"This is so giving like hostage situation where you try to send a note out screaming for help if you've been kidnapped." You would act like that too if your dance teacher was still holding a grudge against you for doing something completely innocuous. Yes the Holly and Nia punishment train is still running at top speed, though no one is safe from Abby's cruelty this week as she attempts to both gaslight the moms and throw a fit over the Candy Apples stellar performance.

The ALDC arrives in Ohio and not 10 seconds into their entry into Candy Apples territory does Cathy and her moms come out swinging, and they're bringing out the big guns this time. It turns out while Kira had been away from the team, she texted Cathy to insult the ALDC and hype up Kalani, which not only embarrasses all the moms, but Abby acts as though it were no big deal for double the damage. Kira even tries to claim the email was about production and not the team... lol sure Jan. If that weren't enough to stress the already pressed upon team, Abby has set her team up for failure once again with weak choreography and some shockingly bad costume choices, a rare Abby miss there.

But that's nothing compared to some of the cringiest Abby mudslinging yet after a post-show Production stunt blows up as expected and Abby shouts out stuff so callous and shocking, it's a miracle it actual made the final cut of the episode. Does that mean Abby approved of it and stood by her words? Does that actually make it worse in a way? Is this possibly up there for worst Dance Mom's storyline yet!? Probably!!!

Quotes
“So I did my split and I can't belie I could stand up after that. I can't believe you did the splits in that short skirt! " (03:37-03:45 | Kelly & Christi)
"We love a pampered cooter." (20:06-20:08 | Christi)
“Abby is yelling at the girls while running the dance, because it's another day in paradise." (29:00-29:04 | Christi)
“[Due to a technicality] when Kendall's music video came out it surpassed Bad Blood by Taylor Swift... so Jill was tweeting Taylor that she hopes there's no bad blood between them. You're kidding me! Oh my god. Taylor Swift had to be laughing her ass off. I doubt Taylor Swift saw Dance Mom Jill's tweet." (1:37:09-1:37:30 | Christi & Kelly)

"The words Mature and Abby have been used twice and we're still in scene one," says Christi with about the level of disbelief that statement is owed. But it's an equal offender week as even Cathy is getting in on the nastiness.

This episode is called "Mackenzie's Time to Shine" and that's only because the ALDC is short a Maddie this week as she's performing with Sia on SNL. Abby decides it's time to move onto her second favorite Ziegler child and gives Mackenzie a solo. As if to emphasize put her in her place, Abby acts as if Mackenzie has no identity outside of Mack Z... like the identity you gave her? Regardless Abby's insults and Maddie comparisons start to impact Mackenzie's performance during rehearsal. Meanwhile JoJo gets her own solo and the group gets a Spice Girls tribute.

Over at Candy Apples Cathy hasn't taken her recent loss to Abby very well and decides to assemble her best dancers, because this week the competition is in Ohio and Cathy is not about to let Abby beat her on her own turf. Cathy is so excited about her line-up she can't help but mock the ALDC girls, putting down Nia and dismissing JoJo as a nobody with no following (lol). But will Cathy be able to wrangle her moms together when it turns out one of the m is secretly talking to Abby?

Quotes
“You know what's so funny? Anytime Gianna is around, Jill is the only one who calls her G. I always called her Bitch." (15:49-15:58 | Christi & Kelly)
"Abby ends rehearsal with a few words of encouragement. Is Abby ever encouraging?" (37:01-37:06 | Kelly)
“Abby calls her out for looking like a little girl when she dances... she is a little girl!" (53:07-53:12 | Christi)
“What in the actual F is happening? [Abby] is so nuts, and you guys are always like oh it's so crazy. No, you have no idea! It was like constantly being gaslit. You're like what!? How did we get here!? What are we talking about?!?!" (59:32-59:50 | Christi)

"Ew I agree with Abby. Everyone get your ice skates on because we're going to hell!" First they're complimenting Abby's hair, now they're agreeing with her on things?!? Could this possibly be a major turning point for Dance Moms... lol no. If anything it's probably only going to get worse from here, and our Bitches are starting to feel it. At least we have Bitch #3 from Shein (formerly Bitch #2 from Temu) Dr. Intern Matt on deck once again to offer some insights that even shocks Christi and Kelly!

As the second half of "Abby's Trash, Cathy's Treasure" gets underway, Melissa is still dodging questions about Sia's Elastic Heart music video. The production itself is eager to lean into the drama, editing the show so it seems like Maddie overhears Candy Apples bringing up the controversy. The production is really starting to push on Cathy's nerves, how much more will she take?

And unfortunately for Christi the Clue performance might not have more to offer outside of some impressive Bow-ography (imagine Christi doing Madeline Kahn's flames on the side of my face monologue if you want to picture how this development was taken).

Quotes
“Kimi went around calling you Tits. She did, I hate her! Yeah, she'd ask where's Tits? and everyone knew who she was talking about." (02:07-02:16 | Christi & Kelly)
"Christi and Kelly, professional fluffers." (13:12-13:14 | Christi)
“Cross-pollinating. See! You know that word! I know lots of things you people don't know!" (19:10-19:17 | Christi & Kelly)
“I assumed she wasn't picked for Abby's team because her mom is kinda... Normal?" (27:21-27:25 | Matt & Christi)
