- 0:58Cathy, no one wants you here.
- 1:00SHUT YOUR MOUTH. SHUT YOUR MOUTH.
- 1:02DON'T SAY ANYTHING GO OUTSIDE. ABOUT MY
- 1:05CHILD.
- 1:24OH, our first one's here.
- 1:26It's a record. Get undressed and start
- 1:29stretching.
- 1:30Hi guys.
- 1:32Brooke, you can drive all the way here
- 1:34and you can't get that hair in a bun?
- 1:38Hi guys. Hi. Have you guys seen Christi?
- 1:41Is she out there? Is she coming?
- 1:42I think she's mad at me. Cuz I said
- 1:44something about the hat. Which is crazy.
- 1:46It is. I mean, we all saw the hat.
- 1:48Every week somebody messes up in a group
- 1:51dance. Well, I wonder if Christi's not
- 1:53coming. I find that hard to believe.
- 1:55Christi's never left before.
- 1:57Nice job, Chloe.
- 1:59Huh?
- 2:01Nice job.
- 2:01We're leaving. You want Chloe gone?
- 2:03We're gone. You go ahead and replace me.
- 2:04I'm leaving. I'm not going to make a
- 2:06scene with you.
- 2:06the easy way out, right?
- 2:07No. I'm done. I'm done. This is not what
- 2:09I signed up for.
- 2:10At some point, we have all threatened to
- 2:12leave and storm out, and she's never
- 2:14done that. We're back at Abby's. Another
- 2:16week, another competitions looming. No
- 2:19Kristie, no Chloe.
- 2:21Maybe you'll have a spot on the pyramid,
- 2:22Brooke. I don't want to dance without
- 2:24Chloe. Aw. I don't have my Chloe power.
- 2:27Your Chloe power?
- 2:37Come on, ladies. Let's go. Let's go.
- 2:38Let's go.
- 2:44All right.
- 2:45Last week, you walked in here and you
- 2:47were losers.
- 2:49Fourth place.
- 2:50Today, you're winners. You walk in here
- 2:52like, "Woohoo! We won."
- 3:01And that's all fine and dandy, but uh
- 3:03let's be realistic. You won by a tenth
- 3:06of a point. I don't want the Abby Lee
- 3:08Dance Company to be just 1/10 of a point
- 3:12ahead of the who you beat. I don't want
- 3:14it.
- 3:15I want you to be 30 points ahead, or 20
- 3:17points ahead, or 10 points, or for
- 3:19goodness' sakes, one whole point.
- 3:22Can we be one whole point above the next
- 3:24group? Abby,
- 3:26do you know where Kristie and Chloe are?
- 3:28I'm dealing with that.
- 3:30Let's do something a little different
- 3:31today. And then, I'm going to start at
- 3:33the top.
- 3:34Finally, for the first time ever,
- 3:38Kendall is at the top of the pyramid.
- 3:41You're on top of the pyramid. Hello,
- 3:43Nina.
- 3:44Kendall, you beat a lot of great people.
- 3:46One of them was Chloe.
- 3:48Seeing Kendall at the top of the pyramid
- 3:50makes all this hard work and all the
- 3:52fighting worth it. I'm so happy right
- 3:55now. Jill,
- 3:57I think you just made an enemy. I don't
- 3:58think Kristie can handle your 9-year-old
- 4:01beating her 11-year-old who is a
- 4:03national title holder right now.
- 4:06I think you need to watch out.
- 4:08Next,
- 4:10Maddie.
- 4:12I'm not going to tell you you are
- 4:13amazing. I don't think you are.
- 4:16And then moving on,
- 4:18Nia.
- 4:20Nia, you went out.
- 4:22Your arms were pretty.
- 4:24Started off strong.
- 4:27Fizzled.
- 4:28Next,
- 4:30I have Paige.
- 4:32Paige,
- 4:33I don't want to go over and over things
- 4:35in class. I want to tell you one time
- 4:39and I want you to do it. And next,
- 4:43Mackenzie.
- 4:45Tell me what you did because
- 4:47I heard that you were in the audience
- 4:49watching, but I saw you sleeping in the
- 4:51dressing room. You're like dead weight
- 4:53coming along with us. We don't need you
- 4:55there.
- 4:56Obviously, on the bottom of the pyramid
- 4:58is Chloe. Chloe
- 5:01made a mistake.
- 5:03I told you all not to drop your hat.
- 5:07Dropped your hat.
- 5:17Chloe is suspended.
- 5:19So is her mother. Her behavior
- 5:23was deplorable. Abby, shut up. Shut up.
- 5:26Stop talking now. Replace us. That's
- 5:28fine. Come on, Chloe. We're done.
- 5:31Get away from me.
- 5:32I do not want her anywhere near the
- 5:34studio.
- 5:36She was an embarrassment to the Abby Lee
- 5:38Dance Company and to all of you. Abby,
- 5:41how long is she sus- What does that
- 5:42mean? It's I don't know how long. I
- 5:44would like to know how long it's going
- 5:45to take to get Brooke back on the
- 5:46pyramid?
- 5:48Funny you should mention that.
- 5:55You might want to send Chloe a thank you
- 5:57note cuz her mother just bought you a
- 5:59spot on the pyramid.
- 6:01This weekend we are going to Star Power
- 6:04International Talent Competition in
- 6:06Detroit, Michigan.
- 6:07Is there a studio from Ohio going all
- 6:10the way to Detroit?
- 6:11Yes, there is.
- 6:14Cathy is coming back for you, big time.
- 6:17I can't believe Cathy's coming this
- 6:19weekend. I really wanted to revel and
- 6:21enjoy that Kendall's at the top of the
- 6:23pyramid. She's going to get special
- 6:25attention, and now I have to deal with
- 6:28Cathy, the Wicked Witch of Ohio. We have
- 6:31a group routine. Everybody's in it. I am
- 6:34down one dancer.
- 6:35I cannot afford any weak links.
- 6:39Kendall, you will be doing a solo again
- 6:41this weekend.
- 6:45Paige, I'm going to give you a duet with
- 6:48Nia.
- 6:51Now last week you thought your good
- 6:53wasn't good enough. This is your chance.
- 6:56Don't blow it. I have one more routine
- 6:58left. Maddie, you will be doing a solo
- 7:01this week.
- 7:03Don't be so elated.
- 7:05It's like a default, like by process of
- 7:07elimination. I need somebody that's
- 7:09going to win. And you can bet that that
- 7:11boys' group,
- 7:12one of those boys is going to BE DOING A
- 7:14SOLO.
- 7:15It's been so long since Maddie's had a
- 7:17solo. I hope the added pressure of the
- 7:19boys and Cathy's team doesn't rattle
- 7:22her. Everybody needs to be outstanding.
- 7:25Moms,
- 7:26we can't lose.
- 7:29We won't lose. You guys go out there on
- 7:32that stage
- 7:33and screw up and we don't win,
- 7:35I might replace everybody.
- 7:38If I can suspend Chloe,
- 7:40I can suspend you, too.
- 7:43Does everybody understand?
- 7:45Cathy is not going to get the best of me
- 7:47with all these boys.
