[dramatic music]
There you go.
That's your line.
All this is twerking your knee.
Six, seven, eight-- [vocalizing]
YVETTE: I'm so excited.
It's Hadley's week.
She is Tinker Bell, and she is with Anthony.
I could not be any happier.
ANTHONY: Six, seven, eight--
[vocalizing] Boom!
You've got to go right away.
OK.
Being at the bottom the last two weeks
puts more pressure on me to do better in this competition.
Wow. Nuh-uh.
Stop looking at it.
I can see it.
Go.
Foom.
Fill your line.
Right on top of that.
So-- don't-- don't bring it back down.
Once you go up, you bring it down.
You go right to your pique.
But keep that back up.
Uh-uh.
Foom.
You got to focus. Come on.
Come on.
If you can't focus, then there's no point.
And you're not retaining it.
HADLEY: I have to do great in this routine.
And if you make a couple mistakes
at this point in the competition,
they might send you home.
And, I mean, I want to win this so badly.
So I have to do my routine perfectly.
I'm just feeling a lot of pressure in my rehearsal today.
I mean--
[sniffles]
I've had a pretty rough two weeks.
ANTHONY: What's wrong?
[sobbing]
Look at me. Just breathe.
Just relax.
YVETTE: It's just a lot of pressure.
She was called "road kill."
She is stressed out because she's ranked
last, the last two weeks.
Abby completely crossed the line.
What words she said to Hadley were absolutely cruel.
Abby, I'm reading your facial expression,
and you don't seem that happy.
Should I say "road kill?"
CROWD: Aw.
I mean, her tongue was a knife,
and it definitely cut us down.
You have to use this, you know?
Put those emotions into this--
into that dance in here.
So I don't want to see these tears.
They don't mean anything to me.
You know?
Because you're a better dancer than that.
Don't let people break us.
It just builds us.
And it builds us stronger than ever.
They're going to see a different Hadley this week.
Show them what you can do.
I've never seen you like this.
This is Hadley's comeback week, so we're
going to use this as fuel.
Our second performance of the night
is a jazz piece about Tinker Bell.
Here's Hadley.
[applause]
[MUSIC - REACHBACK, "BUTTERFLIES"]
[singing] My wings are breaking.
I'm forgetting how to fly to you.
The wind keeps on pushing me down.
Resisting against it just to try and break right through.
Sitting on the frozen moon just looking down on you.
These butterflies just keep on coming,
and I'll just keep on running 'til I get to you.
Oh oh.
Please promise me.
Oh please.
Don't turn off your light tonight.
[applause]
Woo-hoo!
Hadley, I think that pixie dust worked.
I think you always have to work on your feet,
but I watched you.
You knelt right here in front of me,
and those insteps stayed on the ground.
Richie?
I have to say that at the end of the day,
you gave me more of a performance
than I actually expected from you, so great job.
I thought it was a really beautiful, clean performance.
I liked it a lot.
Did I absolutely love it?
I'm not sure.
Nice job, Hadley.
Thank you judges.
You can head down to the green room with your mom.
OK.
YVETTE: It-- it wasn't her best performance.
But-- but it's OK.
At least she wasn't slaughtered.
So I'm hoping we're not going home.
But you never know.
Hadley, I thought you were sprite.
I thought you were fun.
However, both of you had flaws.
Hadley, today is not your day.
You took it like a champ.
[somber piano]
And when I gave you those tough critiques,
you stood there with a smile on your face
and you learned something.
And I thought for sure that you were going to come back strong,
and maybe win this competition.
But today, that grande jet --
hooking the foot-- it just wasn't enough.
Tinker Bell, thank you.
Now it's time to fly away home.
Thank you.
ABBY: Thank you, sweetheart.
