The girls are given guns and instructed to "blow the competition away." Literal murder instructions or fun wordplay? We can never be sure with Abby Lee Miller. Jill continues to offer unhinged gifts in hopes of winning Abby's favor, Paige bears the brunt of Abby's wrath, and Maddie fights her way back to the top of the pyramid. Join us, won't you?

Our girls find themselves in Texas when Dance Explosion is cancelled at the last minute, and Jill couldn't be more thrilled for a chance to wear her best cowboy hat. Nia has a panic attack, Maddie's life flashes before her eyes, and Christi proves herself to be a costume designer extraordinaire (despite Abby's doubts). Join us, won't you?

Jill is determined to see her little Kendall get special treatment, and she'll stop at nothing. Brooke returns to reclaim her spot, Christi and Melissa have it out at Kelly's wine and cheese night, Mack's on a winning streak, and Gia and Abby get couples massages. It's getting wild and wacky in here. Join us, won't you?

Without a lick of self-awareness to be seen, Abby choreographs a dance about bullying -- or, as she calls it, an art piece. Jill beefs with a fourteen year old as Peyton and Kendall go head to head for that last Abby Lee sweatsuit. Holly takes a stand, Paige is forgotten again, Maddie does another lyrical routine and Brooke reports back from the Newlonsburg cheer squad. Join us, won't you?

Ready? Ok! All eyes are on the Newlonsburg cheer squad this week as Brooke grapples with the biggest decision of her life: To dance or to cheer? She bails on our girls to go shake her pom poms for some boy to go to college for free (good for her!) and Abby wants to skin her alive. Meanwhile the moms and the ALDC head to New Jersey where Cathy is waiting for them. Can their provocative, wondrous dance about birth beat Cathy's team of 45 year olds? And will this finally be the week that Chloe beats Maddie in head-to-head solos? We're on the edge of our seats! Join us, won't you?

We're on Cathy's home turf, where she's cooked up a plan for vengeance. Does that plan involve cheating? Perhaps. All's fair in dance and war. Vivi gets a career-threatening injury, Abby puts all her apples in Brooke's basket, we hear the word "snood" about 400 times, and Kendall is still very much in probation, much to Jill's dismay. Join us, won't you?

Fresh off a national championship and with the fame of a music video threatening to go to our heads, we waste no time getting into the drama in the first episode of season 2. Abby holds auditions for Vivi's replacement, we meet our newest dancer/mom duo, the group dance is a weird space barbie concept, and we learn that cute still works in the Carolinas. Join us, won't you?

Last week might have been about inner beauty, but this week it all comes down to the look. Anyone can make it in Hollywood if they look like Ted Danson's daughter's younger sister! The girls get their big break in a MAJOR music video, Christi hires Brad Pitt's acting coach, everyone gets a Kesha-inspired makeover, and fedoras abound. Will Chloe finally get her chance in the ~sun~? Join us to find out.
