Nicaya Wiley

Abby leaves the team to fend for themselves when her pet passes away; the team heads to St. Louis to compete against the infamous Kaya Wiley.

With the cloud of Abby's open auditions looming over the team, everyone is on edge as the Abby Lee Dance Company competes with the Candy Apples for the first time since Nationals.

The Abby Lee Dance Company heads to New Orleans hoping to retain their championship title at Nationals; the tension between the mothers spills over into the street.

Abby gets a tip that her dancers will be competing against Cathy's dancers, so she creates three new dances in order to win; Kelly, Brooke and Paige have not shown up; Abby punishes Maddie by taking away her solo.

After missing the last competition, Abby returns to the studio only to receive the wrath of the Dance Moms as she tries to focus on Nationals, which are only two weeks away.
