Where is she?
I wonder where Abby is.
CHRISTI: She ditched us in Jersey.
Maybe she didn't come home.
Abby is late to pyramid because she
doesn't want to face the moms.
Last time she saw us, she ditched us and our kids.
And we're gonna hold her accountable for that.
Who thinks Miss Abby is going to apologize
for leaving us stranded?
Oh, god, no.
She never apologizes.
Honestly, I think there's only one reason why Abby
left the competition in Jersey.
And that's because Maddie forgot her dance,
and it's totally unreasonable.
[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]
I want to go again.
Can I please go again?
Does anybody feel a black cloud approaching?
MELISSA: Yeah.
What's the weather forecast?
[MUSIC PLAYING]
So I guess it's welcome back.
New York City didn't turn out exactly the way I had hoped.
ANNOUNCER: In 10th place, "Hurt Them First,"
Abby Lee Dance Company.
[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]
Hey, there.
Chloe, congratulations.
You were the winner.
Our top Junior Soloist, 891, "Red."
[APPLAUSE]
Chloe!
You didn't only win for yourself.
You won for the Abby Lee Dance Company.
You won for me, for my name and my reputation,
so that was good.
Thank you.
Holly, you were quite upset with me.
And I didn't see any tears from you, Abby,
when my kid ran off the stage.
It's a horrific--
I don't care.
I know you don't care.
That's my point.
I think you assumed that I was upset because Maddie
ran off the stage.
And you're absolutely right, and that's why I left.
After Maddie forgetting her dance, I was at my wit's end.
As their coach, as their teacher,
they all deserve a hug.
Nia had you.
She went to you when she forgot her dance.
Why don't you be the adult and the leader
and console them first?
KELLY: You yelled at Paige and told her she was stupid.
And when Maddie does it, oh, you forgive her and it's OK.
It's not her fault.
I think the case in point is we know that you don't care--
Some kids are just special!
I did not abandon the team.
Nobody pays me to go to a competition.
I am going there to be the dance teacher, not to sit in a room
and babysit their children.
Enough.
My time is very valuable.
I did not call you in here to discuss this.
We're talking about this week.
You are going to Nexstar Competition in LA.
And those little kids in LA are good, and you all know that.
And my trio is gonna be Chloe, Brooke, Paige.
And I need you to be on fire on that stage.
That was pretty depressing down there.
I was pretty irritated.
She's a-- she's a despicable person.
We know exactly what happened, and she just changed the truth.
Arms, Chloe.
You know, I'm a little nervous about Chloe
leading this team to victory.
Nexstar is one tough competition.
I just wish Maddie was ready to go
and had her head back in the game.
Every time something goes wrong, what, is
she going to get up and leave?
I don't think she would, but--
I think that we need to make it known to her
that, you know what?
If you want to leave again-- CHRISTI: Go ahead.
--go ahead and leave. We don't need you.
How do you feel about it, Melissa?
Well, she lied to me.
So I was-- I mean, I'm just upset because of that.
She told me she was going home to her mom.
So I called her a car.
She told me the reason she left the team in New Jersey
was because her mom is really ill.
So I believed that she was going home to see her mom.
So now the truth is out.
Melissa knew that Abby was gonna leave the competition.
She even helped her.
She called the cab.
But did you say anything to her like, Abby
why did you do that to me?
You made me look like an idiot.
Nope.
Well, all I could think of is Abby supposed
to be your friend, Melissa.
That was not a very friendly thing to do.
A friend doesn't do that to a friend.
You should go in and say something because you're
the one she lied to.
It should be you 'cause you're the one who she lied to.
So is should be you--
KELLY: And you're the one that called
the cab for her to leave.
--having the confrontation with her, not us.
I feel that Christi and Kelly can care less
if I was mistreated by Abby.
They just want to cause trouble and drama.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
No problem.
Good luck with all of that.
WOMAN (ON PHONE): Oh, it'll be fine.
We'll see you.
All right, what can I help you out with?
I'm getting so much slack from everybody that, you know,
I always kiss your butt and everything, and--
They need to get over it.
They've been jealous since Maddie from day one,
and they still are.
KELLY: I think we just want to know that our kids
have you to back them up.
Right.
We travel as a team, we go as a team, we leave as a team.
Well, no.
I'm not gonna sit here and promise that forever.
No.
I think they're all good to go on their own.
I think you're all crazy.
You don't pay for my trip.
You don't pay my hotel bill.
You don't pay my airfare.
Those are just a bunch of excuses
you made to cover your [BLEEP].
You can't be here.
Dial 911. CHRISTI: Yeah.
ABBY LEE: Get her out.
OK.
Our conversation yesterday at the front desk kind of
threw me for a loop, Melissa.
I got to just put it out there.
I thought we were going downstairs--
if memory serves me correctly-- that we
were gonna have your back, and you
were gonna introduce the topic.
I said to Abby that everybody's been on my case
all the time.
It's all about Maddie, Maddie, Maddie, Maddie.
The real reason she brought me into the bathroom--
she told me, I need to go home to my mother.
And I believed her.
Fine, and she--
But you sat up here and said that you
were mad that she lied to you.
So we said, go tell her that you're upset.
We wanted you to say to her, why did you lie.
