Oh my god, you guys. I’m gonna hear Jill’s voice in my grave. She did not shut up this entire episode!
Previously: Peyton showed up to replace Brooke; Kendall took Paige’s place in the trio; Maddie won with her solo but Chloe did not (allegedly); Peyton said she did better than everyone.
Brooke meets Jabby for lunch and asks if she can come back to dance. Jab says Brooke let the team down and broke her heart, but if she promises to prove herself, she can come back. Brooke is super happy (for Brooke) and says she will never let the team down again.
Kendall is finally off probation.
Pyramid: Mackenzie is last, but she did well in her last solo. Nia’s next because her mom screwed her over. Paige doesn’t have anything to be judged on since she’s barely been on the show this season. Kendall is off probation but she needs to fix various issues. Second row is Maddie and Chloe.
It’s time to reveal the top of the pyramid and… it’s not Peyton, it’s Brooke! Ha ha. Leslie and Jill are THRILLED. Peyton is out and Brooke is in!
This week they will go to Starbound in Long Island, NY. Brooke and Mackenzie will do solos and the group number will represent the “whole world of cheerleading tumbling down.”
Jill starts talking up in the booth and doesn’t stop until the end of the episode. Kelly has a party and Christi berates Melissa and Jill until they both leave. This creates a bond between them and Melissa gives Jill some pointers on how to win Jabby’s favor. This eventually leads to Jabby naked and covered in oil. I dare you to think about that and not have nightmares.
The moms all fight in the dressing room. Mackenzie wins for her solo but Brooke only comes in second. The group number comes in second and Jabby says that means they are the first losers. The moms fight some more and Jabby says she’s not afraid to get rid of someone to make the group more cohesive. By the way, Jill is still talking.
Next week: My DVR crapped out, but it looks like something gets canceled (a competition?) and Maddie gets hurt? I will have more details in the recap, which will be up in the next couple of days. If you can’t wait, check out last week’s episode here.
Thanks for reading!

A little off topic:
The We channel is showing “Little Miss Perfect” right now. Yikes!
thanks for the tight recap! Hopefully lifetime won’t make us wait until Saturday again!!
In the previews for next week it sounded like the guy on the phone was saying something about an explosion and then Jabby was saying she had to find somewhere for the some girls to stay (possible candle stick park transformer explosion)?
Jabby did not say that second place was “first loser.” She said “BIGGEST Loser.” Draw your own conclusions for the real recap.
Was it just me or did Abby seem kind of…..nice this episode? She was super sweet to Brooke at lunch, to Mac at rehearsal, and basically (somewhat calmly) told the moms that the girls do not need to hear their moms be cray cray. I’m thinking invasion of the body snatchers
@ Gigi: more like someone is slipping her some happy pills.
She did look relieved to have Brooke back (no other way she would treat a girl coming back with her tail between her legs to the top of the pyramid otherwise).
WHAT IS WITH JABBY’S VOICE?!? It annoys the crap out of me.
For a second, when I saw the candles in the darkened room and the outline of the massuer, I thought Jill had hired strippers or prostitutes. Maybe next episode.
I am surprised that when Jabby brought up looking for a husband on a previous episode, that all the women who can’t stand her didn’t jump on the bash Jabby wagon. Like asking her in a fake, gentle, sympathetic voice, “Well, have you ever been out with a man before, I mean other than your father?” and, “Most men aren’t attracted to fat women, maybe if you lost some weight, more guys would be interested in you.” I was praying for that one. And of course Jabby will respond that “all men love her, just ask her daddy, it’s just that I don’t have time for a boyfriend…”, then I would say (yes, I am imagining myself in this scenario), “Oh, well if he doesn’t have to spend any time with you, then maybe we might find someone.” Followed by, “Hey Holly, didn’t you say that the janitor at your school was single and looking?” and then Holly would say, “That’s right! Jim-Bob can only see out of one eye and is partially deaf in his right ear, so you may have a shot Abby! The way he talks reminds me of you, but we should set up a date quickly; you need to snatch him up soon because I am firing him next week for being such an asshole. Does that sound good to you?” And then while Jabby–the queen of not being able to take what she dishes out, splutters at Holly in shock, Holly should say, all innocent like, “He is black, but you don’t have a problem with that, right Abby?” While Christie and Kelly cackle in the background. End Scene.
