After weeks of Abby questioning Nia’s focus, side-eyeing her music career, and acting like every opportunity outside the ALDC is a problem, Nia walks into competition and does exactly what she was told to do. She beats Kalani. But instead of giving Nia the moment she earned, Abby immediately starts acting like the result does not count and decides Kalani is still the safer choice for nationals. Christi and Kelly break down why this moment says everything about Abby’s double standards, Holly’s frustration, and Nia having to prove herself twice as hard just to get half the credit. Plus, the ALDC faces off against MDP, the group dance props start falling apart, and the moment a rival mom says the one thing nobody on Dance Moms was supposed to say out loud.
