0:01ABBY LEE MILLER (VOICEOVER): Previously on "Dance Moms."
0:02Nice job, Chloe.
0:04Replace us, that's fine.
0:05Chloe made a mistake.
0:06She dropped her hat.
0:08Chloe is suspended.
0:09So is her mother.
0:10Such terrible language.
0:11Don't talk to another woman like that.
0:13Thank you. Thank you.
0:14I wouldn't [inaudible]
0:15I think she's immature and I think she
0:16needs to grow up a little bit.
0:17If you didn't walk in her shoes when she couldn't walk.
0:19I'm this far from pulling the duet.
0:20You are a monstrosity of evil.
0:22You're done. You're done.
0:24No duet.
0:24Shut your mouth.
0:25Shut your mouth.
0:27Get out.
0:28Get lost, bitch.
0:29ABBY LEE MILLER (VOICEOVER): Coming up on "Dance Moms."
0:31They don't self-motivate themselves.
0:33They don't get out there and work on it.
0:35When do you want them to work on it?
0:36All I wanted was a phone call from you.
0:38I wanted to ask you if Paige and I can
0:40do the duet this weekend?
0:42Let me think about it.
0:43I'm not saying no.
0:44Lock the back knee in the lunge.
0:46Oh, somebody's foot was flexed.
0:48Don't give her the power to upset you.
0:49My daughter has a name.
0:51- So do you. - Yeah.
0:53Starts with a B.
0:54I sat in a parking lot for you and you weren't here.
0:57I was sticking up for you.
0:58You should have called me.
0:59[MUSIC - NIKKO LOWE, "LIVING ON THE DANCE FLOOR"]
1:02(SINGING) Get up.
1:03Get on the floor.
1:05My world is with my girls, living on the dance floor.
1:11[music continuing]
1:17All right.
1:18Let's rock and roll.
1:20Hello.
1:21It's apparent that Christi and Chloe are not here.
1:23They were suspended last week.
1:25We need Christi and Chloe as part of the team.
1:28They are part of the team.
1:29Without them, the team's not complete.
1:32So Kelly, have you talked to Christi?
1:33No. She won't call me.
1:35I hope she comes back.
1:38Have you talked to Christi?
1:39You know, I talked her for a few moments yesterday.
1:42Just for a little bit, not very long.
1:44Did she mention my name at all?
1:46She did not.
1:49It's going to be really awkward
1:50this week because I tried calling Christi.
1:53I tried texting her.
1:54She didn't answer me back.
1:57I don't even know what to say to her.
1:58OK, you're sure you want to go back in there?
2:02I want to walk into that studio like I want a stiletto jammed
2:05in my eyeball.
2:06But we're back because Chloe wants to dance,
2:09and I don't do this for myself.
2:10I do it for my daughter.
2:12Hello.
2:13Hi.
2:19May I speak with you in private?
2:23[screams]
2:24Chloe.
2:26Chloe.
2:27Wow, look who's here.
2:29What a welcome.
2:31Well, Abby, since you're not going to speak to me,
2:33I'm going to speak at you.
2:35Chloe is here because she's a member of the team.
2:38I am sorry for my behavior in the hallway
2:42and at the competition.
2:44And I have talked to the competition.
2:47I've apologized.
2:48I've spoken to the director.
2:49And you should, in no way, shape, or form,
2:51hold that against Chloe.
2:53[laughs]
2:55Or at least I would think you should know that.
2:57I would think your mother would have taught you better.
3:00OK, I'm going to go in because this is my job
3:04and I am to be here.
3:12Hey.
3:14Hello. - Hi.
3:16How's it going?
3:17I heard you were talking to Abby.
3:18No, I was talking at Abby.
3:19She won't speak to me.
3:21Oh.
3:21Sometimes it's better that way.
3:23That woman thinks that I'm going
3:24to give her the time of day.
3:26How dare her even walk into this studio.
3:28She has [bleep] big [bleep] like a man,
3:32because that's what she is.
3:33She is disgusting.
3:34Where have you been?
3:36What have you been up to?
3:37I don't know.
3:38We'll talk upstairs.
3:42No need for applause.
3:43Let's go.
3:44[laughs]
3:45When I come back in the studio,
3:47everyone's really excited to see me, except Kelly,
3:49and you would think that Kelly should've been the one who
3:52is most excited to see me.
3:53All right.
3:54You know, they told me that Detroit was a tough city.
3:59Well, it was.
4:01You weren't the big winners.
4:03You got beat.
4:04Your champion winner will be "Top of the World" entry number
4:0789.
4:11Third place.
4:13Cathy is a fake and a phony.
4:16She calls herself a choreographer?
4:18She's an embarrassment to my vocation.
4:22I think the loss to Cathy's all-boy team was tough on Abby.
4:27To be honest with you, I think she did not like
4:29losing to a group of all boys.
4:32And then we had a duet, but I can't really talk about it
4:35because it didn't happen.
4:37I pulled the duet.
4:39If your mother is out of control, you don't dance.
4:43And Abby, that is fine.
