[SOBBING]
She's fine.
(SOBBING) I'm an outcast.
I don't give a crap!
Nina, open the door!
(SOBBING) I've had a pretty rough two weeks.
Today was the worst day of my life.
Get out!
No, you hit me!
You hit me!
Get out!
Christie's actions may cost her daughter this competition.
Don't cry.
She's not going to sit here and do that to you.
You're good.
For her coming in, trying to rattle us up,
you know, that's just [BLEEP] up.
OK, come on.
Bring it together.
You OK?
I'm fine.
WOMAN: You OK?
Yeah?
OK.
Here we go.
Five.
This is the dance world.
Put your big girl panties on and giddy on up.
[CRYING]
Oh, no, no.
Oh, no, no, no.
We're not cutting her hair.
[LAUGHTER]
Too far, guys.
Like, really.
[CACKLING]
She's having a really day, so back off.
I'm dead serious.
What is wrong?
[CRYING]
I have hair extensions, but it's not like it's a bad thing.
It's just to make my hair longer.
And that just made me really upset because she's being
really mean to me and my mom.
I really didn't need anything else to go wrong today.
You know, it's one thing for a nine-year-old to cry.
But for a 13-year-old to cry every five minutes
is just a bit much.
It's crazy.
She is crazy town.
You know what?
Hair extensions are beautiful.
You are beautiful.
I know I'm pretty, but like, I'm not cocky about it.
I'm just humble.
And people are jealous of that.
And they just sometimes wish they could be me.
And honestly, they don't even know.
Sometimes it's really hard to be me, like right now.
She was mean to me.
Because she was mean to you?
Yes, she was.
Some people are mean in this world.
Today was the worst day of my life.
[SNIFFLE]
MAN: Nuh-uh.
Foom, foom.
You've got to focus. Come on.
Come on.
If you can't focus, then there's no point.
Then you're not retaining it.
GIRL: I have so much pressure, because I have
to do great in this routine.
And if you make a couple of mistakes
at this point in the competition,
they might send you home.
And I mean, I want to win this so badly.
So I have to do my routine perfectly.
I'm just feeling a lot of pressure in my rehearsal today.
I mean, I've had a pretty rough two weeks.
Just don't let it pressure her.
Brianna, what was your story?
At school sometimes--
sorry.
I'm an outcast sometimes.
And people ignore me.
And then sometimes--
Take a breath.
She's bullied at school.
[CRYING]
Dance is the place that you're at home.
I was surprised that she shared it,
because that's something that she doesn't share,
and she keeps it inside.
Use all that pain and all that agony for a sweet victory.
Kyleigh Jai, what was the back foot doing on the grand jete?
That foot was dragging behind you.
But you also missed that whole part.
ABBY: At the lay out?
WOMAN: They were up, they were moving on, and you were-- yeah.
I mean, you--
ABBY: You had the big kick lay out.
All right, girls.
Thank you.
Great job.
One more time, give it up!
WOMAN: It's OK.
It's OK.
It's OK, baby.
It's OK. Cry.
Cry.
It's OK, baby.
It's OK.
Shh.
Honey, it's OK.
It's OK.
This is going to be one of many, many, many learning lessons
for you.
Do you understand me?
One of many.
ABBY: Elisabeth, your head is not in the game.
My mom and dad, they're getting a divorce.
And it's just been really hard on me.
Elisabeth, her breakdown--
I don't know if it's sincere.
But Erin is definitely using her divorce to her advantage.
You will be moving on in this competition.
[APPLAUSE]
ELISABETH: I thought I was going home tonight.
And I have another week here.
And so I feel like I can improve myself more.
Elisabeth can be a wimp sometimes.
Great job, Zack.
Great job.
I don't think anybody cried as hard as they
did for Zack for anybody.
I know it's hard.
You guys are all going to miss Zack, huh?
[CRYING]
It's going to be a long night.
She likes him.