- 7:48All right, mom should dismiss. Guys,
- 7:50spread apart. Let's go. Gianna, I want
- 7:52you to bring in the prop.
- 8:00All right, girls. So, you understand,
- 8:03Nia, that you are the wallflower. And
- 8:06Paige is the wild child. My duet this
- 8:09week is called the wild child and the
- 8:11wallflower. I play the wallflower. I'm
- 8:13kind of shy and quiet, kind of how I am.
- 8:17Twist and lunge off the chair this way.
- 8:21Boom. Twist, but you're not going to
- 8:22stand all the way up. You're not going
- 8:24to stand up. You're just going to kind
- 8:25of shh
- 8:27Yes. Boom.
- 8:29So, do you think Nia is excited about
- 8:31the duet? Oh my goodness, she is
- 8:33thrilled, but at the same time, Nia is
- 8:36very nervous about it, too. Why? Well,
- 8:39when Nia gets stressed,
- 8:42she can have a tendency of having a
- 8:44relapse with her pain management
- 8:45disorder.
- 8:46So, do you think it's stress-related,
- 8:47then?
- 8:47It's usually stress-related. Stressful
- 8:49situations will trigger that. And
- 8:51there's You don't have an injury. Like,
- 8:52that's the whole kicker of the thing.
- 8:54Nia suffers from a neurological disorder
- 8:56called reflex neurovascular dystrophy or
- 8:59RSD, and there's a direct correlation to
- 9:01stress. So, when Nia is in a stressful
- 9:03environment, I get very concerned.
- 9:06That is strange.
- 9:07very, very strange. But, they say
- 9:09there's a certain type of kid that may
- 9:11be predisposed to having a kid who is
- 9:14like a perfectionist, the type A kind of
- 9:16personality, overachiever kind of kids.
- 9:19Oh, really? Is that what the
- 9:21Isn't that weird?
- 9:22I'm surprised Maddie doesn't have a Shut
- 9:24up, Melissa. Does everything have to be
- 9:26about your child? I just wish Kristie
- 9:28was here, cuz she would have something
- 9:29funny to say and make us all laugh.
- 9:31There are just kids who are predis-
- 9:34predisposed to it.
- 9:35But, she can have this for the rest of
- 9:37her life. It's one of those things that
- 9:38she'll have forever. And it's not been
- 9:40for 2 years.
- 9:41for Yeah, it's been 2 years without it.
- 9:44Oh god, well, please don't make it
- 9:45happen over a duet. Well, I I wouldn't.
- 9:47It's not the duet.
- 9:48There's
- 9:50It's not the duet. She likes the idea of
- 9:52the duet. It's the idea of failure. Put
- 9:54your foot behind the chair.
- 9:58Go again. Nia!
- 10:00This is the third time I'm yelling at
- 10:02you about something ridiculous.
- 10:04Oh, now she's yelling at her.
- 10:06That's not going to be helpful. So,
- 10:08Holly, tell me about Nia's toe. After
- 10:11dance yesterday, thought, you know what?
- 10:13Let me just take her to the ER and be
- 10:15done with it. Nia's been complaining
- 10:16recently of her foot hurting, and
- 10:18because she has CRND, we take pain very
- 10:21seriously. And I have to be sure whether
- 10:24this is a pain related to injury or is
- 10:26this a pain related to stress.
- 10:28Obviously, she's in some discomfort, and
- 10:31she injured her toe. Like, there's no
- 10:32question about that, but they said
- 10:34there's it's not fractured. They don't
- 10:36worry about it. She'll be fine. So, you
- 10:39need to get your brain in your head. I'm
- 10:40speaking English. You know English.
- 10:42Let's do it.
- 10:51So, how is everybody? Good.
- 10:53Mom, it looks like you're outnumbered
- 10:56now. We have all of these handsome
- 10:57gentlemen that are standing with us. So
- 10:59happy to see all of you. Listen, we're
- 11:01going to Detroit this weekend because
- 11:04guess who we're going to go try and
- 11:06find. Abby. What do you guys think about
- 11:09what happened last time? Um we got We
- 11:11got ripped off.
- 11:13You
- 11:14really dropped Abby to her knees.
- 11:17She Well, maybe she's not able to drop
- 11:20to her knees, but maybe her cankles
- 11:22shouldn't
- 11:23But, nonetheless,
- 11:25you set her up, and it was great.
- 11:27Let's see who is
- 11:30going to hit the perfect pyramid.
- 11:33First we have
- 11:36Brandon.
- 11:37Brandon brings to the board amazing
- 11:40technique. Next
- 11:43Jaylen.
- 11:44Jaylen, Jay Jaylen's move to the middle.
- 11:47Next
- 11:49we have Zach.
- 11:51Zach, I think your extensions are to die
- 11:54for. Thank you.
- 11:56So at the top and also doing a solo this
- 11:59week is my hot young lad from Miami,
- 12:03Gino.
- 12:05So with that being said, number two
- 12:07tries harder. So I need game faces on.
- 12:10We are not a dance team that takes off
- 12:12their hats and the curls come tumbling.
- 12:15We are an army.
- 12:16Ready for war. GOOD.
- 12:19GOOD. I like that.
- 12:30On a one to 10, 10 being the highest,
- 12:33one being the lowest, what's the pain in
- 12:35this foot right now? It would be a
- 12:37seven. A seven's
- 12:39too high for me cuz that means you're
- 12:42feeling pain while you're dancing and
- 12:44you're feeling pain more often than not.
- 12:48Nia has been treated for RND, which is
- 12:50reflexive neurovascular disorder, which
- 12:53is basically a pain management disorder.
- 12:55Three summers ago, Nia woke up with
- 12:58excruciating pain. Nia couldn't walk.
- 13:00Nia was in a wheelchair. She was
- 13:02hospital bound. Came on suddenly. Nia
- 13:05was basically out of dance. My sense is
- 13:08that it it reminds me when you were back
- 13:10in the hospital. Is that scaring you a
- 13:12little bit? Yeah. Nia had managed her
- 13:14pain really well on a regular basis.
- 13:17But if she's in a stressful situation
- 13:20it can become inflamed. What do you
- 13:23think is stressing you out in
- 13:23particular?
- 13:25I'm just kind of afraid my best isn't
- 13:27good enough right now.
- 13:29You can't give up. You more than anyone
- 13:32else on that team deserves a spot
- 13:33because you worked 10 times as hard. No
- 13:37one else on that team was in a
- 13:38wheelchair. You didn't know if you were
- 13:39ever going to dance and now you're
- 13:41dancing.
- 13:42You owe that to yourself. Okay?
- 13:46Every day Nia wakes up,
- 13:48she proves to me that this is a kid
- 13:51who's a fighter. She's a kid who wants
- 13:55to live every moment of her life to the
- 13:57fullest. What do you think about the
- 13:59duet? You excited?
- 14:01I like seeing that light in your eyes.
- 14:04You look happy.
- 14:06You look excited about it.
- 14:08I think for a moment you forgot
- 14:11about your pain in your foot.
- 14:13And you remembered the joy of just
- 14:15dancing.
