"I need to know who wrote these field notes, cause they're the best ever!" Christi means that with all her heart, because this is probably one of the more entertaining episodes we've gotten to watch in a hot minute, and that's thanks in part to the salties note taker we've gotten yet! There's sarcasm and grievances galore!
With Maddie out acting in Austin and Ally for the week, the girls prep for a chance for a turn int he spotlight... well actually Abby decides that wouldn't be good so no girl will be getting a solo this week. Instead Abby brings out Sarah R. and Brynn to serve as swings for the ALDC, though more importantly she brings their mothers in to torment Kira for the drama. Along with Jess' continued aggressive campaign to get JoJo and official spot on the team, the OG moms are becoming increasingly fed up with the state of LA. This is their last week in town before venturing off for competitions, and they can't help but feel all Abby has done is continue to elevate Maddie for bigger opportunities.
To make some moves of their own the moms and girls agree to audition for a MattyBRaps music video (does anyone else remember MattyB?). The moms hash it out with Jess as they feel JoJo wasn't really invited to audition per their understanding of the casting call, but JoJo puts in the time and effort anyways. Though it's pretty obvious the producers just want Mackenzie for that name brand recognition, Abby unfortunately doesn't want Mackenzie to participate unless MattyB's dad give MackZ some song credit.
Will Abby manage to sabotage the rest of the ALDC's first genuine LA job opportunity?
Quotes
- “I'm always very appreciative that my job is I get to sit and chat with you and then I get to meet new and exciting people. Because we could be digging a ditch... and I don't wanna dig a ditch. I'm getting elderly! I'm not digging nothing." (07:10-07:29 | Christi & Kelly)
- “Oh my god you made me look at that? That's disgusting! I know, you're right... you're welcome!" (52:48-52:53 | Christi & Kelly)
- “Look at Jess' pants now! Wow, she likes ugly pants! Look at that outfit, it's terrible!" (1:04:45-1:04:52 | Christi & Kelly)
- “Calm down MattyB's Dad. Calm down." (1:06:04-1:06:06 | Christi)
