Come Tuesday night, it is going to be another intense episode in "Dance Moms" Season 5. The competition in Pittsburg is far from over, but Coach Abby is facing a new crisis, only two girls were present for the competition.
In Episode 18 titled "Showdown in Pittsburg Part 2," Abby has to take huge risks as she makes adjustments on the girls' solos. The official synopsis goes:
"In their hometown of Pittsburgh, PA, the ALDC embarks on their final competition before their big official move to Los Angeles. But when only two girls show up to compete, chaos takes over and tempers flare. Cathy and Jeanette bring top notch routines to try and take the ALDC down, but without a full team, the threat from ALDC's rivals takes a back seat to the risk of disqualification."
The two girls who were there were Jojo and Nia, who just had her music video released last episode. Coach Abby didn't support Nia's video at all, but this week, she is really hoping that Nia will perform well in her solo.
"When opportunity knocks, you have to be ready. That's part of your training at the Abby Lee Dance Company," Abby said in the preview. Knowing that Kendall and Connie won't be there, Abby assigned Nia to take the place of Connie and Jojo to take the place of Kendall. The moms are worried because the girls are going against their toughest rivals to date and the news was very sudden.
Nia and Jojo accepted the challenge without any complaints. But when they start practicing their solos, Cathy entered the room and said a few words to Abby saying that she finally gave Nia a chance. Cathy exchanged a few words with the other moms asking Cathy to leave and respect Nia as she was practicing. When Cathy left, Holly was caught smiling, maybe realizing that Cathy was right.