- 14:16I'm proud of you.
- 14:221 2 3 uh 4 uh 5 6 7 8 uh 1. I wonder
- 14:27what Chrissy like I wonder what she's
- 14:28doing now like in my free time.
- 14:29taking a bubble bath with a candle lit,
- 14:32having a glass of wine.
- 14:34maybe take some cooking classes. Oh god.
- 14:38Don't let your feet fly around.
- 14:42We're doing a group routine called
- 14:43Avalanche. It's about burying them
- 14:46alive.
- 14:47So we have these sharp little ski
- 14:49bunnies trekking up the mountain,
- 14:52propelling down the mountain. Somebody
- 14:54misses a step.
- 14:56There's an avalanche, everybody drops
- 14:59like flies. Wow, did you see that?
- 15:02I never saw that.
- 15:04That's all new stuff.
- 15:05Watch out boys, the girls are coming to
- 15:07get you. Wouldn't it be great if we
- 15:11two times in a row. And why don't you
- 15:13get up on the prop?
- 15:15Where is the problem? I told your
- 15:17mothers to get that problem. Where's the
- 15:19prop?
- 15:21Let's get that prop.
- 15:22I'll go and look for the prop. Melissa,
- 15:24you know where it is. We have a very
- 15:25large, white, heavy, wooden prop, and
- 15:28it's going to serve as our mountain. And
- 15:30the survivor of the avalanche runs up to
- 15:33the top of that mountain and looks back
- 15:35at all the people that are no longer
- 15:37with her. So, this is like the mountain,
- 15:40and you're trying every which way to get
- 15:41up it. I'm just not getting anything
- 15:43from you guys. I need a kid
- 15:46like that's going to think outside the
- 15:47box. Can you slide through there?
- 15:49Oh, look. Look.
- 15:50Look. Oh my god, she's the only skinny
- 15:52one who can fit through there.
- 15:54What is that?
- 15:55Look how beautiful she looks. Even
- 15:57playing dead, she's beautiful. We wanted
- 16:00somebody to be found like they were
- 16:02dead, and I said, "Who can I make blue?"
- 16:05And Dee said,
- 16:06"Paige would be the easiest to just
- 16:08because she's the fairest." I don't want
- 16:10her painted blue. Yeah, that's what the
- 16:12girls were saying. I don't want her
- 16:13painted blue. Hello.
- 16:16Hello. It's about time you got back
- 16:18here. Well, she shot me. Did you see
- 16:19that? All right, listen. I want to hear
- 16:21all about everything, but right now, we
- 16:24have a group routine to do, and I'm down
- 16:26a person, so you're in the group.
- 16:27Unbeknownst to me,
- 16:29Jackie and Sophia show back up in
- 16:31Pittsburgh. But, you know what? I told
- 16:33Jackie, "Anytime that Sophia is
- 16:35available and wants to be part of the
- 16:37Abby Lee Dance Company competition team,
- 16:39she's more than welcome." All right,
- 16:41Sophia, welcome to the avalanche. Yeah,
- 16:44we didn't know you were coming. Now that
- 16:46Jackie and Sophia show up, I'm not real
- 16:48thrilled that they're here. Um, I'm just
- 16:51hoping that, you know, Sophia doesn't
- 16:53take Maddie's solo away.
- 16:55So, was this a surprise for Abby? Did
- 16:56she know you were coming? We've been
- 16:58trying to come back um for a few weeks
- 17:00now, and then it just becomes like such
- 17:02short notice, and I'm like, "Oh, I'll
- 17:03try." And then something will come up,
- 17:05and I'll be like, "I can't." And so, I
- 17:06think she was disappointed, and I was
- 17:07actually afraid that she'd be upset with
- 17:09me. I'm sure anytime you arrive, she
- 17:11would be welcome you with open arms.
- 17:13Sophia does movies and commercials and
- 17:15things like that, and I have been
- 17:17wanting to get Jackie alone to ask her
- 17:19for some of her contacts that maybe I
- 17:22can contact them and see if they would
- 17:24be interested in my kids.
- 17:25I've actually been meaning to call you.
- 17:27I have Well, Brooke likes to sing and
- 17:29Paige likes to do modeling and
- 17:32I want to try to get like their name out
- 17:34there and I want to get some contacts
- 17:35out in LA and stuff.
- 17:36Oh, yeah. Yeah. And I didn't know if you
- 17:37would be able to get me Yeah, I'll give
- 17:39you a few of these agents' number. I
- 17:40think Jackie is a really nice lady and
- 17:43you know, we seem to have a lot in
- 17:44common. We both want our kids to do more
- 17:47than just dance. We want them,
- 17:50you know, to get further in this career.
- 17:52It's been a crazy week. I feel so bad
- 17:54about all this crap with Christi. You
- 17:56know, all I did was say her hat dropped.
- 17:58It wasn't like Yeah.
- 18:00No, I feel bad for you. I'm sorry. It's
- 18:02been crazy here. My god, like Maddie
- 18:04hasn't had a solo since you've been
- 18:06gone.
- 18:06Are you serious? Mhm. I just think like
- 18:09with Christi and Melissa, they have
- 18:11something to lose by Sophia being here.
- 18:13I don't think that they they shouldn't
- 18:14think that way. Like you're a threat to
- 18:16them. Where's Kelly? She's schmoozing
- 18:18with her new BFF.
- 18:20I think she's taken her place.
- 18:22Jackie's taking Christi's place. And
- 18:24she's our drinking buddy. I guess we
- 18:27don't They don't want us.
- 18:30Let's go to lunch now. I'm excited. That
- 18:31sounds good. Yeah. We still never had
- 18:33our drink.
- 18:41I want you to dazzle me more
- 18:44than you did the last time. This weekend
- 18:46the routine that the boys are doing is
- 18:48called top of the world. They are doing
- 18:50jazz, hip hop, acrobatic, and there's a
- 18:54lot of personality involved. They're
- 18:55ultimately telling a story in this
- 18:57dance. And I think that those kind of
- 18:59dances are the ones that usually are the
- 19:02most captivating.
- 19:04They're all kind of looking at a
- 19:05magazine that they got. So, they're
- 19:07dancing with a magazine and just oogling
- 19:10over this girl that they wish that they
- 19:11could have as a girlfriend.
- 19:13Fine, it's got to be stage personality.
- 19:16Keep motivated.
- 19:24Face it.
- 19:28That's seven in.
- 19:36Even though our team has just come
- 19:38together, there's already a bond,
- 19:41there's already a unity. I like the
- 19:42boys, they like me. But overall, it's
- 19:45kind of fun to be surrounded by dance
- 19:47dads, so I'm just feeling confident now.
- 19:50Okay, so
- 19:52it looked good, did it look great? No.
- 19:55No, not even close. It looked better by
- 19:58a tenth of a point. It looked better. I
- 20:01get it. Yeah, good. I'm glad you got it.
- 20:03I want you guys to go have lunch,
- 20:06and I want you to get fueled back up,
- 20:08and I want you to come back in here to
- 20:09work harder than you did this morning.
- 20:12Okay.