She has a crush on him.
Like, her heart is broken right now.
Love you.
I love you, too.
It's really sad that Zack left, because he
was, like, my best friend.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
Smile.
This is, like, the "Girls Want To Have Fun."
Smile.
I'm running in, looking at Lexine not doing it
the way she was doing it during the rehearsal.
You're not going to dance? It's fine.
No, I am.
OK, so don't cry.
I think my mom is putting a bit more pressure on me
than the past.
MARIA: Three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
Lexine, do you want to walk out right now?
We can pack and go home.
LEXINE: No.
OK, so show it to me!
OK, that's it.
We're packing.
I'm sorry.
No, no, no.
OK, so stop it!
You know I'm going to go home.
You know we don't need to do this.
If I don't see that perfect, we're going to just go home.
Asia tells me she overheard Madison
saying, why is Asia here?
And it really hurt Asia's feelings.
It's all right.
You're OK, right?
OK.
It's OK.
Just be strong, OK?
You're here for a reason.
Not everyone's going to always be friendly, OK?
It's competition.
It's hard, OK?
(SOBBING) OK.
Whoever thinks I'm going home tonight, they're wrong.
No one's going to touch me.
If they touch me, I'm bringing back with claws.
And big ones.
Brianna, open the door.
It's me.
All right, all right, all right.
WOMAN: Brianna, I swear to god, you'd better let me in.
Don't psych yourself out.
All right.
Brianna is freaking out.
I'm just not used to her being that extremely nervous.
BRIANNA: I'm stressed out to perform.
This is the first time I'm doing a solo in this competition.
This is really important to me.
You're so pretty.
Thank you.
OK.
Asia, I thought these two girls smoked you.
I didn't, either.
I agree.
You save those tears for your pillow, kiddo.
[JEERING]
I felt that Yvette's issues hurt Asia.
[SOBBING]
Why are you crying?
Everyone gets critiqued. You did good.
Mommy's proud.
Right?
So no crying, no tears.
You didn't get a bad critique.
Are you OK?
No, she's fine.
Honey.
I hate to see Asia cry.
But does this mean Kristie gets to go home?
You're fine.
WOMAN: You're a strong girl, too.
You just need to fix your--
Lexine, today is not your day.
[APPLAUSE]
Lexine will do great with whatever she does,
and I will always be there for her.
It's time for us to go, Lexine.
[CRYING]
Oh, don't cry.
Don't cry.
Don't cry, baby.
Don't cry.
The final solo on this stage.
Do you feel that that performance just
won you the $100,000 and the scholarship
to the Joffrey Ballet in New York?
This journey has been so amazing.
And I think, besides taking all the corrects that you guys have
given me and try to fix them and show you that I deserve this,
I walked down on that stage and I saw my grandma.
And she's been helping me throughout this experience.
But--
[APPLAUSE]
My goal for this was to show you guys that I unleashed my soul,
and showed you guys the dancer that I really am.
So thank you for that opportunity.
[APPLAUSE]
Well, I think, from the very beginning,
from the first time I stood on that stage with you and met
you, you have been open-minded.
You have been a warrior.
You have been an athlete.
And I want to commend you on that.
[APPLAUSE]
BRIANNA: Thank you.
Elisabeth, today is not your day.
[CRYING]
ABBY: Thank you.
[APPLAUSE]
[CRYING]
My heart's broken for Elisabeth.
You know, you win some, you learn some.
So I think, for her, this is a "learn some."
Hey, listen.
This is not fair!
You're going to win the war, OK?
What I'll remember most about this experience
is the joy that it brought my daughter.
Listen to me, Elisabeth.
You already won by being here.
I don't care!
This meant the world to me!
[CHUCKLING]
Hadley should have been the one that left.
She was horrible!
There's going to be so many more things, so much more
this world has to offer you.
(SCREAMING) I don't give a crap!
OK, stop that right now.
ELISABETH: [SOBS]