4:45I do want it noted on your record
4:47that I was defending my daughter because you were being
4:50insensitive about her health issues.
4:52That's what my disagreement with you was.
4:54So let's just say I'm not putting up with it anymore.
5:00We've had a member of the team suspended.
5:03You all know what suspended is.
5:06It's like the last chance before dismissal.
5:10Let's move on to the pyramid.
5:12Chloe, obviously, you were not on the pyramid.
5:15On the bottom, Nia.
5:18You should have expected to be there.
5:22Paige kind of got thrown under the bus with the duet.
5:27Next we have Kendall.
5:31Now Kendall, you were given a solo.
5:34You didn't even make the top 10.
5:36Alexandra, "Below Zero."
5:42Do I just keep giving you a solo?
5:44No.
5:45Next, Mackenzie.
5:48I told you I wasn't going to put you in the groups
5:50anymore because you are the weak link.
5:54This time I thought you were excellent.
5:58And moving next, Brooke.
6:02It was the first time you were officially on the team.
6:09I thought the parts that you did in the routine that were
6:12your solo spots were excellent.
6:16But I need you still to be more of a role model, understood?
6:22And at the top of the pyramid, Maddie.
6:26You have not had a solo for weeks.
6:28Your highest scoring solo tonight
6:30will be Maddie with "Quick Sand."
6:34It's tough getting there.
6:36It's even tougher staying there, and you know that.
6:41We will be attending In10sity Dance in Fort Lauderdale,
6:46Florida.
6:48[inaudible]
6:49Everybody will be in the group dance.
6:51Now, the group routine is a contemporary piece.
6:54The name of the routine is "Money
6:57is the Root of All Evil."
7:00I really don't know about the group routine
7:02this week, "Money is the Root of All Evil."
7:04I don't really equate money with evil.
7:06Abby, yes.
7:07Money, no.
7:09Moms, the costumes are emerald green,
7:12like the color of money or envy.
7:16And they're going to need some work.
7:18We need headpieces.
7:19We need trim.
7:21And you'll be using actual real money on the costume.
7:25I don't know about this idea of putting real money
7:27on these costumes.
7:29We spend enough money on costumes as it is.
7:31This is going to be an expensive week.
7:34Maddie, obviously, a solo is going to you.
7:38And the other solo is going to Brooke.
7:41[applause]
7:43This is Brooke's first solo for this competition season,
7:46and Brooke needs the show Abby that she
7:48wants to be part of this team.
7:50I think she needs to go out there and show her
7:52that she still loves to dance and she wants to be here.
7:55We have a lot of work to do.
7:56Moms, go ahead and go upstairs.
8:00Spread apart.
8:00We're doing a whole warm-up.
8:05Now ladies, think about this.
8:07It's bluesy, so think of being in a speakeasy or a nightclub.
8:15"Money is the Root of All Evil" is the name of our routine
8:18this week.
8:19Now, the routine is contemporary,
8:22but it has a little bit of flamboyancy to it
8:24and we're going to use real money all over the costumes.
8:28The faces have to come through, and we need to bring it all
8:32or we'll be counting the chump change on the way home.
8:35Make it bigger.
8:365, 6, 7, go.
8:38Duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh.
8:41Don't steal Maddie's pose.
8:43Of course our kids do not go to speakeasies or bars.
8:45I don't know what a speakeasy is.
8:47OK, a speakeasy, also called a blind pig or blind tiger,
8:51is an establishment that illegally
8:54sells alcoholic beverages.
8:56Such establishments came into prominence in the United States
9:00during the period known as Prohibition.
9:02I don't go to any that are illegal.
9:031920 to 1933.
9:05[laughter]
9:05Oh, [inaudible] illegal.
9:08At one point, Kelly, alcohol was prohibited.
9:11So that's why our kids have never been to a speakeasy.
9:15Besides the fact that they are under age
9:16and they wouldn't go into a bar.
9:18Yeah, but there's no such thing as a speakeasy.
9:1990 years ago.
9:20Yeah, it doesn't exist.
9:22I have to say, you know, I wasn't here last week
9:24and all of a sudden like I haven't
9:26felt more like an outsider in my life here.
9:29It was a pretty quiet week relatively,
9:32I would say, up until Saturday.
9:33And Saturday it was like I was in a Twilight Zone.
9:36It was bizarre.
9:37Just shut your mouth.
9:39I didn't mean to do that.
9:41I didn't mean to do that, either.
9:42Get out.
9:44You are a monstrosity of evil.
9:45You're done. No duet.
9:47It was bad.
9:48I thought Saturday was just a horrendous day all around.
9:50So why weren't you answering any of my phone calls
9:52or my texts all week?
9:55You called me once and I missed it.
9:57And I texted you a few times.
9:59No you didn't.
10:00Yeah, I did.
10:01Did I answer?
10:02No.
10:03Then I must not have gotten it because I answer your texts.
10:05CHRISTI: So why didn't you call me?
10:07I was having a bad week and I just
10:09was waiting for you to call, and if I missed one call then
10:13I'm sorry.
