You're the winners!
You beat Kathy again.
Let's go!
We're entering the dance studio,
feeling pretty good about ourselves
until in walks Tracey.
Already, we can tell this is going to be a tough week.
Tracey is a big force to be reckoned with.
Let's get to the pyramid.
Moving up, Sarah.
You worked hard.
But I think you were a beat behind.
Not true.
Sarah, you don't need to be here on the pyramid.
You don't need to be here at all.
Why?
She is part of this company.
It is not fair.
It's not right.
I will bench Sarah from the group routine
if you keep it up.
JILL: You don't get it.
You're the bus that is running over your daughter's chances
every time you're here on this team.
Sarah's a great kid.
We don't have a problem with her.
It's you.
Abby's big mantra this season is,
I'm getting kids that are amazing
and mothers that are in line.
TRACEY: Wait a minute.
Sarah's the only one in this room that is coming off of week
after week winning after winning.
I just don't understand.
Keep it up.
You picked the exact opposite of that with this mother,
because she is the craziest dance mom I've ever seen.
CHRISTY: The group number this week
is called "Gypsies, Tramps, and Thieves."
Sarah is stuck in the back of this number
while Kendall has the leading role and a solo.
But you know what?
I will keep my mouth shut and do whatever it takes,
because I don't want to be kicked out.
Maybe once they put their costumes on,
they will be able to have more fun with it
and get into the characters.
Sometimes you need a costume.
[gasps] Look.
I love that.
Opening up a little package, it's like Christmas.
Sarah, you don't have a costume.
We're trying to get another one made.
You weren't supposed to be in the group.
It was just the original five.
And I kept you, and that's the problem.
- This is not right. - All right.
Call your moms.
Get them down here.
Come one.
Let's go.
These are gorgeous.
You like them?
Love them.
Abby, there better be a costume.
She better be in the number.
That's all I have to say.
It's not fair, Abby.
Life is not fair.
Obviously, in the Abby Lee Dance Company, it's not fair.
But let's get the story straight.
Sarah is not in the Junior League Competition Team.
So when I ordered the costumes, I didn't have one made for her.
So lo and behold, I'm able to get her one.
It should get here.
And if it doesn't, she'll go away with us.
She'll go to the competition.
She'll live.
She'll learn.
That itself is an education.
It's the world according to Abby.
It's not fair.
Unfortunately, Abby, you're not God.
So it's not the world according to Abby.
Well, in this studio, guess what?
Guess what?
You know what my thoughts are on that?
I think this studio needs revamped.
And I think the garbage needs to be taken out.
And I think that starts with you.
[music playing]
OK, Sarah, you're finished.
Goodbye.
I am not going to put up with any parent coming in here,
calling me a name.
It's never the kid's fault, but somehow, the kid always
ends up paying for the parent's mistakes.
She threw her child under the bus.
And they both got kicked out.
If you can go by yourself on the bus, then you can go.
All right?
Sarah is so upset.
And at this point, I really don't know what to say to her.
She can't do it.
I couldn't give Sarah over.
She is home-schooled.
She has been with us since birth.
I can't just trust the fact that they're
going to take care of her.
Peanut, I can't, honey.
I can't let you go.
I can't stand Tracey.
However, I would take Sarah on the bus
and take her under my wing.
I think that she's holding Sarah back.
If I would have done that with my kids
and held their hand every inch of the way,
they would've never gotten this far.
You're nine years old.
Kids go away with me when they're, like,
seven and eight by themselves.
You'll be fine.
You're going to be with the kids.
We're going to get off.
We're going to eat dinner.
We're going to maybe go to a movie or something.
And then you're going to go to bed
and get ready for the competition.
She should just drive herself.
It's a real shame.
Sarah could be a great dancer.
Hopefully, her mother will realize
that she needs to let the child become independent
and let her grow as a dancer.
Because right now, I'm finished with Sarah.
I'm sorry, honey.
