With the stress of Abby's legal woes looming overhead, she reaches her limit and kicks the girls out of her studio. The moms contact Debbie Allen, who graciously offers her studio so the girls can rehearse for their upcoming Arizona competition. Kira is finally back with the team and Ashlee is ready for a fight.

Maddie has returned from shooting her movie and is back on the team for good, but to everyone's surprise, Abby doesn't seem happy to see her #1 dancer. The moms question if Abby is jealous of Maddie's fame and Ashlee uses this to her advantage in hopes that Abby will spend more time grooming Brynn to be the next big star.