10:15ABBY LEE MILLER: 5, 6, 7, go.
10:17Duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, in.
10:19Too late, Mackenzie.
10:21I want you to be looking to the side, the floor,
10:24the opposite direction.
10:26Go ahead, chit chat away.
10:31So what just went on right there?
10:33I asked her why she didn't answer my phone calls.
10:35What did she say?
10:36She said she only got one and I didn't leave a message.
10:38I never leave her a message.
10:40When you see that you missed the call,
10:42you can really just call back.
10:44The I'm having a bad week thing isn't cutting it.
10:47CHRISTI: You know, I'm going to sit up here
10:49because I'm not playing games.
10:51I'm not.
10:52KELLY: I'm just saying how I don't understand why you were
10:56mad at me.
10:57I was mad at you about what happened
10:59and I was waiting for you to call me because of all this
11:01that was going on.
11:02I was just waiting for you to reach out to me.
11:04And I did.
11:05I'm not going to play with you about it.
11:07My feelings were hurt because you know how about this sucks.
11:09All I wanted was a phone call from you.
11:11That's all, Kelly.
11:12When you were going through [bleep],,
11:14I called you every day. - I did call you.
11:15On Friday.
11:16No, I didn't.
11:17I called you Sunday at the competition, the day you left.
11:21Yeah, you called me you said, oh, are you OK?
11:23I miss my partner in crime.
11:24That's all I wanted from you, Kelly.
11:26That's all.
11:30[music playing]
11:36[music playing]
11:44I'll tell you what, when I left,
11:46there was tension between you, Melissa, and Abby and Maddie.
11:50And it's like I came back and I feel like I'm back
11:53and everything is back to normal.
11:56Like Maddie's featured in the dance.
11:57She's happy.
11:58Abby's pleased with her.
11:59You seem like you're back on good terms with Abby.
12:01Like what happened there?
12:02I don't know.
12:03I mean, I argue and then things get better.
12:06I just think it's because she knows this is her team
12:09and, you know, we all need each other and she needs us.
12:13Do you think it's maybe because Sophia decided
12:15she didn't want to be part of our team
12:17and she realized that Maddie is what she got?
12:20Oh, yeah.
12:21I mean, Sophia's not here anymore
12:22and she knows that this is her team.
12:27It might be back to normal for Melissa and Maddie,
12:29but it's certainly not back to normal for Kelly and I.
12:31We're barely talking.
12:32I mean, we're not really even making eye contact.
12:35ABBY LEE MILLER: Oh, your knee's bent, Paige, because you should
12:40be on the outside of Nia.
12:41Let's move Kendall back in and pull her up a little taller.
12:46You, girl in the front, move over to the right.
12:48You shouldn't be center.
12:49Move.
12:50Abby won't refer to Chloe by her name.
12:53She keeps calling her "that girl" or "her" or "she."
12:55I mean, like how belittling can you get to not even say
12:58someone's name?
13:00I want to teach Chloe you can't take anything
13:02for granted, because even if you're gone,
13:05the show must go on.
13:07So Chloe, if you want me to remember your name,
13:10then you need to prove it to me that you can remember.
13:14All right, we're going to break right now.
13:16You have one more day to work on this dance and that's it,
13:19one more day.
13:20Thank you.
13:22Kel, come on.
13:23Come with me to go get the supplies.
13:24Will you come help me?
13:25KELLY: Yeah.
13:26I'm really concerned about what's going on
13:28with Kelly and Christi.
13:29It's crazy.
13:30So I'm going to ask her to come down to the costume shop.
13:33This is my opportunity to find out
13:34what's going on between Kelly and Christi
13:36and maybe I can help out.
13:38So what's going on with you and Christi?
13:41Nothing.
13:42She still isn't talking to me.
13:44Melissa, I didn't do anything wrong, and I tried calling her.
13:48I told her that today.
13:50I tried.
13:51I'm not doing it again.
13:53And I don't want to get in the middle of it, you know.
13:54Don't.
13:55I don't expect you to guy to get in the middle,
13:57but I tried calling her.
13:59She sent me to voicemail.
14:00She did not return my phone call.
14:02I'm done.
14:03It is what it is.
14:03She just has to get over it.
14:05And you didn't do anything wrong.
14:07I mean, we all have done, said things to each other
14:10to hurt each other's feelings.
14:11KELLY: Exactly.
14:12Let's get on with life. OK, come on.
14:14Let's go.
14:20[crying]
14:21What did she say?
14:25And she's being really mean to her.
14:27During rehearsal, Miss Abby really isn't acknowledging me
14:31and saying my name, and that really hurts my feelings
14:33because I'm still a person.
14:36Oh, Chloe.
14:39Abby's refusing to say Chloe's name because she feels
14:41that if she doesn't say Chloe's name,
14:43she takes away her importance.
14:47Don't give her that satisfaction, Chloe.
14:49Don't give her the power to upset you.
14:51Are you OK?
14:52Yeah.
14:52You sure?
14:55You're my daughter.
14:57Come on, you got a little bit of me in you.
14:59Buck up.