Does anyone else get sick of hearing everyone yap about the PYRAMID on this show?? I swear if I hear that word one more time, I’ll go nuts. If I were a parent there, I’d just want to know that my child was getting good dance instruction and doing well in the competitions. Who gives a crap about some stupid pyramid that Abby makes up? The only one who seems to feel that way is Holly who usually rolls her eyes when Abby is talking about it.
And why doesn’t Jill shut up and let Kendall’s dancing do the talking? If she’s good enough, she’ll get her chances.
@Gigi – she did seem kind of nice, except for how she led everyone to believe that Peyton would be on top of the stupid pyramid, then surprised everyone w/ Brooke’s pic. Granted, PeyTon is a snot, but she could have told her privately that she was out of the group.
New ep was not to Hulu or Lifetime.com this morning. Dammit. I was having a rough morning and was looking forward to it. I guess I might have to wait till Sat again. Boo.
Why does Jabby insist on having the moms there if she doesn’t want them to have an opinion or talk? Are they there just to watch “Her Greatness”? It seems like an e-mail or a beginning of the week newsletter would do the trick. That way the moms don’t spend a lot of time together and bitch and then don’t watch Abby and see her bullying their kids, and then bitch some more. It doesn’t make sense. And for someone who is so “committed to her job” and would never go into one of their places of work and tell them how to do their jobs, she certainly is opinionated about Holly’s career choices.
Abby’s relationship with her mom interests me. This woman did not spring up out of nowhere. What is her childhood trauma?
P.S. I have nothing against large women, I just don’t like Jabby. It is the way she insists on physical and behavioral perfection from these kids, while modeling no sense of discipline herself–in either her actions (tone, behavior, attitude) or her figure.
Everyone always said they loved Abby’s mom. She was nice. I think Abby has issues with the fact that she was never a dancer herself. She was an amazing choreographer, but was always too big to dance and not great at it. I saw a picture of her when she was young and she was bigger than too. Not as big as she is now, but still chubby.
I watched the shorter videos on lifetime they had up. I have to say I kinda side with Leslie about its bull to allow a dancer back after they abandoned you for cheerleading and left right before a competition. Especially if you kick out another girl that did not abandon them. I know what that feels like. When I was a dancer the studio owner had her favorites too or at least her daughter had her favorites and they were always welcomed back no matter how many times they left, while the ones of us who were always loyal and always there, were just brushed aside. It sucked. Prodigal son and all that.
Its cold and wrong. Peyton is not good for that group, but it sucks that Brooke was just let back in after what she did. I would have been pissed too.
I liked the way Jill conveniently forgot Kendall’s trio last week and her solo from episode 1(?). Where does she get her entitlement issues? What has Kendall done to warrant a solo or a featured part, she’s only been dancing at the studio for like a month. And why does she insist on wearing those tacky vests and jackets?
I have more to say, but I’ll wait until the full recap.
@sagittariuskim – I was thinking the same thing! Poor Paige hasn’t had anything this season, and Kendall got a solo & replaced Paige in the trio! What the heck is Jill yammering about.
I feel bad for Peyton, because I think Abby should have spoken to her separately. But Abby’s right – Peyton was on probation, she didn’t look right with the team, AND she was mouthy at the competition. I’d cut her, too, quite frankly.
I loved this episode. I loved that we got to see the *somewhat* rational side of Abby, and see her showing the girls some love, rather than constantly going after them!
@Shana – I’m pretty sure her voice is like that because she strains her vocal cords by yelling around the clock. Annoys the crap out of me, too, though!
Yay Mackenzie getting some love this episode! She’s so adorable, it’s nice to see Abby was so nice to her.
