"Let's go! Moms, welcome to Millennium. This is one of the premier dance studios in L.A" Abby says.

"All right, ladies, this week we are staying right here in California" Abby says

We clap

"Yes. But it want to talk about the iHollywood competition. You were not focused on that company. And I want to compliment each and every one of you on that little girl Nicaya that came to our studio" Abby says.

"You were all friendly, you all behaved like nice young ladies" Abby says

"You guys, I don't know what happened" Abby says to the moms

"Let's put iHollywood behind us. We are moving on to the pyramid" Abby says

"On the bottom of the pyramid...Kendall. You're back on the team, that's where you have to start. I thought you were outstanding in the group routine. It's those shoulders, the technique, everything that has to continue to improve" Abby says.

I smile at Kendall.

"Next... Paige. You're coming off an injury, you did the group routine, I thought you did very well. You should be 100% by this week. You need to dance full out"

"And next.. Brooke. You were in the group dance, and you did not finish the routine in time with everybody else"

"And next we have Maddie. Maddie, and the group dance, you just kind of blended in. A dancer like you should stand out amongst the crowd"

"Moving on, Nia. You were given something, the music was very difficult for me to choreograph to. It was also difficult to dance to. I thought you handled it really well. Your big problem is the technique. So you need to step it up, babe"

"Next, Chloe. Chloe, you made it to the top five. I want number one. You need to be consistent. You came out, you did two turns and bobbled all over the place"

"Next, Mackenzie. I was very proud of you. You placed third. But that was like the best you danced. And it was a very difficult competition"

"On top of the pyramid, Hazel. You wanted to be on this team so bad. So bad that you proved me that you can be on this team. The competition was tough but you still won. You are on fire" Abby says.

I beam. I am so glad to be back on the team. I wanted nothing more.
