This week we will be going to New York City.
You will be competing at Sheer Talent.
Paige and Chloe, you will be performing a duet.
The name of the duet?
Aptly titled "Wishbone."
Not only do we have a competition in New York,
but Maddie and her friend Kalani are getting
to do a duet at Nouveau.
So I have to rely on Paige.
I hope Kelly embraces this as a wonderful opportunity for Paige
instead of having a hissy fit because Paige
has too much on her plate.
Hello!
How are you?
Oh, look who's here!
She always blames other people.
How are you?
I don't even know who any of these people are.
Well, that's Kalani.
Well, I do think these girls are here specifically to check out
the team and maybe come on it.
If she could replace them, replace
our team with those girls, she'd be very happy.
Let's do it. So you're going down, up, hook.
Down, down, down, and then you're going to,
like, break away and pique back.
Chloe and Paige are performing a contemporary duet
called Wishbone.
Now, they're supposed to be exactly alike onstage
until the wishbone breaks.
Chloe played the duet music for me in the car on the way.
- Is it good? - Yeah.
It's really pretty.
But the words-- you are my friend,
but you grew up like my sister.
Aw!
And it says, like, you taught me how to do my makeup.
I mean, it's really sweet.
You're going to New York City.
It's going to be big.
I don't think you're going to be as
confident as you are right now.
Are you better than they are?
I don't know.
I just don't know when this became sabotage your students.
What about those two screams, I'm so full of myself?
- I know. - All right.
Now the duet-- I'm probably not going to get
to talk to you guys back there.
So just be together.
You know, timing.
Strength.
Hitting things.
I'm getting a little worried.
I'm not sure what's going to happen with Chloe and Paige
out there. They may be a hot mess.
The duet with Maddie and Kalani is my secret weapon.
I want to enter that here at Sheer Talent
because I need a big win in New York City.
Yesterday, when Abby was having her open auditions
in New York, Maddie and Kalani were in Pittsburgh
competing their duet.
And Abby mentioned that she might
want to put it into the competition this weekend.
She never mentioned it again.
I said, no big deal.
It just blew over.
You know, I know if this happens Christi and Kelly
are going to be so pissed off.
You know that they brought Kalani
to dance against our kids. - Yeah.
Who's not even part of our team.
ANNOUNCER: Please welcome "2 Sapphires."
[applause]
[MUSIC - BECCA SCHACK, "2 SAPPHIRES"]
All the nights we didn't sleep, all the secrets that I keep.
Oh, without you, I'm weak.
[applause] - Thank you.
[inaudible]
ANNOUNCER: Please welcome "Wishbone."
[applause and cheers]
[MUSIC - DEBBIE NEIGHER, "WISHBONE"]
We started out the same before we split just like a wishbone.
Wishbone.
[applause]
I thin the hardest thing for Chloe
is she asked Maddie if she was doing the duet
and Maddie lied to her.
I don't expect anything less from Melissa.
Maddie, did you lie to them?
No, I'm saying, we did our duet for Nouveau.
But that's the competition I was talking about.
I didn't know if we were doing it here.
You know what? Here's the thing.
You just keep your head up.
Don't let all of that get to any of you.
OK?
And other people are allowed to perform too.
- I know, Chloe, I know. - Poor Chloe.
That's all I'm going to say.
Well, we know what's important.
[inaudible]
You are her friend.
Girls, you all know Kalani.
This is her mother Kira.
Say hello.
So moms, I think Kalani might be our right fit.
The whole package.
Right.
ANNOUNCER: I hold the high score for pre-teen duet.
Second place goes to entry number 165, "Wishbone!"
[applause]
And your top score for pre-teen duo, entry number 76,
"2 Sapphires!"
[applause]
I really hope that Maddie and Kalani's win
was worth it to Melissa.
Because she just lost a couple of friends.
And she just hurt a couple of kids.
