The first flashback is to the winter of 2021 when Artem joined Nikki & Brie after season 30 of DWTS to discuss his role as a father with Matteo, being back with the family, and his career goals. He also opens up about his reaction after meeting Nikki for the first time and a memorable moment that resulted in a few bruises. Next up on this Best of Artem episode, Artem shares some special memories with Matteo. Artem also gets his moment in the spotlight to celebrate his love of Star Wars, why he rooted for Darth Vader and continuing the family tradition with Matteo. This segment also features one of the all-time best Nikki segments because we learn how little she knows about a galaxy far, far away. We also get some insight into their day-to-day relationship when it turns out they don’t see eye to eye on what a clean kitchen looks like. The episode closes out with some wise words from our favorite Mirrorball Trophy winner on Inspiration & Affirmation. Artem knows that there’s no substitute for hard work, and overnight success can disappear overnight.
