-Who's in the limo? -Of course they are.
-Don't look at 'em. -Ignore 'em.
-We're classier. -Such [bleep] they have a limo.
All right, let's go, guys.
Nothing like arriving in style.
I don't want you to spill it, kids.
Oh, look at a shambling mess.
Oh! Did you come in the big crappy bus from Pittsburgh?
Hey, you know what, Ab? That hair is not gonna make
the limo look any worse.
-Cathy, go to hell! -Oh!
Abby, please!
Such terrible language in front of children!
You know what? She just fumbled!
I think somebody just fumbled the ball.
-Who are we? -[kids] Apple Core! Apple Core!
I want to introduce Cathy,
and this is a little boy from Seattle, Washington...
-Hey, listen, Abby! Abby! -A young man
-from San Diego. -Abby! Hey, Abby!
-A little boy from... -You know what?
[dad] What is your point?
-This is a dog-training tool. -That she's a fake!
It makes the dog sit down and shut up.
Are you saying that every girl at your school
started and finished there?
-Yes. -Okay, time out.
Every single girl at your school never danced anywhere else?
No, but they have to be in my studio for one year.
-Sir! -Okay, I rest my case.
Talk to your wife like that.
Don't talk to another woman like that.
I don't talk to my wife like that
because my wife wouldn't talk to children like that.
-Listen, Abby. -You have no right.
I want to tell you something.
You're just scared!
-Amen. Amen. -Let's go, guys. Let's go.
You're just scared.
Let's go.
These moms always accuse me
of using their daughters as pawns
in this game of competition.
But you know what?
They should've had their daughters in the studio
while they were out in the parking lot
waging a war against me.
Nia can go by herself. That's fine.
[Holly] Yeah, but when I sent her by herself last season,
you grilled me to no end,
and I was not only finished but done. Well done.
I think she's immature
and she needs to grow up a little bit.
You didn't walk in her shoes when she
and she was in a wheelchair.
Are we on this feet thing again?
We are because that's who she is.
-I understand that. -Doesn't define her,
she doesn't use it as a crutch, but every now and then,
she does have pain, which is real.
-But there's no injury. -It's real.
I'm about this far from pulling the duet.
[Holly] No, she needs to do the duet to prove to you
that she's capable of dancing and dancing well through pain.
I know, but your mouth is ugly, woman.
You are a monstrosity of evil.
You want to talk about ugliness.
You're done. You're done. No duet.
-Whatever. -I'm a monstrosity of evil?
-Yes, you are. -I'll show you evil.
That's your name and reputation.
-Unprofessional. -Yeah, I know.
Evil monstrosity. I got it.
I have to do something to keep these moms in line.
Last week, Christi flipped out,
and now Holly's acting up.
If there aren't consequences for their horrible behavior,
they're just gonna keep doing it.
Three years ago, I didn't know if my kid could walk again,
let alone dance again.
And she's making fun of it, making a mockery of that.
That's wrong.
But you know what, Nia has survived much worse than this.
And this would just reflect
on how mean-spirited that woman is.
Because that's why I'm here, to defend my kid
when she acts like a fool.
Wow.
Where's Abby?
-Not here. -Not here. She's mad.
Where's Sophia?
Oh, and by the way, we're missing someone.
Yes, we are. We're missing a key person in our team.
Where is she?
[Holly] Unfortunately, she was suspended.
Suspe-- You see, parents,
the kind of stuff that these poor women put up with?
Suspension.
You know, I have fathers opening doors for me.
Our fathers would open the doors for us too.
You guys just never bring your fathers.
So, I'm so sorry that Abby's pouting
and that you guys are sitting here threading.
No, this is to sew our hats on.
This is what dance moms do.
You guys can arrive in limos...
-Wasn't that fun?! -...and sit pretty...
-Gosh, Jill, wasn't that fun?! -Doesn't make you a dance mom...
Oh, come on, you know that that was fun.
Oh my gosh, I love-- I love your pants.
-Thank you. -You look cute.
-Thank you. -All right.
Do something with that hair, Jill. Let's go.
