For a Good Time Call... Abby?

Christi Lukasiak & Kelly Hyland
About this episode

"Abby's like, 'I'm just exhausted from dealing with moms, problems, and psychos. I'm thinking you and me are the psychos.'" jokes Kelly, who can't help but take a few strays even when she isn't there anymore!


It's the second half of "Abby-phobic" and the ALDC is coming face to face with Studio Bleu at Imagine National Dance Challenge. Jade and Chloe prep their solos, but Abby and Gia have fallen behind on giving Chloe the rest of her choreography. Ontop of that, Chloe accidentally smacks Maddie, sending Abby into a tizzy and putting Christi on the defensive. Lauree is also mad with Abby as she believes Jade is being set-up to fail and begins to question their involvement on the team.


Studio Bleu proves to be a force to be reckoned with, as it becomes increasingly clear the ALDC might simply be a little too young to stand a chance in the teen division. But the moms can't help but wonder if Abby hadn't chickened out at the possibility of Maddie losing, if their original group dance might have had a shot at winning. But do the girls' dances hold up to 11 years later? Did their talents deserve more recognition?



Quotes

  • “I just wanted to point out that Lauree was trying to like, talk s**t on you! Oh yay, luck me." (18:43-18:50 | Christi & Kelly)
  • “I'd much rather fight as like a dance teacher and a colleague than as a crazy mom whose always told they don't know anything.” (25:46-25:52 | Christi)
  • “I live in fear of what I might post online when I'm out." (42:29-42:33 | Christi)
  • “It's really hard to argue with people you don't have a stake in." (48:10-48:13 | Christi)
