[producer] Okay, Brooke.
Who's cuter? Was I cuter then or now?
[upbeat music playing]
Hey, guys. It's Brooke.
Hey, guys. It's Kendall.
[laughing]
Hi. I'm Chloé.
Hi. I'm Paige.
Ew! My lips were real crusty.
Hey, guys. It's me, Kalani.
Hey, everyone. I'm JoJo.
So happy. Just so happy.
And we are looking back at...
Abby.
[laughing]
[music continues]
[Abby] Kendall, you were second.
[sighs heavily] You know how I feel about second.
Second place is the first loser on stage.
Abby had so many sayings. We called them Abby-isms.
I'm Abby Lee Miller. That's what I do.
Sometimes, I will hear quotes in my head
that Abby has said to me.
There are no second chances.
You don't put all your eggs in one basket.
Kendall, you are back on probation.
It's like, "Whoa."
[together] Save your tears for the pillow.
Everyone's replaceable.
If you drop your hat, you die.
No, I'm just kidding. That was only one week.
We were just talking about this the other day.
All the girls and I, we were like,
"What are a few things
that stuck with us that Abby would say?"
This is your shot, and you better win.
You don't wanna be a one-trick pony.
It's tough getting to the top,
but it's even tougher staying there.
The number one thing is...
[together] Were you raised in a barn?
Because when we would attempt
to put our feet on a couch with shoes on,
she would have a conniption.
Second is the first one to lose.
I unfortunately cannot escape "second is the first to lose."
And it's not even my opinion.
But I heard it so many times that now I believe it.
I don't like being second. You know that.
Like, when I'm watching a competition or the Olympics,
I see the person who got the silver,
and I'm like, "Second is the first to lose,"
and then I'm like, "My God!"
So toxic! [laughing]
[together] We're all gonna have fun!
I like that one. I say that to my friends
when we're trying to rally to go out.
Oh, all the time.
I mean, Abby is playing in my head all the time.
Anytime I go to cry, I'm like, "Don't you cry."
[together] No crying children. None.
"Don't cry. Save your tears for your pillow."
All the time. Abby's always in this brain.
[upbeat music playing]
We're so cute.
♪ Glitter on the dancefloor ♪
[bleep] I need a wipe.
I need a wipe. [sighs heavily]
-I need a wipey. -[woman] It's right here.
I liked when Abby would be a wackadoodle in rehearsal.
That was always the best.
Let's go. Dun-dun-dun-dun. It's this.
[woman] No. We're not dancing in the street.
[screaming shrilly]
Oh, my God. She's iconic.
-[door opens] -[Abby] Hey, guys.
I'm here.
I'm very sick.
Sometimes, Abby would come to competitions
looking a little ragged.
So, you know, I was there to help.
You do have a hairbrush, right?
[Abby] What?
Abby, your hair!
Yeah, I said I'm gonna go--
Just because you have a rash
doesn't mean you can't brush your hair.
It's in roll-- It's in pincurls.
[Jill] Have you looked in a mirror?
[laughs]
Her rollers...
She's crazy.
I used to do makeup at a Chanel counter,
and I love it.
So I really had no problem
asking Abby if she needed a little help with her makeup.
[Abby] You're very vain.
I have confidence no matter what.
You know what? I think she is exactly who she is,
and you take it or leave it.
[bleep] I need a wipe.
I need a wipe. [sighs heavily] Oh, God!
-I need a wipey. -[woman] It's right here.
-There you go. -You got it?
There you go.
Oh, my God! It's almost like I was not a dancer or something.
[upbeat music playing]
You're doing amazing, sweetie.
[all cheering]
[Abby] Look at my baby doll! Hello! Baby!
[singsongy] Broadway Baby.
That dog... [laughing] I don't really have much to say.
Oh, it's a baby girl! Look!
Did you get a haircut? Did you get a haircut? I heard.
Broadway Baby is my dog.
The crusty-eyed white dog.
Aw. She was cute in her own way.
She is the best thing in my life.
She doesn't roll her eyes at me.
She is wonderful, absolutely wonderful.
Broadway Baby was treated like a real baby.
I remember her being pushed in a stroller.
But most people bury their dog, and...
Broadway Baby is probably still with Abby.
[Abby] It's been a few weeks since Broadway Baby got sick
and passed away,
and I'm still dealing with it.
People have dogs, you know. Their dog...
They "put it down," and then they get another one.
And I'm like-- I-- I just can't do that.
-There's no way. -I'm with you.
I'm still trying to figure out what I'm gonna do with Baby.
Look at this baby doll.
-Aw. I mean, look at her. -[Melissa] Can I see?
She looks like a stuffed animal, doesn't she?
-I just-- -She's so sweet.
And the eyes and her nose.
You know, go to a reputable taxidermy place.
Stuffed. [giggles] Broadway Baby is stuffed.
-[somber music playing] -[Abby, sadly] Aw!
Oh, my God! How beautiful!
That is so... [bleep] ...weird.
[Maryen] Oh, Baby, you are beautiful.
[man] Those eyes, especially, are very special eyes
that I ordered specifically for her.
I remember I went home to my dog
and was like, "We're never doing that to you."
It gives me the heebie-jeebies. I don't like it.
From what she looked like at the hospital to now,
-she looks beautiful. -She looks like a hundred bucks.
