OK, this is gonna be a rough week for me.
Broadway Baby passed away.
I've never seen Abby look so sad.
I mean, Baby really was her baby.
I wouldn't wish this on her in a million years.
I'm here.
We need to get ready.
We are going to St. Louis to Dance Expressions.
It's a huge competition.
The group routine, it is called My Dream Will Be Your Dream.
This is an epic love story.
It's about a peasant girl who is sick.
And she's afraid that the illness is going
to take her life, and she'll be separated
from the man she loves.
I thought I was ready to be back.
I thought I was stronger than this, but, obviously, I'm not.
I'm gonna excuse myself.
I want to go home.
I want to be with my mom.
And I want to be sad.
Maybe the girls can make a big card for her.
Maybe dedicate the dance to her.
Dedicate it to Baby, and the girls would love that.
I know it sounds crazy to change the group dance
and pick a new song, but Abby's very vulnerable right now,
and you rarely see that in her, so I
want her to know that the moms are there for her.
[MUSIC - ELIZE, "BEAUTIFUL DAY"]
Oh, I like it.
Oh, I like it too.
CHRISTI: I think that we do what Abby said.
We're gonna get in a lot of trouble.
We are gonna get a lot of trouble.
Well, I don't know.
I think Abby will really appreciate it.
When's the last time Abby appreciated anything?
She was so cute and never hurt anybody.
You just have a rough day at work, and you come home,
and they kiss you and they lick you.
I wasn't here when she needed me.
JILL: She's a no show again.
I understand that Abby's still grieving,
but we need her right now.
We changed the group dance, a song to a tribute,
for Broadway Baby.
The last thing we need right now is to lose.
It was tough walking back into the studio, but I did it.
Broadway Baby loved the kids, and I think she would
have wanted me to be here.
I want to see that number, all right?
[MUSIC - ELIZE, "BEAUTIFUL DAY"]
CHRISTI: No, no. [INTERPOSING VOICES]
Look, Look, look.
She's finding out that it's not the music.
That is not a look of pleasure or happiness.
Whoa.
This isn't the music.
The girls wanted to do a tribute to you for Baby,
so they wanted to surprise you with this dance and the music.
The girls, or their mothers?
Going behind my back, changing my music,
changing the choreography, is not OK with me.
We just thought, since you were absent,
we would step up and take charge.
ABBY: My kids are not going to that competition
with some Bahama music in white bridal dresses.
It's too bad that Abby can't see the beauty of what
we're trying to do for her.
We're gonna to use the music they want to use,
and the kids are gonna improv.
There's no way they're doing this.
It's almost like Abby is doing improv, because she
wants to prove to us moms.
Don't change her music.
All right, does not look like we
are ready to compete tomorrow.
This is just a feel good pretty number to show off
your beautiful technique, so don't go out and do
the same bad arms that you've been told over
and over and over are wrong.
This has been one of the toughest weeks of my life.
I lost my baby.
And now I'm at this dance competition,
and the kids are improving.
I don't think we have a shot at winning this.
[MUSIC - ELIZE, "BEAUTIFUL DAY"]
(SINGING) Look up at the sun cause it's shining for you.
It's a beautiful day.
It wasn't the best, but the technique looked good.
We'll see what the judges think.
JUDGE: OK, now we'll be moving into our small group.
We're doing our top two scores in the junior division.
Second place with a score of 266.95 points, entry
number 65, Somebody to Love.
First place with a score of 273.13 points--
They just announced second place, and it wasn't us.
There's a really good chance that we didn't place at all.
Entry number 64, Beautiful Day.
[CHEERING]
Our group number wins first place.
I think Broadway Baby was in heaven smiling down upon them.
The girls made this card for you.
I wish she could be here.
If you love Baby and care about her,
then say a prayer that she's OK and that she's good.
[INTERPOSING VOICES]
All dogs go to heaven.
She made everybody smile.