[door opens]
[Jill] She really is pouting.
I hate to say it, but we have to beat those kids!
We have to.
We have to beat Cathy this week
and by a lot.
Not just by a tenth of a point this time.
[man] Here we go, it's entry number 89.
Please help me welcome to the stage
"Top of the World."

Great job! Woo!
That's how you do it.
[Abby]
was just the same exact steps
they did the week before.
My kids learned something new.
We have to win.
I mean, it's a matter of life or death.
It's survival.
These boys cannot get one over on us.
[dramatic music playing]
Everything is serious, okay?
-No smiles. -No.
Good luck, ladies. Have fun.
One, two, three, four, one, two, three, four...
one, two, one, two, one, two.
[yelling]
-We got this. -We got this, guys.
[man] All right, up next will be entry number 88.
Please give it up for "Avalanche."
[applause]
[grim and dramatic instrumental music playing]
Come on.
[music building]
-[music fades] -[applause]
[dramatic music playing]
Was it good?
All on the right time. That was good.
No, we didn't. Not on this part.
-The line? -Someone in the back didn't.
[Abby]
The girls made several big mistakes.
I'm just hoping the judges didn't notice
because I want this win.
I
And our 9 to 11 small groups, ladies and gentlemen.
Third place champion is...
[tense music playing]
"Avalanche," number 88.
[applause]
Second place,
"Boy Meets Girl," number 84.
[solemn music playing]
And now, ladies and gentlemen, in your 9 to 11 small groups,
the highest scoring group today in a very competitive category,
your champion and winner will be...
-"Top of the World." -[cheering and applause]
Yeah! Woo!
Yeah, boys!
They wanted to beat us. They're gonna beat us.
Congratulations again, in good company.
That was a fierce category.
Ladies and gentlemen, put your hands together
for our top performers.
Everybody take a bow. Let's hear it for 'em.
There you go.
[Cathy]
And it was like the cherry on top of the sundae
to beat Abby.
So, Abby,
how ya feelin'?
I'm fabulous.
Great. It was a great number.
Fell short though.
Let's talk about third place.
-[Abby] Let's talk about it. -These boys have you rattled.
-They don't have me rattled. -Oh, really?
Then why are you so agitated?
[Abby] Their obnoxious dads do.
And you don't have obnoxious moms?
[Abby] Oh, lots.
How about your "it" girl, Kendall?
She couldn't even place.
I'm still trying to erase the bad habits she picked up.
Do you know what? You're gonna see more of me.
Cathy, let's get this kid and put her against Mackenzie.
[Cathy] You know what, don't you dare
talk about that kid.
I heard you talk about
-Oh, shut up, Jill. -Don't talk about my kid!
-What you have on doesn't match. -You're rude and disrespectful
and that's why your children left.
Now you know how it feels.
What's wrong, big boy? You were all mouth before.
You're too busy digesting that crow you had to swallow.
Oh, I didn't swallow any crow.
My child just went out there and won.
It doesn't matter. At the end of the day, you still lost.
Who was the little girl that showed up for 16 counts?
Oh, I'll go get her for you!
I'll let her show you what she can do!
Where's Ayla?
-So... -Cathy, no one wants you here.
You think if I throw this on her, the witch...
-Jill, shut your mouth! -Shut
-Ooh! That was good! -No, I didn't mean to do that.
-Let me see. -I didn't mean to do that.
No, I thought the witch would melt.
Really, I apologize.
I didn't even know the lid was off.
'Cause I didn't mean to do
If Christi can come after me...
Get out!
Oh my God, you are such a [bleep] bitch.
-Oh, please. -Fine!
I get a hundred--
[Jill] Come on! Bring it on, bitch!
-Don't do it. -[Abby] That woman just hit me.
Go ahead. Water doesn't hurt me.
-Grow up! -You grow up!
Get a life!
Don't say anything
about my child ever again!
-Jill, it's okay. -You don't deserve...
-Shut your mouth! -...to look at her
with those disgusting eyes of yours!
You're so two-bit, Jill, it's not even funny.
Get lost, bitch!
