Even though the moms agree the team needs Kalani, Abby absolutely REFUSES to put her in the group dance and says she needs to learn a lesson for leaving. That leaves Kira trying to get Kalani back in Abby’s good graces, the girls rehearsing a risky jail-yard-inspired group number, and Abby eventually storming out of rehearsal all over again. Elswhere, Abby kicks off her nationals solo battle by putting Kendall and JoJo head-to-head. Kendall gets a contemporary solo, JoJo gets a Miley Cyrus-inspired routine, and one forgotten solo turns into a surprisingly emotional moment. Plus, Jeanette officially rebrands her team as BDA and gives the ALDC real competition heading into nationals. Grab your tickets to our LIVE TOUR here: x1entertainment.com/bttb See you in 2026!!
