Empty Chair, Do a Solo

"I feel like we're consistent in the mocking of Jill." Christi might be talking about her outfits, but "Showdown in Pittsburgh, Part 2" doesn't do Jill any favors when it comes to giving her plenty of mockable moments as well. I mean is it already week three of Jill trying to convince Holly she should be grateful for what Abby does for Nia? Like WHILE Abby is actively trying to sabotage Nia at every conceivable turn? Yeah it's not one of Jill's better looks for sure.

In a rare feat for Dance Moms there's no Pyramid this week because for some reason (we still can't quite figure out why) Production decided to split this week into a two parter (for real we had less notes for this episode than we often do when we only cover half an episode, it's weird). But there's still plenty of drama abound as most of the ALDC moms show up to their last local competition sans daughters... and you kind of need them present to compete or the group can't perform! Outside of Nia and JoJo all the girls are still at JUMP, which Abby and the moms feel is very important for their careers unlike the hit TV show they're supposed to be filming. Abby assigns Nia and JoJo solos in case the rest of the team in a no show when it's their turn to perform. Nia will preform Never Knew once more and JoJo is instructed to freestyle on-stage (which we highly doubt as JoJo upstaging Nia would be to tempting for Abby to leave to chance).

The Candy Apples and Broadway Dance Academy soon crash the party to stir up the pot. Of course Jill doesn't take kindly to Cathy's interventions, but Cathy makes some great points about how Abbys been treating Nia, which Holly confirms. Jill doesn't like Holly picking sides with her enemy and starts beating the "You need to respect what Abby does for you" drum once again, but Holly points out Nia only gets chances when no one else is there to preoccupy Abby's attention. Tensions continue to simmer as the competition gets underway, but will the rest of the ALDC show up in time to snatch victory for the Candy Apples and quell a potential Abby blow-up? Or is a blow-up inevitable if Jill and Cathy are in the same room together for longer that two minutes?

Quotes

• “I thought about Abby saying this video is supposed to represent Nia's life and this is not Nia... is Kendall in the army? Did I miss that part of her life?" (25:19-25:33 | Christi)
• "I kinda love that. Whoever did that in production, how diabolical of you." (28:19-28:23 | Christi)
• “Thank God Abby wasn't invited [to Brooke's wedding]. Thank god, she would have been yelling at Josh, 'GET YOUR HANDS AWAY FROM YOUR CROTCH!' during the middle of the ceremony.'" (37:21-37:29 | Kelly & Christi)
• “You should talk about those crows feet. How about those jowls that jiggle every time you open your mouth? And then Abby says don't talk about my boobs? And she calls me a dingbat? I at least know what jowls are!" (47:28-47:43 | Christi & Kelly)
