This week, we will be traveling to our In10sity Dance
Competition in Cleveland, Ohio.
[laughs]
You know what Ohio means.
Cathy.
[groans]
We also have a duet.
And the name of the duet is "That Girl Has Gotta Be
Kissed."
Maddie, you will be the female lead in the duet.
You looking for the boy?
I'm looking for the boy.
I'm looking for the he.
And your partner is Gino--
Gino from Cathy's former team.
WOMAN 1: Look how cute Gino is now.
WOMAN 2: He is cute.
This is about going and making Cathy eat applesauce.
[music playing]
You gotta straighten that knee.
You need to sit down and look at him with your lips
way out, like you are going to kiss him.
And then you turn away.
Maddie will be doing a musical theater routine with Gino.
Partner work is new to Maddie.
She has to do a lot of acting.
And if Maddie wants to be a star, she has to own this role.
Boom.
In.
Back.
Right there.
You gotta kiss him.
I should wait 'til onstage?
(LAUGHING) Should you want 'til you're onstage?
I shouldn't have my first kiss like this,
and especially in a dance.
It's horrible!
WOMAN 2: She's embarrassed.
Yeah!
Kissing a boy.
[giggles]
[screams]
- Kiss on the lips? - Ew.
I had to! It's in the dance!
Maddie!
Kissing Gino in the studio is not what
I envisioned for my first kiss.
If it was Zac Efron, I would kiss him.
But not Gino.
You had your first kiss!
Before me!
No, it wasn't really.
No, but there was a kiss!
ABBY: Gino, don't even look at them.
Just smile, head up high.
Using my cast-offs, huh?
CATHY: Abby, enjoy Gino.
I don't need him.
She can have my sloppy seconds.
I'm feeling very confident.
The duet is a hands-down winner. Oh!
See that was nice.
ABBY: Maddie, get up in your feet higher on that back walk.
Gino, more face on all of that.
Come on, flirt!
It's going to be about the face.
It's going to be about the emotion.
And it's about you being better than whatever
girl's over there.
And it's about you being better than whatever boy's over there.
You've been wanting this for a long time.
Make it count.
ANNOUNCER: Next to the stage, act number 15, a lyrical duet.
Please welcome Alyssa and Evan performing "Stars Align."
[applause]
[MUSIC - STAMPEDE, "STARS ALIGN"]
You do something to me, baby.
I've always wanted you to know.
[applause]
MADDIE: I'm very nervous to go up against Candy Apple's.
I've never done a girl and a boy duet before.
We just really need to pull it together.
ANNOUNCER: This is Gino and Maddie performing "This Girl's
Just Gotta Be Kissed."
[applause]
[MUSIC - PEEK A GOOM, "THIS GIRL'S JUST GOTTA BE KISSED"]
She's gotta be kissed.
Make no mistake about it.
That chick's sure getting kissed.
[applause]
GIRL: Is it good?
It was so good.
- Your love is so cute. - What?
Ew.
I don't like him that way.
I think Maddie was a pro.
She went out there.
She handled the acting.
She handled the partner work.
Wish I could say the same about Gino.
Now, that other duet, they were amazing.
I just hope that the judges were watching
my Maddie and not Gino.
So first up, your top highest elite team duo and trio.
Second place, act number 16, "This Girl's
Just Gotta Be Kissed."
[applause]
And your first overall winner is act number 15, "Stars Align."
[applause]
It feels good enough to win.
But to beat Abby's golden child, Maddie, that is fantastic.
ABBY: Gino, in that duet, I don't Maddie to be second.
And I'm going to go ahead and send Gino and his stuff.
And I need to have you leave.
WOMAN 3: He was fabulous!
WOMAN 4: There's nothing wrong with him.
He's a good kid.
Thank you anyway. Goodbye.
Bye, girls. - Bye, guys.
Good luck.
Aside of the fact that I hate you and I can't stand you,
what's happening? What's going on with Gino?
Well, Cathy, this clearly needs to be something
you need to talk to Abby about.
OK, well, since I'm not getting anything out of you guys,
I'll move along.
It would be a little bit more classier if you did.
I have lunch to eat.
WOMAN 2: You could probably skip a meal.
CATHY: Oh, please!
Christy, your butt's looking like a $40 cow!
What's a $40 cow?
