Pull it down.
Maybe. Maybe.
And then bring it across.
Great.
Ashlee, you can help me out.
Come on. - Oh.
Your BFF is asking you for help.
She's running.
She's gonna be put to work at the front desk, I think.
Good. Let her.
I'd like to see her fail.
Because she will.
No mothers are allowed in the office, but go ahead in.
Ashlee is a total kiss up, but so is Melissa.
I mean, where do you think Ashlee got this idea from?
OK, so if I do a good job, you don't have to pay me-- but can
Brynn do a solo next week?
Maybe.
She's doing it because she wants
to follow in your footsteps, and she wants Brynn to follow
in Maddie's footsteps.
Abby is not going to promote her kid over one of these kids.
See, I disagree.
I think by giving her a duet with Maddie,
it's promoting that kid.
Whoever has a duet with Maddie usually wins.
That should be Kendall in there, not Brynn.
Are you done?
You're done working for Abby?
I mean--
I heard you guys really missed me,
and you wanted me to come sit out here with you.
We never said we missed you.
You heard wrong.
We did talk about how Brynn really lucks out,
and even though she's not a member of the team,
she gets a prominent role-- a featured role, to me,
being in a duet with Maddie.
Nia has never had a duet with her.
No.
Your child is getting everything handed to her.
She hasn't earned any of it.
Haven't earned any of it?
She has come and made a good showing for everything
that she has been asked to do.
I think it's ridiculous that Brynn
has more opportunities than my child, who
is a full fledged team member.
She's had more opportunities than Nia has ever had.
That duet better be so amazing, and had better win first place.
Oh, yeah.
Or it's going to be Brynn's fault.
Yeah.
She's out doing Abby's hair, and the kid
gets all the good choreography, and gets
everything handed to her.
And I'm sure she'll get a solo next week.
Not if Maddie makes her look bad.
Brynn's on probation, so I think this week,
Ashlee thinks this is her way of getting her kid on the team.
You didn't touch Abby's face, did you?
Did you do her hair?
I did do her hair.
It looks a lot better.
But she has high hopes for our duet.
She was like, I wish that kids from our studio
were going to come watch these two
dance together, because it's going to be so beautiful.
Yeah. And it's a really level play--
You know, the problem with that is she enjoys saying that.
That's so rude, because the day will come where your child
isn't sitting on top, and you won't want to do her hair,
and you'll be just like the rest of us.
Your day will come.
It'll be really fun when it goes.
Well, we'll see.
Melissa's day still hasn't really even come.
Oh--
You're not Melissa.
You never will be.
I don't want to be Melissa.
Well then, why would you compare yourself to Melissa?
I'm Abby's friend.
Abby said if you want to be--
We heard you say--
You're just a surrogate fill-in.
When my kid stops being discounted by everybody else
here, then maybe I'll be a little bit less arrogant.
We don't discount her.
I called her great--
Talk to the queen.
- Would you listen for a second? - No!
I'm tired of listening to you. Stop it!
It's not about your child.
[bleep] you, Jill!
I'm not talking about that.
Would you listen?
You just said--
Let me finish my damn sentence!
OK, but how does this affect you and Brynn?
It doesn't Jill! OK?
OK, then why did you have to bring your child into it?
It doesn't affect me! You're a bitch!
You're a [bleep] bitch!
Just shut up!
Oh, she's so classy, lady.
Nice.
I clearly do not have any allies on this team.
I mean, even Holly, she's kind of nice to me sometimes,
but when it comes down to it, she's not really happy
that Brynn is getting all these things
that Nia has never gotten.
Abby's the only one, I feel like at this point, that's even
somewhat of an ally of mine.
You're crying? What's wrong?
Why are you crying?
I'm so tired of being screamed at.
Save those tears for your pillow.
Just constant picking, and I'm not allowed to say anything.
Well, I don't blame you. Don't cry.
You're a pretty girl.
You don't need to be crying.
- OK. - All right?
Thanks.
