Superstar, ᵈᵃⁿᶜᵉ ᵐᵒᵐˢ

2.5 Brooke's Back

"Girls, come on. Let's go. Moms, in here." Abby calls and all the girls and moms walk in. Today, Cassie is wearing a black bralette with blue outlining and blue booth shorts. She also has a black bow clipped into her high ponytail

"At this time, I would like to officially welcome Kendall. You're a member of the Abby Lee Dance Company. Here you go" Abby hands Kendall her ALDC jacket as the rest of the moms and girls clap. Cassie turns to Kendall and gives her a big hug, super proud of her knew friend for accomplishing this

"Now, listen to me. This doesn't mean it's smooth sailing from here on out. It means you really have to work hard." Abby explains and Kendall nods. "When you're wearing that jacket, she can't be all hunched over and slouching. So if you see that, Mom, you take a thumbtack and you stick it right between her shoulder blades."

Abby then moved on to the competition. "We are going to Starbound Competition in Long Island, New York. And I'll tell you what, they are ready for us. They want to beat the Abby Lee Dance Company. And they are serious. They're like sharks in the water. They can taste the blood."

"All right, now... Mackenzie. You do well with your solo the last time, you need to do even better this time"

"Nia, chosen for a special part. Your mom didn't want you to do it. Not a lot to say"

"Next, Paige. You didn't do a solo. You didn't do a duet or trio. So there wasn't a lot to judge you on."

"Kendall, you're off probation. You're a member of the team. However, we need to fix the feet, the turn out, the back of the knees. You still have a lot of work ahead of you, honey."

"Moving on, Maddie. Did a great job, won your category. I have to keep challenging you"

"Next, Cassie. Cassie, you also won your division, plus you were the overall solo of the entire competition. You did great, but you need to keep improving. You can't always have it this easy"

"And next, we have Chloe"

| When Abby revealed the center row of the pyramid and it was Chloe, Cass and Maddie, I was shocked. I didn't think Peyton performed well enough to be at the top of the pyramid. | Kelly Hyland

"Chloe, when you walk backstage into those wings, you have to walk in there with arrogance and your nose up in the air just like you walk in this studio every day. Those other girls should be afraid of you just because you're Chloe and you're from the Abby Lee Dance Company."

"And on top of the pyramid... is Brooke" Abby reveals and everyone gasps. The door then opens and Brooke walks in making all the girls scream and run to her. Meanwhile, Peyton started crying and when the girls realized, they went over and hugged her

Kendall Paige Nia Mackenzie

"I know you all are wondering how could she be on top of the pyramid? Not only is she going to do a solo this week and not only should she win, I demand that you win." Abby states, adding tremendous pressure to Brooke

"Peyton, we all know everyone is replaceable. You were not the right replacement for this group. You had a great experience. You saw the gateway to the West. You cannot be upset" Abby begins

"She has a right to be upset, Abby. You dangled a carrot in front of her and you just ripped it away. For what? For her daughter to just come in and take a spot as a stranger? And for Brooke to leave, and you take her back? Where is your loyalty? We have been so loyal to you." Leslie yells

"Loyalty?" Kelly exclaims

"Wait a minute. Wait a minute" Abby tries to stop Leslie's rant.
