"Yep, Abby was barking in the audience. And that's one of those moments were I'm like, I live in the Twilight Zone." Unfortunately for Christi she lives on Earth, and unfortunately for you that cringe-inducing moment didn't make the final cut of "3 Soloists, One Star". Thankfully the producers notes have pulled through once again and preserved this little barking episode for us!Something unfortunately not on the cutting room floor is Christy, though not for long! Sarah H doesn't receive a costume because she wasn't initially participating in the group dance, but Abby says they've already ordered one for her and it's on the way. But Christy takes issue with this and takes Abby to task for not having a costume ready. The consequences are swift and Sarah H is dropped form the group number. She'll be allowed to rejoin the group if she attend the competition without her mother, but Christy is not prepared to let that happen.Meanwhile the soloists are prepped and ready to. Chloe and Kendall are given a chance to shine for once, Kendall reaping the benefits of her Maddie choreography. Meanwhile Nia is still a dog! Will Nia be able to overcome her canine predicament? Tune-in to find out!Quotes“We did it, but again we did it in a different way. Our trash was justifiable trash!" (16:27-16:32 | Christi)“If you read the rules at a dance competition, almost all of them, you are not allowed to say what studio you are from in your costuming.” (25:04-25:12 | Christi)“Matt is texting me about Mohan's chicken wings. He's eating Mohan's chicken wings right now! He's like I love these chicken wings! Yes Matt, we know." (28:26-28:33 | Christi)“The moms on Dance Moms are annoying as f**K. They act like teenage girls, but worse. Awe, thanks!"

Barking Mad
"Should we have everybody drink every time someone says the word Maddie in this episode? Cause it's a lot!" The funny thing is Maddie isn't even present for most of the first half of "3 Soloists, One Star", but it's Maddie's world and we're just living in it. Maddie is away in Los Angeles, reaping the rewards of her newfound additional fame thank to the Sia music video. In the meantime Abby is forced to offer someone else the usual Maddie solo, and Kendall wins out as the most likely candidate. However to appear fair Abby spreads the wealth by offering more solos than usual, but is it really fair if she intentionally gives the other girls losing routines?What marks a losing routine? Well how about giving Nia a solo and having her dress and bark like a dog in the most demeaning way possible? That sounds like a recipe for disaster, and if you're Holly then it sounds even worse because there's no circumstance in which Abby is not going to make poor Nia bark.Quotes“It always has to make it seem like we're being slugs. Yes. Cause we are, we're her slugs." (17:43-17:49 | Christi & Kelly)“Pyramid is only two rows this week because I belive Abby refused to have anybody at the top if it couldn't have been Maddie.” (22:11-22:17 | Christi)“This is a pick-up from my very last day of filming." (56:00-56:03 | Christi)“We're not crazy! I mean we're crazy but for different reasons!"

More Sloppy Seconds
"Wouldn't we all like tot ell her to shut up? I'd like to tell her to shut up!" says Kelly of Christy, who only a few episodes in is already starting to test Kelly's patience. But just about everyone else is testing the ALDC's patience on the second half of "Kiss or Get Off the Pot", mostly Abby for continuing to make everyone uncomfortable.It's the day of competition and the girls are primed to steal the show. Cathy's team might have the better dance, but at In10city the ALDC is always favored regardless. So Abby's focus falls primarily on Maddie and Gino's duet, paying extra attention they nail their kiss. It's clear Maddie is still uncomfortable with being asked to kiss Gino, yet somehow Abby manages to make it even more uncomfortable somehow! Christy however is preoccupied with fighting with Mickey over Gino's place on the team.Tune-in as well this week to hear some juicy behind the scenes insults that didn't make the final cut of the episode!Quotes“Now I can do all kinds of crazy s***t because I won't pee myself!" (04:34-4:37 | Kelly)“Our kids get in trouble for everything and she cried over a meatball sub!"” (13:38-13:42 | Christi)“Oh my god drink! There's not a headband to be seen but drink!" (37:22-37:26 | Christi)“The sandwich is a felony, I'm sorry!"

The Sandwich Incident
"It was the most unhinged 15 minutes I've ever witnessed in my life," recounts Christi in reference to "The Sandwich Incident". But the incident happened entirely off-screen! It's one of Christi's most cherished Dance Moms memories, one she has thought about monthly for over a decade! So on the first half of "Kiss or Get Off the Pot", come for Abby's insistence of making children do things they're uncomfortable with, stay for a classic behind the scenes Abby meltdown.The Select team is out this week so the production doesn't have to pay them, but Sarah H and Christy stick around to claim the top spot on the Pyramid. The rest of the placements seem arbitrary at best, Abby is mostly upset that the girls cried after coming in second. The moms point out their attitude probably had more to do with their teacher making a separate team to upstage them after they were on a long win streak.Abby announces they're going to be going head to head once again with Cathy at In10city Dance in Ohio. To spite Cathy she enlists the help of Gino, one of Cathy's former dancers, to perform a duet with Maddie. While the pairing was obviously designed with Maddie, Abby holds auditions for the duet to give the appearance of fairness, but ends up just insulting most of the girls until she arrives at Maddie anyways. Maddie does not like that Abby is insisting she kiss Gino for the performance as it'll be her first kiss, but Abby seems dead set on making it happen for some reason.The other thing Abby is dead set on is making it clear she was on Dancing with the Stars. Not only does she keep bringing it up, but she even themes the group dance around it! Quotes“Everyone was cracking up that you said these were all the books you read. I lied! I lied!" (01:32-1:43 | Christi & Kelly)“That was Kelly's favorite thing about Candy Apples. They would say Candy Apples and Kelly's eyes would light up. She'd go, 'Can we get beef Jerky?!'” (09:59-10:06 | Christi)“I'm so disappointed that 2012 Christi didn't say sloppy seconds. I need to go back and tell Abby she was picking up Cathy's sloppy seconds. That was a golden opportunity to use those words." (24:36-24:46 | Christi)“The children knew that Abby was crying over the sandwich."
