Come on, ladies. Let's line up.
Gentlemen.
[music playing]
There's 10 dancers still standing only
because one of you got lucky.
And our theme this week is mythology,
the gods and the mortals.
The skill that I'm looking for this week is power.
Today's challenge is the ultimate dance battle.
So anybody here a "Dance Moms" fan?
Please welcome, Maddie and her little sister Mackenzie.
[cheering]
Haley was so excited to see Mackenzie and Maddie.
Hi.
She looks up to all the girls on "Dance Moms."
ABBY LEE MILLER: Now, I'm going to have Maddie
and Mackenzie show you how it's done.
And Maddie, you're up.
[music playing]
Take that, Mackenzie.
[music playing]
Go over there. Get in her face.
Get in her face.
Tell her how it is.
Whoa!
Stop.
She just beat you with that.
There's no touching that.
It's time for our legendary ultimate dance battle.
I'm going to call two people out onto the stage.
When I say go, I want to see what you've got.
When I pick the winner, loser runs to mommy.
Winner stays here.
Come on, Haley.
Give us what you got.
[music playing]
Haley!
Did you just land the side area without your arms up?
Goodbye.
I told you that.
You're ridiculous.
Well, you know what?
Then you don't belong here.
[music playing]
ABBY LEE MILLER: Oh.
Trinity.
I'm coming to win.
ABBY LEE MILLER: Oh, yeah.
You're gone, boy. Out the door.
Let's go.
Come on.
That's a weapon.
[music playing]
CROWD: Whoo!
[cheers and applause]
ABBY LEE MILLER: This might be it.
This might be your last shot, Ally.
[crowd reacts]
Oh, you didn't!
She just got in your face.
She just went like that to you, and you took it.
[cheering]
We have a winner.
Ally, you were one of our worst scorers last night.
Today, you show up with confidence,
with strength, with the ability to psych out your opponent.
You, along with the help of your mom,
get to cast the remaining dancers
in these competition routines.
We're putting Trinity back in a lyrical,
because she danced it really hard.
Here or here?
Kalani will intimidate Haley.
This week I'm doing everything I can
as a mom to keep Ally at the top.
My strategy was to disrupt everyone.
Here we go.
Medusa's Tragic Romance.
Sheryl and Travis, Tina and Trinity.
We have JoJo, Gianna and Chloe in a modern funk routine.
[applause]
And the contemporary number, McKaylee, Ally and Tyler.
Is this arrangement going to work for Ally or is
it gonna end up backfiring?
[music playing]
Hi.
- Oh, hi. - Hi.
[interposing voices]
Nice to meet you.
I'm excited to meet Maddie and Mackenzie.
That's pretty darn cool.
What's the best way to like, handle Abby?
Just whenever she says something mean to you,
just like block it out and fix the correction.
She's hard on us, but it just makes us better.
I just really want to impress Abby.
I mean, she's pleased with Maddie from "Dance Moms."
So that means she can be pleased with somebody.
Good luck in rehearsals, bye.
[laughter]
Remember what I told you.
Nobody is real here.
Nobody wants you to stay.
Tiffany paired me and Kalani together, because she
wanted to make me fail.
But this is a dream come true, and I've been wanting
to do this my whole life.
I'm not going to fail.
Just do it and have fun, and we'll do it good.
Our battle begins with our first dance
of the evening, a jazz piece inspired
by the tale of Zeus and Athena.
Please welcome Kalani and Haley to the stage
to perform "Birth of a Goddess."
[music playing]
(SINGING) The night time falls into the dawn.
Fractured memories in [inaudible]..
Have we lost our way?
We keep crawling.
We were meant to do it!
[vocalizing]
[applause]
And then we turn it over to the judges.
Abby?
Kalani, I saw you do a beautiful back walkover
to a knee, and then you stepped through
on your left foot pigeon-toed!
It's the same bad flaw.
And you keep doing it over and over.
I thought Kalani would be here for the long run.
It never entered my mind that she
might be going home this week.
Richy, last week you used your callback card to save Chloe.
You shocked everybody.
I had to just make sure that if these two were going to try
to send her home, she at least went home
with a real fighting chance.
A lot of pressure on her tonight.
A lot of pressure.
Divine favor, anointed.
[applause]
Please welcome JoJo, Chloe and Gianna.
[applause]
[music playing]
(SINGING) You set my soul, set my soul, set my soul on fire.
You put the world, put my world hanging by a wire.
You are the one come undone so when I see you
to [inaudible] like shiny silver still I stir it up
or return to rust.
I [inaudible] like something is behind you.
Like something lives inside you.
Like you have only minutes left until the end.
[inaudible]
Oh, she fell.
Who did?
Chloe.
(SINGING) [inaudible] left for [inaudible]..
[applause]
Let's hear it for them!
And now it's time for the real scary part.
We turn it over to Abby Lee Miller for the judging.
Gianna, what was going on on the jump in the center?
I don't know.
I think I was early.
Didn't somebody go home because of their timing?
Chloe, when you came around here,
and you were resisting Hades, she
was trying to pull away from you,
and you fell right down on the floor.
And you didn't hold your center.
Chloe, kneel down.
Face stage right.
Pull your ankle off the floor and keep your toes curled.
Can you feel that?
That's what you do every time you're on your knees.
It's horrendous.
Chloe, you have great moments, and you
have really terrible moments.
Chloe, Kalani, this week's skill was about power.
You didn't bring that power to the stage tonight.
Chloe, today is not your day.
Thank you.
[applause]
It's been a great experience.
I'm definitely not going to give up my dream.
I'm just going to keep on showing everyone
else the phoenix in me.
I'm very proud of you.
Just to be here to do goddess work has been powerful for us.
The world is the limit for Chloe.
She's spectacular.
Hi to all my haters.
I love you.
Tiffany trying to sabotage Haley with Kalani didn't work.
When I have evil mothers that don't want my daughter here,
I will make sure that she stays here next week.
Guess what, guys?
My choices and pairings paid off.
We're still here.
