In the upcoming episode of "Dance Moms" Season 5, Team Abby and Team Cathy are pulling out all the stops to win the competition. However, with Maddie Ziegler away, will Team Abby be able to pull out a win?
There is definitely pressure on the shoulders of the young dancers under Team Abby. Maddie is away due to a guest dancing stint on "Saturday Night Live." Coach Abby Lee has planned a Spice Girls kind of performance for the girls and it appears like Maddie's sister Mackenzie will be taking charge.
In the preview for Episode 13, Abby tells the team "If you guys don't win without Maddie, you know what that says to the whole world." While that sounds like putting too much pressure on the kids, it is true. This is the perfect time for the other girls to dance away from Maddie's shadow and prove to the world that they got what it takes too.
In Lifetime's official synopsis, it said "With her sister gone, Mackenzie has the chance to remind everyone she is more than just Maddie's little sister. Up against Cathy's new premium Candy Apples team, Abby decides to push the envelope with a sassy and funky routine as Cathy is still reeling from their loss the week before. Will this risky routine be enough to beat Cathy again?"
Team Cathy is more determined than ever to snatch a win under Abby's nose. In the last episode, Cathy' team failed in their attempt again, but this time, she's making sure they take home the crown.
"Cathy is out for blood. She hasn't beaten us in two years so my kids better be on their A-game...If there's one thing I hate more than coming in second, it's coming in second to the rotten Apples," said Abby.
What does Cathy have to say? "Maddie is not going to be there this weekend. Let's now compete apples to apples."
"Dance Moms" Season 5 Episode 13 will air March 31 on Lifetime.
