Do you know this, Brooke? Shoulders down.
Brooke's dance this week is called "Metamorphosis,"
and I think it's a perfect choice for Brooke.
It's almost like she's coming from a baby into a young woman.
[Gianna] Where are your legs on that?
I think they're...
Let's just walk through it once from the top, okay?
My shoulder hurts.
[Gianna] Again?
This has happened before, yeah? You just have to get through it.
If it pops out, we just need to get it back in there.
Just, like, pop it back in.
Lately, my shoulder has been hurting pretty bad
when I do my handstand twist.
I don't think I'm gonna be able to dance with my shoulder pain,
just because I'm always putting pressure on my hands.
Remember, pull harder.
I know it hurts.
Not performing is not an option for me.
Brooke is now trying to get ready for her solo.
And lately, she has been off her game
because her shoulder was bothering her.
She's been wobbling on tricks and falling out of things,
and it's just not like Brooke.
If you want to get noticed for Cirque stuff,
Vegas will definitely be the place to be noticed.
Just go out,
show them what you can do.
Brooke's dance this week is an acrobatic routine,
and this is big for us
because we're in Vegas,
and that's the city of Cirque du Soleil.
This is the city Brooke needs to show them what she can do.
Hopefully she pulls it off.
Okay. Do good.
Keep your balance. Don't be nervous.
Don't watch the people in front of you. Good luck.
[Brooke]
I have a hard time putting pressure on my shoulder.
It's just really sore.
I was standing behind the wings,
and I decided to do a handstand.
And my shoulder popped out of place.
Oh, Brooke.
I mean, is it back in?
Oh, my God, you're like an accident waiting to happen.
I was just worried I wasn't gonna be able to do my solo.
[emcee] Next, we have Brooke
performing in "Metamorphosis."
[applause]
[gentle music playing]
[Brooke]
and my shoulder popped out again.
I just kept dancing.
[cheers and applause]
I could tell by the look on her face
that she was in pain.
Hey.
I know, I know.
Immediately following her routine,
she came right around and found me.
I don't really think it's out.
I think if it was out, you would be screaming in pain.
I was very proud of Brooke.
She's been trained for years to get out there
and do what you know best.
And that's what she did.
[emcee] In third place,
routine number 153,
that's "Metamorphosis."
[cheering and applauding]
[Gianna] Snap, ball, cross.
[gasps] Holy crap.
-Oh, my God. -What did she do?
Okay, we need a medic.
What's wrong?
Oh, no.
I'm gonna go check on Hannah.
-[woman] We need a doctor? -[Ann] Yes!
[woman] Okay.
[Ann] This is my child, not a TV show.
I'm losing it. I'm so upset for her,
because in my mind I'm thinking,
Abby's gonna take her out of the dance.
And everybody's feeling this pressure
that we have to do everything right.
And if we don't,
then we could be sent home.
And Hannah would be devastated.
She's on the bottom of the pyramid,
so if she's not in the dance and she doesn't have a solo,
what does that mean?
[woman] This is the doctor.
Hi. My daughter--
-Hey, guys, shh. -The doctor's on the phone.
I guess she stubbed her toe and her toenail's coming off.
I don't know what I'm supposed to do.
Right. Do I need to take her to have somebody check it out?
Awesome. Thanks so much.
Thank you.
[Ann] Good. Now we just got to do a little more.
The worst part's over.
I called and put a doctor on speakerphone.
It's like
-Right. -Take the straw...
-[laughs] -...slit the neck.
Hey, come here. I love you. I believe in you.
[woman] Let Brady give you a piggyback for a little bit.
-But walk in the door, okay? -[woman] Poor kid.
Aw.
Okay, you can talk about that. Yeah.
[Hannah]
but it doesn't hurt to the extent
that I can't dance anymore.
[Abby] I think Hannah wants to dance.
She wants to be part of the group.
-Right? -Right.
But I can't have a weak warrior.
Right.
[Abby] The dance is about going into battle.
You know what they do when a horse breaks its leg?
-Yeah, they kill it. -They take it out and kill it.
You didn't know that.
That's what happens.
She's gonna do what she needs to do for you.