Why did you lie to me?
CHRISTI: You have to step up to the plate.
I know.
And that was a perfect opportunity for you to do it.
And you threw us under the bus.
It's so hard for me.
It's hard for all of us.
Melissa always says that we're so mean to her,
that we never take her side.
But she lied to us again.
So how can I trust somebody who constantly lies?
I'm a nervous wreck when it comes to confrontation.
But you sat up here and said--
but you're still not sticking up for yourself, and--
I know, I never do.
I'm a doormat.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Brooke, Chloe and Paige are doing a trio,
and it's called "Girls in the House."
I definitely think this is gonna be a challenging
trio because we have three girls that
dance three different styles.
OK, step out on your left foot and, like, take your arms
and brush them back and stick your rear end out like this.
Boom.
Bah, ball, change.
5, 6, ready?
Right here.
5-- Maddie, can you demonstrate for me?
CHRISTI: I'm a little confused why the swing, Maddie, is now
demonstrating how the trio's properly
done to the girls in the trio.
Is that just another way for Abby to rub it in their face
that she feels that Maddie is the best dancer in the group?
Maddie, count Chloe's section and make sure you
give me the right counts.
Chloe has to realize this is how hard I push Maddie.
This is how I train girls to get to the top of that pyramid.
Squat and touch the floor.
Your feet should be together.
Paige, you're too far away from the other two!
Move over, Paige!
I don't understand our choreography lately.
It's just seems so stupid.
It's not impressive.
ABBY LEE: Walk!
KELLY: I mean, we do a lot of posing,
a lot of walking around, and--
you know, like, where's the technique?
Get in that relevé!
CHRISTI: I hate that.
I do too.
They're gonna break their knees.
PAIGE: I'm a little bit nervous for the trio
because this is my first time doing it with Brooke.
And if I make a mistake, Abby will yell at me.
ANNOUNCER: All right.
Ladies and gentlemen, put your hands together
for "Girls in the House."
[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]
[MUSIC PLAYING]
[VOCALIZING]
(SINGING) Yeah.
Been watching the clock tick away from 1:00 until 2:00
and now 3:00.
I just want to get out right now.
So get your glamour on, and let's
go do it before I lose my mind.
Let's rock the good times and live the high life.
Girls in the house.
Come with the glory.
Let's tell a story.
Girls in the house.
'Cause tonight is the night.
It's the reason Let's go hit the lights.
And like a tiger, we'll bring the fire.
We'll be the girls in the house, tonight.
[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]
PAIGE: I think the trio went really
well, except I forgot a kick.
And I'm gonna get in a lot of trouble.
Paige, do you know you forgot a step?
You did?
What happened?
Well, don't laugh about it.
It's not funny.
You can't go out there not do the choreography
you were given.
I don't think we're not gonna win because she missed a kick.
I think we're going to lose because the choreography
wasn't like the ones, like, before us,
just from what I saw.
I saw two dances, and they were amazing.
You saw a duet?
Well, I didn't see what you saw.
So I don't know.
All right.
Well, that's it.
Mother knows best.
ANNOUNCER: Final high scores--
top five 9 to 11 Duet/Trios.
Fourth place, entry number 161, "Love, Love, Love."
Third place is gonna go to entry number 162,
"Girls in the House."
[APPLAUSE]
CHRISTI: Considering all the things
that the trio had working against them, you know,
bad costumes, bad choreography, bad music--
I thought that Chloe, Brooke, and Paige really
did well with what they had to work with.
Girls, come on.
I want to talk to you.
Moms, I came, I flew 3,000 miles,
did everything I was supposed to do for that?
Really?
You started out great.
Your individual parts were wonderful.
As soon as you had to dance together as a group,
shwoop, to hell in a hand basket.
KELLY: OK, but why can't we--
Chloe-- - Look at your daughter!
She's 14 years old.
She couldn't do the turns in second!
Her knees bent! She's late!
OK. then work on them with her.
ABBY LEE: Come to class!
You only give them practice with their turns.
Give the other two who are in the group.
She's in the same studio with the same teachers!
Work on it with them. You sit there.
Work on it with them. ABBY LEE: OK, honey.
Right now, let's go. 32 fouettés.
- Go ahead. - Go.
Go.
Obviously, she can't do 32 fouettés.
She can't do one! HOLLY: Girls, out.
Work on it with them.
You're her teacher.
Kelly, don't be so stupid all the time.
KELLY: I'm not stupid, Abby.
Yes, you are!
KELLY: Don't you be a bad teacher.
I put the dances is in it.
CHRISTI: I find it so insulting that Abby came into the room
and told our kids that they weren't committed.
Those kids bust their butts for her.
I'm not happy with what I saw.
KELLY: I definitely think that Abby's
choreography is getting stale.
I think she's been doing this for too long.
Maybe I need to go somewhere else, me and Christi.
Christi and I, you idiot!
Christi and I!
CHRISTI: [BLEEP] my god.
You've lost it, Abby.
You've been doing it too long.
You're stale.
My stale is better than your best day will ever be.
[LAUGHS]
Look in the mirror, girlfriend.
Look in the mirror. - Please.
Don't eat me, Abby.
Don't eat me.
CHRISTI: You know what?
KELLY: [LAUGHS]