15:07Hurry up.
15:09Can't forget what to do there.
15:10You can screw yourself up.
15:12My solo this week is called "Careless,"
15:14and it's a lyrical number.
15:16Abby gave this to me because she knows I could care less
15:19about dance, so that is why I'm doing this solo.
15:23Don't d velopp .
15:24Just hold it and pull your head through.
15:26Now come down.
15:27Watch your alignment coming down.
15:29You're not straightening that right knee.
15:31Pull your feet.
15:32Pull your feet.
15:33Your feet, your feet, your feet.
15:36Abby doesn't teach her her dance early.
15:39She doesn't give her a lot of time during rehearsal.
15:42She gives her a song called "Careless"
15:44that makes Brooke feel like I guess I should care less.
15:47It just feels like she's setting her up.
15:49I just want you to work hard and care about whatever
15:53it is you want to do.
15:54Don't just be the average kid that falls through the cracks.
15:58Don't do anything half bleep.
16:01OK.
16:02All right, you're finished.
16:04Thank you.
16:05Go ahead and rest.
16:06Old ladies need lots of rest.
16:08Am I trying to jab her a little bit?
16:10Absolutely.
16:11Brooke, do you care or could you care less?
16:17We'll see.
16:19I'm pretty sad that we didn't get to do the duet last weekend
16:23because we did all that work, so I definitely
16:26want to do the duet.
16:28I'm going to go in and ask Abby if we can do the duet,
16:31because there's only three numbers
16:33and there's usually four.
16:35Nia wants to go ask Miss Abby if we can do our duet
16:37this week, and I'm very terrified for her
16:40because Abby can be a little scary at times.
16:45Who's that big girl, doing it all on her own?
16:48Last week, Abby pulled Nia's duet right
16:50before it was about to go on and Nia was devastated.
16:53You are a monstrosity of evil.
16:55You want to talk about ugliness?
16:57You're done. You're done.
16:58No duet. - Whatever.
17:00I'm a monstrosity of evil?
17:01Abby giveth.
17:02Abby taketh away.
17:05Nia is determined this week to get that duet back,
17:08and she's going to be herself and asked for it.
17:11I wanted to ask you if Paige and I can
17:14do the duet this weekend.
17:17Uh--
17:18Nia is asking me herself.
17:20Her mother isn't speaking for her.
17:22She's acting mature and taking matters into her own hands.
17:26Nia, that's exactly what I want to see.
17:29You've got my attention.
17:32Let me think about it.
17:33I'm not saying no.
17:34You understand that?
17:35OK.
17:36Let's go.
17:37It's not a yes.
17:38It's not a no.
17:39This is so stressful.
17:42It's not even me and I feel stressed.
17:52Thanks for meeting me.
17:53Yeah, and I tried to text you as much as I can.
17:55No, I know.
17:56And you know what, Melissa?
17:57We don't get along or see eye to eye on everything.
18:01You were the first one to call me.
18:02MELISSA: I was worried about you.
18:04Tonight I'm having drinks with Christi, which is very odd,
18:08but I have to do what I have to do.
18:09Kelly's angry with me and I don't know why.
18:13She's stubborn.
18:14Yeah.
18:15I was like her biggest cheerleader,
18:17and I'm having a bad time.
18:19Why have I not gotten any texts?
18:21It's like you broke up.
18:22Melissa, I have been a part of this team forever.
18:27And like this week, I feel like an outsider.
18:30I feel bad for the whole situation.
18:32You know, Melissa, we aren't always the best of friends.
18:37[laughs]
18:38No.
18:38But thank you for meeting me.
18:41Thank you. - Of course.
18:42You know, I worry about you.
18:43I appreciate it.
18:45I think deep down, Melissa's being a better friend to me
18:47at this point than Kelly is.
18:56So you know the name of the routine is "You Don't Know Me."
19:00Do the judges know who you are?
19:02So maybe they've heard of you, maybe
19:04they know your reputation.
19:05They think they know who you are.
19:06Oh, Maddie, we know her.
19:07Oh, yeah, Maddie, I've heard of her.
19:09No, we're trying to tell them who the real Maddie is.
19:13Maddie's solo this week is called "You Don't Know Me."
19:16It's a little bit edgier for Maddie.
19:19Nice.
19:21Like you think you know "who Maddie is."
19:24Push.
19:25She's very angelic.
19:27She does these lyrical routines that are so pretty.
19:34Maddie is going to prove to everybody that they don't know
19:36who she is.
19:38She's more than you think.
19:39Hey, come on, Paige, Nia.
19:41Now remember, girls, this is the duet.
19:43You asked me to do it.
19:44I pulled it.
19:45You've had two weeks to do this number,
19:47so it should look twice as good as Maddie's solo, twice as good
19:52as Brooke's solo.
19:53They've been doing their dances for a day.
19:55You've had an entire week.
19:56Let's go.
19:58Yesterday, Nia and Paige came to me and asked if they could do
20:00last week's cancelled duet in this week's competition.
20:04I want to see the performance before I
20:06make my final decision.
20:07Does the routine look good?