I believe in her.
Yay. Okay, if you say you can dance,
then I need 110% out of Hannah.
I want to see this toe.
[Ann] Give me your foot.
It's fine. I think you got this.
Tape it up, just keep it clean. Because you're the weak link.
I'm just giving you the tough love, kid.
All right, go. And she needs more...
-Something with her cheeks. -Okay.
[Joanne] Poor Hannah.
Hannah's not as strong,
and I think Ann is struggling with that,
because she wants it for Hannah so bad.
And she says Hannah wants it, but I don't know.
Does she? You know, like, she's so quiet.
I wouldn't know.
[applause]
[brooding dance music playing]
[Abby] Whoo!
[dance synthesizer music playing]
[woman] Hannah Banana.
[dancers shout]
-[woman] Yes! -[cheers and applause]
[woman] Hannah did something at the wrong time.
She's gonna be so mad at herself.
[emcee] And your highest-scoring 9 to 11 group here today was...
"Haka," from Abby Lee Dance Company.
[cheering and applause]
Whoo-hoo! We won! I'm so excited!
I'm thrilled. How are you?
Yeah.
-Yeah! -Whoo!
Yay!
Congratulations.
Now that was a clean sweep.
Did Maesi recover after the rehearsal fiasco?
She did. I think she just--
She didn't feel good. She started getting chills,
that's why I worry about her getting sick.
But she had Abby in her head.
Maesi's not feeling the greatest this morning.
I don't know if she's sick. I think she's just exhausted.
I hope she can pull through this,
because Maesi wants more than anything
to dance the solo this weekend.
You're okay. You have to throw up, throw up.
Okay?
She's gonna throw up, I think.
If you throw up, we clean it up. It's that simple.
[retching]
I mean, if she's gonna throw up, she needs to go home.
What about everybody else?
I'm sorry, but that's contagious.
-[woman 1] Oh, it is contagious. -[woman 2] Ah.
-Good morning. -Maesi's throwing up.
She's not here?
[woman 3] 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 Lily throwing up.
I don't want to be throwing up. That does not need to go around.
That spreads fast, because we have close quarters.
We're gonna be on a bus for several hours.
[Stacey] She's gonna practice her dance
and vomit in a giant garbage can?
I'm worried about Lily's solo.
And I don't want Lily 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.
Oh, my God. That gives me anxiety.
Stacey, you wanted to say something.
I mean, she's in there with a garbage can.
She ran out to the bathroom to throw up.
Like, we're going on a bus in an enclosed space,
and she's stick with a stomach virus.
-Do you think it's nerves? -No. I think she--
I'm not a doctor.
[Stacey] She's saying take care of your daughter.
[Jaime] I do take care of my daughter.
-Worry about your own daughter. -I am!
Your daughter is sick and she's here with them!
You should not be here.
You can't go to school when you're sick.
You're gonna have to make a choice:
either Jaime or Stacey's on the bus.
I don't think they're getting on the bus together.
[upbeat music playing]
[Jaime] How are you feeling this morning?
-Better. -You feeling better?
Yesterday was rough.
I still think it's ridiculous that Stacey made such a stink.
Everybody gets sick.
We drove ourselves to San Diego,
because Stacey threw such a fit.
I don't know what her problem is.
Stacey is a total germaphobe, and freaking out over nothing.
I think what she's scared of
is Lily's coming off a win, which makes her nervous
because it's hard to stay on top.
We have no problems. She's gonna try and get in our head
and just not want us with her. That's too bad.
You go out, you kill your solo today.
You know how to do this. You've got this.
[Abby]
and win with the hip-hop solo,
that's only gonna bring more business to my studio.
That's great, because in L.A. it's all about hip-hop.
[emcee] Up next is entry number 6.
We have Maesi performing "I'm Alive."
[cheers and applause]

-[girl] Maesi, it was so good. -Thank you.
You did everything Abby told you.
I was worried about you, but you pulled that off.
In second place...
is entry number 6.
-"I'm Alive." -[audience cheers]
[Jaime]
No one except for me thought that was possible.
And hopefully, this will make Abby
see Maesi in a new, bright, shining light.
