"The good news is I'm a giant twat in this episode. You didn't look very happy."That's right bitches, we're back! Kelly is on her road to recovery (no fun at all if you ask us), and we're back with a full breakdown of "Chloe Gets Revenge". This week Abby is pitting the ALDC's two teams against each other once again, but she's switching up the formula. Chloe is transferred to the Select Team and the OG's gain Jade. But Abby of course has no intention of letting Chloe win and steal the limelight from Maddie, and it starts to become clear to the Select Team for the first time that maybe Abby doesn't have their best interests at heart. This becomes even more apparent int he solo categories where Ava gets saddled with an unruly prop that tanks any possibility of her competing fairly with Maddie. To further boost Maddie's profile, Abby brings on Rachel sage to present Maddie with a new original song written specifically for her... except it wasn't written for her as that's just another classic lie to help juice Abby's ego. But will all this pay off for Abby, or will the Select Team prevail for a third week... and actually should it even matter to Abby as long as she has a winning team? Quotes“I was getting a sponge bath at 3:30 in the morning! I looked at this bitch and I'm like, you know what? You don't know me very well. Like I could go a week without taking a shower and not give a shit, and you're in here at three in the morning! Come back and lets talk at eleven." (05:01-05:20 | Kelly)“You edit me to be your asshole Lifetime.” (17:49-17:51 | Christi)“Christy was there the entire time. They edited her out, her and Sarah." (20:06-20:11 | Christi)“I just feel like if I was a dance teacher, it would be a cold day in hell before I would be going on national television and saying, 'Hey my studio! I'll teach your kids, but I'm going to take my kid to go learn from Abby Lee Miller!'"

For a Good Time Call... Abby?
"Abby's like, 'I'm just exhausted from dealing with moms, problems, and psychos. I'm thinking you and me are the psychos.'" jokes Kelly, who can't help but take a few strays even when she isn't there anymore!It's the second half of "Abby-phobic" and the ALDC is coming face to face with Studio Bleu at Imagine National Dance Challenge. Jade and Chloe prep their solos, but Abby and Gia have fallen behind on giving Chloe the rest of her choreography. Ontop of that, Chloe accidentally smacks Maddie, sending Abby into a tizzy and putting Christi on the defensive. Lauree is also mad with Abby as she believes Jade is being set-up to fail and begins to question their involvement on the team.Studio Bleu proves to be a force to be reckoned with, as it becomes increasingly clear the ALDC might simply be a little too young to stand a chance in the teen division. But the moms can't help but wonder if Abby hadn't chickened out at the possibility of Maddie losing, if their original group dance might have had a shot at winning. But do the girls' dances hold up to 11 years later? Did their talents deserve more recognition?Quotes“I just wanted to point out that Lauree was trying to like, talk s**t on you! Oh yay, luck me." (18:43-18:50 | Christi & Kelly)“I'd much rather fight as like a dance teacher and a colleague than as a crazy mom whose always told they don't know anything.” (25:46-25:52 | Christi)“I live in fear of what I might post online when I'm out." (42:29-42:33 | Christi)“It's really hard to argue with people you don't have a stake in."

The I Don’t Know Category
"It is Season 4 Episode 24, and it's called Abby-phobic. Hhhhmmmm, I'm Abby-phobic." remarks Christi, and considering the raw deal Chloe gets this week that Abby-phobia is going to be out in full force soon enough.This week the girls are set to attend Imagine National Dance Challenge, a competition primarily set-up to avoid having the ALDC at the standard Star dance Alliance Competitions. This does however mean the ALDC is set to face off against Studio Bleu, Abby's worst nightmare. She panics and throws out the current group dance, convinced they're going to lose no matter what and so as to not waste another competition's sure-fire winning dance. Instead, Abby begins to focus on the pre-teen categories so as to avoid competing with Studio Bleu all-together. But will the team have time to figure out a new routine in time for competition?Abby is also intent on propping up Maddie whenever possible as the Chandelier coverage has been heating up. In case Maddie needs to fly to LA at a moments notice, Jade from the Select Team is brought in as a temporary team member and Mackenzie is benched to age up the group overall.. Loree, Jade's mom, is worried over Abby's handling of the group routine. Christi is also annoyed that due to Abby's fear of Studio Bleu, Chloe will be forced to compete with Jade in solos despite their age difference.Quotes“I can't believe they gave you such an important piece of information. I know! They obviously didn't know who I was." (03:06-03:14 | Christi & Kelly)“That's a good idea. Huh, see I'm smart in some ways. Who the f**k needs books! I know what to do with my alcohol!” (14:16-14:30 | Christi & Kelly)“Everyone who asks if these competitions were fake: No they weren't fake, nobody was there. That's why we won all the time!" (29:54-30:00 | Christi)“I don't want to be in Studio A. If you gave me a $5,000 bonus to go sit in Studio A I would still be annoyed about it."