20:09I don't know, but I'm giving them the opportunity.
20:11So come on, girls, impress me.
20:14Every time you do that kick, get your leg higher.
20:17You're not thinking.
20:18That's what I'm saying, you guys want
20:19to do this-- oh, we want to do the duet.
20:21It's fun.
20:22We want to do it.
20:23You cannot go out there and look any less of a dancer than
20:26Maddie.
20:29Oh, you want both of us?
20:30She said both of us.
20:31She wants both of us down there.
20:32Oh, crap.
20:33I think there should be closure to last week's
20:35experience at the competition and the girls
20:37should do the duet.
20:39I think that would be a nice way to resolve the situation.
20:41Kind of do some Abby psychology, thinking about how you're going
20:45to approach this situation.
20:47The girls have asked me about during the duet this weekend.
20:50So we're doing the duet?
20:51Yes.
20:52You have to do it.
20:53You're going to go out there and you're going to do it.
20:55But I explained to Nia that I pulled the duet because I could
20:58not have that behavior go on.
21:00Like you said a pyramid, other things
21:02have happened in the past.
21:03We can't go backwards, and I'm not going to,
21:07but I am going to go forward.
21:09And going forward, that behavior will not be tolerated.
21:14The girls came.
21:15They asked me.
21:16Paige was part of it, too.
21:17They wanted to do it.
21:18So you know what you're getting yourselves into.
21:20You have to do it.
21:22I don't care what the results are for this competition
21:24of this duet.
21:25At this point, Nia has already won.
21:28The duet is going on stage.
21:30She's going to get to perform it.
21:32And I see maturity in Nia.
21:35They asked me to do it, sink or swim.
21:37Hey, we're going to Florida.
21:39There's sharks.
21:43What's going on with you and Kel?
21:44Have you had a chance to sit down and work it out?
21:47No, but I keep going back to when Kelly wasn't here, who
21:51was the biggest advocate for her to come back?
21:53I know.
21:54I had a bad week.
21:56I needed someone to call me and she didn't call me.
22:00I know, it's like a double whammy that Kelly's mad at you.
22:03Because let's face, that would be her sitting here
22:05consoling you.
22:06My feelings are hurt because when
22:08it was Kelly in my situation, I was her biggest cheerleader.
22:11So where do you go from here?
22:13I mean, do you continue to not speak?
22:15I don't know.
22:17Last week was an extremely hard week for me and Chloe.
22:20And Melissa called me.
22:22Holly called me.
22:23Jill called me.
22:24Kelly never called me.
22:27I don't know.
22:28I am a mess.
22:30I wasn't myself.
22:31I left.
22:32I came back.
22:33I felt more like myself.
22:34But like I'm the snarky bitch of the group.
22:37I'm not the crier.
22:38I'm not the emotional one, and I feel so out of sorts.
22:42I really feel like an outsider this week.
22:44I think because the team went to a competition,
22:46they had all these experiences, they had some crazy fight
22:48with Cathy--
22:50you know, life went on without Christi and Chloe,
22:52and I don't think anybody really even missed us.
22:54Girls, listen up.
22:56If you want fame, start paying right here, right now--
23:00blood, sweat, sore muscles, callouses.
23:04We went to a competition and not one of my students
23:07made the top 10?
23:09That's never going to happen to the Abby Lee Dance Company
23:11again.
23:12This is going to be like bootie camp.
23:14You're going to walk in here and you're going to work,
23:16and you're going to work, and you're
23:18going to work even harder the next day.
23:19The group is not where I want it to be.
23:22I know it's been a long day, but this number is nowhere
23:25near competition-ready.
23:26Lock the back knee in the lunge.
23:28Oh, somebody's foot is flexed.
23:30Whoa.
23:31What is she doing there?
23:33Get up.
23:34Yo, blondie, you were gone for a week, not a year.
23:39If Abby doesn't come around and at least give Chloe
23:41the common respect of calling her by her given name,
23:44you know, I can't say that I'm going to sit back and just
23:46let it happen.
23:47Moms, let's go.
23:49Bring those costumes down.
23:50Girls, we are leaving on a plane tomorrow morning.
23:55This is the third time we're changing it
23:57because you couldn't do it the first two times.
24:00Blondie, we could all be home by now.
24:03You know what?
24:04My daughter has a name.
24:06ABBY LEE MILLER: Not anymore in my book.
24:07CHRISTI: Oh, yes she does.
24:09She has a name, Abby.
24:10So do you.
24:12Starts with a B.
24:22Come on, girls, let's go.
24:23MELISSA: In10sity is a good competition for us this week
24:26because there's a lot of intense feelings between Abby
24:28and Christi, between Kelly and Christi.
24:31So intense is the word this week.
24:33Girls, remember, you are in Fort Lauderdale.
24:35I mean, these kids down here dance.
24:38Dance is part of the culture, so you need to really focus.
24:41This is all about the technique.
24:44You got it?
24:50Whether I called one time or 10 times,
24:52she should have called me back.
24:54MELISSA: She never answers my calls, too.
