I'm here in the studio today because it's
Mack Z's video auditions.
We're looking for girls to dance back up for Mackenzie,
and I want to make sure the right kids are picked.
My mom understands that the show must go on.
She wants this video to happen.
And I think that Mackenzie could be a star.
You were all invited here to be in a video for Mack Z.
Everybody spread apart.
[upbeat music]
Real good.
Number 4, I'm gonna let you go.
Bye.
All right. See you later.
You have to go.
I think she just has a great look.
OK.
So number 6, you and your mom can leave.
Thank you very much.
19, I am going to use you to do some of the stuff
on the van with the younger people.
Clearly Abby doesn't want anyone cuter than Mackenzie
in the music video, because why else would you cut Chloe?
You said 1 is a yes.
3 is a yes.
22 is a yes.
What are you going to do about your sister?
I guess she's a yes.
Do you really want her in the video?
I mean, I could use her as a help, where she can assist.
That's better.
Number 30, we feel that you may be better served
as an assistant during the shoot,
rather than actually on camera.
Maybe she should be on camera.
Yeah.
You asked me if you could help me pick the people.
And I said, yes.
You can pick the people.
But now, with that comes responsibility.
Sometimes people change their mind, though.

5, 6, 7, 8.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.
1, 2--
We are shooting Mackenzie's music video at Melissa's house.
Now I auditioned other kids in the ALDC
to dance backup for Mackenzie's video.
Everybody, congratulations.
You will be dancing in the video.
So both sets of moms are here at the house,
and that spells trouble.
- Hey. - Hi.
- It's me. - Hey, guys.
Hi.
How are you?
Where have you guys been?
Were you in the other room, or were you upstairs?
Well, these moms--
they're members of the Abby Lee Dance Company.
I don't like Christy with a Y. She's so fricking annoying.
She wants to be a part of this team.
Where do you guys think our girls stand,
compared to Abby's new elite team that she's making--
- Well, I think-- - Yeah.
I would definitely love to hear your input on that.
Well, I don't think their kids could even hold a candle
to them, because they're amazing.
She's looking for a team that will direct--
that we'll be able to beat our kid.
So what happens when our kid has already beat your kids?
Our kids are just as good as your children.
Let's not start with that.
So no--
But Sarah beat Mackenzie at the Junior level.
And last year--
Sarah beat Mackenzie at the Junior level.
Well, last--
I don't think--
you can't single out one kid.
She won last-- I don't know, that's--
Well, maybe she--
Absolutely--
She didn't actually--
I am appalled.
Why are these mothers behaving like a bunch of teenagers?
The video has gone too smoothly to let a bunch of ignorant moms
mess it up.
And I have a question for you.
Yes?
Our kids do not get you.
Abby, we need you more.
I know.
My Sarah needs you more.
Oh, my god.
The little ones coming up, they
want to have me as their teacher.
They want to be corrected.
They're hungry for it.
So there's a lot of jealousy that goes on between them
and the moms on the Junior Elite team.
But Abby, Sarah has the ability to be your next Maddie.
Oh!
Did you really just say that?
I did just say that.
Please.
You need your eyes checked, then.
Yes, you do.
She does not know when to shut up.
My daughter's better than your daughter.
I don't care.
It makes me so crazy.
You know what?
Get your shoes on and leave my house.
Get out. Get your shoes on and leave.
You guys are delusional.
What?
Get your shoes on.
Honestly, I have never seen Melissa act like this before.
It's clear that these other moms are definitely
getting under Melissa's skin.
And our team is beginning to crack.
Sarah, leave, and you leave.
This is my daughter's music video.
Get your shoes on. - Melissa.
I'm calling cops.
I'm calling the cops on her.
Do you know me, Melissa?
I am not trying to cause--
Guess what?
This is my home, my house. - OK.
And I respect that. - 911.
911.