It was wrong of her to tell Peyton she was off the way that she did, though. Should have told her privately, or at the beginning instead of leading her to believe she was on the top of the pyramid. I had a feeling it’d be Brooke, though. Even last week, when we were shown that there’d be a “shocking” top- I immediately thought it’d be Brooke. I’m glad she’s back! She fits in much better with the team than Peyton did.
Ugh, I can’t wait until if/when Jill is gone. Kendall’s cute, and I don’t think they’ve really shown enough of her dancing for me to get a true opinion about it, but her mom needs to go. And Abby is right- the parents don’t need to be fighting with Abby or each other in front of the girls right before they go on to compete.
Mackenzie is an amazing dancer. She must have been holding back in that routine with Vivi. How long til we have a Makenzie – Vivi showdown?
I want to know how much is choreographed? I don’t get 13 year old Brook going out for a high school cheer team? And then coming back after a week? And they gotta be telling Jill to fill the crazy void Cathy left when she went back to Crappy Apples. The drama just seems over the top. Like who fills an empty dance studio with a couple massage tables?
Meant to say scripted not choreographed.
@stagemom – She could be a 13-year old freshman, I was. If her birthday is mid-year, she’d graduate at 17 – not that unusual. Or they could have 8th graders try-out for the upcoming year, but I did think they said she was in High school, so she prabably just started kdg early.
Yes, I started High School at the age of 13. This being 5 years old BEFORE Kindergarten is fairly new, around here, it didn’t start until the 90′s. We could start school at any age as long as we could keep up. 1st grade we had a few 4 year olds. Shoot I didn’t even go to Kindergarten.
@Stagemom, half of me loves this show more than life itself and the other half fears that it’s totally scripted. Why was there absolutely no backstory on why Brooke wanted to come back to dance and why wasn’t Kelly totally freaking out about it? What happened to cheerleading? In one week it didn’t work out? Jill and Leslie were definitely brought in by the producers. And Abby has to be nicer to those girls than we see her being or they wouldn’t all still cry when she’s mean. They’d either be used to it or QUIT.
A little google stalking http://brookehyland.com/ she is currently in 8th grade. Not sure when they shot that episode but I doubt the high school has had try outs yet. The whole thing just seemed strange to me.
I think the cheerleading thing was staged. I think I remember someone saying they go to that high school and Brooke was not at that school yet and it was staged….
I also would LOVE a Mackenzie and Vivi showdown!!! We know who would win but still it would be funny to see Crazy Cathy get pissed when she loses!
Does anyone else think that Jill looks exactly like Dr. Phil’s wife? Maybe they had the same plastic surgeon?
Well Vivi is an amazing dancer don’t you know. It takes so much skill to skip between a bunch of gargantuan mermaids.
I dont know who did Jill’s plastic surgery, but I hope she sued the crap of out the Doc
@ Addie: YES!! She looks like Robin, Dr. Phil’s wife–thanks, I couldn’t place why she looked familiar.
@ Jabby: Yes, you may be Abby Lee Miller, blah blah blah, but the show is called ‘Dance Moms’, not the Abby Lee Miller show. Of course they are going to talk if they want to be on camera. The show isn’t geared for us to see what a fabulous teacher you are.
Did anyone notice something strange about Vivi’s voice when she spoke a couple of episode’s ago? She mumbled her words and was very hard to understand. It sounded like some type of speech impediment. Poor girl.
@April – yah, it was me. She never cheered. She’s not old enough to be on the high school team, lol. It was all a set up for the show. They brought the camera crew to one football game to get footage of her “cheering”, but it was only for a couple minutes!! I heard they burned her pom poms at the dance studio. I haven’t watched this week so i don’t know if that happened on this episode or not.
Does anyone know why Maddie and McKenzie(and their mom) aren’t in opening credits?
@Addie, I wonder that every week.
@Addie/Crissy Brown – they are, but they FLY by. Right before the “Abby” shot, you see two girls, and a mom throw her hands up – that’s Melissa & girls (I assume).
I’d like to know why Crazy Cathy and Vivi are still there!
