Dance Moms S07E06 - Abby Puts the Pressure on Nia to Finally Step It Up n Abby Lee Miller's mission on Dance Moms season 7 -- to bring her ALDC back to its glory days by forming a team with the perfect eight girls -- she is relentless in cutting those who aren't pulling their weight. Abby has been frequently setting up two dancers against one another, with the loser most likely being sent home. Now, in "No Clowning Around," Abby will pair up a veteran and a newbie to face off in the competition. However, this battle may end up causing even more drama between the moms. Second Chances Maesi and mom Jamie know that they have something to prove. At the end of the recent competition, Abby cut Maesi from the team. However, Yolanda pulled daughter Elliana from the team due to the other moms' treatment of her, giving Maesi a second chance. Will she be able to redeem herself? Elliana and Yolanda are also given another chance by Abby because they have returned for the upcoming competition. Abby is happy to see them back, especially since the other moms tried to persuade Abby to cut them. Abby wants them to know, once and for all, that no one has the power to send anybody home except for her. When announcing the pyramid, Abby reveals that the order, from top to bottom, is Maesi for ruining the group dance, Nia for never being present, then Camryn, Lilliana, Elliana, Kendall, Kalani and Brynn. The team will be traveling to the Dream Dance Challenge. Abby has chosen three of the girls to perform solos. Abby will look to see if Maesi can perform better as a soloist than in a group setting with her solo, "Encore." Abby also has Camryn performing "Endangered Species" and Nia with "Getting Away with Murder," which Abby says is a Maddie-inspired solo. The ALDC is excited for the routines this time, but they are nervous that Nationals are right around the corner and the team still isn't set in stone. Abby continuously brings in new members to form the perfect eight to win another Nationals title, but could this prevent the girls from being able to work as a solid team when the eight members are finally chosen? Defending Your Spot The pressure is on both Nia and Camryn in this competition. Abby lets them know that their solos will be going up against one another because she needs them to prove why they deserve to be on the team. Nia is the only Junior Elite veteran not to win first place this season for a solo, while Camryn, on the other hand, hasn't shown her true talents just yet. Holly and Camille believe Abby is only setting them up to compete since they are the only black girls on the team. Based on Abby's history, they may be right. But no matter what the true reasoning is, each girl should step it up because Abby promises that one of them could be cut if they lose. The girls will also perform the group routine "Clowning Around," which Brynn will lead. Abby's inspiration for this routine is coming right from the headlines of the epidemic of clowns scaring people all around the country. To instill the seriousness of this issue, Abby has a clown stalk the moms from outside the studio, which, rightfully so, terrifies them. "Maybe now they'll put a lot more into the routine," Abby says. After the moms recover from the chilling clown, Jill says the routine sucks and asks Ashlee if she truly wants Brynn to lead this one. Ashlee could care less because she is just happy that Brynn is still getting all of Abby's attention. She then calls Brynn the true face of the ALDC, which the other moms find to be hilarious. As Maesi rehearses "Encore," Jamie tries to come in and watch the routine. However, Abby is beyond irritated by her and tells her to "back off, bitch." Does this mean Maesi and Jamie will be sent home for good after this competition? Abby does give Maesi the opportunity to show off her talents in front of the other girls. This only frightens Camille because she wants Camryn to show off her skills as well. She then pulls Camryn aside to figure out why she is holding back. Camryn can only break down, and she tells her mom to stop pushing her. If this is truly her final week on the team, Camryn doesn't want any more drama.
