We have not had a good pyramid in weeks
where Abby was on time, showed up, gave out the dances.
I know.
So is anybody else quitting this week?
No.
Whether Abby admits it or not, I
think hearing that Maddie and Mackenzie
were leaving affected her.
Three weeks from now, the ALDC elite competition team
will never be the same.
Maddie, Mackenzie, and I, we're moving on.
We love you guys so much.
Come here, girls.
I think deep down, Abby won't admit it,
but she is mad that Maddie and Mackenzie are leaving.
She is losing her right-hand man, Melissa, and
her number-one student, Maddie.
I'm nervous how Abby is going to treat Melissa and her kids
for the next couple weeks, because it can't be good.
This weekend, we are traveling to Sacramento, California
to attend Expressions Dance Competition.
JoJo, you will be doing a solo this week.
It's going to be hip-hop.
I love you.
"Million Dollar Baby."
That's my girl.
Brynn, you will be doing a solo.
It's also hip-hop.
And the name of your routine is "Freak."
I'm excited that the dance is hip-hop,
because Brynn is actually a really good hip-hopper.
It is important at this point for Brynn
to show that she can do more than contemporary and lyrical.
Because the more well-rounded she is,
the more valuable she becomes to this team.
My last solo for this week goes to Mackenzie.
Yay, Mackenz.
Hip-hop?
Actually, you are doing "Hoedown
Showdown," a gymnastic routine.
It's what you do.
Mackenzie's amazing at hip-hop.
You should let them all three do hip-hop.
I have never done a hip-hop solo.
And I feel like I'm really improving in hip-hop.
So I hope she changes her mind.
OK, so then you're not going to do a solo.
That's what's going to happen.
Kenzie's only here for a few more weeks.
She's never done a hip-hop solo.
She wants to do a hip-hop solo.
I mean, it's not like she's going
to be able to have multiple opportunities after this season
to do a hip-hop solo.
You know what?
Guys, do whatever you want.
No, Kenzie--
Nope, it's fine.
I have so much work to do.
The group routine is "Broken Dreams."
Oh, my god.
Mackenzie will soon be moving on.
Why not take the opportunity to work
with me on her technique, her releve,
her turnouts, her lines?
Dumb mistake, Mackenzie.
Dumb mistake.
I know, honey.
Kenzie, I know.
Don't worry.
We won't be here much longer.
We almost had a normal pyramid without someone storming out.
Almost.
Abby knows full well that Mackenzie has
been dying for a hip-hop solo.
This is one way for Abby to get back
at Melissa by giving everyone else a hip-hop solo
except Mackenzie.
Kenzie, you guys should not be in a straight line.
Mackenzie, you should be on the outside.
Last time from the top, then we're done.
I think it would be a shame if Kenzie
leaves never doing a hip-hop solo or duo on this team.
Oh, well.
You know, the fact that you have never, ever in five years
asked for a solo.
No.
And you asked, and she did that, is a shame.
What do you have to lose?
I'm just tired.
You have three more weeks.
You can be tired after those three weeks.
I think if nothing else, she owes it to do that for you.
If you do what's right and you stand up for what's right,
you can't control the outcome, but at least
you did everything within your power to do what was right.
By you just settling back, you're
just enabling her bad behavior.
As a mother, you should be saying to Abby,
this is the right thing to do.
Say something.
Why wouldn't you?
I'm going to stand up for my daughter.
That's it.
We only have three weeks left.
I don't want Mackenzie to lose this opportunity.
She's the best hip-hopper on the whole team.
This is a genre that really sets Mackenzie apart from Maddie.
And I really want the whole world to see.
I just want to talk to you real quick.
Shut the dorr!
Get out!
I'm done.
That woman is crazy.
