Chloe, here is your costume.
[applause]
My last hurrah at Starbound was not so fabulous.
We saw! We came! We kicked...
[indistinct chatter]
My entire reputation. This is humiliating.
That's not gonna happen again.
I want to win. I want to win big.
So you're good, yes?
[Chloe] I'm not nervous at all.
See? Maybe I should send Chloe to The Woods every week.
She just said, "I'm not nervous at all."
-Usually she's like... -You know what, forest ranger?
Come on, get over here, Yogi Bear.
Because there was a hundred things wrong with that.
Don't try to make her nervous. You don't want her to be.
I don't want her to be nervous. I want her to win.
Abby was blaming me for stressing Chloe out
before she goes on stage, but really,
if you look at things, it's probably Abby
that stresses Chloe out before she goes on stage.
She's constantly barking at her.
[Abby] You ready, Chloe?
[woman] Let's go.
[indistinct chatter]
Christi and I are walking to watch the performance...
and who's in the hallway but the wicked bitch, Leslie.
What are you doing here?
Did you really think I was gonna allow you guys
to intimidate me not to come?
We weren't trying to intimidate you.
Like, you attacked us all week.
Okay, listen,
we're here because when we start something,
-we finish it. -I don't care what you think.
That is just I and T.
You know what, Leslie?
You're not a member of this team--
Just like your daughter's here to dance,
-Payton's here to dance. -Where's Payton?
-She's in the green room. -Good for you, Leslie.
Go ahead. Go to the green room.
[Leslie] You're witches.
[Christi] Oh, well, takes one to know one.
Careful someone doesn't drop a house on you!
I think it's pretty safe to say
that considering that I had quite a blowup at Leslie,
the dressing room's not exactly gonna be
full of warm and fuzzies.
[applause]
[Chloe]
I'm still confident that I had enough rehearsal time,
and that I'm confident in my performance.
[applause]
Whoo!

I felt very good about my solo when I walked off stage.
I'm shaking. Look.
And I thought Chloe also did great.
It just makes me so happy when I watch her.
There you are! You didn't freak yourself out.
I'm so proud of you!
You should be proud of yourself, kiddo.
[woman] Good job!
Maddie, it was so emotional on stage.
It was wonderful.
Whoo-hoo! Yay!
I like that. Good girl.
Whoa. Where's Chloe?
-Thank you. -Beautiful.
Abby just hugged Chloe after a dance.
You're going to camp every week.
No, you're never going to camp again.
I don't know.
[Abby]
Christi, it's not about you.
You're not the dance teacher.
Even though you think you are, you're not.
Trio, let's go.
Out of all my numbers this week,
the trio has been the hardest to block.
I hope when those girls get out on stage
they pull it together.
Come on, girls.
I'm really excited to do the trio,
but I'm very nervous
about doing my front aerial.

I would be surprised if the trio does anything at all.
I was worried because I think Abby's gonna be really mad.
The whole dance for me was horrible.
You guys did great.
I was looking at you guys the whole time.
She's gonna be yelling at me the most.
We all missed something. It's not just you, Nia.
Well, whenever we go in, don't say anything to Miss Abby.
Don't say if we did good or bad.
It goes bad because I'm the littlest.
I messed up a lot of things.
We're gonna be in trouble.
A lot.
Hey, girls.
Hug.
[indistinct chatter]
[Nia]
because everybody knew that they did something wrong.
And all of us were nervous that Miss Abby
was gonna yell at us.
[Abby] How about the trio?
It was a little disappointing.
I thought it started off a little rocky.
Mackenzie, you have to learn to listen to the music.
The judges did not like that number.
They didn't like that number. They didn't like Nia
falling on her butt in front of their face, center stage.
Did Abby forget so quickly
that Maddie missed pretty much the same trick
a few weeks ago?
And the reaction from Abby is totally different.
All right, Payton.
Let's go.
[Payton]
And I didn't feel like I had enough preparation
for my solo.

I think Payton did well
for her not being properly prepared
and not having a lot of rehearsal time.
[indistinct chatter]
Leslie, how was Payton?
[Leslie] She got no practice time, so...
You know what, Leslie? I don't want to hear it.
You asked for the solo, we threw it at her.
-She didn't get any practice. -When you go to an audition,
do you get time to go practice on it?
No. You learn it right there
and you do it in front of the producers and director.
All the moms need to zip it.
It's my way or the highway,
and that's the way it's gonna be.
And if you don't like it...
Kelly, remember when you came down to the desk
and asked me about, why is Payton here?
No, I didn't ask why she's here. I asked why she's doing a solo.
I think that the other girls in the group
should have been offered a solo before Payton was.
All I did was ask, that's all.
We already know that they don't want us in there.
So if the group number doesn't do well,
I have to be honest,
I will feel guilty
that they will blame it on Payton.
You want to know why the kids and us
don't want Payton here?
Because you bully them.
Save your tears for the pillow.
Don't talk to me like that. I'm an adult.
Right, so you shouldn't be sitting here boo-hooing.
And look at those three over there.
What in God's name would you care what they think?
Who are they? They are nobody.
Just stop.
I really hope that this is the last we see of Leslie.
I mean, she is hard to take...
and we've taken a lot of her lately.
