About this episode

Christi and Kelly recap a dramatic episode of Dance Moms where the moms take matters into their own hands, leading to a confrontation with Abby.

Christi and Kelly recap Dance Moms season 5, episode 25 — “Abby vs. Kira,” where the moms have FINALLY had it waiting for Abby to give their girls real training. The ALDC is in Los Angeles, the studio still is not finished, the girls are not getting consistent classes... and yet Abby keeps blaming them for losing. So the moms decide to do something about it: they bring in Sondra, an outside teacher and choreographer, to lend an extra hand. But this is Dance Moms, so of course it ESCALATES in a hurry. Abby acts like the moms have betrayed her, shuts down the whole thing, and goes into full meltdown mode. Then the fight gets even more personal when Abby rejects Kalani, and Kira, at last, snaps at her. Bring on the fireworks!
