As Paige, Brooke, and Nia are rehearsing a trio. Nia falls to the ground. "Uh oh! Huh! She just twisted her ankle!" Melissa exclaims from upstairs.
Holly, Nia, and Abby are in the den. "If it gets worse and we have to pull her. Everyone else has to adjust" Abby shrugs.
"I think that's what she's afraid of," Holly states.
The next day, the moms are upstairs arguing about Hadley and Maddie. "We're not talking about your daughter and Hadley! We're talking about what you, Melissa, enable to happen" Christi yells.
Melissa is shown downstairs in Studio A, while a class is going on. "I don't want to dance here anymore Maddie, Hadley I don't think your mom wants you to either" Melissa tells the two little girls.
A few days later, it's the competition and Chloe is performing. In Abby's interview she says, 'I'm watching Chloe in the audience, boom! Forgets another part!'
In the dressing room after the girls have performed, Abby says. "Don't set them up to be ok to fail!" She yells at the moms.

"We are here in New York City. You're going to be going to the Joffrey Ballet School. You guys need to fight for this" Abby tells the girls in a new dance studio.
The next scene shows Cathy walking up the stairs, with her dance team. "Hi guys!" She greets, sarcastically seeing the ALDC.
Now in dance class, Hadley is seen crying in the corner and Maddie is shown looking stressed out. "This is about your kid having an audition tomorrow and her not having her brain in her head!" Abby yells at Mary.
After the dance competition, Abby is shown sobbing. "My entire reputation has been humiliated!" She cries.
The next thing we see is Maddie backstage, crying. "Abby's gonna hate me! I've never done this! I've never done this!" She cries.
Afterwards, Hadley is in the bathroom, with tears streaming down her face. "Get out!" she cries, yelling at Mary.
"Baby, she is not. It's ok" Mary tries.
Hadley gasps for air, seeming to be having a panic attack. "Miss Abby's gonna hate me" she manages.
Abby is outside, talking to the moms. "Your kids are fine without me" she states, getting in a car and driving away.

"All right. Here we are, let's go" Abby tells the girls and moms following behind her.