24:55I don't know what the problem is.
24:57No.
24:58I don't think I did anything wrong.
24:59I don't, either.
25:00Christi, you're awfully quiet.
25:02Where's that fire?
25:02Where's that spunk?
25:05All gone.
25:06You're not a wallflower.
25:08Maybe I turned over a new leaf.
25:11Now, listen to me.
25:13When you get out there, it's your face that wins.
25:16Everybody here has beautiful technique.
25:18Nobody else has Maddie's face.
25:21Girls, duet.
25:23Paige, you don't need to be goofy.
25:24It's fun.
25:25It's hot.
25:26You should look beautiful.
25:28You've got two weeks to work on this routine.
25:29They haven't really worked on it for two weeks, Abby.
25:31They lied.
25:32I know, that's my point.
25:34They don't self-motivate themselves.
25:36They don't get out there and work on it.
25:38When do you want them to work on it?
25:39We had privates but we weren't able to go to those,
25:41but Maddie went to hers.
25:42You're so jealous of that kid, oh my god.
25:44I'm not jealous of Maddie.
25:46You're jealous that I'm talking to her, that I'm
25:47telling you the same thing that I tell her every week.
25:49Because, Abby, we're going on a couple after her.
25:51You made sure her makeup was perfect,
25:53her costume was perfect.
25:54You haven't looked at these two at all.
25:56Well, you handle her makeup.
25:57She's your job.
25:59KELLY: Well, maybe Melissa should learn how to do makeup.
26:01This is Melissa's job, too.
26:03Melissa has never walked into my studio and said,
26:05my children are my job.
26:07Never.
26:08I don't need a job.
26:09I know.
26:10Your kids still needs to point her feet.
26:12That's your job, to teach them.
26:14No.
26:14Money can't buy talent.
26:16Kelly, you want Paige's duet pulled again,
26:19two weeks in a row?
26:20You want Brooke's solo to just disappear?
26:23How about you ask Holly and Christi what running your mouth
26:26has got them.
26:27I suggest you shut up and sit down.
26:30This is Brooke's first solo act.
26:33We'll see if it's her last solo on the team.
26:36Girls, go out there and dance today and don't make me sorry
26:40that I let you do it.
26:41Understand?
26:43There is an elephant in the room,
26:44and for once, it's not Abby.
26:46Kelly and I have this huge feud going on,
26:48and eventually we're going to have to talk it out.
26:50We can't keep going on like this.
26:52I will talk to you as soon as she's done dancing.
26:54I want to get her out there and then I'll talk to you, OK?
26:57Mm-hmm.
27:00[music playing]
27:09ABBY LEE MILLER: I think the judges already
27:10have a preconceived notion.
27:12Sweet, pretty, little Maddie, she's
27:15going to tell the judges and every single person
27:18in that audience, don't judge a book by the cover.
27:21This is Maddie with "You Don't Know Me."
27:24[applause]
27:29[MUSIC - VERENICE BUERLING, "YOU DON'T KNOW ME"]
27:39(SINGING) Yeah.
27:43You don't know me.
27:46You don't know me.
27:50Stop the inquiries.
27:52I keep my business to myself.
27:54Stop the lecturing.
27:56Oh, I'm so done.
27:57You don't know me.
27:59You don't know me.
28:02You don't know me, no.
28:04Stop the inquiries.
28:05Come on.
28:06(SINGING) I keep myself.
28:08Don't lecture me.
28:10Don't lecture me.
28:12Don't lecture me.
28:13No, no.
28:15Oh.
28:19You don't know me.
28:28[applause]
28:32Maddie came back strong--
28:33I think, technically, superb.
28:35When she stepped on that stage, it was all about Maddie.
28:39ANNOUNCER: All right.
28:40Moving back into the team solo division--
28:42KELLY: I think Brooke's very nervous.
28:44She just keeps going off on her own.
28:46Brooke wants to prove to Abby that she can go out there
28:50and she can do this dance and she can do it well.
28:52ANNOUNCER: This is entry number 38--
28:54Brooke with "Careless."
28:56[cheering]
28:59[MUSIC - TRACY JOHNSON,
29:01"CARELESS"]
29:19(SINGING) 15 minutes till the sunrise.
29:24I haven't seen the back of my eyes yet.
29:30As I'm watching Brooke on stage,
29:32she's nailing the routine.
29:34There's fluidity throughout.
29:36The old tricks are there it's like the old Brooke is back.
29:39(SINGING) I couldn't care less.
29:48Careless.
29:49Careless.
29:56[applause]
30:00BROOKE: I think my solo went pretty well.
30:02I didn't fall out of any tricks and I
30:06didn't forget the choreography.
30:07And I think I showed Abby that I cared.
30:13Our duet is about to go up and we're really nervous.
30:15I want to show Miss Abby that she didn't make a mistake
30:18by letting us perform it this week.
30:19We've got to dance.
30:22ANNOUNCER: All right, the next in the junior duet/trio
30:25division, is entry number 18--
30:27Nia and Paige with "The Wild Child and the Wallflower."
