"The pressure is on you. You are representing my entire career" Abby informs Chloe in the studio.
Next we see the moms crowded around the front desk, where Abby is sitting. "They need to get over it. They've been jealous of Hadley and Maddie from day one and still are" She laughs.
We see Hadley in studio C, with a nervous expression. "When you least expect it, I'm gonna throw you out there to do it" Abby informs the little girl.
Flash forward to the moms upstairs in the viewing room. "We wanted you to say to her. Why did you lie?" Christi says.
Now we see the girls in the dressing room, rehearsing the group dance. "Push! There! Right there, girls! Don't hunch those shoulders!" Abby screams.
We see Mackenzie back stage in a solo costume with Chloe, Hadley, and Paige. Mackenzie was in Hadley's arms. "I fell and I got hurt" she cried.
In the dressing room, Abby has a serious tone. "You know you forgot a step?" Abby asked Paige, who laughed. "Well don't laugh about it, cause it's not funny" Abby states, Paige's smile disappears.

Hadley was sitting cross-legged on the floor, slipping on her jazz shoes and giddily chatting with her friends. The past weekend had been a rough one, but she was slowly getting over the fact that she had failed.
"I'm just so happy to be back in Pittsburgh this week," Maddie said, her eyes shining with excitement.
Hadley nodded in agreement. "Me too. New York is officially my least favorite place to be," she groaned.
Christi looked down at her watch, her expression annoyed. "She's an hour late to pyramid," she informed Kelly.
"Girls, go check Studio A and just start stretching or something," Kelly instructed them.
The kids nodded and peeked their heads inside.
"Where's Abby?" Kenzie asked, walking in slowly.
Brooke chimed in. "Where is she?"
The girls started to get into their line, doing pirouettes to kill time.
"I wonder where Abby is," Paige added, laughing at the end.
Christi and Kelly looked at each other with concern. "She ditched us in Jersey, maybe she didn't come home?" Christi suggested.
"Who thinks Miss Abby is going to apologize for leaving us stranded?" Kelly asked the girls.
