COACH: Kendall, you're doing "Monsters and Demons."
Can I see it full, full, full out?
5, 6, 7, and, whip, whip, ha ha ha ha ha.
Yes, step, and turn.
JILL: Here it is, day three, and the girls
are just starting their solos.
Ayesha gave Kendall and Kalani solos.
COACH: And a down.
Yes.
JILL: I'm a little nervous, because I know we're going
to see Abby at the competition.
So she needs to be amazing.
But we just are running out of time fast.
COACH: (RHYTHMICALLY) Huh, uh.
What happened?
Are you OK?
You look like you're about to have a moment.
JILL: So what are you thinking?
What's going on?
KENDALL: I'm just a little--
Well, honey, you look like you have an attitude.
What-- what up?
I'm not.
When you ask me what's wrong, I don't want to tell you, OK?
I'm just-- I'm just tired of everyone asking me.
I don't want to share my emotions on here.
COACH: Kind of need to know what's going on
so we can move past it, because this number is
somewhat of an emotional piece.
And then you're not giving me that because you're afraid
to show me what you're feeling.
Well, tell me what you want to do.
I'm just not prepared to do it.
[music playing]
JILL: I'm sorry, but that's not the dancer--
that's not who she is.
I'm telling you right now.
KENDALL : I decided to pull my solo
because our group dance is way more important than my solo.
I want to look out in the group's best interest.
This is our first time dancing together as a team.
We're competing up against the minis.
We're doing a style that we've never done before.
And I don't want to just go out there and just wing it.
We need to beat Abby.
WOMAN: Oh, looks like there are tears.
JILL: I think you're up.
OK, have fun.
Hi.
What's happening?
She's not doing the solo.
I just feel that the group dance that you have given them,
I would rather her perfect that, and look amazing.
Because that's what she needs, is to dance in heels.
That's what the industry is.
KALANI: We just don't have enough time.
The group dance isn't finished.
And honestly, the group dance is what matters the most.
There's no way--
let's be honest-- that they are going to be able to bring it
out in this group dance if they're
also trying to focus on solos.
It's not going to happen.
COACH: We literally have no solos.
[music playing]
JILL: You know, it's a shame that we had to pull the solos.
COACH: Try it again from the top.
JILL: But competition is in two days,
and we need this group dance to be outrageously amazing.
So we have to stay focused and really buckle down,
because we have no option.
We have to win.
We have to beat Abby.
COACH: I'm giving you the same notes right now, over,
and over, and over, and over.
And now you just keep messing up other little things
that you've been doing right.
And I don't understand what's going on.
What is wrong?
[sniffling]
Something is wrong.
What's going on?
We're performers.
This is what we do.
We don't have excuses.
There are no excuses in dance.
What's the matter?
What?
No, no, no.
What's wrong?
No, Chloe, I have to be here.
[crying]
OK.
[music playing]
COACH: Let's go, ladies.
We can't walk on stage, and look at the judges
and say, hey guys, I'm really stressed out but I'm
going to do my best.
No one cares.
This is your first time being seen as, you know, being older
and, like, growing up.
What do you want to come out of this?
What do you want to make Abby think about this?
What do you want her to think?
KENDALL : I want her to know that we're so much better
without her and that we can do a sassy dance like this and not
be embarrassed or made fun of.
Because that's, like-- Abby would never let
us do a dance like this.
CHLOE: I just want to leave her speechless.
COACH: Then do that.
Do you know what I mean?
Because right now, you guys are giving in to her
and literally making it OK for her to say,
oh, they tried something new, and they're losers without me.
We don't want that.
You don't want that.
So don't give that to her.