- 20:12Okay? Mhm.
- 20:21So, you excited to be back?
- 20:23What do you think about the solo? I like
- 20:25it. You like it?
- 20:26When we arrived, I found out that Abby
- 20:28wanted to give Sophia a solo. I knew
- 20:29that she could pick up the choreography
- 20:31and that she would be fine, but I was
- 20:32worried that if Abby did give her one,
- 20:34that there would be, you know, tension
- 20:36and I didn't want to have that. Hey, so
- 20:38you know how Abby said she's going to
- 20:39tell the moms about what was going on
- 20:42with the solos, how somebody's not going
- 20:44to have a solo this week, and she gave
- 20:46it to you. I know it's like really
- 20:48uncomfortable cuz we normally would
- 20:50never do that, like ever. So, just let
- 20:53Abby handle it, and um
- 20:55I don't know who she's taking it away
- 20:56from, and I feel awful. So, whenever we
- 20:59find out, make sure that you go over and
- 21:01you say I'm sorry,
- 21:03and I don't know, just try to make the
- 21:06best of it. Okay. Okay?
- 21:08I know. I just want you to be
- 21:10not concerned about winning or losing,
- 21:12just doing your best.
- 21:13I never cared about winning or losing.
- 21:15It's usually about me trying my best.
- 21:18All right, let's go stretch, though.
- 21:19Come on. We'll go in the room. I'll walk
- 21:21you in. I've to go get my shoes on
- 21:22anyway.
- 21:28Hello.
- 21:29Good morning.
- 21:31Oh, I know. I think can't believe she's
- 21:33letting her sit dance sit there
- 21:35pigeon-toed. Hop it. Down. Circle,
- 21:38circle. Whoop. Down. Nia's been scaring
- 21:41me recently. Why? About her feet. This
- 21:44time it's just like she's just has been
- 21:46complaining about one foot. Said it hurt
- 21:48a lot the other day. Not excruciating
- 21:50that she couldn't dance. When did it
- 21:52start?
- 21:55You know, when I really started noticing
- 21:56was really after that competition.
- 21:59As a mom, you can just tell when
- 22:01something's a little off with your
- 22:02child. And I can see Nia's favoring one
- 22:04foot over the other since the last dance
- 22:05competition. Oh, Christi's calling.
- 22:09Is she? I don't get how she returns your
- 22:11phone call, but doesn't return mine.
- 22:13When you had an argument with her, you
- 22:15at least you you like said something
- 22:17smart back to her. Like, don't talk to
- 22:18me that way or something. I sat there.
- 22:21Maybe she just sees it as this is
- 22:22business. I think Christi I think
- 22:24Christi separates the two. Like,
- 22:26business is business and friendship is
- 22:28friendship. I'm mad Christi hasn't
- 22:30called me back. I keep reaching out to
- 22:32her and
- 22:34I get nothing. And it hurts.
- 22:37Hi guys. Hi Nia. Hi. How are you? So
- 22:40good. How are you guys? Where's Jill?
- 22:43Uh she just went down to see Kendall. Or
- 22:45Abby. I want to know what went on with
- 22:47Kendall coming into this room. I sent
- 22:49her in. Maddie's number's completed.
- 22:51Kendall's has 40 seconds into hers.
- 22:53Maddie always gets more rehearsal time.
- 22:55It's just a given. Always did and always
- 22:59will. Her number could be finished
- 23:01already if we didn't have to go over
- 23:03things and over things and over things.
- 23:05Abby, don't go there.
- 23:06She'll learn the number and she'll do it
- 23:07to the best of her ability. This is a
- 23:09big week for Kendall. She's on top of
- 23:11the pyramid the same week that Maddie
- 23:13gets a solo, Sophia comes back,
- 23:17and we're going up against Cathy.
- 23:19It's too much pressure for Kendall and
- 23:21it shows. She's just good, Jill. Give
- 23:23the kid credit.
- 23:24I know SHE'S GOOD. SHE'S GOOD AND SHE'S
- 23:26I KNOW AND GUESS WHAT? So is Kendall.
- 23:29Well then, Kendall, I'm sorry you want
- 23:30to dance. You do it wrong, do it wrong
- 23:31on stage.
- 23:35How'd that go? Oh, I tried.
- 23:37Yeah, not good. It's a lost cause. She
- 23:40said this would have been done. Maddie
- 23:42says it's done because she remembered it
- 23:43the first time. Oh, she's full such poor
- 23:46You know what she said? She's just
- 23:48smart. She thinks all of our kids are
- 23:49idiots except for Maddie and that's not
- 23:52fair.
- 23:53We all know she's not Maddie.
- 23:57Kendall, we're going to finish your
- 23:57dance we have time. Oh, crying again.
- 24:00The baby, the baby of the group. I
- 24:02thought it was Mackenzie. It's you.
- 24:04Don't call her baby.
- 24:09Don't cry.
- 24:10Don't cry.
- 24:12You know what? I can't have a kid crying
- 24:14doing a solo. There's no way.
- 24:16I'm not going to I'm not teaching you.
- 24:18It's disrespectful to me.
- 24:20You got a solo, other people didn't and
- 24:23you're boo-hooing.
- 24:24It's ridiculous.
- 24:26Ridiculous. Why is she crying? What
- 24:28happened? Was she involved in all this?
- 24:29Why is she crying? Are you kidding me?
- 24:31Did you hear all the I just told you
- 24:33Abby said. Right here. Bam. Bam.
- 24:36Get yourself together.
- 24:38Okay, so you just like giggle giggle
- 24:40giggle.
- 24:41All change.
- 24:44I don't like this.
- 24:45I'm really sorry. I don't know what just
- 24:47happened but she just left crying.
- 24:49Jackie clearly is not used to Abby's
- 24:51methods of teaching. When Abby was
- 24:53yelling at Kendall, you could see that
- 24:55Jackie was uncomfortable.
- 24:57And maybe that's why Jackie and Sophia
- 24:59aren't here all the time. They just
- 25:00can't take it.
- 25:05Let's go. We're going on to the group.
- 25:08Maddie, move out. Move out.
- 25:12They look like skiers.
- 25:14Yeah, what are they supposed to be? How
- 25:16can they be Frozen Blue if they have
- 25:17hats on? Now, listen to me. Sophia will
- 25:20be doing a solo.
- 25:22They don't know you. They haven't seen
- 25:24you.
- 25:25Cathy doesn't know anything about you.
- 25:27But I only entered two solos.
- 25:29So, Maddie
- 25:31or Kendall
- 25:33might not be doing a solo. I'm not doing
- 25:34it. I'm done.
- 25:36Not playing her stupid game. It's
- 25:39stupid. She gave Kendall zero chance to
- 25:42look good. She gave her 5 minutes in
- 25:44there and screamed at her and made her
- 25:46cry. Are you kidding me? She thinks I'm
- 25:48a freaking idiot.
- 26:02Oh my gosh, there's so many pretty
- 26:04things in here to look at. Did you know
- 26:06that Gino has a solo this weekend?
- 26:10Yeah. How do you think he's going to do?
- 26:12Good.
