- Payton just fell. - Who?
MOM: Oh my god.
Payton?
[bleep]
[gasp]
LESLIE: Oh, my god.
MOM: She tripped over her foot. - Ow.
LESLIE: What happened?
MOM: Just the moms, girls. LESLIE: Where?
What'd you trip over?
What did you trip over?
ABBY LEE MILLER: Tell me now, 1 to 10.
Pain at 1 to 10.
Nine.
LESLIE: I get to Payton, and she is in so much pain.
She's not going to be able to get out there and dance
with whatever's wrong. CHRISTI: Oh, my god.
You heard it crack?
ABBY LEE MILLER: All right. Stop.
Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.
Get over there and start reblocking this number.
Wake up.
Go.
The show must go on.
Payton is getting the medical attention she needs,
and the girls need to stop watching Payton
and reblock the number.
And perform without Payton like the professionals
that I'm training them to be.
What she heard cracking could be popping.
Could be a ligament, could be a tendon.
Take a break. - [sobbing]
ABBY LEE MILLER: Take a breath.
LESLIE: Oh.
Look who's here.
- Can you take us? - Amen.
- I think I'm hurt too. - Hubba hubba.
GIRLS: [exclaiming] - My foot hurts too.
Ouch. ABBY LEE MILLER: All right?
Payton? Strong.
She's strong.
She's really strong.
LESLIE: I don't know what's going to happen.
It can be broken.
It can be sprained, you know.
It doesn't matter. It's an injury.
She's going to be sitting out no matter what,
which makes her even more vulnerable
to being replaced on this team.
[sobbing]
- Bye. - I'll call.
We don't know. We have to get X-rays.
All this pressure that's been put on these kids all week
because of the open auditions--
then on top of it, Payton can't dance.
I really need for these kids to go
out there and nail this number.
All right, girls.
[clapping hands]
You reblocked it.
You should know it.
That's your responsibility.
If somebody goes out there and does the wrong spacing
and messes it up, it's not going to be Payton's fault.
It's going to be your fault.
You never know what's in store.
I need to see each and every one of you start to want it.
Because if you don't want it, somebody else does.
Everyone's replaceable. - All right.
Come on.
Here we go.
Break a leg, everybody.
[applause]
ABBY LEE MILLER: I'm judging this group
performance as if it were an audition
for the Abby Lee Dance Company.
I can cut somebody right here and right now,
just like I did at the open call audition.
[MUSIC - ASHLEY LENNON THOMAS, "LOSING YOU"]
(SINGING) Oh, I hope there is a soul and meeting place.
Losing you like, like--
[applause]
The group looked good.
The reblocking definitely worked.
They went out there and performed like professionals.
They did their job, and that's what they're expected to do.
ANNOUNCER: Now for our Elite Junior Small Groups.
Starting off in second place, with a score of 270 points,
is act number 66, "Birmingham Sunday" from Studio 5D.
Ladies and gentlemen, your highest-scoring Elite Junior
Small Group with a score of 281.2 points is act number 68,
"Smells Like Teen Spirit" from the Abby Lee Dance Company.
[applause]
CHRISTI: Great job, girls.
HOLLY: Our group won first place overall.
Abby doesn't need anybody else for this team.
She has her team right here, and she
should be more than satisfied.
ABBY LEE MILLER: Congratulations.
I think it was good, but they're trained to do that.
They know how to do that.
My group should be 10 points above, or my duet, or my trio,
against anybody else.
