[MUSIC PLAYING]
ABBY: This week we're traveling to Wilmington Ohio,
and we're attending the Dream Maker Competition.
I'm doing two solos.
The first solo goes to Lilly.
The name of your solo is Mommy Dearest.
And the final solo goes to Savannah.
Your solo is Metamorphosis because I've seen a change
in you, but I need to see more.
SAVANNAH: Miss Abby gave me a soul of this week,
and I am a little nervous because my competition
is Lilly, and I'm gonna to really
have to work hard to beat her.
Now the pressure's on she has to dance perfect.
Oh my gosh.
Stop.
I want you to put the hanger behind you
and hold your face across you, like this,
like the hanger's chasing you.
That's good.
Stacey asked for a more advanced dance,
so this is probably the toughest routine I've ever given Lilly.
And now Lilly has to actually prove that she can do it.
Don't separate your feet when you roll through.
Is she going to beat Savannah?
We'll see.
[KIDS CHEERING]
Erin, how are you feeling today?
I'm great.
Everything's perfect.
Well, it's not perfect.
She, like, walked up to me was like,
don't come at me today, in the dressing room,
and I have no idea why she would say that.
Savannah, let's go.
Savannah.
Don't listen.
Erin was freaking out over the solo.
You could see it over the course of the week,
she's getting more and more stressed.
So this, I'm not really surprised about it.
When you yell, you're not just upsetting your child,
you're upsetting everyone.
That's not my intention.
You're the one upsetting her because you're
embarrassing her.
OK
ANNOUNCER: Up next our dream maker stage,
let's welcome Savannah performing Metamorphosis.
[APPLAUSE]
I'm feeling a little nervous right now.
If I don't do that well, I think she could be really
disappointed in me, and I just have to go out on stage
and nail it.
[MUSIC - RUPERT POPE, "BUTTERFLY"]
(SINGING) Watch me burst out into color.
Gonna break out and paint the sky.
Want to live my and shine so bright.
See me dance like a butterfly.
Watch me burst out into color.
Gonna break out and paint the sky.
Want to live my life and shine so bright.
See me dance like a butterfly.
Watch me burst out into color.
Gonna break out and paint the sky.
Want to live my life and shine so bright.
See me dance like a butterfly.
Watch me burst out into color.
See me dance like a butterfly.
Watch me burst out into color.
Like a butterfly.
[APPLAUSE]
My god, I got him really, really, really worried, like--
Then stop.
It's gonna be good.
--more than normal.
It's gonna to be good.
Savannah was amazing despite all of her mama drama
this morning.
Lilly is gonna to have to knock it out of the park,
or she'll never beat Savannah.
ANNOUNCER: Up next on our Dream Maker
stage, please welcome Lilliana, performing Mommy Dearest.
STACEY KETCHMAN: This is the hardest dance
that Abby's ever given Lilly.
This is Lilly's big chance to be taken
seriously as a mature dancer.
[MUSIC - THREE LAWS, "SAFE PLACE"]
(SINGING) Don't pull a single rock
from me, I might be distant
Interrogation leads to an avalanche.
The hard hit will feel close up, up close.
The avalanche.
We rise, we rise, we fall, we fall,
Don't pull a single rock from me, oh.
I've just exploded in real time.
In a safe place.
I've just exploded in real time.
Pieces fly with no reason or rhyme.
I splinter, a cracked mirror, a broken face,
I want to be whole.
In a safe place.
[APPLAUSE]
All right, starting with our top four, nine to 11 soloists.
Oh God I thought Savannah and Lilly both an outstanding job.
Now, of course, nobody's routine is perfect.
Your second place, Lilliana with Mommy Dearest.
[APPLAUSE]
I'm a little disappointed because it feels
like I let down Abby again, but I hope
she'll give me another chance.
ANNOUNCER: And your highest scoring
nine to 11 soloists will be Savannah with Metamorphosis
[APPLAUSE]
TEAMMATE: Go Savannah.
I am super excited.
I've watched the ALDC team since I was five years old,
and now I just won first with my solo,
and that just made the cherry on top of the cupcake.
Savannah, congratulations.
You were the overall high score winner.
[APPLAUSE]
Lilly, you were second, and you
know how I feel about second.
[BASS DRUM ECHOES]
Girls, ready, listen to me.
When you're judging and you sit right here, OK--
Why did you do that?
Well, I didn't do it on purpose.
Oh.
Hey, I lost all my hair.
I'm worried about that kid.
I don't, I just don't know what's going on with her.
But we thought you were great.
We both did.
ABBY: No you didn't, sweetheart.
You didn't let me down.
But every time you step on that stage, people expect more.
Understood?
I'm really starting to worry about Lilly.
But she's cracked, and it doesn't look
good for the new ALDC team.