- 26:13Who do you think is the best dancer?
- 26:15Probably him and Zack. You think him and
- 26:17Zack? What do you think about the theme?
- 26:19I like it. It's cool. What do you think
- 26:21about boys trying to chase a girl?
- 26:23That's funny, huh? Yeah, I like the
- 26:25theme though. Here, let's sit down.
- 26:27Going into the competition, I know that
- 26:30not only do we have to beat Abby, but we
- 26:32also have to beat her popularity. Don't
- 26:35you think it's kind of stupid that the
- 26:36boys are just pretending that there's a
- 26:39girl? Why not get a girl? It's not like
- 26:41we don't have a whole dance studio full
- 26:42of girls, right? You wouldn't want to do
- 26:44it, would you?
- 26:48No, I didn't think so.
- 26:50Who do you think I could use? Ayla?
- 26:52Ayla? That's a bright idea.
- 26:55Yeah.
- 26:57She would be perfect. I like your idea.
- 26:59You're so smart. Even though Vivi isn't
- 27:02a woman of many words, I can tell
- 27:05whether she likes something or she
- 27:07doesn't.
- 27:08With Gino doing a solo this week,
- 27:11who are you hoping
- 27:13that he has to compete against?
- 27:15Chloe or Maddie? Maddie. I know that
- 27:18Maddie's a good turner, but I don't
- 27:21think that she can do seven or eight
- 27:23turns like Gino can. No.
- 27:26She says, "I wonder if there's something
- 27:27in here we could buy for Abby." She was
- 27:30so buried with gifts the last time we
- 27:32saw her. I want to beat Abby. That's my
- 27:35goal, and I'm going to do and use every
- 27:39resource that I have to see that that
- 27:41happens. Maybe we can find her a cheap
- 27:43piece of jewelry.
- 27:50Oh, you better get that touch down on
- 27:52that lunch, Nia.
- 27:57Get way down. Way down so she can see
- 27:59your face. Yeah, her face. All right,
- 28:01ladies. Our team is getting really
- 28:03small. Can't be us. If Jackie and Sophia
- 28:06left, it's probably because of a job.
- 28:10Or maybe they're just late. Here we are
- 28:12getting ready to leave, and there's no
- 28:13Jackie and Sophia.
- 28:15Where are they? If she knew she was
- 28:17leaving last night, why wouldn't she say
- 28:18goodbye?
- 28:19She doesn't really belong here. I still
- 28:22don't understand it. I Jackie was very
- 28:24uncomfortable with the situation. The
- 28:26baby, crying again. I don't like this.
- 28:29I'm really sorry. It was evident. She
- 28:33was like, "I don't do this." Why would
- 28:35she? She doesn't have to.
- 28:38This isn't her studio. No.
- 28:43Don't lose your face, Nia. What are you
- 28:44doing there?
- 28:47I think it's a really good duet. I mean,
- 28:50it has a lot of personality. Well, Abby
- 28:52initially said when she was
- 28:53choreographing it, she doesn't like the
- 28:55music, she doesn't like the style dance,
- 28:57basically has disaster written all over
- 28:58it. Good, good, good, good, good. Now,
- 29:01your mother came into the store last
- 29:02night and gave me this big song and
- 29:03dance about your foot. Do you need to
- 29:05get your foot looked at? I mean, is it
- 29:06hurt? Yeah, but I'm pushed to it.
- 29:10And then but what hurts about it? Your
- 29:11ankle, the ball of your foot, your
- 29:14your instep? Oh, gosh.
- 29:17Abby MD now. I have to go in here before
- 29:19she tortures and interrogates this kid.
- 29:21Let me go. Excuse me. Do you think you
- 29:23broke something? Hi, I thought I saw you
- 29:25looking at Nia's foot.
- 29:28I thought I'd just take her quickly just
- 29:29to get evaluated, just to get an Okay,
- 29:31it does look a little bruised to me.
- 29:33Right here, yeah. Look.
- 29:37I don't want you to think that she can't
- 29:38do the dance. In good conscience, if
- 29:40that foot is bruised, if it is really
- 29:43injured, Yeah. I'm making it worse, and
- 29:45I don't want to be part of that. So, I'm
- 29:47just messing her now. Take her. Get me
- 29:49the clearance, then I'll do it before we
- 29:51get on the bus. Okay, I'll get you that
- 29:53clearance, cuz I know that she's fine.
- 29:56This duet with Paige and Nia is already
- 29:58a hot mess.
- 30:00Now, Nia's foot's bothering her, and I'm
- 30:02going to add an injured dancer to the
- 30:03mix? No way.
- 30:05If this routine isn't perfect and ready
- 30:08to go out there and win,
- 30:10I'm not going to do it, especially when
- 30:11we're going up against Cathy.
- 30:13Nia, what are you
- 30:14doing?
- 30:16Um, I'm going to the doctors. What
- 30:18happened?
- 30:19Because my foot hurts. Abby says she
- 30:21even sees a little swelling on her foot,
- 30:23and I'm like, "Oh, great."
- 30:25Oh my god. Oh, I thought you just I
- 30:27thought she was like
- 30:29yelling at you. She needs to be cleared
- 30:30by a doctor, a real doctor.
- 30:32I hope Nia comes back with a clean foot,
- 30:35cuz if she doesn't, we can't do our
- 30:36duet. We'll see you soon. Bye.
- 30:48Hopefully it won't be out long.
- 30:50Visit. I decided to take Nia to the
- 30:52doctor as a precaution just to be sure
- 30:55that everything's okay. I think you have
- 30:57to be really clear about what you're
- 30:59feeling.
- 31:01I don't want you to let I don't want to
- 31:02let you let Paige down.
- 31:05What I think it is
- 31:07I think you're feeling a little scared.
- 31:08I think you're feeling a little
- 31:09intimidated and you're second guessing
- 31:11yourself.
- 31:12And you're worrying about it and you
- 31:14can't worry about it. I really hope the
- 31:16doctor says I'm okay and I can do the
- 31:18duet because I really don't want to let
- 31:19Paige down and I really want to dance.
- 31:22What are you here for today, Nia? My
- 31:24foot. Your foot. Which foot is hurting?
- 31:26My foot. And how long's it been hurting?
- 31:29For a long time now. In here?
- 31:32How about back here? All of it. All of
- 31:34it hurts when you're standing on it
- 31:35anything? Right. I didn't feel any type
- 31:38of lumps or anything, so that's good.
- 31:41On a scale of 1 to 10, how bad is the
- 31:43pain?
- 31:44Seven. Seven? Well, I do recommend, you
- 31:47know, staying off it as much as
- 31:49possible. Okay, I understand she does
- 31:51dance for a long period of time, but,
- 31:52you know, she does need to have time to
- 31:54rest that foot. Hearing the doctor say
- 31:56that Nia needs to rest her foot more
- 31:58scares me.
- 32:00I didn't think there was a real injury
- 32:01there, but I just hope the doctor clears
- 32:03her for this weekend's competition.
- 32:04Well, I will I'm going to write you a
- 32:05note Okay. when you go back to dance,
- 32:08but absolutely stay off of it as much as
- 32:10you can when you can.
