Summary

"That is one of the dances I pull out and show people to say I had to do this on national television when I was 13," according to Chloe; so despite what the actual results of this week's competition say; we're in for a real stinker this week!

As the second half of "Another One Bites the Dust" gets underway at DanceKidsUSA, Cathy makes a surprise appearance... ok well the moms knew she would be there, but Abby was none the wiser and is immediately displeased. She attempts to put on a good face and ignore Cathy's barbs, but it's begins to dawn on Abby that production may be up to something with Cathy (Nationals are around the corner after all). Offscreen Abby gets her jabs in by talking over Lucas' solo entree, which rightfully riles up Cathy.

Meanwhile Nia stuns with her tribute solo to Maya Angelou, which for many fans is often remembered as one of Nia's best. But despite being equally praised by the judges, the same cannot be said of the group routine: The Seven Dancers. Maybe it's the t-shirts, the awkward black belts or the bizarre headpieces... but anyway you look at it, it's a pretty bad dance. Did you like this dance? Because it's been 11 years and we still don't know how this took 1st!

Quotes

“Kelly, they know we're normal people if they listen to the podcast... I don't think Kelly has pants on right now you guys. I was hot! We're pretty normal, Kelly doesn't have pants on." (08:27-08:41 | Christi & Kelly)
“I was just going to say I've been mad before but I've never tried to injure someone, that's not true!" (14:07-14:12 | Christi)
“Tracey thought this dance was atrocious. She struggled all week and wondered why she let her daughter do it on TV. This dance is awful. Yeah, try doing that for four seasons!" (40:08-40:20 | Christi & Kelly)
“I told you I agreed with that, but you don't say that! You say that to someone behind the scenes later in the privacy of your own home with a glass of wine. Exactly!" (54:10-54:23 | Christi & Kelly)
