ABBY LEE MILLER: This is the group routine,
"Cast The First Stone," referring to your moms,
and why does somebody-- and it's a different person every time--
have to open their mouth, and say something nasty,
and start all the bickering.
I don't know.
But let's see what we have from the top.
Face me and do it.
You're supposed to touch without pausing.
YOLANDA: Clearly, "Cast The First
Stone" is a dig on us moms.
But I think we've learned our lesson.
We know that when we get along, Abby pays
a lot more attention to us.
So we just need to keep Abby on our good side.
But in order to do that, our girls have got to win.
ABBY LEE MILLER: I don't like that pose.
And she did front pounce in and then
double, like, to arabesque.
She's just capable of more.
WOMAN: Nice, guys.
[light applause]
WOMAN: Honestly, for still having another day,
that looks really good, even though I guess it's not done.
That's a problem.
ABBY LEE MILLER: Girls, come on.
Let's see what's happening.
All right, let's do it from the top.
[ethereal music playing]
WOMAN: It's a challenging piece.
This is what I've been waiting for.
WOMAN: Mm-hm.
Compared to what the Juniors have, this is not easy.
Straighten those elbows.
Try to get them straight.
All right.
I think this is going to be another "wow" routine.
This routine, all the girls are amazing.
WOMAN: Well, I think Abby's working with them more.
YOLANDA: And I think it was a benefit that the Juniors are
shooting that commercial today, because it's
just Abby with them.
Abby pulling Peyton out of the dance
only intensifies her expectations of our girls
this week, because we have the strongest technical dancers
left for this routine.
We need to show that we can handle a very difficult
lyrical routine and that Abby made
the right decision by giving our girls those jackets last week.
Watch your posture.
Have a neck.
Is that casting the first stone right there?
Is that what you're doing, Elliana,
you're throwing that first stone out to her?
OK, look at me.
Cast the first stone.
I pulled Peyton out of the dance.
I wanted her to take her time this week
and worry about the duet.
If you guys go out there and you're a hot mess,
what was the point in taking Peyton out?
The four of you should be perfection, amazing.
Got it?
OK, let's go.
GIRL: Let us please do really well on stage
and not forget any of our dances.
We need to really show our technique,
and just land everything, and hit it,
because we really need to prove to Abby that we can really
win first with our technique.
ANNOUNCER: Moving right along to ages 7 and 8,
"Cast The First Stone," number 102.
[cheers and applause]
[ethereal music playing]
WOMAN: (SINGING) Turn the light off.
I'm burning from the inside, but I'm glowing on the outside.
Certain I can change.
[cheers and applause]
ABBY LEE MILLER: They look absolutely stunning.
They're beautiful.
GIRL: Did you see Abby at the end?
She was like, yes!
All right, let's give them a big round of applause.
Come on!
[cheers and applause]
All right, moving into the top overall Petite Group.
WOMAN: I think the Junior Elite team takes Abby for granted.
This season, Abby has started to pull away
from the Junior Elite team and has directed that attention
towards the Minis.
We have to win to show Abby that she
made the right decision to work closely with our girls
this week.
ANNOUNCER: High-scoring Petite Group.
Give it up for "Cast The First Stone!"
Come on up.
[cheers and applause]
Beautiful job.
And your studio?
Abby Lee Dance Company.
Let's give it up for the top Junior Petite group.
Take a bow!
[cheers and applause]