- 32:15Listen, we got to get busy. Got to get
- 32:17busy.
- 32:34So, we need to finish it, right?
- 32:37So, here's what I want to tell you. I
- 32:39need to see this face working it because
- 32:42I get so tired of listening to the
- 32:46Maddie charm with the face
- 32:50and the Chloe emotion.
- 32:52We need to have that secret pocket
- 32:55weapon that's also got passion. That's
- 32:59why you're having a solo this week cuz
- 33:01you bring to the stage this amazing
- 33:04animation with your face. And I don't
- 33:07don't don't don't want to hear
- 33:10and it was a really close score with a
- 33:12tenth of a point.
- 33:15Y'all also have to worry about pleasing
- 33:16me.
- 33:18Of course you know that should be top on
- 33:20your list.
- 33:21Is it?
- 33:23Well, it shouldn't be. It should be at
- 33:24the bottom of the list because going out
- 33:25there and doing the dance correctly
- 33:26should be number one, right?
- 33:28High five, boyfriend. Okay, I want it
- 33:31all.
- 33:35Any word from Sophia's mom?
- 33:38Do you really, Abby, not know where she
- 33:39is?
- 33:40I really don't. She won't answer
- 33:41anybody's call. Rachel called her and
- 33:43said the kids are waiting to do the
- 33:44group number.
- 33:45What are we going to do?
- 33:48I don't know.
- 33:49Do you think she's going to show? What
- 33:50are you thinking? I don't think that she
- 33:52would do that to the team. I really
- 33:53don't. I think we all have a problem
- 33:55with her
- 33:55if I have to replace one blonde mom for
- 33:57another blonde mom Stop.
- 33:59She by far class, money
- 34:01Yeah, but Chloe showed up for class.
- 34:03Chloe's suspended. I know that. I'm just
- 34:05saying she's not here. So, you brought
- 34:07her in and she's not here. That's what
- 34:08I'm saying. Sophia's not here.
- 34:13I know I don't know where she is. I
- 34:14don't know if she thought we were
- 34:15leaving a different time. Maybe she
- 34:16flew. I have no idea where Jackie and
- 34:18Sophia are right now.
- 34:20But I have a sneaky feeling they've
- 34:22headed back to LA.
- 34:24That kid has too many irons in the fire
- 34:26to be competing.
- 34:37Thank you for calling.
- 34:40No answer in the room.
- 34:56I have a surprise for everybody.
- 35:00Look at that.
- 35:01You don't see big old Abby coming in
- 35:03style this way. Okay, boys, you have to
- 35:07win. You know that? And if we walk out
- 35:10losers today, we beat Abby in
- 35:13transportation.
- 35:15It's Destiny. She's going down. I can
- 35:17feel it.
- 35:19Who's in a limo? Of course they are.
- 35:21Don't look at them. All right, just
- 35:23ignore them. We're classier than that.
- 35:26All right, let's go, guys. Nothing like
- 35:28arriving in style.
- 35:30Oh, look at the shambly mess. Oh, did
- 35:33you come in the big crappy bus from
- 35:35Pittsburgh? Hey, you know what? Abby,
- 35:37that hair is not going to make the limo
- 35:39look any worse.
- 35:41Abby, go to hell. Oh.
- 35:44Abby, please. Such terrible language in
- 35:47front of children. You know what? She
- 35:50just fumbled. I think somebody just
- 35:53fumbled the ball.
- 35:57THERE'S COFFEE, AND THIS is a little BOY
- 35:59FROM SEATTLE.
- 36:00HEY, LISTEN, ABBY.
- 36:05YOU KNOW WHAT? WHAT IS YOUR POINT? WHAT
- 36:07IS YOUR WHAT IS YOUR POINT? DOG TRAINING
- 36:09TOOL. It makes
- 36:10It makes THE DOGS SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP.
- 36:13ARE YOU saying that every girl at your
- 36:14school started and FINISHED THERE? OKAY,
- 36:16TIMEOUT. EVERY SINGLE GIRL AT YOUR
- 36:18SCHOOL HAS never danced anywhere else.
- 36:20NO, BUT
- 36:21ABBY.
- 36:23SO, OKAY. I rest my case.
- 36:26THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK
- 36:28YOU. I DON'T TALK TO MY WIFE LIKE THAT
- 36:29BECAUSE MY WIFE WOULDN'T TALK TO
- 36:31CHILDREN like that.
- 36:32Listen, Abby. YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO SAY
- 36:33THAT. I want to TELL YOU SOMETHING.
- 36:34YOU'RE JUST SCARED. AMEN.
- 36:38AMEN.
- 36:40You're just scared.
- 36:42Let's go.
- 36:44Inviting in the Cathy before competition
- 36:46is never a good idea.
- 36:48That woman knows how to stir the pot.
- 36:51I need my girls to be focused and ready
- 36:53to win. I am
- 36:55regretting the day I ever invited Cathy
- 36:58to come to our studio. I have to tell
- 37:00you what Jackie told us about him.
- 37:02Okay, you know what? Okay. I got to tell
- 37:04you something about Jackie first. Okay.
- 37:06I just want you all to know that I am
- 37:08the reason she is not here.
- 37:10I sent her away. I'm just saying to
- 37:12leave abruptly like that is not very
- 37:14professional or reliable. And we left We
- 37:17didn't really leave. We were just in
- 37:18your parking lot and you have given us
- 37:20You left.
- 37:20These moms always accuse me of using
- 37:23their daughters as pawns in this game of
- 37:26competition.
- 37:27But you know what? They should have had
- 37:29their daughters in the studio while they
- 37:32were out in the parking lot waging a war
- 37:34against me. And you can go by herself.
- 37:36That's fine. Yeah, but you know when I
- 37:37sent her by herself last season, you
- 37:40grilled me to no end and I was not only
- 37:42finished but done. Well done. I think
- 37:45she's immature and I think she needs to
- 37:46grow up a little bit.
- 37:47You didn't walk in her shoes when she
- 37:49couldn't walk and she was in a
- 37:50wheelchair. Are we on this feet thing
- 37:52again?
- 37:52We are because that's who she is. I
- 37:55understand
- 37:55doesn't use it as a crutch,
- 37:58but every now and then she does have
- 37:59pain which is real.
- 38:01But there's no injury. It's real.
- 38:03I'm about this far from pulling the
- 38:04duet. No, she needs to do the duet to
- 38:07prove to you that she's capable of
- 38:09dancing and dancing well through pain.
- 38:10I know, but your mouth is ugly, woman.
- 38:12You are a monstrosity of evil. You want
- 38:15to talk about ugliness? You're done.
- 38:17You're done. No duet. Whatever.
- 38:19I'm a monstrosity of evil? Yes, you are.
- 38:21You're evil.
- 38:24That's your name and reputation. Yeah, I
- 38:26am professional. Evil monstrosity, I got
- 38:28it. I have to do something to keep these
- 38:30moms in line.
- 38:32Last week Christi flipped out and now
- 38:35Holly's acting up.
