    "Holly hopes this trip will be better. I bet Holl, cause last time your trip sucked a big of dicks." Very eloquently put by Christi, but how else would you describe Holly's LA experience? Well you're going to need to find some even filthier language because as the ALDC returns to the City of Stars, it's only going to get worse.

    "Hollywood, Round 2" isn't all that dissimilar to round one. The moms are focused on getting their girls work, and Abby is determined to put up roadblocks against those who don't fall in line with her vision of LA... oh I'm sorry according to Abby this time it's all about "coming together" as one group. Ignoring the fact they already are inherently together, Abby certainly doesn't make much of an effort to unify everyone.

    Jill wants Abby to manage Kendall's music career, but Abby's contract demands are fairly steep and don't leave Jill feeling too optimistic. Still Kendall at least is getting some Abby attention and that's enough for Jill at this point. Kendall even has a music video shoot lined-up... that Abby insists has to film when Nia is shooting her own video. You know, so Nia can be excluded! Cause that's what everyone wants right?

    Meanwhile the girls get a crash course in acting with some help from Dallas Lovato (Demi's sister) who comes in to give the girls some pointers. Her critiques are very helpful, but she passes through the proverbial ALDC rubicon and gives some harsh notes to Maddie?!?! Is this actually happening on Dance Moms!?

    Quotes
    “If someone is throwing up, I'm throwing up too." (18:35-18:37 | Kelly)
    "I'm actually grateful I never saw her butt. I don't want to see anybody's butt!" (20:01-20:04 | Christi)
    “This is not shown, but Abby wasn't entirely honest with them. I'm shocked." (23:28-23:033| Kelly & Christi)
    “I'm thinking maybe you should listen to the lyrics just before announcing the dance at pyramid? Just a little, like just a one time go." (46:07-46:14 | Christi)

    "This is so giving like hostage situation where you try to send a note out screaming for help if you've been kidnapped." You would act like that too if your dance teacher was still holding a grudge against you for doing something completely innocuous. Yes the Holly and Nia punishment train is still running at top speed, though no one is safe from Abby's cruelty this week as she attempts to both gaslight the moms and throw a fit over the Candy Apples stellar performance.

    The ALDC arrives in Ohio and not 10 seconds into their entry into Candy Apples territory does Cathy and her moms come out swinging, and they're bringing out the big guns this time. It turns out while Kira had been away from the team, she texted Cathy to insult the ALDC and hype up Kalani, which not only embarrasses all the moms, but Abby acts as though it were no big deal for double the damage. Kira even tries to claim the email was about production and not the team... lol sure Jan. If that weren't enough to stress the already pressed upon team, Abby has set her team up for failure once again with weak choreography and some shockingly bad costume choices, a rare Abby miss there.

    But that's nothing compared to some of the cringiest Abby mudslinging yet after a post-show Production stunt blows up as expected and Abby shouts out stuff so callous and shocking, it's a miracle it actual made the final cut of the episode. Does that mean Abby approved of it and stood by her words? Does that actually make it worse in a way? Is this possibly up there for worst Dance Mom's storyline yet!? Probably!!!

    Quotes
    “So I did my split and I can't belie I could stand up after that. I can't believe you did the splits in that short skirt! " (03:37-03:45 | Kelly & Christi)
    "We love a pampered cooter." (20:06-20:08 | Christi)
    “Abby is yelling at the girls while running the dance, because it's another day in paradise." (29:00-29:04 | Christi)
    “[Due to a technicality] when Kendall's music video came out it surpassed Bad Blood by Taylor Swift... so Jill was tweeting Taylor that she hopes there's no bad blood between them. You're kidding me! Oh my god. Taylor Swift had to be laughing her ass off. I doubt Taylor Swift saw Dance Mom Jill's tweet." (1:37:09-1:37:30 | Christi & Kelly)
