ABBY LEE MILLER: The girls might think
they're safe after winning these last few weeks,
but I've got a surprise for them,
and it's going to make them remember they're all
on the chopping block.
I want to introduce Kim and the new Chloe.
Come stand right next to her.
They were at the first open call audition in Orlando.
Chloe is going to join us this week.
We will be traveling to Voorhees, New Jersey
to attend the competition On Stage America, all right?
[applause]
Yes.
This is new Chloe's first group routine.
I'm putting her together with a bunch of girls who've
been dancing together since they've been in diapers.
This could be a major struggle for her.
I would like to start with new Chloe because we don't know her
or how fast she picks up and I want to see.
But I don't want old Chloe's mother freaking out and saying,
oh well, we started with her first.
Contract.
Bend your elbows.
First one is up and then run.
Chloe's solo this week is entitled "Seeing Red."
Chloe, you're jealous.
You're envious.
Because the new Chloe, she might just be her replacement.
Chain out of it towards Gianna.
Well, I knew as soon as she was bringing someone new in
that Chloe would have a solo against the new person
because that's her game.
Well, and it's Chloe versus Chloe.
It's always my daughter, always.
Because she knew that she was going
to use your daughter today to make my daughter feel bad.
When new people come on, we want
to teach the solo from the kids who've been here all along.
I agree with that.
Because you know who's at the top this week.
Chloe's got a solo and she took away time from our duet.
I think these moms are ruthless.
They say they're part of a team and they're team players,
but I really believe that they're there for their child
only.
This is going to be your first solo under the Abby Lee Dance
Company.
What's the best thing you do?
What are you known for?
You're a turner.
Chloe's a turner, too.
And turn, turn.
Turn, turn.
The new Chloe solo is called "The First Day."
This new Chloe has a lot of talent,
and this might just be the first day of a very successful
career.
As you start to chain , out your arms just break pretty, down,
and pli .
Bend this knee.
Break this knee.
Now how old is Chloe?
Chloe turned 12 in July.
This is a better opportunity, this dance company,
than the one that you were in in Vegas.
It could be.
She's already the star of that one.
Maybe she wants to be the star of another one.
[laughter]
Good luck on that.
Good luck on that one.
1 and 2 and 3 and 4, 5 and 6.
I need to get a closer look.
You don't want to be here turned out.
You want to be here turned out.
Right.
I don't know that I want her to do any work on my face.
I don't know that I like the looks of hers.
[laughter]
That's her livelihood.
Stop.
Hey, Chloe.
How did it go? - Good.
You really liked it?
Mm-hmm.
You did well.
How did it go, girls?
- Good. - You guys like the new Chloe?
Mm-hmm.
It's the original Chloe.
Oh.
You're not the old Chloe.
You're the original.
The OC.
Just because you're competing against the old Chloe
doesn't mean that the new Chloe can't come in here
and take over.
You're going to work hard to move up that pyramid, right?
- Mm-hmm. - You're not going to move down.
Mm-mm.
She's a turner.
She's my height.
She's my age.
Her mom's your height, has blonde hair.
I don't think you need to focus on this other person.
I think you need to focus on yourself.
You're the Chloe Bird, and there's only one of you.
You're very unique.
I think I got the better technique.
Yeah, you do.
That's why you're here.
Nobody is going to be you.
[music - carlie de boer, "red"]
(SINGING) Ouch.
Nothing hurts more than nothing.
I'm numb.
It all feels the same now that it's different.
Just once is all it takes to take away the life of something
you hate.
Red on my hands.
Red in your fate.
Red is the color you will taste.
Ouch.
Nothing hurts more than nothing.
[applause]
PARENT: Yes, Chloe.
[MUSIC - RACHAEL SAGE, "PERFORMANCE ART"]
(SINGING) Today is the first day of the rest of my time.
I knew when you turned away I would never
take another deep breath, but I know it'll be OK because I'm
just built that way.
I know it'll be OK because I'm just built that way.
I don't need to tell you how to complicate this.
You already know just how to break my heart.
Every time I open my eyes you take this to another level
of performance art.
Performance art.
[applause]
Whoo.
Here we go again, deja vu.
The new Chloe's headpiece falls off.
Didn't we learn anything from the old Chloe?
I can't believe it.
That makes me look unprofessional
and that mom a failure.
That ruined her whole routine.
And she was gorgeous.
Oh my god.
It's a scandal on the dance floor.
The new Chloe's headpiece just fell out.
Did she just open the door for the old Chloe?
I thought the solo was great.
I think Chloe did a great job until that ending
with that hairpiece falling out.
And I don't know if I was set up or if I just
didn't get it put in right.
Who would have you set you up?
How could that be set up?
I don't know if Melissa's the best one to be helping you.
I don't just think of her as the arts and crafts kind of girl.
Well, it came flying out of her hair.
Well, because she didn't pin it.
You don't think that was a conspiracy theory, really,
right?
Well, I'm not sure.
I don't know.
We might be dance moms, but we're not those kind of moms.
No, we would never do that.
We don't sabotage.
After things have gone on this week, I'm just not so sure.
Hi, Abby.
Your kid had one chance, one opportunity
to get on this team.
Because the kid that I saw on stage in Orlando perform
was amazing.
She would have beat Maddie, the crap out of her.
And that kid that I just saw on stage was a hot mess.
And the headpiece falling out at the end
was just like the icing on the cake.
And that one right there, she's teaching that kid that when you
get on stage and perform, you better
look like you're from the Abby Lee Dance Company.
Chloe is used to a lot of pressure.
But today she was a little rough around the edges,
and everybody has a day they're a little rough.
It's just a learning curve.
ABBY LEE MILLER: I am very disappointed.