- 38:36If there aren't consequences for their
- 38:38horrible behavior,
- 38:40they're just going to keep doing it.
- 38:41Three years ago, I didn't know if my kid
- 38:43could walk again, let alone dance again.
- 38:46And she's making fun of it, making a
- 38:47mockery of that. That's wrong.
- 38:50But you know what? Nia has defied much
- 38:52worse than this. And this would just
- 38:55reflect on how mean-spirited that woman
- 38:57is. Because that's why I'm here to
- 38:59defend my kid when she acts like a fool.
- 39:03Wow.
- 39:05Where's Abby?
- 39:07Not here.
- 39:07Not here, she's mad.
- 39:10Where's Sophia?
- 39:14Well, by the way, we're missing someone.
- 39:17Yes, we are. We're missing a key person
- 39:19in our team. Where is she?
- 39:21Unfortunately, she was suspended. Sus-
- 39:24You see, parents, the kind of stuff that
- 39:26these poor women put up with?
- 39:28Suspension. You know, I have fathers
- 39:30opening doors for me. Our fathers would
- 39:33open the doors for us, too.
- 39:33Well, yeah, you guys just never bring
- 39:35your fathers.
- 39:37So, I'm so sorry that Abby's pouting and
- 39:40then you guys are sitting here
- 39:41threading. No, this is the sew our hats
- 39:43on. This is what Dance Moms do. You guys
- 39:45can arrive in limos and sit pretty, but
- 39:48that doesn't make you a a dance mom or a
- 39:51dance dad. You know that that was
- 39:53fine.
- 39:54Oh my gosh, I love I love your pants.
- 39:57Thank you. You look cute.
- 39:58Thank you. All right, do something with
- 40:00that hair, Jill. Let's go.
- 40:03She really is pouting.
- 40:06I hate to say But we have to beat those
- 40:08kids. We have to. We have to beat Cathy
- 40:11this week and by a lot, not just by a
- 40:14tenth of a point this time. So, Kelly,
- 40:16now that you have had your phone on for
- 40:18a whole day, have you tried to call
- 40:20Christi again? I've called her three
- 40:21times. She won't answer my phone calls.
- 40:23I'm done. Yeah, you said last night you
- 40:24were done. I just didn't know if you
- 40:25tried again. I didn't even do anything.
- 40:27Why should I have to call her? Why are
- 40:29you guys so mad at each other? She
- 40:31obviously doesn't want to talk to me.
- 40:33I'm assuming because I said about Chloe
- 40:35losing her hat.
- 40:37That's the only thing I did.
- 40:38But, are you guys going to be okay?
- 40:40I have no idea.
- 40:42I just thought our friendship was
- 40:45better than that.
- 40:47I knew something was wrong with Christi
- 40:48when she wasn't returning my phone calls
- 40:50or my texts. And I mean, I thought it
- 40:52was just because I said something about
- 40:54Chloe dropping her hat, but maybe it was
- 40:56more than that. Well, we had a little
- 40:58mishap mispage. Abby and Holly got into
- 41:02an argument.
- 41:04And
- 41:05Abby said she's pulling the duet.
- 41:08No, and that's what I told her. I said,
- 41:10"Nia's ready to dance." Like, she's
- 41:11ready to prove to you that she is fine
- 41:14and she can dance and this is why she is
- 41:16walking and doing what she's doing. I
- 41:17need to talk to Abby. I'll convince her
- 41:19to let these girls dance. I'm not going
- 41:21to let my daughter be punished for
- 41:22something she didn't do. It's just not
- 41:25fair.
- 41:27Okay.
- 41:28All right, we're all set. Duet's pulled.
- 41:31Kendall is on shortly.
- 41:35Do we really have to pull the duet?
- 41:36It's done. It's already finished. So,
- 41:37can't I do it? No. Your mother was rude
- 41:40to me. I'm sorry. It's done. I pulled
- 41:42it. Over. I am not going to be spoken to
- 41:44that way. Not by a man downstairs from
- 41:46Cathy and not by you. Abby give it. Abby
- 41:48take it away.
- 41:50Nobody is going to speak to me that way.
- 41:52I didn't put up with it from Christi.
- 41:54Tell her to keep it up and you'll be
- 41:55suspended. Abby, I am asking you in a
- 41:58very professional motherly way to give
- 42:00Nia back that solo. No.
- 42:03She has earned it, Abby.
- 42:04Right, and you screwed it up. I did not
- 42:06screw it up.
- 42:06Yes, she did. Paige would like to dance.
- 42:08I understand, Paige. Sorry, you're a
- 42:09victim of the circumstances. You're not
- 42:12doing the duet. you are evil. That's why
- 42:14I called you evil. Okay.
- 42:16Come on.
- 42:17Kendall, you ready for evil? Let's go.
- 42:19This is Kendall's time to shine. I
- 42:21really need for her to focus and all
- 42:24this business with Cathy and Abby
- 42:27pulling the duet, it's taking away from
- 42:29Kendall's time. I need Kendall to be
- 42:32amazing so she can stay on top.
- 42:37She's going to do the group dance. I'm
- 42:39not going back out there.
- 42:41So,
- 42:42figure it out.
- 42:43Come on, guys.
- 42:55What do you think Holly and Kelly are
- 42:56coming?
- 42:57Where are they?
- 42:59Please help me welcome to the stage
- 43:01Kendall Vertes.
- 43:03GO, KENDALL!
- 43:20MY NAME IS MISS Liza Minnelli.
- 43:25I was adored.
- 43:30I was explored.
- 43:32Halloween
- 43:40I'll come back
- 43:43back for more.
- 43:47Halloween
- 43:54The absolute queen
- 43:58Face. supreme
- 44:01for
- 44:03more.
- 44:08Okay, Kendall!
- 44:13Payton was all right. She needs to work
- 44:15on her face and her emotions.
- 44:17Luckily, I still have Maddie to go up
- 44:20against Cathy's boy. Please welcome Gino
- 44:23with all her THE WAY.
- 44:27GO GINO ALL THE WAY.
- 45:21Going up against boys is always hard.
- 45:23They don't necessarily need to be better
- 45:25to win. Judges love seeing guys out
- 45:28there performing. So, they judge them
- 45:30high in order to encourage them and keep
- 45:33them dancing.
- 45:35I don't know. I think Maddie
- 45:37can beat this kid. We need to go back in
- 45:39there and be like, you didn't hurt us.
- 45:42We're not upset. Show her that you don't
- 45:44care what she does. Kelly is right. I
- 45:46need to get it together and not let Abby
- 45:48see me down. She does not have power
- 45:51over me. Come on, let's go talk to her.
- 45:53Okay.
- 45:54I did everything I could to get Holly to
- 45:56calm down and just come back into the
- 45:58green room. And I'm just hoping that
- 46:00Abby changes her mind and lets the girls
- 46:02do the duet. All right, girls. So, we're
- 46:04getting ready.
- 46:06But, you still might not be allowed to
- 46:07do the dance. When Abby comes in,
- 46:10we're going to ask her to talk to her.
- 46:12We'll probably have to like just go
- 46:14right to stage. So, you guys have to be
- 46:16ready, okay?
