Dance Moms Season 6 Episode 3 Recap: Will Abby Lee Miller Go to JAIL?!

Knock us over with a feather alert: Dance Moms Season 6 Episode 3 featured major drama between the dancers, the moms, and Abby.


Specifically, Abby Lee Miller’s legal woes were too much to handle as she left no doubt about how her pending case is rattling her.


If you watch Dance Moms online, you know Ms. Miller has been recruiting a new, mini-team to compete at the new ALDC Los Angeles.


The competition in “Mini Dancers, Big Drama,” however, was marred when Abby receives a phone call as she steps into the auditorium.


“I have to take this phone call,” Abby tells the moms by her side. “I just got a phone call for my attorney. I was expecting some news.”


“It could be good news or it could be bad news.”


Soon, we see her in tears talking to her lawyer.


Dance Moms regular Melissa Gisoni tells the Lifetime cameras that her daughters’ coach has been on an “emotional roller coaster.”


That’s sort of true all the time, but lately?


“Abby can’t handle anymore dramatic allegations. She’s already dealt with so [much] … this is the straw that broke the camel’s back.”


Soon enough, she’s on a different call.


A call that’s also going rather poorly.


“The court and the judge … they think I’m hiding money,” Abby laments, fighting off tears. “I can be in jail. So, who knows? I’m finished.”


Is she? Holly Frazier does not think Abby will survive this (as head of the ALDC at least) and that it should be “very interesting.”


Jill Vertes adds, “None of us know what the future holds for the ALDC, what happens to us [or the girls] if Abby Lee Miller goes to jail.”


For now, that remains a hypothetical.


Abby Lee Miller was charged with bankruptcy fraud in October, and she has pleaded not guilty to the charges. The case is pending.


Ultimately, this series of rough phone calls knocked Miller off her game so much that she had to up and leave as quickly as possible.


Despite having one group number and two solos in this particular competition in Santa Ana, Calif., Abby peaced out of the event.


She blows a kiss to the cameras and drives off.


The group, in her absence, won first prize for their “Straight Outta Pittsburgh” routine, while Kendall Vertes’ jazz solo placed second.


JoJo Siwa took third for her hip-hop routine.
