Hi.
WOMAN: Gorgeous.
I am a choreographer.
Oh, my god.
I've worked with everybody.
Google me.
So it's not just about your fouettes, about your turns,
about your aerials.
I don't see you girls as just competition dancers.
The group piece is called "Judgment Day."
So let's get started.
You want to step back here.
There is a new chick in town.
Her name is Miss Gibson.
WOMAN: She could change their lives, I really feel like.
Don't ask me any questions yet.
Six, and five, six, seven, eight.
One, two.
No, it's too soft, right?
Five, six, seven, eight.
One hoo, ha.
Are you lazy?
Is she lazy?
Oh, you all ain't saying nothing.
What are you feeling?
Just try to tell me.
Because I'm OK if you're even going to say,
I'm uncomfortable with you.
I'm scared because you're an A-list choreographer,
and now I don't want you to think I'm lazy.
Say this.
You called me lazy.
DANCER: You called me lazy.
And?
I'm not lazy.
I'm a hard worker.
If you want to scream it, scream it.
DANCER: I'm not lazy!
I'm a hard worker!
LAURIEANN GIBSON: Good job.
I think Laurieann is making a point.
There is a big difference between mean and tough.
If Laurieann Gibson is tough, that
just makes our kids better.
WOMAN: Hey, miss.
What are you up to?
It's Christi.
We all know that Chloe's been gearing up to compete again,
but to join our enemies--
I didn't see that coming.
LAURIEANN GIBSON: Five, and six, and seven, and eight.
One, and two, three, four--
This is the same part that they've been working on
since they started on day one.
WOMAN: We don't always get as much time as we need.
WOMAN: That was good, though.
That was good.
WOMAN: Well, it should be good.
They've been doing that piece since Tuesday.
Here we are, last day of rehearsal,
and I think the group dance is very different from what
we're used to.
We've got a couple hours left to finish our choreography,
perfect it, clean it, and get it on stage the next morning.
LAURIEANN GIBSON: OK, here we go, girls!
[music playing]
Five, six, seven, eight.
The group routine is titled "Judgment Day."
Abby Lee has created a system full of judgment,
so that's why we took the idea of these programmed robots
and my robot dog minis.
And I'm going to reprogram them to liberate themselves.
You guys are superstars, and you have no idea
just how capable you are.
All right, now get in the zone!
We got the world to change!
All right.
[cheering]
OK, listen.
The last time we went up against the ALDC,
we did not bring home a victory.
We need to take that back.
So dance for yourself, but let's dance for Chloe.
Yes?
Yeah!
All right.
Let's do this, you guys.
ANNOUNCER: Entry number 90, "Devil's Playground."
[cheering]
[music playing]
(SINGING) It's the darkest place to take
a taste from this [inaudible].
[cheering]
Chloe!
ANNOUNCER: Please help me welcome entry number
89, "Judgment Day."
[cheering]
[music playing]
[cheering]
It was so good.
They [bleep] killed that [bleep]..
I'll tell Lilly that quote.
All right.
Let's go into some awards.
In fourth place overall, entry number 89, "Judgment Day."
Here's the difference.
Abby does know precisely what judges want
and need to see in competition dance.
I really think that if Abby was here,
this wouldn't have happened.
And in first place, entry number 90,
"Devil's Playground."
[cheering]
I was shocked with the placement.
LAURIEANN GIBSON: I'm going to tell you a secret.
Anything that has to change is uncomfortable.
But a part of me is frustrated because I don't ever fail.
Are you going to come back?
'Cause that's the golden question.
Yes, 'cause I clearly am not finished.
I will be back to dominate this.
I'm in this fight to win.
This is not a game.