Look at her-- Look at her fur.
-[Maryen] Oh. -[Abby] She had a good life.
[tearfully] But I should've put her in commercials.
[Maryen] Mm-hmm.
[Abby] Leave it open so she can breathe.
-[man] Okay. -[Abby laughs]
Where does she put her? Does she keep her
on her nightstand? Like...
Oh, no. No, no, no, no.
-Oh, we're on? -[laughing]
Just be cool. We're gonna be really cool.
Don't try to be, like, a tweenager.
I know. Yeah. Okay. [laughs]
Isn't this neat?
-[girl 1] Look at that couch. -[Mackenzie] Oh, my God!
This is the time Abby took us out for ice cream.
[Abby]
We were working for hours on end.
So I thought we would just take a little break,
and I took them next door to get ice cream.
What do you think this spoon is for?
-[all] Ice cream! -Are we right?
I forgot about this.
-Yes! -Cheers!
[girls speaking indistinctly]
Can we get some service here? My God!
It's so interesting. Looking back at season one,
you can really feel that family dynamic between us all.
-Oh, my God! -[girls exclaiming]
No! Give it to me!
You have ice cream right there. Right...
there.
[girls giggling]
It makes me so happy to know that, at one point,
that was what we had.
We definitely had some good times.
We're in Las Vegas. I wanna have a good time.
I do not want your mothers starting all this crap with me.
It's your job...
When I correct you, I'm correcting you.
Abby never let us get away from things.
I thought, "Maybe I'll get a break, go do something fun."
Shh! Enough! The group number could win.
It's contemporary.
Even out for ice cream, Abby's gotta talk,
and talk, and talk about dance.
Can't we talk about something other than dance for once?
[upbeat music playing]
[all] Hi!
I love you.
[Abby] This week, moms,
I might not be there.
As you know, my mother is dying.
She's not gonna get better.
She's not gonna be cured.
Right now,
what the hospice care tries to do
is to make her comfortable.
[somber music playing]
Thank you so much for letting me be
such a part of your mom's life.
These past couple of years, we've been...
Your mom, like I told her today...
She looked right in my eyes, and I said,
"You know, Mom, you are my mom now,
because my mom left me so long ago."
I love her so much.
I love you.
What was so great about the show, in my experience, is
there was a little bit of good and a little bit of bad
interspersed into every single day
we filmed the show.
So it was all worth it to me,
because I found my forever family.
-It's okay. It's okay. -[Chloé crying]
It's okay. It's okay.
[Chloé] You know, we all have those moments
where we get a little overwhelmed,
and it's really important to remember that.
I think people really related to us
'cause they saw our bond
and our support of one another, you know?
Let me do my job right and get rid of this gum. Hold on.
[upbeat music playing]
[laughing]
Oh, my God!
Yay!
Aren't we adults now?
[all laughing]
Hold on one second. She's right here.
-Abby? -Who is it?
Some guy.
[Abby] Hello?
Oh! Hi! How are you?
[comical music playing]
From what I could take away besides dance,
Abby loved food and boys.
[Melissa]
and she starts being really giddy.
I don't know who's on the other line,
but I know it's a guy.
So you're supposed to leave tomorrow,
but you're staying so we can go out? That's nice.
Whoever she's talking to, she looks happy.
[laughing]
She's so crazy.
[Jill]
A guy would be great for her.
Whatever keeps Abby happy is good for all of us.
I might be a little rusty. I haven't been out in a while.
I need a little hubba-hubba.
That's-- that's definitely right.
[laughs] Oh, my God!
I know. That's ridiculous, right?
-That is a true story. -That's wild.
I hope she goes on a date. Maybe she'll get laid
-so she's not so miserable. -[laughing]
I gotta warm up. It's 10:00 a.m.
Oof! This is when I'm talking [bleep] about Kalani.
-[Abby] It's a surprise? -[Jill] It is a surprise.
[Abby] Ooh. Whoa!
[Jill] You guys are getting personal massages.
-Hi. -Can I interrupt you?
I have a surprise for both of you.
-For us? -Yeah.
I know you've been working really hard.
And I want you to know I appreciate your hard work.
I have a surprise in studio C.
-[Abby] Oh, it's surprise? -[Jill] It is a surprise.
[Abby] Ooh. Whoa!
[Jill] You guys are getting personal massages.
-[Abby] Thank you so much. -[Jill] You're welcome, Abby.
No one has ever done anything like this
my whole entire life.
Abby had been working really hard.
She had been working the children hard.
Abby and Gianna needed a little break.
So I brought in two very nice-looking masseuses.
"Masseurs"?
Kendall actually came up with the idea.
-I swear to God. -[Abby] No way!
I definitely did not know about the men
giving my dance teacher a massage
for a special part.
No. That was just...
She needed a break. She said it.
No mom had ever done that for her before.
[Abby] Ow!
[calming music playing]
[man] How's that pressure?
-[Abby] Fine. -[man] Good.
As you can see, Abby needed it, and she loved it.
-Mm-hmm. -And Gianna did too.
-Where's mine? -I...
I'm having a tough time in college.
-[Jill] I know. -[both laugh]
And there isn't anything wrong with treating your dance teacher
with a little massage now and then.
[Kendall] Mmm.
[Abby groans]
