure everything is
  1269. 51:18perfect.
  1270. 51:20Especially the costumes.
  1271. 51:21We don't have enough shorts. Did they
  1272. 51:23get shorts? Look in there and see if
  1273. 51:24there's shorts. How many shorts do we
  1274. 51:25have?
  1275. 51:27Three. We got to get going. Get her up
  1276. 51:29off the floor. Get up. Abby, are we not
  1277. 51:32going to have them do their duet?
  1278. 51:33No, they're not doing the duet. Abby,
  1279. 51:35you always tell us that our kids
  1280. 51:38don't show you that they want to dance.
  1281. 51:39They're dressed, they're ready to dance.
  1282. 51:41I know, but
  1283. 51:45I'm not going to go back down there and
  1284. 51:46change what I did. I pulled it.
  1285. 51:51It's wrong. I know that Holly is pissed
  1286. 51:54right now.
  1287. 51:55But I don't care. I only have one thing
  1288. 51:57on my mind, and that's beating Cathy.
  1289. 52:00I need to stay focused and move forward
  1290. 52:03with this group routine. If you guys
  1291. 52:04want to be in the group dance, I suggest
  1292. 52:06you're going to get those off and get
  1293. 52:08these costumes on. Let's wait to figure
  1294. 52:10out what's going on. All right, come on.
  1295. 52:14So, how do we rate Holly?
  1296. 52:16You all have cursed that woman out. You
  1297. 52:18have all cursed her out. I called her
  1298. 52:20one thing. I called her evil when she
  1299. 52:22called me ugly.
  1300. 52:23There was nothing I did wrong.
  1301. 52:25Of course not.
  1302. 52:27It's an abuse of power.
  1303. 52:29And she abused her power right there.
  1304. 52:31Shame on her.
  1305. 52:47Everything is serious, okay? No No
  1306. 52:49smiling.
  1307. 52:50Good luck, ladies. Have fun.
  1308. 52:57We got this. We got this, guys.
  1309. 52:59All right, judges, that makes some noise
  1310. 53:00for your number 88.
  1311. 53:02Please give it up for Avalanche.
  1312. 53:39Come on. Come
  1313. 54:42Is it good? It all went on the right
  1314. 54:43time. That was good. No, we didn't do
  1315. 54:44that. No, no, on this part.
  1316. 54:47Flying, we didn't
  1317. 54:49I am really concerned right now. The
  1318. 54:52girls made several big mistakes. I'm
  1319. 54:54just hoping the judges didn't notice
  1320. 54:57because I want this win. I need this
  1321. 54:59win. And now our 9 to 11 high score
  1322. 55:03solos.
  1323. 55:05Eighth place regional champion
  1324. 55:08Gino.
  1325. 55:11I thought the choreography really didn't
  1326. 55:13suit him. Gino would have been much
  1327. 55:16better off doing a musical theater
  1328. 55:17piece.
  1329. 55:18Now, ladies and gentlemen, it comes down
  1330. 55:19to our final two high score 9 to 11
  1331. 55:22solo. Less than one point separated the
  1332. 55:25difference between these two. Second
  1333. 55:27place regional champion will be
  1334. 55:29Alexandra, below zero.
  1335. 55:34Now, ladies and gentlemen, by less than
  1336. 55:36one point, your highest scoring 9 to 11
  1337. 55:39solo tonight will BE

  1342. 55:55takes away my solos again. Here we go in
