Maesi, what I am trying to do for you
is a solo that you do well.
Go.
This is it.
[music playing]
Maesi's routine is a hip hop number called "I'm Alive".
And everybody's probably wondering
why I'm giving Maesi a solo.
Well, one of the teachers posted a video of Maesi in class,
and it hit a million views in a matter of days.
That looks great for my studio.
So I'm going to take that combo, I'm
going to throw a couple of tricks in it,
and it's going to be her routine.
I think Maesi does have a lot of potential
to be a professional, working dancer in LA,
but I think the kid's a nervous wreck.
[music playing]
Try to pick it up.
And Maesi forgets her dance.
You've been in that room the entire day after you arrived.
[music playing]
I mean, I even sent you the music earlier so that you
would have time to choreograph.
And it looks like you were prepared.
I'm not making excuses, but she hasn't eaten at all today.
It's just-- probably over-rehearsed.
Wait, she's over-rehearsed and she can't remember it?
You're done.
Go.
Until you get in front of Abby?
I know.
This is a lot of pressure to come in.
You're not a mini, and you're not a junior,
and you may not fit in size-wise with all these girls.
Right?
But Abby's got you here for a reason.
OK?
I love you.
I love you, too.
Did Maesi recover after the rehearsal fiasco?
She did.
I think she just-- she didn't feel good.
She started getting the chills.
And that's I worry about her getting sick,
but she just had Abby in her head.
Maesi's not feeling the greatest this morning.
I don't know if she's sick, I think she
seriously is just exhausted.
I hope she can pull through this,
because Maesi wants, more than anything,
to dance the solo this weekend.
You're OK.
If you have to throw up, you throw up.
OK?
She's going to throw up, I think.
But if you throw up, we clean it up.
It's that simple.
[retching]
I mean, if she's going to throw up, she needs to go home.
Like, what about everybody else?
No, you can't--
- I'm sorry-- - --throw up in a dance room.
--but that's contagious.
Oh, it is contagious.
Good morning.
Maesi is throwing up.
Maesi's sick.
She's not here?
She's in the bathroom.
I think she's, like, throwing up.
If God gave me that mother, I'd throw up every day.
I literally have a phobia of throwing up.
I do not want Lilly throwing up, I don't want to be throwing up.
That does not need to go around.
And that's gonna spread fast.
Because we have close quarters, we're gonna
be on a bus for several hours.
She's just going to practice her dance and vomit
in a giant garbage can?
I'm worried about Lilly's solo.
And I don't want Lilly getting sick before she goes on stage.
I think that Jaime should be responsible
and keep her daughter away from all the rest
of the girls on the team.
How are you feeling this morning?
Better.
You're feeling better?
Yes.
Up next is entry number six.
We have Maesi performing "I'm Alive".
[applause]
[MUSIC - TAKORAH RAY - "I'M ALIVE"]
SINGER: I've seen the truth beneath the lies.
They try to bury, but they just can't hide.
Went through the darkness and found the light.
The world was changing right before my eyes.
I've faced the danger of losing life.
Break down the door, because I must survive.
Must survive.
I'm alive.
[applause]
Maesi, it was so good.
Thank you.
You did everything Abby told you to.
All right, we're going to do our top scoring
solos of the entire day.
In second place is entry number six, "I'm Alive".
[applause]
She beat Brynn.
No one, except for me, thought that was possible.
And hopefully, this will make Abby see Maesi
in a new, bright shining light.
