About this episode

"I can't imagine you're watching Dance Moms every night, you know for fun!" Christi remarks to Ed Phelan, an OG Dance Moms choreographer who returns to the Barre this week after a two year hiatus to check-in on Christi and Kelly as they tackle Season 4's "No More Crybabies". With Nationals quickly approaching Abby begins to shift focus on to who will be getting solos

and whose going to be left on the sidelines. She assigns Mackenzie, Select team member Tea, and Sarah H solos to see who will get cut from consideration. Though Abby does Sarah H no favors by giving her a dance centered around the Holocaust of all things! It wasn't about that once the episode aired, but it must have been fun explaining that one to the kids!


But Abby is more worried about the fact the ALDC is slated to compete against Ava at this week's competition, which inspires the classic Abby move of, "What if I surprise added Maddie to the line-up?!" which she's certain everyone will like! Shockingly Maddie's inclusion doesn't earn Abby any goodwill, and instead works to only encourage the other moms to turn on Melissa who allowed her other daughter to be upstaged.


Quotes

  • “It was the ugliest menagerie of clothing I've ever seen. But I digress, that's every week." (18:21-18:26 | Christi)
  • “It was nice to see her in a shirt that wasn't black with blue writing. It was blue with black writing! I was like oh we're expanding!" (23:20-23:25 | Christi)
  • “This is giving Schindler's List." (32:49-32:51 | Christi)
  • “I don't think anybody should be demonstrating a temper tantrum more than Abby Lee Miller." (47:26-47:32 | Christi)