30:32[MUSIC - BABYGRAND, "LIGHTS GO OUT"]
30:39(SINGING) 1, 2.
30:40Time's up.
30:42Music got me fired up.
30:44Five minutes in the place and I got them all lined up.
30:49Lights turned off, on.
30:51I can barely see a thing.
30:53Dizzy from the feeling, but I know in this moment,
30:57I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be.
31:01I love it this way.
31:03Strobe lights.
31:05I'm shining on the dance floor.
31:08Ooh, I know you're liking it with the beat.
31:12Take two with me.
31:13Don't stop dancing.
31:14Keep me going out.
31:15Work it out till the lights go out.
31:17Work it out till the lights go out.
31:20Don't stop moving.
31:21Keep me going out.
31:23Work it out till the lights go out.
31:25Work it out till the lights go out.
31:32[applause]
31:33Could their legs have been straighter?
31:34Sure.
31:35Could their feet have been pointed?
31:37Absolutely.
31:38Could they just be better overall dancers?
31:40Of course.
31:42But that's not what this piece was about.
31:44It was telling a story.
31:46It's musical theater, and that's exactly what they went out
31:49there and did.
31:49They entertained the audience.
31:51Whoo-hoo.
31:54I thought Maddie was absolutely amazing.
31:56I thought the duet was good.
31:57What did you guys think? - Yeah.
31:59I thought it was great.
32:00I thought that was her best dance alone.
32:02Good job, Nia.
32:03Good job, Paige.
32:04Good job, Brooke.
32:06That was so good.
32:09Good job, sweetheart.
32:10Good job.
32:11I am shocked.
32:12I think Abby respected Nia as a dancer.
32:15They showed Abby that they want to dance
32:17and that they can dance.
32:20Nia, you know why I pulled the duet last week, right?
32:25OK.
32:26I'm in the dressing room.
32:27All this chaos is happening.
32:29And then your mom snaps.
32:31So before it went too far, I wanted to nip it in the bud,
32:37and the way for me to do that was to say,
32:40I'm pulling the duet.
32:41Understood?
32:42You know, everything happens for a reason.
32:45Just so you realize that.
32:46Now give me a hug, all right? - Thank you.
32:47OK.
32:48Well, I want you to understand.
32:49All right.
32:51Thank you.
32:52So I think this is Miss Abby's version of an apology.
32:55Oh, no.
32:56I'm not apologizing.
32:57I'm glad I pulled it.
32:58Oh, Abby, come on.
32:58I am so glad I pulled it.
33:00All right. Get ready.
33:02Come on.
33:03Let's worry about this next dance, mom.
33:04Here, go put this on.
33:05Somebody should be apologizing for sloppy legs.
33:08Oh my gosh.
33:13[music playing]
33:20Good. You need to tell them.
33:21You're in the wings.
33:22I'm going to be sitting in the audience watching.
33:24The group routine is about to go on stage.
33:26These girls know that money is the root of all evil.
33:30They know what it takes to win.
33:31They also know what it feels like to lose.
33:34Give me a dollar stuck right behind this green glitter.
33:36Do you have any money in your purse, Kelly?
33:38Girls, I'm talking about how much money you have.
33:40Let's pull it up.
33:41Can't stick credit cards on her.
33:43That dress has already been done.
33:45I'm not so sure this is a good use of money,
33:47but Abby wants lots of dollar bills
33:50to put on the children's costumes.
33:51Yeah. Let me see.
33:52Where's your money?
33:53Come on, give me that purse.
33:54Don't hit me in the back with it, just show it to me.
33:56There you go.
33:57I'm not Cathy.
33:59I work hard for my money.
34:01I don't want to use it as play money.
34:03I don't think that you needed to put real money on the costumes.
34:06I just think that sends a wrong message.
34:08Ha, ha, ha.
34:10Oh, Jill's good at that.
34:11ABBY LEE MILLER: Let's go.
34:12Come on, girls.
34:14The group number is about to go on,
34:15and I'm feeling a little bit nervous because I haven't
34:18danced on stage for two weeks.
34:20I just hope that I'm not rusty and I
34:22don't want to let my team down.
34:23ANNOUNCER: How's everybody doing?
34:26Everything just feels off.
34:28Kelly and I aren't exactly enjoying each other's company.
34:30And I'm not going to lie, it's really awkward.
34:32ANNOUNCER: All right, coming to the stage next in the junior's
34:36small group division, this is entry number 23,
34:39entitled "Money is the Root of All Evil."
34:42[applause]
34:45Let's go, girls.
34:48[MUSIC - THE HALLEY DEVESTERN BAND, "MONEY AIN'T TIME"]
35:06(SINGING) You think you can fool the devil
35:11with all your fancy things.
35:16You know it's forever, the time that you'll be dead.
35:24And it's a long way to heaven, my baby, with only your breath.
35:31They say time is money.
35:36Yeah, but money ain't time.
35:41No.
35:43Time.
35:45Yeah.
35:48Money ain't time.
35:56[applause]
36:00ABBY LEE MILLER: I thought the group routine was
36:02very innovative.