- 46:18The duet has to be even better
- 46:21than she expects.
- 46:22Don't give Abby the satisfaction of
- 46:24being say, "I told you so."
- 46:26Show her that you're just
- 46:29absolutely incredible.
- 46:45Use your face.
- 46:50Make that first left shoulder sharper.
- 46:52Maddie is about to perform her first
- 46:54solo after weeks and weeks of being off
- 46:57and uh
- 46:58Maddie's no dummy. She knows exactly
- 47:01what she needs to do.
- 47:05Next on the actual number 49A, and
- 47:07please help me welcome MADDIE WITH
- 47:09QUICKSAND.
- 47:30HAVE I COME
- 47:32THIS far just for it to all fall down?
- 47:38Watching all
- 47:40of this success is slipping through my
- 47:44hands.
- 47:45So, someone
- 47:47help
- 47:49me, please.
- 47:53My hopes are
- 47:55too
- 47:59high.
- 48:01and the stars
- 48:03are too far
- 48:05to reach.
- 48:09And the stars
- 48:11are too far
- 48:13to reach.
- 48:22Thank you.
- 48:25Thank you so much.
- 48:28You made her so happy. Naddie just
- 48:29finished her solo and it was amazing. I
- 48:32think she was flawless.
- 48:34Abby was pleased. She grabbed my hand
- 48:36and you know, she was really happy. Hey,
- 48:39please listen. When it's time to
- 48:41compete, compete to win. I said they can
- 48:45be your friends afterwards. Right. And
- 48:47we all agreed, right?
- 48:48Nobody is your friend before the
- 48:50competition or during cuz we want to
- 48:52win. One, two, three.
- 48:57Last week we lost to Abby by a tenth of
- 48:59a point. We cannot lose to her this week
- 49:02by a tenth of a point. We need to make
- 49:04such an impact that there's a huge
- 49:07margin and there's no question as to who
- 49:10should be top overall. No, but I know
- 49:12it's an intense dance, but we need to
- 49:14focus. Use our bring bring on the
- 49:16acting, bring on the technique and do
- 49:18not ever even think about hesitating
- 49:21your movement. Here we go. Let's enter
- 49:22number 89. Please help me welcome to the
- 49:25stage Top Overall.
- 49:40She got me I never seen someone quite
- 49:45like you.
- 49:49To the things you do, yeah, you're that
- 49:52girl I choose.
- 50:47That's how you do it.
- 50:48I think the routine was just the same
- 50:51exact steps they did the week before.
- 50:54My kids
- 50:55learn something new. We have to win. I
- 50:58mean, it's it's a matter of life or
- 51:00death. It's survival.
- 51:02These boys cannot get one over on us.
- 51:04Let's see what we can do with these
- 51:06scrub scrub on Brooke's my major
- 51:08concern. Brooke, you want to get your
- 51:10stuff off and put a white uniform on and
- 51:11see how good you look in it. There is so
- 51:14much riding on this group routine.
- 51:16I need to make sure everything is
- 51:18perfect.
- 51:20Especially the costumes.
- 51:21We don't have enough shorts. Did they
- 51:23get shorts? Look in there and see if
- 51:24there's shorts. How many shorts do we
- 51:25have?
- 51:27Three. We got to get going. Get her up
- 51:29off the floor. Get up. Abby, are we not
- 51:32going to have them do their duet?
- 51:33No, they're not doing the duet. Abby,
- 51:35you always tell us that our kids
- 51:38don't show you that they want to dance.
- 51:39They're dressed, they're ready to dance.
- 51:41I know, but
- 51:45I'm not going to go back down there and
- 51:46change what I did. I pulled it.
- 51:51It's wrong. I know that Holly is pissed
- 51:54right now.
- 51:55But I don't care. I only have one thing
- 51:57on my mind, and that's beating Cathy.
- 52:00I need to stay focused and move forward
- 52:03with this group routine. If you guys
- 52:04want to be in the group dance, I suggest
- 52:06you're going to get those off and get
- 52:08these costumes on. Let's wait to figure
- 52:10out what's going on. All right, come on.
- 52:14So, how do we rate Holly?
- 52:16You all have cursed that woman out. You
- 52:18have all cursed her out. I called her
- 52:20one thing. I called her evil when she
- 52:22called me ugly.
- 52:23There was nothing I did wrong.
- 52:25Of course not.
- 52:27It's an abuse of power.
- 52:29And she abused her power right there.
- 52:31Shame on her.
- 52:47Everything is serious, okay? No No
- 52:49smiling.
- 52:50Good luck, ladies. Have fun.
- 52:57We got this. We got this, guys.
- 52:59All right, judges, that makes some noise
- 53:00for your number 88.
- 53:02Please give it up for Avalanche.
- 53:39Come on. Come
- 54:42Is it good? It all went on the right
- 54:43time. That was good. No, we didn't do
- 54:44that. No, no, on this part.
- 54:47Flying, we didn't
- 54:49I am really concerned right now. The
- 54:52girls made several big mistakes. I'm
- 54:54just hoping the judges didn't notice
- 54:57because I want this win. I need this
- 54:59win. And now our 9 to 11 high score
- 55:03solos.
- 55:05Eighth place regional champion
- 55:08Gino.
- 55:11I thought the choreography really didn't
- 55:13suit him. Gino would have been much
- 55:16better off doing a musical theater
- 55:17piece.
- 55:18Now, ladies and gentlemen, it comes down
- 55:19to our final two high score 9 to 11
- 55:22solo. Less than one point separated the
- 55:25difference between these two. Second
- 55:27place regional champion will be
- 55:29Alexandra, below zero.
- 55:34Now, ladies and gentlemen, by less than
- 55:36one point, your highest scoring 9 to 11
- 55:39solo tonight will BE
- 55:42ENTRY NUMBER 49A, MADDIE, WITH
- 55:45QUICKSAND.
- 55:50I was so excited to beat that boy and
- 55:53get first place. I hope Miss Abby never
- 55:55takes away my solos again. Here we go in
- 55:58our 9 to 11 small groups, ladies and
- 56:00gentlemen. Third place champion is
- 56:05Avalanche, number 88.
- 56:12Second place, Boy Meets Girl, number 84.
- 56:20And now, ladies and gentlemen, in your 9
- 56:22to 11 small groups, the highest scoring
- 56:24group today in a very competitive
- 56:25category, your champion and winner will
- 56:27be

- 56:47them. There you go. It's always a happy
- 56:50feeling to win.
- 56:51And it was like the cherry on top of the
- 56:54sundae to beat Abby.
- 56:58So, Abby, how you feeling?
- 57:01I'm fabulous. Great. It was a great
- 57:03number. Fell short, though. Let's talk

- 57:08about it. These boys have you rattled.
- 57:12They don't have me rattled.

- 57:18moms? Oh, lots.

- 1:01:22three men into the dressing room,
- 1:01:24which I don't appreciate. And then, she
- 1:01:27whacks me with a purse. Then, I came in
- 1:01:29my dressing room and got in a fight with
- 1:01:30my own student and her mother, Holly.
