ABBY: Chloe, you will be performing
a duet alongside Maddie again.
[moms clapping]
CHRISTI: Chloe and Maddie have done duets for years together.
But at this point, I really don't
know if Chloe trusts Maddie after the surprise duet
last week that she had with Kalani.
You lied.
We didn't know Kalani was there. You did.
It just so happened that Maddie's
hair magically got in a bun. - We all knew.
CHRISTI: Her costume magically appeared.
MELISSA: What do you mean? Her cos--
Jill, did you really know Maddie was going out on stage?
'Cause she keeps throwing you two under the bus.
I'm not throwing them under the bus.
They're my friends and I talk to them.
You're a [bleep] liar.
HOLLY: I don't really know what's
to achieve by fighting with Melissa about this right now.
I think Melissa has proven herself time and time
again that she's going to be your friend up
to a certain point.
But if Abby tells her to do something,
your friendship does not mean as much to her
as her relationship with Abby.
ABBY: Scoop through.
Scoop through.
[music playing]
Maddie and Chloe are doing a lyrical duet,
and it's entitled "Confessions."
And it's about one girl telling the other girl,
I didn't call you enough.
I didn't make time in my schedule for you.
And that's really what's going on.
Maddie and Chloe used to be really good friends.
Well, maybe they're not friends anymore.
Who knows? OK.
So do you hear the lyrics?
"I should have told you things."
It's like instead of keeping the secrets.
It's Chloe confessing.
Get it, Chloe? CHRISTI: Right.
Because Chloe is the one who needs to confess.
Meanwhile, it's Maddie the one who lied to Chloe.
But Abby's painting Chloe as the bad person.
OK.
You seem very content to be isolated from the group
or separating yourself from the group,
because I think the kids see that.
And I think by you separating yourself,
I think they begin to think that they
should separate themselves.
That's really disastrous for them as a team.
CHRISTI: Because I don't want to hang
out with somebody who blatantly lies and hurts my daughter.
I don't hurt kids on purpose, so I--
Well, you did.
MELISSA: Think about-- OK.
As soon as you did it, you knew
that that was going to hurt Chloe and Paige,
and you still did it.
I'm not a liar.
You're the biggest liar I've ever met my whole entire life.
ABBY: Today we are in Woodbridge,
Virginia for the FIERCE National Dance Competition.
And this is a new competition for us,
so I want to make a good impression.
CHRISTI: Is there just one solo and two duets,
or are there any extra dances today that we don't know
about yet?
Like-- like last week.
MELISSA: I think Christi is just angry and upset because Kelly's
not here.
But we're all pretty mad at what happened last week.
I mean, I think that it was ridiculous.
Should have never happen in front of the children.
Abby and Kelly are both at fault.
[audience applauding]
ANNOUNCER: Next up is number 23, "Confession."
If this duet stands a chance of winning,
Chloe's gonna have to trust Maddie,
and I think that's going to be a hard thing for her to do.
[MUSIC - RACHAEL SAGE, "CONFESSION"]
I am, but we were, and I'm tired of wanting.
It hurts more than I'm capable of flaunting.
My only friend.
Inspiration, confession.
[audience applauding]
MELISSA: You know, with all the arguing Christi
and I have done in the past week,
when we see our girls dance together,
we know they belong together.
It's a good feeling when you see them on stage.
[laughing softly]
Getting into our Advanced Junior.
The tension build to third place.
That goes to number 15, "Where the Light Get In."
Give it up. [audience applauding]
MELISSA: That's a duo.
Like, I'm confused.
I don't get it.
ABBY: Now, this is our first time at FIERCE National Dance
Competition, and they do things a little bit differently here.
They throw everything in the same age division together.
Solos, duets, trios, groups.
And I don't care, as long as the overall high score winning
number came from the ALDC.
ANNOUNCER: In second place, we had a tie for second place.
That goes to number 23, "Confession"
and number 47, "The Moment."
[audience applauding]
Congratulations.
Our first place finisher in Advanced Junior today--
number 67, "Yum Yum."
Give it up. [audience applauding]
Abby Lee's Dance Company, Junior finishers today.
Yeah.
Congratulations, ladies. ABBY: Yay.
[clapping]
CHRISTI: Good job, girls.
ABBY: You beat the other number. Hug.
Did you understand those scores?
Kind of towards the end.
ABBY: The highest scoring number of the entire day
was from the Abby Lee Dance Company.
[all clapping]