36:03I thought it was something different than we had seen
36:05all day in the competition, and that's
36:07going to help us score high.
36:09[music continuing]
36:10[laughs] Look at Ken.
36:14Oh my god.
36:16How's everybody doing?
36:19We are ready to begin with our divisional overalls.
36:22We're going to start off in top-scoring elite junior
36:25duo/trios.

36:32[cheering]
36:35In fourth place, with a score of 263.3 points,
36:39is act number 18, "The Wild Child and the Wallflower."
36:43[cheering]
36:45I think they were lucky to make the top five.
36:47They certainly wouldn't have won last week when I pulled them.
36:51Moving into our team solos.
36:54In sixth place, with a score of 280.7 points,
36:57is Miss Samantha with act number 31.
37:00Fifth place, with a score of 283.4 points,
37:04is Miss Brooke with act number 38, "Careless."
37:07ABBY LEE MILLER: That was the best I've seen Brooke dance
37:10in a long time.
37:11Unfortunately, it wasn't good enough for the first place
37:14overall high score.
37:15But she did show me that she cared, just a little bit.
37:19ANNOUNCER: Ladies and gentlemen, your second runner
37:21up for our elite junior solos is Miss Megan with act number 11,

37:58Congratulations to our highest scoring junior soloist.
38:01Nice job, girls.
38:02She did it again.
38:03Overall high scorer of the junior division.
38:05Way to go, Maddie.

38:43[cheering]
38:44Congratulations.
38:45Let's do a bow on 3.
38:461, 2, 3.
38:47Thank you all very much.
38:48The girls were the first overall high scorer
38:51for the junior group divisions.
38:53I couldn't ask for anything more.
38:55All right, ladies, yay.
38:57Brooke, you made the top five.
38:59Congratulations.
39:00I'm very proud of you.
39:01Paige and Nia, top five.
39:03You were fourth. That was excellent.
39:05And Maddie, congratulations.
39:06Thank you.
39:08You were amazing, Maddie.
39:09Whoo.
39:11I have one last quote--
39:13ladies, sometimes greed is good.
39:17[cheering]
39:21For once in my life, Christi and Kelly are not picking a fight
39:25with me.
39:26They're fighting with each other.
39:28I'm going to walk right out of here and enjoy my weekend.
39:32I told Christi I would talk to her as soon as I was done
39:34with all my confusion. [interposing voices]
39:36But you know what? [interposing voices]
39:37I want to talk to her in private.
39:38Go ahead.
39:40So Christi, if you want to talk, let's go outside.
39:42If you don't want to talk, we don't have to.
39:44You're rolling your eyes.
39:45I am a grown up, and if I want to roll my eyes,
39:48I'm entitled to.
39:48OK.
39:50Why can't we hear?
39:51KELLY: I called you.
39:52You didn't call me back.
39:54You called me on Friday. KELLY: Christi, I called you.
39:55What else do you want me to do? CHRISTI: No, you didn't.
39:57KELLY: Yes, I did.
39:58CHRISTI: And if I didn't answer, you should have called again.
39:59You were having a problem here.
40:01I sat in a parking lot for you to get you and your kids back
40:03here.
40:04I know you did.
40:05I had the worst week.
40:06And when you weren't here, I was sticking up for you--
40:07But you should have called me.
40:09But you don't know it because you didn't answer my phone
40:11call. I called you.
40:12CHRISTI: You didn't call me.
40:13KELLY: No, I shouldn't have had to call you, Christi.
40:14CHRISTI: Are you kidding me?
40:15I did nothing wrong.
40:17I was having a really bad week and a real friend
40:18would've picked up a phone and called me.
40:20But I'm wrong because I said that you talk to Melissa more
40:24than you talk to me.
40:25You hurt my feelings.
40:26I don't--
40:27And you hurt mine.
40:28I called you.
40:30What else do you want me to do?
40:31Get in your car and drive to my house.
40:33No, I'm not driving to your house.
40:34CHRISTI: Why? - I called you.
40:36If you can't answer my phone calls, then [bleep] you.
40:39[bleep] you.
40:40[bleep] you.
40:41Like seriously, Christi.
40:42CHRISTI: Thank you. KELLY: You're welcome.
40:44Yeah, thanks.
40:49ABBY LEE MILLER: Next on "Dance Moms."
40:51So where is Abby, I wonder?
40:53Unfortunately, Baby has passed away.
40:55Oh.
40:56ABBY LEE MILLER: (CRYING) What if something was wrong
40:58and I could have done something about it?
41:00I wasn't here when she needed me.
41:02I was with somebody else's kids.
41:05[music playing]
41:07Hi.
41:07If I knew you'd be here.
41:09You had to expect that I would be here.
41:10This is my hometown.
41:11ANNOUNCER: And wants everybody to know that routine
41:14was dedicated to Broadway Baby.
41:17Thank you so much for the dedication.
41:19She didn't want the tribute from the whole group,
41:21but when it's from Maddie, she cries.
41:23You would kill us in our sleep if it meant your kids would get
41:25ahead.
