Now more than ever, I need the kids to raise their game.
They need to be unbelievable.
These kids and their no-good mothers
have no idea what's in store for them this week.
All right, this week we're traveling
to Hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania, to attend Imagine
National Dance Challenge.
We have two duets.
The first duet is GiaNina and Pressley.
The name is "Munchausen by Proxy."
We have another duet, which is going to Brady and Liliana.
The title of your duet is "My Big Brother."
I will be awarding team jackets to two dancers.
One from each duet.
Are we ready?
And smile.
Yay, it's my big brother.
And ta-da.
Kind of.
It's boring as hell, get out.
She's telling them that they're boring.
Right now, like Brady is gun-shy.
He was sent home.
He's worried about every single day having to go back home.
I think all of the kids were gun-shy
in the beginning, and they're improving
as they're here longer.
But is everybody improving?
Or some people start out strong and it's been going downhill?
The moms are always critical about Brady,
and I think that a lot of the moms
also forget that for a long time,
they did rely on Brady, who was the backbone of this team,
and I still think he is.
And I don't think they can accept that.
ABBY: Pressley, are you going to let her walk all over you
to get the jacket?
I've made it difficult for her to step all over you.
Such a peaceful duet practice for Gia.
She gets to sit the whole time.
I don't think Gia sits there till the end.
She's sitting there right now.
Gia is sitting.
She's-- so Pressley can dance and have a better chance
of shining while Gia sits.
And if Pressley does--
Because if Gia was dancing, Pressley
wouldn't be able to shine.
That's what was said.
Get the [bleep] out of here, Joanne.
How's everybody feeling?
I feel fine.
So you're happy with the dance,
even though she only gets up for like, maybe 30 seconds.
Well, you know what I'm not happy about, Stacey?
I'll tell you what I'm not happy about.
What?
My kids being sat because Pressley felt invisible.
Look at yourself and look at your own daughter.
Stop looking at everybody else to put
the blame on everybody else.
Gia never did anything.
Abby sat her so your kid would not be invisible.
[bleep]
OK.
You came in this week and the first thing
you said was that Gia was sitting because Pressley
needs to shine.
Abby doesn't want her to feel invisible.
No.
Maybe she thinks Pressley's the better one to play the part.
You're mad because my kid's the lead of the duet.
Absolutely not.
Hello.
Absolutely not.
And you can wipe [bleep] off your lips.
(SINGING): Look what I have.
Jackets.
I told you in Pyramid that I'm looking for two
dancers that embody the ALDC.
When they represent the Abby Lee Dance Company,
they're not just representing themselves
and their current team, they're representing all
the kids that came before them.
And all the kids that may come after them.
So, let the chips fall where they may.
Shall we?
Let's do it.
ANNOUNCER (ON LOUDSPEAKER): This is entry number 54.
"My Big Brother."
[applause]
[music playing]
IYASHI WORLD: (SINGING) Oh, Oh.
He's alone now.
Snow falls softly on a storm.
We meet just one minute.
Oh, oh, there's so much left to say.
And angel peace.
With you.
Cool breeze now.
He's watching.
He's aware now.
Not alone.
You'll meet again.
And meet again.
[applause]
ANNOUNCER (ON LOUDSPEAKER): This is entry number 55.
"Munchausen by Proxy."
[applause]
[music playing]
GHOST MONROE: Someday, we'll be safe from gods and lies.
Place your cup before us all.
Gaze at the sky with your eyes of wonder.
I see angels falling down.
Grab your lover, dance around.
Black heart, white lips sing out loud.
I see angels falling down.
Grab your lover, dance around.
Black heart.
White lips, sing out loud.
I see angels falling down.
Grab your lover.
Dance around.
Black heart, white lips.
Sing out loud.
I see angels falling down.
Grab your lover, dance around.
Black heart, white lips.
Sing out loud.
I see angels falling down.
[applause]
Me and Gia did amazing.
I think Miss Abby's gonna be really
happy with our performance.
And I think that I played the character of being
a controlling mother very well.
ANNOUNCER (BY LOUDSPEAKER): Third place.
"Munchausen by Proxy."
[applause]
And that means the highest scoring duet, "My Big Brother."
[applause]
I'm so relieved that Brady and Lilly got
first overall in their duet.
I think it's going to give Brady that boost his confidence
needs to get him back on top.
When you lose, and you're third, you don't get noticed.
I had two jackets that I was ready to give out.
But they can wait till Pyramid.
This is the ALDC.
I want the best on my team.
There might be a kid that takes your place, because there's
always somebody out there that jumps higher,
that turns faster, that's prettier, that's smarter,
and there's always a new game in town.
I'm going to give you the jackets out.
I said that I would pick one dancer from each duet.
I thought long and hard about that decision.
The first jacket is going to Lilly.
[applause]
Right there.
Thank you.
The second official team member getting her jacket today
is Pressley.
[applause]
Thank you.
You're welcome.
You have a lot to work today.
Pressley, you've never been invisible.
