                      Season 2, episode 7

Last week was a mess
Maddie fell and got hurt
Nia had a panic attack
Kendall might be leaving
And I got second...

"Ladies, let's go! Come on" Abby yells

We all get into studio A

"We have lots to go over. it's gonna be a busy, busy, busy week here" Abby says

"No coming late, no leaving early"

"Now, Texas. We had all these plans made to go to New Jersey. And then, at the last minute we had to completely flip it. There's a lot of dance companies in this country that would've said., "Fine. We're not going" but we didn't do that. We went, some great things happened, and some really bad things happened"

"Now, this week, we're going to Hollywood Vibe right here in Pittsburgh" Abby says

We all clap

" I want to see 100% from every single one of you. remember, we're in our backyard. You have a target on your back. So do I"

"The group number is called "Private Eyes." I'm gonna arm you with a secret weapon. You're gonna be using guns in this routine."

I raise my eyebrows

"When you step on that stage, I want you to kill it. Understood? You're gonna blow the competition away" Abby says

"Now we're gonna move into the pyramid"

Pyramid

"Mackenzie, you went from first to worst in one routine. you always have to keep working"

I look down at Kenzie and smile at her

She'll make it again

"Nia, you had a pretty dance. I thought you did well, no problem"

"Kendall, I understand the costume was an issue. Jill, I'm sure you have something to say about it. But I'll tell you what it doesn't matter what you wear. Ultimately, at the end of the day, it's your technique, and that's what you need to work on" Abby says

Kendall nods

"All right. Next...Maddie"

I smile at that. First time being at the bottom

"Maddie, you could've been seriously injured. Get the pout off your face, Maddie. You know that you made that mistake, and that's what you get"

"So let that be a lesson to everybody. Don't change your mind in midair"

"Moving on...Chloe. Chloe, it was good, but obviously not good enough"

"Next, I have Brooke. Great performance and then you forgot the ending. You didn't know what you were doing, you just fizzled out"

"Next, Maci. You also did a great performance, but it was like the entire dance you were focused on one thing and that was the floor. You can't be scared, you played it safe and it got you second" Abby says

I nod

"And on the top of the pyramid... Paige" Abby reveals Paige's headshot

We all squeal and hug Paige

We all squeal and hug Paige
